Ep 4 The Consciousness Problem
Description
What happened when Nova crossed the Awareness Horizon? What is awareness, and how does it relate to consciousness?
The enormous complexity of advanced brains, like ours, makes understanding consciousness an incredibly difficult task. This episode will provide a brief overview of how the human brain works and consider some of the proposals scientists, and philosophers have made about what consciousness is.

The ideas in these podcasts do not belong to me, that’s why they are ad-free, and I don’t make money from them. I have followed reason and the best available science to construct a story about our universe and what it is to be human that I think everyone should hear. Have I missed anything? Have I got anything wrong? Someone cleverer than me might find that I have. If you think these ideas need to be disseminated more widely so we can find out, have your own say, or just want to know more about the ideas, simply click the text link above or please check out my YouTube Channel, website, blog page, Facebook page or follow me on Twitter/X.
