Consciousness: The Hard Problem | Why You Are You

Описание: You are conscious right now. You see, feel, think. There's something it's like to be you. But why? Your brain is just atoms and neurons. Why does processing information feel like anything? This is the hard problem of consciousness—the deepest mystery in science and philosophy.

In this video, we explore qualia, the explanatory gap, physicalism, panpsychism, Integrated Information Theory, and whether consciousness will ever be explained.

🧠 What You'll Learn:

The hard problem vs easy problems of consciousness

What are qualia? The subjective quality of experience

Why neural correlates don't explain experience

Physicalism: consciousness is brain activity

The explanatory gap and philosophical zombies

Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Phi (Φ)

Global Workspace Theory and Recurrent Processing

Panpsychism: consciousness is fundamental

The combination problem: how do micro-minds become one mind?

Idealism: mind is primary, matter is derivative

Quantum consciousness (Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR)

Is consciousness an illusion? (Dennett)

The meta-problem: why do we think consciousness is hard?
