Anton Kuznetsov on the Problem of Other Minds

15 May, 2026

The episode discusses one of the central problems in the philosophy of consciousness: the problem of other minds — how we can understand whether anyone besides ourselves has consciousness at all.

The conversation moves through key issues in contemporary philosophy of mind: how consciousness differs from intelligence, whether subjective experience can be tested, how reliable behavioral indicators such as the mirror test are, and where the boundary between the conscious and the non-conscious lies. The episode also discusses animal consciousness, the prospects of conscious AI, agency, free will, and cultural changes that are already shaping how we answer these questions.
