Donald Hoffman

And is that just a transitional thing or is it more permanent and so forth?

Well, yeah, so I do post on Twitter.

My handle is at Donald D. Hoffman, H-O-F-F-M-A-N, all one word lowercase.

And every time I publish a paper, I put a link to the actual journal article.

And then also talks like this, podcasts, anything that comes up, I will post those.

So there, you can also...

If you're a scientist, of course, you can just go to Google Scholar and type in my name.

If you just dolly hop on Google Scholar, you can get directly to roughly 120 publications.

Oh, that's an interesting question. I'll say a few things.

So people use the word consciousness in a variety of ways, but often people think of more complex thought, self-awareness, things that are more specific to human beings. But what I mean when I use the word and what I'm interested in and what I think is so mysterious and what's so difficult for scientists to study is, is something much more fundamental.

So consciousness in the most basic sense, which I usually like to just call felt experience. I think that's the best way of getting at what it is that I'm talking about. So if a B has some minimal level of consciousness. If a worm has some minimal level of consciousness and neuroscientists do not have a consensus on these things yet.

We think it's likely that they have some conscious experience because they have brains and central nervous systems. But if they do, it's a very minimal experience. You know, something like a worm or a slug might just feel pressure against their skin. Maybe some internal kind of desire, like we have a feeling of hunger or something like that when they need to go towards food.
