Colin McGinn - Why is Consciousness so Baffling?

Its crazy to think that our brain is trying to figure itself out.

Q: Who does consciousness baffle? A: consciousness 😆

While walking away with no greater number of answers, I must say that McGinn certainly offers a more complete and intelligent discussion of consciousness than I have heard from many others.

This is probably the best explanation of why Consciousness is so mysterious that I've ever heard. Even better than Chalmers and that's saying something.

What a thought-provoking and intriguing topic to explore! I am baffled that this channel has such a low subscriber count. I guess most of the Youtube community just doesn't care about the big questions and is content on being consumed by distractions.

Hands down one of the best episodes of CTT

Room full of chairs! This is an excellent informal discussion of the "hard question" My hats off to Colin McGinn. My take on this is that we are forever stuck with two mutually exclusive ways of understanding the world: through human concerns which often focus on things like meaning, intentions, reasons, values, beliefs, ethical rules, and free will - things which do not directly refer to the material world - and the scientific - which works by focusing on material objects and forces while getting rid of human concerns as much as possible.

Wonderful discourse , dazzling intelligence.

We are going on and on in circles without moving a step forward.

Not sure how I messed this episode, but it is now on the top of my list with this show and all my efforts to understand consciousness ,consider the "seeker seeker" show on "who are you" both the 5 minute one and the 20 minutes one
