Is consciousness just a buzzword, or is it the one true mystery we can’t ignore? In this episode, we wander through what it means to be aware—whether we’re human, animal, plant, or machine. We question how plants “feel” through electrical rhythms, whether animals and insects experience different levels of awareness, and if AI could ever simulate empathy or cross the line into genuine feeling. We reflect on drugs reshaping time and perception, the wild idea of uploading minds or waking up in another life, and ask how our sense of self changes in a world driven by technology and distraction. Along the way, we touch on global turbulence and the ways technology reshapes how we experience reality. This conversation confronts the central mystery: what is consciousness, really?
