Tree in the afternoon light, Julian Alps, Slovenia. September 2025 Dear friends, In the previous Musing, I talked about echo chambers, and I suggested that our entire society can be seen as a kind of echo chamber, in which dominant viewpoints and worldviews are constantly reflected and amplified, while divergent, dissident, or unusual viewpoints are underrepresented, suppressed, or silenced. Society as a whole is the echo chamber you don’t even realize you’re in. That “overar

Sunset near the village of Ág, Hungary. September 2026 Dear friends, Over the past few months, I’ve shared a number of interviews with leading scientists about some surprising insights emerging in science and the philosophy of science—insights that have far-reaching implications for the way we view the world and ourselves. And I will share many more interviews and lectures like these in the months to come. Most of these scientists are completely unknown to the general public.

My apologies for the

Eight-minute video in which Dean Radin, chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, recounts an unlikely case of synchronicity that happened to him personally. Warmly recommended! Dear friends, In the previous Musing, I shared a very long interview with you, so this time I’m serving up a very short excerpt from an interview. Just to restore the karmic balance. And since I promised you a while back to tell you more about the phenomenon of synchronicity (or meaningful

Half-hour interview with New York physician, scientist, and philosopher Neil Theise, on complexity, emergence, and consciousness as the basis of reality. Dear friends, As promised in the previous post, I will begin this series Musings and Meditations by introducing a number of remarkable scientists and philosophers whose work opens up extraordinary perspectives on a possible new understanding of what the world actually is, and what we actually are. All these extraordinary sci

Lake Balaton, Hungary, April 2025 Dear friends, Let us first turn the above question around: why short and sweet? This, of course, refers to resolution number six in the recent blog post ‘New Year’s Resolutions’: the intention to strive for conciseness and brevity in this blog from now on. This is really a serious challenge for me, but one that I am taking on with determination! Brevity means, in concrete terms: a maximum of 1200 words, whereas posts have been at times three
