Consciousness & cognition Videos Recommended on Hacker News (60)
Consciousness & cognition is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 60 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2009 and 2026 — 164 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Mind and consciousness: theories of consciousness, free will, intelligence, artificial minds, Penrose, Dennett, cognitive science, perception illusions, qualia, hemispheric brain theories.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on George Lakoff: Moral Politics: “Changed how I listen - to anyone - forever.” — an HN commenter, 2021.
