The Consciousness Discussion!
Rogers Roundhouse, 1616 Rogers Rd, Fort Worth, TX, USNOTE: This is a BIG topic and it will undoubtedly generate a lot of discussion. As such, I'm considering extending our usual end time to 9:30 just for this discussion. Y'all give me some feedback on this.
Material for discussion
We have two sources of media for our discussion this time. First is an interview with Michael Pollan, "Your guide to consciousness," from the Think podcast produced locally by KERA. The second is an easy-to-read reference to orient us all is in some of the prevailing ideas on this subject. It expands on the Pollan interview.All of the media can be found here →
