Love your podcast Robert. What frustrates me when people talk about consciousness is that no-one considers what is involved when we understand something. Too understand how something happens we stand back from the situation or mechanism and observe from outside it. But we only have access to our own consciousness and we can’t stand outside it. So even if the world is materialist, we well never be able to comprehend how consciousness can come out of it. Please keeps up the great work. Steven
