Matt Ridley: It's called mysterious, the idea that consciousness may be too difficult for the human brain to understand. He says as we learn more, we learn of what we don't know and mysteries keep going. Ridley: I certainly wouldn't bet against us being able to understand consciousness at some point in your or my lifetime.
Matt Ridley talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about his latest book, The Evolution of Everything. Ridley applies the lens of emergent order to a wide variety of phenomena including culture, morality, religion, commerce, innovation, and consciousness.
