Mind-Body Solution with Dr Tevin Naidu

Curt Jaimungal is a Torontonian filmmaker and podcast host, with a Degree in Mathematical Physics from the University of Toronto. His channel "Theories of Everything" (TOE) analyses various "Theories of Everything" by exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner. Similar to Mind-Body Solution, a separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, Curt is increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information. If you enjoy Mind-Body Solution, you'll love Theories of Everything - check out his channel, like, and subscribe!

François Kammerer is a French Philosopher of Mind. He received training in philosophy at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon (MA) and at the Université Paris-Sorbonne (PhD). After his PhD, he held positions as a lecturer in Paris (Ecole Normale Supérieure/Institut Jean Nicod) and as a postdoctoral research fellow in Belgium (Université catholique de Louvain/FNRS), Germany (Ruhr-Universität Bochum/Humboldt Foundation) and the United States (New York University) and currently a postdoc at the Institute for Philosophy of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. His research mostly focuses on phenomenal consciousness. He defends an illusionist conception of phenomenal consciousness: it introspectively seems to us that we are phenomenally conscious, but we are not. Such a conception raises all kinds of difficult and fascinating issues, from a metaphysical, psychological, epistemological and moral perspective – which he explores in his work.
