I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day discussing, and making videos about, the science of consciousness with the Big Think team! The first of a few videos was just released today:

Announcing My New Audio Documentary, LIGHTS ON!
My 10-part audio documentary, LIGHTS ON, will be released on March 18, 2025 and is NOW available for preorder wherever audiobooks are sold!
It was worth the wait to find such supportive and creative partners at Macmillan Audio, and I’m thrilled to finally launch this labor of love. Thank you to everyone who has patiently followed my long journey with this project. It’s an absolute privilege to have found so many of you who share my interest in consciousness, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

“Is Consciousness Everywhere?” My Interview with Philip Goff and Keith Frankish on Mind Chat
It turns out our views are quite similar, but we tried our best to disagree! It was such fun to (almost) debate my friend, Philip Goff, and Keith Frankish, whose work I also admire.
“Reality is Stranger Than You Think” My Interview With André Duqum
This was one of the most in-depth conversations I’ve had on a podcast. André and I discuss many of the topics that I cover in my upcoming docuseries, including how Sara Imari Walker has influenced my thinking, as well as the usual suspects: David Eagleman, Donald Hoffman, Anil Seth, Brian Green, Lee Smolin, Janna Levin, etc. I was impressed with Andre’s level of prep, and we were able to cover quite a range—neuroscience, plant biology, fundamental physics, to meditation.
My Talk: Is Consciousness Fundamental?
I gave a talk on September 8, 2023 in NY at a conference organized by Philip Goff and Andrei Buckareff on the topic of “treating consciousness as fundamental.” It was a fascinating and exciting gathering, and I was honored to present alongside so many brilliant scientists and philosophers—Lee Smolin, Don Hoffman, Luke Roelofs, and Hedda Hassel Morch were among them, along with a fun public debate the first evening between Philip Goff and Sean Carroll.
