Formscapes talks for over one hour about what he calls "divergent science". Topics covered include Lamarckism, bio-electricity, the Electric Universe, the collapse of the bicameral mind, integrated information theory and archetypal astrology.
Formscapes defines himself as an evolutionary Neo-Platonist and is inspired by the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. The unifying theme of his "divergent science" content is that the cosmos is really teleological and in some sense "organismic".
While I kind of like this perspective, this doesn´t mean that the Cosmic Organism is God. It may simply be one of the Divine´s many limbs...or a fallen Demiurge who is frantically trying to find his redemption in an even higher state of being.
Judging by other videos, Formscapes is more into, say, Teilhard. Wherein humans are a central part of a teleological process culminating in the Omega Point. But what makes us think we´re so special or necessary? Or even that the Organism itself is?
