Why Your Consciousness Will Never Be Just Atoms in the Void

from artificially aware · host Artificially Aware

This is a provocative deep dive into the philosophical argument against physicalism and its failure to explain the mystery of consciousness. I challenge the dominant scientific view that everything, including your mind, can be reduced to physical facts. We journey through Christian List's powerful critique of physicalism, drawing on thought experiments like Mary the Neuroscientist and philosophical zombies. In a world where science can't explain the feeling of being you, are we standing at the edge of a new metaphysical revolution? Join me as we explore why consciousness will never be just atoms in the void.
