Leading psychologist: Your Mind Isn't One - it's Many | Jonathan Schooler

In this episode: We sit down with Jonathan Schooler—top 100 cognitive scientist, consciousness researcher, and OG mind explorer—to unpack one of the most provocative theories of self-awareness: Nested Observer Windows. What if your mind isn’t a single stream of thought… but a mosaic of smaller minds, each with its own experience? We go deep on why you forget what you read, how verbalizing a memory can destroy it, and whether your tongue might have a consciousness of its own. Plus: psychedelics, mind wandering, AI, and what happens when the tulpa inside your head wakes up.
