Self-AssemblyEpisode 13 - Self-Selections #01We're trying something new today friends!
We're taking a solo exploration into the inner fabric off my own mind! A frightening prospect indeed.
On our very first "Self-Selection," I'm ranting and rambling about the greatest mystery of life...consciousness! What is it? Where does it come from? And what does the nature of it mean for how we live our day-to-day lives? We're covering all that and more on this very exciting (and much shorter) episode! Please enjoy.
