The Consciousness Discussion — Part II
Details
NOTE: Last week's conversation was so good we didn't finish it. We covered about half the discussion guide before time ran out, which honestly felt appropriate for a topic this size. So we're going again.
Material for discussion
Same two sources as last week:
- "Your guide to consciousness" interview with Michael Pollan from Think, produced locally by KERA.
- A short, readable overview of the major ideas in the field. It expands on the Pollan interview and gives everyone a shared vocabulary going in.
