David discusses the complexities of consciousness and how our understanding may be flawed, likening it to folk physics—simplistic models that don't capture the full reality. The conversation highlights the discrepancies in definitions of consciousness and the emerging scientific framework that, while still in its infancy, offers a foundation for future exploration. Insights into phenomena like blindsight illustrate the nuanced relationship between consciousness and perception, suggesting that a comprehensive theory may take decades to develop.In this clip
