Why Science Can't Explain Consciousness — And It Has Nothing to Do With the Brain

from Luminary Flow · host Kolbrún | Luminary Flow

Why Science Can't Explain Consciousness — And It Has Nothing to Do With the Brain Science has been trying to explain consciousness for decades. The data keeps accumulating. The mystery keeps deepening. But what if the problem isn't the data — what if it's the method itself? In this episode we look at why consciousness resists every instrument science can build, why thinkers like Schrödinger, William James, and Thomas Nagel concluded that the hard problem isn't hard — it's the wrong kind of question entirely — and why the only instrument capable of investigating consciousness is the one you're using right now to listen to this.
