Last summer, something monumental happened. One of Uncuffed's founding producers, Greg Eskridge, came home after more than 30 years in prison. In this episode we’ll bring you back to that emotional day last summer when he walked out of the San Quentin gates, free at last. Our work in prisons is supported by the California Arts Council, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, independent foundations, and donations from listeners like you.

Chapter 1: We go day-tripping through the universe, big and small, and start to consider how it all might stack up against infinity. So don the headphones, lay back, and take that pause in the crazy while I meander through some of the many timeless riddles that have plagued humanity since we first looked up at the stars.

Can We Really Quantify CONSCIOUSNESS? 35:14

From the hard problem of consciousness to integrated information theory, humanity has desperately tried to understand the bounds of consciousness. But can it be reduced to a numerical value? Join us as we explore the complexities and the implications of measuring consciousness.

Is Time fundamentally quanta? And if so, are the self and consciousness also fundamentally quanta? What is it for something to be considered quanta in the first place, and furthermore… what does it mean to be fundamental? In this chapter, we unpick these and try to understand our 21st-century concepts of self, mind, time and reality.

How does the self retain identity when it's in constant flux? In this episode, we conclude the second half of this investigation, discussing modern advancements in neuroscience that shape our understanding of this metaphysical Self and its ever-shifting nature.

What happens when two minds govern the same brain? Do parasites dictate my identity?

Seeking Reality's Ultimate Character 12:55

Materialism or Idealism? What is reality's ultimate character? Matter, Mind or other? And perhaps more importantly, how should we be thinking about these questions and the answers we offer? Welcome to Unfoldings, a subseries designed to support our regular monthly 'Infinite Now' chapters. A chance to enable a deeper reflection upon some of the more nuanced philosophical and scientific concepts and also provides a place for our community to offer their thoughts, insights, and feedback.
