Think with Krys Boyd

Think with Krys Boyd: Your guide to consciousness

3/16/2026 | 54m 30s

Author Michael Pollan explores how much we know about the mysteries of the conscious mind.

We often say that something has “a mind of its own,” but exactly is the consciousness we’re referring to? Michael Pollan, author and both a Guggenheim and Radcliffe Fellow, joins host Krys Boyd to explore what we know about the mysteries of the conscious mind, the evolution of awareness, and ponder if A.I. could ever really know its deepest self.
