This interview with Bernardo was even more brilliant than the last one! I really think that Bernardo is on top of the game when it comes to consciousness. The attempt to use reason and rationality to beat the equivalent shallow versions that we have today is very powerful. In other words, to use sound and grounded arguments against materialism and skepticism (cynicism) is done with maestria! The interviewer was well informed about Bernardo works and made great questions! Subscribed.

Of all the videos of Bernardo chatting with interviewers - Evita rates as one of the best in bringing out Bernardo's wisdom in a loving and joyful atmosphere. Thanks Evita! Thanks Bernardo!

Evita, you do a great show and I always love listening (and reading) Bernardo, unfortunately his audio makes this interview almost unlistenable....sorry..

@Vitotesta 9 лет назад

Great stuff. On another note, I'm guessing the annoying feedback your videos have when the guest talks is because you are monitoring the audio without headphones. Please consider looking into ear-buds or headphones for yourself to make your videos even more exceptional : ) THANKS!

@EvitaOchel 9 лет назад

Guitar Lessons Redmond Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. With respect to the headphones, I am wearing them always in my videos. I use one of those concealed ear-mouth devices that you will see in some videos depending where my hair is. What I've found over the years is that it depends on many factors, sometimes the strength of the internet connection between myself and guest, especially depending on geographic locations/distances, but more often than not, it comes down to the guest's audio equipment and how it is picked up over Skype by the integrated recording software. Last year I tried everything to remedy the situation as it got exceptionally worse, but it always came down to the factors I mentioned, as I clearly saw the difference depending on the guest's audio set-up, headphones, etc. Even basic audio-video editing is not able to remedy the muffled-like interference. I really wish it could be perfect and crisp on both mine and the guest's end, but this appears to be one of those challenges and limitations of working via this kind of technology and only really being able to control my end.

Evita Ochel Thanks for your reply. Weird. Having seen other videos without the feedback I'm sure there's a solution but only wish I knew enough about it to have constructive input. Are you wearing a microphone? Just wondering if somehow the mic is picking up audio from either your computer or even head phones.Wish you the best in one day solving the conundrum, In the meantime thanks for the great videos : )

@EvitaOchel 9 лет назад

Guitar Lessons Redmond You're very welcome and thanks for taking the time to offer suggestions. As for microphone, yes my headpiece is an ear and mouth (mic) piece and I've noticed that whether I had this one or two others in the past, that didn't change things. I wouldn't "dare" do a recording without one as I know the consequences of that... It really all seems to come down to the variability with regards to the things I mentioned. Thanks anyway :)

Have a number of Bernado's books and like him. By the way, my audio isn't very good b/c his voice sounds warbled.

Again, an outstanding high quality interview with an outstanding guest! I am happy that I have found your channel! Given the high quality of your videos, I wonder why they don't have at least an order of magnitude more views. Maybe the niveau is too advanced for the average RU-vid user...

@EvitaOchel 9 лет назад

HighCarb Schwabe Thank you so much! Your feedback means a lot and it is great to hear you enjoyed this episode. As for views....I don't "market" this work, just share freely and trust that the right audience will find it. Perhaps it is too passive of an approach, but it is what feels right. There is no doubt though, that many people in our society prefer "surface-level" and "quick-fix" type of content, where as I really want to ignite depth and inspire effective, root-level change.

@highcarbschwabe658 9 лет назад

Thanks for your reply! It is honorable and says a lot about your intentions that you prioritize the quality of your videos over getting a maximum of attention. I have a feeling that this will turn out to be a good decision in the long term. Thanks again and keep up the outstanding work!

You drove back home avoiding collisions . These potential collisions were illusory of course as there is no real material world out there . Next time , why not sleep at the wheel of your car Dr Kastrup ?
