  • What is More Real, Beauty or My Shoes? An Interview with Michael Edward Johnson

    In September 2024, I traveled from Leipzig to Rome to interview Michael Edward Johnson, a theoretical neuroscientist and philosopher whose work on formalizing consciousness and neural annealing—alongside his cofounder Andrés Gómez-Emilsson—has been a crucial component in the creation of “The Good Annealing Manual: From Psychedelic Alchemy to the Chemistry of the Mind” (QRI, in press)…

  • Adapting Humanity: Genetic Engineering and Cutaneous Respiration as Solutions for a Flooded Future

    Throughout history, civilizations facing catastrophic floods have turned to monumental solutions—such as the biblical ark—to preserve humanity in times of crisis. Rather than simply fleeing from rising seas and planet Earth, we should explore genetic adaptations that allow humans to thrive in an aquatic environment, creating a new paradigm of resilience that embraces the changing world…

  • 16. Someone to Complete Us: Vestiges of the Bicameral Mind (Part I)

    I can’t remember the last time that I read a book about consciousness that had such a mindfuck effect on me. Here are some half-baked thoughts on Julian Jayne’s bicameral mind until I’ve gathered some diagrams to demonstrate what I really want to say. I just have to start. The Other Half: A Jungian and…

  • 15. Gravity and Graviception During Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs)

    Posted on 17 April 2024 by Beata Grobenski, grobenskibeata@gmail.com Are Frank Wilczek’s time crystals hinting at Plato’s Eternal Forms? To think about OBEs purely scientifically, I think we’ll first have to figure out what an “im-pression” is in the context of Qualia Formalism. We’re not there yet. Obviously, this is still pretty much just philosophy.…

  • 14. The Outer vs. Inner Path: Material vs. Phenomenal Trajectory in Dual-Aspect Monism

    I don’t think valence itself is necessarily a complex phenomenon, and just because the methodology of affective neuroscience isn’t generating crisp insights doesn’t mean there are no crisp insights to be had. Michael Edward Johnson, Principia Qualia I. Wisdom and Independence From External Validation In numerous conversations, I’ve often encountered the concept of an “old…

  • Why Music Theory of Consciousness? Investigation of Qualia Formalism at the Implementation Level

    In September, I wrote an 8,000-word essay for a contest organized by Philip Goff and Andrei Berkoff “Is Consciousness Fundamental?”. The text is about the need to update our dominant paradigm, and it tends to bridge the gaps between science and spirituality by introducing qualia fields into fundamental physics. As it got rejected, I decided…

  • Project: Annealing Salons – Towards Harmonic Society

  • 11. The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso from the Perspective of Neural Annealing

    The survival of the stable is a meta-principle. From it you can derive the three principles of evolution; it is a deeper truth. Yes, sure, there’s biological organisms and all that. You know, if a rock is really stable, it will be here, it will be around if it has mechanisms to continue to exist.…

  • 10. Fine-Structure Constant as Coupling Property of Qualia Underlying Spacetime: From Phenomenally Bound Qualia to the Language of Spacetime

    I’m not a girl, not yet a woman, but why not share some thoughts? Maybe I inspire another hermit. What I mean is, I’m insecure about the formalism, lost in translation like everyone else, but I also don’t care about winning this lottery. I just want to help myself and others. Important thing not to…

  • From Dating App Randomness to a Space-Time Crystal

    Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you. Well, I think it was Sunday evening, September 2020. I was lazying around in my bed and probably felt somewhat horny because I usually don’t really open up Tinder. In an ocean of randomness and extremely boring and uniformed profiles, I stumbled…
