I'm so grateful to Robert and the rest of the CTT team for taking the time to create and publish these incredible interviews. Thank you!

[hirad]

The most underrated YouTube channel of all time but this channel has already about half million of flwrs which are curious so much to following this great Chanel

[Seekthetruth]

Thank you for posting these episodes here.🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

I came to the conclusion when I was 14 that many truths are paradoxical. It was such a huge moment for me that I remember where I was and what I was doing.

[RalphWilliams]

Masterful! What a great production! Thank you for sharing so much knowledge with us!

[johnbuckner]

Excellent video. You seriously need to make a full-length documentary brother; everyone with a splinter in their mind will flock to it.

[koolkrapsandracetracks]

I dont know if youve done a segment on simulation theory or life as a game but it adds something to this. Everything is created for the game. If you go to the furthest reaches of the world you might just find a place where the edges are kinda blocked out or just out of reach. The more you explore this argument the more you see in everyday life.

[SolveEtCoagula]

As a Zen master once said, ‘Too much Mind’. Everything is said.

I have a great time watching these intelligent people trying to answer unanswerable quiestions in a polite way and how many start to loose their patience when the can't, which obviously is the goal of the presenter.

[FAAMS]

One of the best episodes so far. And the one certainly closer to my own personal quest in Philosophy.

[ultraplusmusic]

He upholds all things by the word of his power.

[MrRandomcommentguy]

so far in all these interviews in the last set of episodes, only George Ellis really says things that made sense to me.

[thorthelionkingodinson]

The concept, or nature or definition of something is the most fundamental part of anything conceivable by the human mind, therefore every thing our mind perceives must be conceived and conceptions only happen in a mind.

I am hoping one day Khun also holds an interview with one of renowned Zen masters, such as Vet. Pomnyun Sunim, on his views on fundamental categories of existence basis Buddhist teachings and his perceptions of the world. Would be an interesting approach to seeing consciousness and theism.

[Syntaxxed]

George Ellis has a very clear way of talking about these subjects.

[sheenaalexis]

Barry got that scientist hair! Haha love it.

[vjntstar]

very good video. when I think about these things I always end questioning the meaning of the question. what does "exist" mean? I am not clear on that. What is the specific property that something that exists has and that something that does not exist has not?

[ruthfremont]

Sometimes, when there seems to be no satisfactory answer to a question, the reason
is that it’s the wrong question; for example a fish asking “ Why is there only water?”

[rudy]

Absolute Energy is the primal act of being. All else derives from this ground of Being.
