In this video from 2020, he points out that hylozoism is a worldview that postulates the entire universe is, in some sense, alive. He contrasts it with terms hylostochastic and hylostatic — that the universe is probabilistic or that it is deterministic. He suggests that this worldview enables one to formulate scientific questions — related, for example, to parapsychology — that are considered unacceptable by many scientists.
Edited subtitles for this video are available in Russian, Portuguese, Italian, German, French, Swedish, and Spanish.
New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.
