Conversation with Neil Theise
Neil is one of our experts. In 2012, he gave us an excellent interview on complexity theory, and we've stayed in touch ever since. We do have some serious differences, however, in how we view consciousness. I am a strict materialist and he is an Idealist. This conversation began after I had revised the video I had made from Neil's interview.

I informed Neil about the changes, and this conversation happened.

No, I'm open to being wrong. If there is evidence that is powerful, I'm happy to look at it. I am quite sure that science has many more unanswered questions than it thinks. But it would be extraordinary for minds to work without brains, especially since we have a billion head injury examples of how brains and minds are intimately linked. I think I have a model which explains all of the data which I currently know. If someone has evidence that my theory cannot work, then I'm happy to see it.
