Eye On A.I. · How Modern Science Got Consciousness Wrong From the Start | Philip Goff · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

Why is it not a scientific question?

Because

Because the task of consciousness is to marry, to bring together this stuff we know about from the inside.

with the stuff we know about from experiments and observations from the outside to bring them together, to find a simple way of unifying them.

And that's that's not just not a scientific task.

We're in this period of history where people can't

can't get a grip on that.

They think, you know, uh experiments tell us everything.

That's but I think once we understand think deeply, for example, about how science was set up, um

It's it's it's not every question could be answered in experiment and this is one question that that is just not an experimental scientific question, although it's very closely related to the science of consciousness.

So we need the science and the philosophy working together on this one.

Yeah, it's very tricky because okay, is

Is that conscious?

Is that consciousness or is it

The behavior of an unconscious mechanism.

I mean, maybe it depends what we mean by consciousness here.

Maybe we need to really pin that down.

Uh, what I'm meaning by consciousness is subjective experience.

Your consciousness is what it's like to be you.

Feeling pain, feeling tired, seeing colour, hearing sound, all these facets of what it's like to be.
