I find most of these consciousness discussions not very enlightening - too many ill defined terms and not enough definite content. I thought Geoffrey Hinton in discussion with Jon Stewart was good though. That discussion from https://youtu.be/jrK3PsD3APk?t=4584 https://youtu.be/jrK3PsD3APk?t=4584 for a few minutes.
