Episode 1221
Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description
Is your mind just a complex computer made of meat, or is it something more? This episode dives headfirst into one of philosophy's greatest puzzles: Mind-Body Dualism. We'll journey from Descartes' famous "I think, therefore I am" to modern neuroscience, exploring the profound, funny, and sometimes spooky connection between our inner world of thoughts and feelings and the physical brain that houses them. Get ready to question everything you think you know about who—and what—you really are.
