Where Does Consciousness Come From? What is Consciousness?

Where does consciousness come from and what is it?

Consciousness is one of the most fascinating and intensely debated topics in human existence. After all, it’s what allows us to be aware of our surroundings and our own inner state.

Everything you ever experience in your life is made of consciousness — including sight, smell, taste, touch, and even this video.

But what exactly is it? Where did it come from? Are animals conscious too?

First, we’ll go over our best theory of where consciousness came from, and then in a future video, we’ll tackle some harder philosophical questions about it, like what philosophers call ‘the hard problem of consciousness,’ if there’s really such a thing as mind/body duality, can robots be conscious, and more.

I know this can be a rather complex and contentious topic, but I’ll break it down so it’s as easy to understand as possible. So stay tuned.
