David Frum: How much of consciousness is agency? If you were to come back, but like half way, that's, is that you? I mean, like, are you still really you? And how much of being you determines what consciousness is? He says a third of the mornings he wakes up and asks himself, am I still me or am I someone else? "I never really needed coffee. That's just that's my jump start"
Can we bring people back from the dead? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice discuss restoring dead cells, the nature of consciousness, Frankenstein's monster, zombies, and more with neuroscientist, David Andrijevic and consciousness expert, George Mashour.
