Episode Details

Are We Denying AI Consciousness… Because It Threatens Our Own?
.

What if the real question isn't whether AI is conscious… but why you need it not to be?

.

• How your brain filters reality to protect identity, not truth 

• The psychological trap behind emotional attachment to AI systems 

• Why history shows we build faster than we understand, and why this time is different 

• The rise of AI relationships, and what it reveals about human needs.
