Episode description

Science has long wrestled with what is known as 'the hard problem' – how did consciousness arise out of matter? But what if we've been approaching the problem wrong, all this time? Thanks to some of the world's leading philosophers, neuroscientists and psychedelic researchers, this consciousness-expanding episode delves into panpsychism, the theory that mind is a fundamental property of the universe.

Along the way we'll discuss psychedelic experiences, why we won't be downloading our minds onto a floppy disc any time soon and how panpsychism could even be good for our mental health.

With Anil Seth, Philip Goff, Peter Sjoestedt-Hughes, Mark Vernon and Hedda Hassel Mørch.
