Awara is known for a weightless feeling with neutral spine alignment, so no sinking or pulling on the natural curve of your back. For a limited time, you get 499 dollars in free accessories, two natural latex pillows, cotton sheets, and a waterproof mattress protector with every mattress purchase. And feel good knowing that awara plants ten trees with every purchase.
Those of us who think that that the laws of physics underlying everyday life are completely known tend to also think that consciousness is an emergent phenomenon that must be compatible with those laws. To hold such a position in a principled way, it’s important to have a clear understanding of “emergence” and when it happens. Anil Seth is a leading researcher in the neuroscience of consciousness, who has also done foundational work (often in collaboration with Lionel Barnett) on what emergence means. We talk about information theory, entropy, and what they have to do with how things emerge.
