This interview with me was hosted by Dr Tony Nader on his wonderful podcast "Consciousness Is All There Is" where we discussed the various pros and cons of different theories of consciousness.

Special thanks to Dr Nader for allowing me to repost this wonderful discussion. It was recorded a year ago, and many of my views have changed (slightly) since then, however I believe it is still worth the watch/listen. Enjoy!
