Pseudo-science and anti-science

“Unfortunately, the show makes claims and says that they are backed up by evidence. Specifically the claim is that the brain “receives” consciousness like a radio(they use a whirlpool metaphor throughout, all brains are whirlpools Connected to a bigger stream). The hosts then will tout that there is evidence for this but really fails to deliver. Much time is spent attacking mainstream scientific thought.
So if you like the following:
-appeals to authority
-strawmanning
-anecdotal “evidence”
-you want to believe all consciousness is connected
This is the podcast for you!
If he had made the claim and them immediately backed it up with concrete evidence and studies, I’d be open to the thesis but there is so much dancing about, and such shallow discussion of actual studies, I found the arguments unconvincing.
Instead much time was spent talking about how if you challenge mainstream thought you’ll lose your job, most scientists are too ambitious to “see the truth”, etc. Its like watching a youtube series on flat earth theories. There is enough talk of conspiracy while also sounding authoritative and “good faith evidence” to make it sound legit, but when you really examine the claims and arguments it falls completely flat.
Not a good podcast to listen to if you actually want to hear about the state of understanding around the hard problem of consciousness.”
