incredibly curious and willing to just look and look and look and look and seek and say, actually, the way we feel things are is wrong. And the universe is structured in a different way. And there's usually a period of time, sometimes decades or more, before the evidence really encroaches in on our intuitions and gets us to start to think creatively and shift the way we feel.

The same was true for, you know, discovering the germ theory of disease. You know, eventually we developed tools where we could see the microscopic things. But first it was a theory and it was very hard for people to believe and to get their minds around because it just sounded crazy that there are these things we can't see or smell or taste or touch.

We can't perceive them, but they, that's what's making us sick and that they can kill us. And so there are all of these paradigm shifts in science, all these scientific breakthroughs that entail kind of new evidence coming in and shifting the way we thought things worked. And so I think we're We're at a place like that with consciousness now.

And this is some of the ways we can see through, at the very least, the way our intuitions tell us things are off.

Well, I do think consciousness is overrated in the sense that we think, you know, like a lot of things, we think we're special and we're the only ones that have it. And, you know, I do think human beings are special and obviously we do all kinds of things that no other living systems we know of can do. But I'm not sure that consciousness is. Mm-hmm.
