E144 - Phillip Goff: Why Does The Universe Exist? Panpsychism, Fine-Tuning & Cosmic Purpose

So there are lots of challenges with this view, but that's the view we've been exploring.

Let me say, though, I do think there's a big problem that... But physics students are not taught about this core philosophical mystery of quantum mechanics. I talk to physicists a lot and a lot of them just don't get what's mysterious about quantum mechanics because it's a philosophical issue. right? The equations work fine, right?

You take the Schrodinger equation, the Born rule, you apply them, you know what's going to happen, or you know the probability of what's going to happen. But these questions of what is going on in reality, I think every physics undergraduate should have a philosophy-based course that delves into that a little bit. And it's part of

the problem with our time that we've forgotten the importance of philosophy. And I don't think we're going to make progress on consciousness, on quantum mechanics, or this fundamental, what's called the measurement problem, this fundamental challenge of quantum mechanics, or fine tuning until we take both the experiments and philosophical conceptual reflection on them. We take both seriously.
