Rich delves into the essence of Consciousness, questioning why the universe, devoid of consciousness, gives rise to conscious experiences. Anil Seth, a prominent figure in the exploration of Consciousness, embarks on a journey in his groundbreaking audio documentary series "Lights On" to challenge the conventional understanding of Consciousness.

He emphasizes the importance of defining terms when discussing Consciousness, shedding light on the elusive nature of felt experiences.
The hard problem of Consciousness, a perplexing conundrum in neuroscience, puzzles researchers as they struggle to explain why matter exhibits conscious experiences.

Their conversation delves into the infinite possibilities within the multiverse, resonating with the intriguing concepts of quantum mechanics and the many-world interpretation.
