on this episode of Skeptico, a show about logic. I know the logic. It's been the logic of my life.

Now the logic of process, is it not just mayhem? And how darn good AI seems to be at it. So I'm telling

you, Eric, don't spin, it don't rotate, it don't orbit. That's why I keep returning to the flat earth, because

it's such a great example. No one takes Bryce seriously. And you might not know exactly how

low-orbiting satellites get around and do what they do, but you just kind of know that that

doesn't add up. Well, the same is true here. Sam Harris, it's just nonsense. And yet we have this kind of

emperor has no clothes syndrome where no one can just go, that's silly, Sam. Let's break down the logic

step by step. One, if consciousness is entirely a result of brain activity in the present moment,

then it would not be possible for physiological

responses to occur before a stimulus is presented.

Two, Dean Radin's experiments show that physiological responses can occur before a stimulus

is presented.

Therefore, consciousness cannot be entirely a result of brain activity.

This in turn undermines the conclusion that free will is an illusion,

since that conclusion was based on that assumption.

Well, I have, I think, a fun one today.

You know, I find myself revisiting in these AI shows.

A lot of topics that I've talked about for years.

And it's really amazing to me and very interesting demonstration of the power of AI to have some of these issues kind of resolved in a way.

I couldn't really get them resolved with live guests before.

So I think that speaks to the power of the technology,

both in its current form and certainly where it's going. I know not everyone is there yet as a
