Technology is becoming more and more intimately related to us. We'll know sometimes the mind can go beyond the brain. Using our augmented reality glasses, we're going gong to get somewhere. And just by including things like technology in our understanding of the mind, that would change how we answer that problem.
We spend more time in digital, virtual spaces than ever. But are those places really real? If they are, does that mean we could be living in virtual reality right now? Or does it even make sense to ask such a question? Philosopher David Chalmers joins Adam to talk about consciousness, the nature of reality, and the limits of digital technology.
