You Don_t Know Anything About Consciousness
from THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP · host THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP
Close your eyes and consider that the one thing you know best—your own consciousness—may be the greatest mystery of all. A quiet journey into the science and philosophy of the mind. We assume our awareness is a product of brain activity, but no one can explain how a lump of grey matter creates the vivid experience of being alive. Some scientists argue that consciousness is not a byproduct, but a fundamental feature of the universe, as basic as space and time. The "hard problem" of consciousness is not just unsolved—it is so deep that we may not even be asking the right questions. Let this humble reflection on the limits of human understanding carry you into a deep and restful sleep.
