Talking about consciousness baby! In this one I cover some stuff:

• What is the hard problem?
• What are some weak ass common responses to the hard problem, focussing specifically on the computational theory of mind (CTM).
• Implications of CTM.
• Criticisms of CTM
• What else might be going on?
• And why the real winning move is not to play.

ENJOYEEEEEE
