Description

What would it take for consciousness to defeat materialism or physicalism? This is the worldview that only the physical is real, which is the dominant view of scientists and philosophers. Here's what it would take: our inner awareness, our experience of what things feel like, could not be explained by physical brain alone That's it. A tall order, though.

It’s not only the guests that make CTT so good, its the questions Robert asks of his guests that furthers the discussion regardless of the topic.

Truth is not a compromise. How would that even work? Once again, good job Robert.

CTT is a true diamond in the rough. I have yet to watch an episode that was not both enlightening and engaging. Please continue your important work.
