My next video will be an interesting change in pace; I'm going to talk about the untapped potential of exploring consciousness in film. I guess this will be my first video that could be considered a critique, as it discusses what is missing instead of what is present, although it's definitely going to be a constructive one that will hopefully deepen your understanding of the subject. I plan to include a variety of films like Ex Machina, Blade Runner 2049, Chappie, Her and Arrival - all of which deal with explorations of other minds and together form an pretty neat reflection of the progress and shortcomings of the cognitive sciences.

Can’t wait! I would also think the Matrix could be a subject in and of itself that explores consciousness from a variety of perspectives (spiritual, psychological, etc.).

Definitely! Although, as you said, that would be subject in and of itself. In this video I'm specifically focusing on the problem of other minds such as A.I.'s, aliens and animals.

Sounds great. Can't wait to see this new approach.

You just listed 6 mind-expanding films I love discussing; really looking forward to your take on them (and it--consciousness!).
