"I think that critical thinking, especially in our day and age, it's probably one of the most important mechanisms that we should endow children with: not to accept things as they are. Especially, not to accept things as they seem in social media. Always question not only others but also oneself and try to take the other perspective, try to question your beliefs. Ask yourself how many of those beliefs are genuine and how many have been shaped by past experiences, by manipulations, and so on. And I think that if we can build a society with critical thinkers, self-doubters, and modest people, then we would live in a better place. And I can only hope this message is heard."

How we think, feel, and experience the world is a mystery. What distinguishes our consciousness from AI and machine learning?

Liad Mudrik studies high level cognition and its neural substrates, focusing on conscious experience. She teaches at the School of Psychological Sciences at Tel Aviv University. At her research lab, her team is currently investigating the functionality of consciousness, trying to unravel the depth and limits of unconscious processing, and also researching the ways semantic relations between concepts and objects are formed and detected.
