It has expanded my thinking and changed the way I see the future of technology (Especially in terms of A.I.!). I’ve enjoyed the class discussions a lot. Hearing other student’s diverse viewpoints would bring light to angles of a scenario that I had no idea even existed! In addition, whenever we would diverge from the topic at hand, I felt as though the conversation had a way of coming back to the mechanics of qualia. When we did the discussion about what it is in meat brains that give rise to qualia, we delved into a whole conversation about the purpose of qualia. Some of the ideas discussed, included were that qualia was the byproduct of a survival instinct, and the challenge to that, of how a survival instinct wasn’t enough for something to have the same qualia as humans because human qualia is more complex than just an animal’s survival instinct. The level of thought that went into these discussions made them that much more memorable. I think that having so many curious student minds coming together to share their thoughts and perspectives on these philosophical questions is amazing. Your interest to start this program in the Humanities Circle is so great, as it helps cultivates young minds to think deeply and maturely about these topics." — Middle School Student in Puzzles about Consciousness Program.

How do our minds position our ‘selves’ relative to our own heads and bodies?
