EP 24: Gary Lachman on the History of Consciousness

Gary Lachman, former bassist of the band Blondie, member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, joins me for an eclectic conversation on the history and mystery of consciousness. Part of what I love about podcasting is getting to talk to people like Gary on topics that we ultimately have no true understanding of--consciousness being one of them. There are, of course, theories. There have always been theories of what creates this mysterious sense of "being you." Having explored and continuing to explore many of these theories, is what lead me to Gary's work, which takes an unconventional, but not entirely unusual view on how consciousness came to be, and where it's heading. What a fun and thought-provoking episode. A little different than anything so far, but isn't that what this show is about? Generalism.
