What I’ve learned about the hard problem of consciousness

<p>In this episode I summarize my investigation of consciousness. I’ve been interviewing several experts and there is a huge diversity of thought on the topic of thought. It is called ‘the hard problem of consciousness’ to explain why we have a subjective experience of existence.</p> <p>What have I learned? The problem is hard because people don’t agree on an objective set of criteria about what consciousness entails.  If there is no clear definition, it is no surprise it is hard to explain.  Philosophers fall back on the word ‘Qualia’ meaning those set of 1st person experiences which evade any objective definition.</p> <p><a href='Www.TheRationalView.ca'> Www.TheRationalView.ca </a></p> <p>Facebook @TheRationalView</p> <p>Twitter @AlScottRational</p> <p>Instagram @The_Rational_View</p> <p>#TheRationalView #podcast #consciousness #sentience #thought</p>
