I wouldn't call it unsettling. I would call it exciting and mysterious. And I'm a bit obsessed thinking about how it is that All of this non-conscious matter in the universe, this universe that is apparently made of all this non-conscious matter, in some instances gets configured in such a way that there's an experience of being that matter from the inside.

And how that process takes place, how it could be... let me go back. So what it's like actually to jump on that spectrum. So clearly, there's a range of conscious experiences that a living being or system can have.

Some very, very minimal experiences, maybe, you know, if snails are conscious, there's very minimal experience of being a snail, maybe pressure, a sense of heat and cold, maybe some very a rudimentary experience of hunger, a desire to move toward food, that type of thing, and then all the way up to human beings and all the things that we experience.

But the question for me and the thing that does keep me up at night is, what is that transition from no-consciousness to consciousness? And how is that anything but a completely unexplained mystery? There doesn't seem to be anything. I've worked with neuroscientists for more than 20 years now and studied the science of consciousness.

And we have not made any progress in the sciences in understanding how consciousness comes to be. That was a long answer to your question.

I think it's a categorically different thing than anything else science has studied before. And actually, Philip Goff has a wonderful book that explains this very well called Galileo's Error. And it is because we have these fantastic tools in science for studying behavior from the outside.

And the thing that's unique about consciousness and the reason why I find it so fascinating and why it keeps me up at night is because It's a different property that we're trying to get at, which is experience from the inside. It can only be felt from the inside. So you and I are very similar beings. We're similar systems. And so we experience a lot of the same things.
