Episode notes

The debate is, do we have the tools right now and the methodology that we will ultimately be able to explain consciousness? Ye. It's always been a deeply dissatisfying are a philosophical inquiry for me. i think it's partly because of the theterminology and in the weedness of it that's so hard to follow. And am just the unsatisfying nature of the explanations that have been offered.
