“We are entropic eddies complex enough to have woken up“ - Sci-Fi author Peter Watts - EP:56
Peter Watts () is a Hugo Award winning sci-fi author. His works include the Rifters trilogy (e.g. Starfish) & the Firefall series (e.g. Blindsight). He earned a Ph.D from the Univ of BC Canada. He held several academic positions & worked as a marine-mammal biologist before becoming an author.
In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what’s real?” & “what matters?” Sentientism is “evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings.“ The audio is on our Podcast: & .
We discuss:

1:30 Peter’s Intro - Baptist to biology to sci-fi
- A father so confident in Baptist truth that he encouraged questioning “He taught so many people about the word of god but had somehow failed to reach me“
- Becoming a marine biologist then fleeing the political bullshit
