Episode notes

i was on a mind chat with philip goff a, keith frankish and barry lower. They were discussing whether physics acts differently in the brain as compared to lab based environments. In his solo follow up podcast, philip insisted that he would not expect strong emergence to be present in lab based particle experiments because the environment was not a complex one. And these lab based observations could not exclude the idea that strong emergence could be present in the brain due to its inherent xity. Could you comment on this? Sure you know i've had on podgas before? Philip goff doesn't believe that physics is going all by itself to explain consciousness.

Welcome to the June 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! We are inaugurating a slightly different publication schedule, in which these monthly AMA will take the place of one of the regular Monday episodes, rather than being in addition to all of them. A slight tweak that will hopefully make my obligations a little more manageable.

These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
