Debate with Sean Carroll
This was a heated but good spirited debate on 'Is Consciousness Fundamental?' I love that Sean takes philosophy seriously and engages in good faith.

Philip Pullman and I had a public discussion on consciousness, panpsychism, and the philosophy of His Dark Materials at Blackwell's bookshop in Oxford.

The Mystery of Consciousness
This was a debate/discussion I had in my home town of Liverpool with philosopher Laura Gow, neuroscientist Anil Seth, and former archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.
Unravelling the Mind
This was a fantastic night debating to a packed audience in New York. Fellow panelists Rebecca Goldstein and Ned Block.
God or a Conscious Universe?
In this discussion with leading theologian Josh Rasmussen, I argue that a conscious universe is more likely than the traditional God. Josh is such an open-minded and interesting thinker. It was great to chat to him.
Does Consciousness Point to God?
This is a debate I had recently with Christian neuroscientist Sharon Dirckx (actually, we only debate God in the last 10 mins).
