i find it very hard to imagine if we if somebody claimed to have a a good theory of consciousness and i 00:29:43 were to ask them okay well what is the prediction of your theory in this particular case i don't know what the format of the answer looks like because numbers and the typical things we get don't do the trick they you know they're sort of third person descriptions

- Michael does not know what the format of the answer to the hard problem would be
- Attempting to explain the experience of consciousness begs the question
- what is explanation?
- The explanation often attempts to rely on measurable 3rd party observations and the scientific theories and models behind those observations
- However, as Michel Bitbol points out, the models themselves emerge from the same awareness of consciousness
- In spiritual teachings, it is often claimed that the observer is actually an expression of the universe that see's itself
- Seeing itself - what does this mean in scientific terms? Could it mean resonance, like the kind used by musicians to tune string instruments like guitars?
- Do all the patterns that we sense become sensible precisely because they are all an intrinsic part of us, and vice versa?

we were once just physics all 00:02:27 of us were not just in an evolutionary sense but really in a developmental sense and you can watch it happen in front of your eyes so from that perspective i think developmental biology is is uh you know it's why i switched from doing computation in in sort of silicon medium to computation 00:02:40 and living media but i am fundamentally interested not just in questions of cells and why they do things but in morphogenesis or or pattern formation as an example of the appearance of mind from matter that's really right to me developmental biology is the most 00:02:53 magical process there is because it literally in front of your eyes takes you from from matter to mind you can see it happen
