Good thing is that the course is very thorough, covers many topics that I've come across studying the same subject elsewhere. The unfortunate thing is that the material feels more like a manifesto / opinion book than an unbiased course. From the get go the course states that conscience isn't explainable by science at all and then proceeds to provide "proofs" throughout the material. While some arguments are valid, some rely on people not understanding the supporting arguments enough. E.g. suggestions that AI does not understand Go or word meanings, which isn't the case. In fact, current Anthropic research on alignment is probably smth that is closest to analysis of conscience in machines, and this is only a start. Or a statement that progress in DNA sequencing did not lead to any meaningful progress. It in fact did - MRNA vaccines got created within weeks because of that, and recent news about a guy who got a cancer vaccine for his dog using DNA sequence, ChatGPT & AlphaFold. Also, it'd be great to separate videos into smaller parts, e.g. 10-15 minutes instead of 30+.

Instructor Bio

Marco Masi (born 1965) attended the German School of Milan, Italy. He graduated in physics at the University of Padua, and later obtained a Ph.D. in physics at the University of Trento. He worked as a postdoc in universities in Italy, France, and Germany, and as a school teacher for three years. After he had authored several scientific papers (see ResearchGate) his interests veered towards philosophical and metaphysical questions that led him to the vision of Sri Aurobindo. He also wrote a two-volume series on quantum physics entitled “Quantum Physics: An Overview of a Weird World”, which tries to close a gap between the too high-level university textbooks and a too low-level popular science approach.  He is also interested in new forms of individual learning and a new concept of free progress education originated from his activity both as a tutor in several universities and as a high school teacher, but especially from his direct, lived experience of what education should not be. This led him to author a book on ”Free progress Education”. He loves walking in the woods, loves animals (and would never kill a cat to carry out Schrödinger's experiment).
