,1,President Joe Biden attempted to calm the panic about the viability of his candidacy on Friday after his disastrous debate performance, telling supporters at a campaign rally in North Carolina that despite not being as young as he used to, “I know how to tell the truth.”

,1,Donald Trump revealed Wednesday he knows his vice presidential pick already, even though he wouldn’t say who it was. The former president has choice words about Chris Christie dropping out of the race earlier in the day. And he signaled again that he thinks abortion is a political liability for Republicans.
Those were among the highlights of an hourlong Fox News town hall Wednesday night moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. Trump was pressed on everything from his authoritarian rhetoric — “I am not going to be a dictator,” he declared — to millions in payments his businesses received from foreign governments during his first term.

Consciousness is the great mystery of inner awareness. Where does it exist? Humans, obviously. Animals? Which animals? Chimps, elephants, dolphins, dogs? Termites, snails, amoeba, bacteria? What about non-biological intelligences like supercomputers of the future? The question probes the deep nature of consciousness.

How to explain our inner awareness that is at once most common and most mysterious? Traditional explanations focus at the level of neuron and neuronal circuits in the brain. But little real progress has motivated some to look much deeper, into the laws of physics — information theory, quantum mechanics, even postulating new laws of physics.

Is a soul required to make a person? If there is no soul, is there no person? Almost all scientists and most philosophers find no need for a soul. Certainly, souls are not known to science. What arguments support a soul? Revelations of religions? But then souls are a matter of faith. Any philosophical theories?

How has inner experience radically emerged from cosmic dust? How has our vibrant private awareness developed in what seems to be a wholly physical universe? Is consciousness only an accident of biology? Or does consciousness have deeper meaning? We best be careful not to come to final conclusions based on early science.

Why is free will one of the hardest problems in philosophy? What are the core issues of free will and why do they seem to defy resolution? Most philosophers are pretty sure they have the answer—but their answers all differ! Some privilege external facts of the physical world; some privilege inner feelings of conscious choice. No one has a knock-down argument.

Lots of things exist. But what is so absolutely fundamental in that it cannot be further reduced into anything more fundamental, but other things that exist can be reduced to it? The challenge is to discern the minimum number of basic categories that can explain the entirety of existence.
