Consciousness as a State of Matter (2015)
From my really ignorant, but introspective, point of view, this notion that life and consciousness somewhat escape from the physical rules that govern rocks, air and the rest of the universe seems like holding onto the theist idea of soul after the decline of religion.<p>I think the universe doesn&#x27;t care about us, we are just the natural result of the fundamental interactions of matter, the same interactions that burn stars. We are complex automatons.
