Here's an interesting discussion about the limits of our understanding, starting from Godel's incompleteness theorem and branching into various tangential topics:
Consciousness is also discussed and as usual (and sadly), the speakers seem to be have a pretty rudimental understanding of the problem, which is disappointing for philosophers and people that contemplate ultimate questions.
But hey... our understanding has limits, no doubt :)
Panelists are:
» Gregory Chaitin, mathematician
» Rebecca Goldstein ,philosopher
» Mario Livio, astrophisicist
» Marvin Minsky, cognitive scientist
