They’ve been used throughout history by philosophers and other thinkers to explore our intuitions and ways of reasoning, to find solutions to problems, and to expand our knowledge of ourselves and the world. In these 24 eye-opening lectures, Professor Breyer takes you deeply into the historical tradition of thought experiments, shining a light on both the purpose and the outcomes of these compelling mental voyages.

The Absent Qualia Thought Experiment by Paul Kell explores one of the most unsettling questions in philosophy: can a being act fully conscious yet feel nothing inside? This puzzle, known as the absent qualia problem, challenges our understanding of mind, science, and identity. At its heart is the idea of the “hollow machine,” a being that smiles, speaks, and remembers but lacks the inner glow of experience. The question forces us to confront whether consciousness can ever be reduced to function alone or if something vital is missing.

Human history is the story of symbols turning against their makers. Myths, laws, identities, each begins as a tool for survival, coherence, and meaning. But every symbol hardens. Every order closes. And when the lock tightens too far, collapse follows. The only thing that has ever broken the cycle is rupture. Visionaries, mystics, rebels, and neurodivergent minds have stepped outside the circle, cracked the mirror, and forced reality back in. Without them, every civilization would have suffocated in its own stories. Today, the lock-in is digital and global.
