The Two Observers are back! To raise the bar.. To once again strike at the heart of what it truly means.. to observe. This age-old mystery has haunted us ever since we became observant of the truth.. the truth of ourselves being the observers. I observe; therefore, I am the observed. Does me being the observed imply here that there is another observer observing me? Not necessarily.. because all true observers are necessarily self-observing.

In this episode (link in bio), titled “Naturalistic Monism”, my lovely co-host Arielle and I discuss a theory of self-observation that roots it firmly in the physical. Common sense intuitions, subliminally informed by mind-body dualism, often mislead people into believing that the observer is somehow distinct.. from the physical phenomenon which underpins the process of observing. But must that be so? Perhaps the observer.. is precisely that.. which is doing the observing?

Could The Cartesian Devil and The Observing Eye.. be merely two faces of the same pretty penny? We offer you no concrete answers.. but as for further questions.. we offer.. oh.. so.. many.
