Join me for a discussion with neuroscientist Rachel Denison and to see me comically flustered. For the first thirty-minutes or so of our discussion I thought we were live-streaming when we weren’t! That hasn’t happened to me since the old days of Spacetime Mind. I must be rusty!

2024 is here and I am slowly coming out of my book-writing-induced coma to return to normal daylight activities. I have submitted the manuscript and we’ll see what reviewers think. In the meantime, I am slowly getting a line up for some Consciousness Live! discussions in the New Year. I started off the New Year with a great discussion with Felipe de Brigard (below) and have a few more in the works. Should be fun!
