Adventures in Awareness | Federico Faggin | Bernardo Kastrup: Quantum Physics, Spirituality & Consciousness @adventuresinawareness | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This was an excerpt from a 5-week discussion series with Bernardo Kastrup, Nov 2022, with guest Federico Faggin.

Federico Faggin is an Italian-American physicist, engineer, inventor and entrepreneur. He is best known for designing the first commercial microprocessor, the Intel 4004. In 2010, he received the 2009 National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the highest honor the United States confers for achievements related to technological progress.

In 2011, Faggin founded the Federico and Elvia Faggin Foundation to support the scientific study of consciousness at US universities and research institutes.

Bernardo considers him ‘probably the most well-rounded Idealist alive today.’

He has a new book just released available here: collectiveinkbooks.com/essentia-books/our-books/irreducible-consciousness-life-computers-human-nature

We discussed:

Federico's journey to his model of reality
How science must completely change to incorporate consciousness
How quantum states make sense when viewed as descriptions of experience
How consciousness and life are nothing like computers
How meditation, spirituality and science relate
