Ep. 195 - What Can Consciousness Tell Us About Fundamental Reality? w/ Dr. Josh Rasmussen
Parker's Pensées
What Is the Difference Between Nothing and Nothing?
Many philosophers are plagued by this sot of hard problem of how you explain consciousness. I quote a philosopher who makes the argument that there aren't thoughts anywhere in reality, not in your own mind and nowhere else. And so i'm very sincere in that opening argument.

How can that exist? There is almost like this magic, you know, like rubbing a lamp and then magic pops out.
