After only 6 hours of being posted at TED.com, John Searle's TEDxCERN talk has been seen by more than 30,000 people!

John describes how "consciousness is the most important aspect of our lives and yet a neglected subject in our scientific and philosophical culture". He goes further to say that, "[Consciousness] is the most important aspect of our lives... It's a necessary condition to anything being important in our lives. If you care about science, philosophy, music, art, whatever, it's no good if you are a zombie or in a coma."
