NARRATOR: (ON TV) Consciousness is perhaps the biggest riddle in nature.
Stripped to its core meaning,
consciousness is what allows us to be aware
both of our surroundings and of our own inner state.
But thinking about consciousness has this habit
-of taking us around in circles. -Oh, where'd you get that?
-(NARRATOR CONTINUES) -Oh. Yeah, I know. I fell.
Oh, I should get, um...
tissue and a plaster.
NARRATOR: But once we try to pinpoint what exactly it is,
that leaves us grasping at thin air.
Different schools and ideas compete with one another,
but no one has come close
-to figuring it out. -(DULL RINGING TONE)
It's unsettling to realize that we don't understand
what makes us aware of ourselves and the world.
In this fuzzy area, consciousness and intelligence
are also related, although they are not the same.
