tl;dr

"Revolutionary change"? Buy his book to find out.

This is a typical publishers interview leaning hard into the author's babbling about consciousness (If something tells you it's conscious do you believe it? Yes.) and AI (experts told him it isn't going to get conscious no matter what it says) and psychedelics (he's too busy to explore psychedelics, what with all his book tour appearances).

No theories, no science, no insights, just pseudo intellectual navel gazing to make a publisher's payday.

Typical nyt telling readers what to think
