A few weeks ago, I uploaded my books - Clarity and Results - to an AI assistant, made an assertion about the three principles and consciousness, and started a debate about the principles of psychology. At a certain point, the AI stopped and said: "I think you've just created a logical refutation of materialism."

That conversation inspired me to write a philosophy paper - which I've just submitted to the journal Mind, published by Oxford University Press. It's called The Bag Cannot Contain Itself.

In this clip, Andrea asks me what that means - and I do my best to explain Russell's Paradox, consciousness, and why the bag can never contain itself, in plain English.

Big love, Jamie

P.S. If you want to read the paper, we've got a link to it on a pre-print site. Fair warning - it's written for a philosophy journal, so maybe not a beach read :)
