David Chalmers on why consciousness is science's greatest unsolved problem: Science has mapped subatomic particles, distant stars, the chemistry of life yet it remains almost completely silent on the one thing we know most directly: our own conscious experience. In a rare early interview, philosopher David Chalmers explains why: "Consciousness is at once the most familiar thing in the world and the most mysterious. Consciousness is what we start with when it comes to knowing the world. I know that I exist. I know that I'm conscious. Everything else is secondary." And yet, despite this intimacy, consciousness sticks out like a sore thumb in the scientific picture. Chalmers points to a deep irony: science has made extraordinary progress on phenomena that are extraordinarily remote: subatomic particles, distant galaxies, the molecular machinery of biology while making almost no progress on the one thing closest to us. Why? Because science, by design, eliminates the subjective. "To do proper science, you have to be objective. You have to eliminate anything subjective from the picture." He uses heat as the perfect example. Physics gives us a complete account of heat molecules in motion, energy transfer, temperature gradients. It explains every objective aspect of the phenomenon. But it never explains what hotness actually feels like. "Science doesn't actually give a theory of the conscious feeling of hotness." This is what Chalmers calls the Hard Problem of Consciousness. You can trace every neural signal from your heat sensor along your nerves into your brain and still have explained nothing about the subjective experience of feeling warm. As interviewer Jeffrey Mishlove puts it: you can't even do science without a conscious mind to observe, interpret, and make meaning of data. Consciousness is the precondition for science itself and yet science has no framework to account for it. Chalmers' conclusion is striking: The methods of science may need to be expanded. Consciousness might not be something science explains away. It might be something science has to learn to start with.

BREAKING IN WASHINGTON: Dr. Fauci tells Congress he had to contradict President Trump on the podium because he felt it was his responsibility to tell the American people the truth, to tell them about what science actually said. He was responding to a leading question by Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz (Jared Moskowitz). WATCH Question: Dr. Fauci, you talked about how we live in partisan times. A lot of misinformation and colleagues on this body said you should be charged and found guilty. Of course, the only one that's happened to is your former boss. But the question I have is when you saw a lot of that disinformation, whether it was we can use a disinfectant to do like a cleaning or do light in the body, or that China is working super hard, President Xi's got it contained. All of this stuff that was being put out, were you concerned? What was your feeling at that time working in the administration, seeing that come from the podium? Answer: Well, I was very frustrated by that. It was very clear I was put in a very difficult position that I didn't like of having to contradict publicly the president of the United States. I took no great pleasure in that, but I felt it was my responsibility to preserve. Question: He must have thought you did a great job. He gave you a commendation right before he left. Answer: Well, I felt it was my responsibility, you know, as to preserve my own personal integrity and my major responsibility to the American public to tell them the truth. And if I could just take this opportunity. When I was saying that if you attack me, you attack science, I didn't mean that I am science. What I meant was that when the data show that hydroxychloroquine does not work and there are people saying, oh, it does, I'll give it to people, and we know it can be hurtful to them, then when you're attacking what I'm saying, that the science shows it doesn't work and the science shows that bleach doesn't work, that when you attack that you really are attacking science because science has shown that it doesn't work. That's what I meant when you attack me, you're attacking science. Response: Thank you, doctor. Thank you, mister chairman. I yield back, time's expired. Now recognize Mister Jordan from...

You Mark Zuckerberg and Meta interfered with research by stopping the recruitment of my protocols. This SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN. Interference in research affected everyone. I was shadow-banned and censored. I was told I was spreading MISINFORMATION by your fact checkers who NEVER TOUCHED A PATIENT DURING COVID-19. STEP into my lab ProgenaBiome and see the thousands I treated and lost NO ONE. See all the 💩we analyzed. See all the hundreds of conferences I spoke at including being a keynote speaker at American College of Cardiology and a speaker at National Institute of Standards and Technology. See who is on my biome squad from all academic centers. See who co-wrote the book Let's Talk Sh!t. See who is on my papers as co-authors. See who spoke at the Malibu Microbiome meeting. See my testimony in front of Congress. Speak to my clientele in Malibu. Speak to hundreds of Pharma companies I did trials for and see the hundreds of drugs I helped bring to market including recently a celiac sprue drug. Talk to all the VCs who have consulted me at Coleman Research and got my opinion on new drugs. Did I spread misinformation or EARLY INFORMATION? Your company interfered with research and people died. It’s time for corrective actions. Interference with research affects EVERYONE and will affect you one day as well. No one escapes disease. Interference in research kills science and kills hope. This is NOT SOMETHING that will be excused by your words. Science is a story untold. Science NEEDS to be challenged and questioned. There are no right or wrong answers in science. #PROVEMEWRONG IS SCIENCE. Science guides medicine but should NEVER DICTATE MEDICINE. The practice of Medicine takes courage and is very much an art where innovations happen. To discourage that art, those innovations by a narrative pushing the price of a stock is to kill Medicine and hope. NO I DO NOT ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY. Words are lame… ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
