Summary

Consciousness is something we can’t touch, see or even measure and yet each of us possesses it. Michael Pollan joins host Krys Boyd to explore what we do and don’t know about the mysteries of the conscious mind, the evolution of awareness, and to ponder if A.I. could ever really know its deepest self. His book is “ A World Appears: A Journey into Consciousness .” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
