πŸ“ Description

In 'Soul Dust,' Nick Humphrey delves into the evolutionary origins and adaptive purpose of consciousness, proposing that it is not merely an incidental byproduct of brain activity but a crucial trait that enhances our ability to navigate the complex social world and find meaning in life. He explores how consciousness might have evolved to serve a specific function in human development. Humphrey challenges conventional views, arguing that our subjective experience of 'soul dust' is a powerful tool for understanding ourselves and others, ultimately contributing to our survival and flourishing within social structures.
