Consciousness: The Hard Problem | Why Are You Aware?

Описание: Right now, you're having an experience. There's something it's like to be you. But science cannot explain why. This is the hard problem of consciousness—and it's the greatest mystery in all of science.
​

In this video, we explore the hard problem, David Chalmers' easy vs hard problems, philosophical zombies, existentialist phenomenology, neuroscience theories (IIT, Global Workspace), panpsychism, quantum consciousness, and why consciousness might be unsolvable.
