Why is there something it feels like to be you?
Why isn’t the brain just a silent machine, processing information in the dark?

In this 2-hour long-form video, we slowly explore every major philosophical argument about consciousness, from Descartes’ soul to modern panpsychism, from behaviorism to AI minds. It’s written in a calm, narrative style designed both for deep thinking and falling asleep to.

We move through the history of ideas, introducing the key philosophers, thought experiments, and arguments that have shaped the modern mind–body debate. No prior background in philosophy is required – everything is explained from scratch, with a focus on the psychological and existential stakes.
