Can a New Scientific Revolution Explain Consciousness? | Apocalypse: A Philosophy of Angels, Ep. 6

Three Theses about the Future of Science We are living through the greatest scientific revolution in over two millennia. 2. A new revolution in biology connects to the AI revolution, and a scientific theory of consciousness may finally be on the horizon as a result. 3. Real philosophy should be scientific and thus able to make predictions. I make three predictions about the next 10 years of science.  Together, these point towards a new theory of consciousness that is philosophically profound, scientifically productive, and existentially significant.  Apocalypse: A Philosophy of Angels, Ep.6  Instructor: Dr. Samuel Loncar | Yale University
