#326 – Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality
Lex Fridman Podcast

I think we've made this anthropomorphic mistake. We're conscious and it's very hard to get evidence. It's the one thing in nature that we can't get conclusive evidence of from the outside. And at this point in my thinking after a few conversations with some physicists I think if consciousness is fundamental the only thing that actually makes sense is that it is part of the fabric of reality. So you see consciousness as giving a felt experience to our uniqueness as opposed to the uniqueness giving birth to consciousness. Yes, and that potentially there is felt experience even though it sounds crazy even to me that there is felt experiences in all matter.
