Galileo’s Error | Philip Goff

Understanding how brains produce consciousness is one of the great scientific challenges of our age.  Some philosophers argue that consciousness is something "extra," beyond the physical workings of the brain.  Others think that if we persist in our standard scientific methods, our questions about consciousness will eventually be answered.  And some even suggest that the mystery is so deep, it will never be solved.  Decades have been spent trying to explain consciousness from within our current scientific paradigm, but little progress has been made.
