Three Theses about the Future of Science

  1. We are living through the greatest scientific revolution in over two millennia.
  2. 2. A new revolution in biology connects to the AI revolution, and a scientific theory of consciousness may finally be on the horizon as a result.
  3. 3. Real philosophy should be scientific and thus able to make predictions. I make three predictions about the next 10 years of science. 

Together, these point towards a new theory of consciousness that is philosophically profound, scientifically productive, and existentially significant.
