Know Thyself · E205 - Anil Seth: Your Perception of Reality & Self Is a Hallucination · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

I mean, I don't use it that way.

I use, try to use anyway, consciousness, awareness and sentience

to mean the same thing.

And that thing is very minimal.

It's the Thomas Nagel sense of any kind of experience whatsoever.

There is something it is like to be you.

There is not anything it is like to be this beautiful side table here.

This is an object.

It doesn't feel like anything to be a table, at least I don't think so.

Yeah, that's a huge question.

Just a simple little question for you, Anil.

It's a very important current question.

It's a difficult problem.

And you could, again, just sort of, you could be very philosophical about it and say, I only really know that I'm conscious and then even know that you're conscious.

But I have limited patience for that kind of solipsism.

I'm pretty sure you're conscious.

I'm pretty sure all other people are conscious.

And that's good enough for me.

I don't have to have some sort of one plus one equals two level proof.

It's just, that's fine.
