    #927 - Annaka Harris - Unpacking The Mystery Of Consciousness
    Apr 12 2025
    Annaka Harris is an author, editor, and speaker focused on neuroscience and consciousness. What does it mean to be conscious? What is consciousness? These questions have puzzled humanity for millennia. Despite our greatest scientific breakthroughs and philosophical efforts, are we any closer to understanding the origins and true nature of consciousness? Expect to learn the most unsettling idea about consciousness that keeps Annaka up at night, if consciousness is behind our eyes, if love is a 3-dimensional construct, if consciousness is just a malfunction of the brain, rather than an essential feature, if AI is conscious or not, if neuroscience has been useful in unraveling the deep questions of consciousness, the illusions that dominate our brains, If we are living in a world where 99% of people are philosophical zombies and we just don’t know and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get a 20% discount on Nomatic’s amazing luggage at https://nomatic.com/modernwisdom Sign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period from Shopify at https://shopify.com/modernwisdom Find Kettle & Fire Maui Nui Venison Bone Broth at Whole Foods stores nationwide.

Phenomenal!

This podcast show has inspired me to become a better human being. Not only entertaining but highly informative. I love that Chris doesn't seem to be polarized on any subject. It is refreshing to not have ideas crammed down my throat, but brought forth with reason and intelligence. I have learned so much through this. Thank you!

The only podcast I listen to every episode of

I normally watch on youtube and the production is slightly different but both variations are incredible.
Chris has become the best podcast interviewer that I've ever seen, it's awesome to see the progression from his first podcast to now. Knowing when to speak and when not to is so hard with some guests and he seems to have mastered it.

The variety of information is engaging, interesting, and informative. This podcast always leaves me with notes to ponder.

Thanks Chris! Keep up the good work!
