    Jan 29 2025

    🧠 welcome the penultimate episode of season 4 of the @SoCulturedPodcast ! This season is all about discovering science through the lens of history, and in today’s episode we are delving into the origins of Consciousness!

    ❓What is consciousness? How did it evolve? Are animals conscious? Why haven’t we evolved to think logically like computers? Is AI conscious? Could we be living in a simulation? We’re exploring it all today! 🕶️

    😳We are also bringing you a listener story telling us all about a ‘friend’ who stole her entire research idea for her third year project! How did this happen? What would we do? We discuss it all!
