Description:
Richard James Lucido earned a PhD. in psychology from Wayne State University in 2011. He is a practitioner of educational and behavioral psychology in the Detroit Area. He is the author of Existence & Consciousness: A Theory of Naturalistic Idealism. A peer reviewed author of papers spanning the disciplines of psychology, philosophy, and education, Dr. Lucido’s main interest is the subject of metaphysical idealism, the notion that consciousness is the primary constituent of reality.
Dr. Lucido speaks about the relationship between consciousness and quantum mechanics. Richard outlines his theory of naturalistic idealism, where consciousness is primary, and matter emerges as information. Lucido also describes his experimental work testing whether consciousness itself causes the collapse of the quantum wave function.
