Michael Pollan: Social Media Sold Our Attention. We Are Now Less Conscious

Season 2026 Episode 8143 | 18m 03s

The rise of AI has raised probing questions about human consciousness and what it means to feel. The celebrated, best-selling author Michael Pollan has written books that challenge our understanding of food and drugs. Now Pollan turns his attention to our sense of self, and what it is that really makes us human. It's all in his new book, "A World Appears: A Journey Into Consciousness."
