We live in the world of phenomena, so everything is perception. I assume it would be one long persistent hallucination, just like life.

If you want to hear some interesting ideas when consciousness, listens to an anaesthesiologist.

what has me interested, is how quantum particles react to consciousness. it's pretty out there, but it makes me feel that consciousness is in some way intrinsically linked to reality. I feel like there's a possibility that consciousness may be a quantum field in some way. I don't know, maybe it's all bullshit

In the video game Pillars of Eternity, the gods were created in a genocide event where billions of mortal souls were condensed into a dozen bodies

An instance I have in my personal life that makes me believe in some form of reincarnation is one of my oldest memories that i assume is from a dream. It's of me in what looks to be a market of some sort, Islamic architecture all around, and I heard the call to prayer. I must have been 3 or 4 at that point, born in 1996, raised as a baptist, so it stuck with me all my life that I would experience something like that. I also distinctly remember hearing the Arabic violin in the dream. Both that and the call to prayer I did not hear again until I was around 18, I heard it again when I went to college and saw an Arab student playing their traditional violin.

Just bc time is relative, doesn't mean it doesn't exist

Omerta 2 tymes

At this point people could either see God float down from heaven and crazy fashion or his viscerated husk in front of them and they just be like oh well what are you going to talk about it forever move on my whole existence is pointless move on woke

So Paul, I’m a software engineer. You’re incorrect about the exponential expansion of computing power. There was historically a phenomenon described as Moore’s law where it was observed that computer chips were doubling their transistor count every ~2 years. This has slowed and further advancement of this is difficult because the physical properties of our universe make the development of more compact chips almost impossible due to quantum tunneling (and other factors). So you can’t increase density but you can increase quantity, however then you run into space and resource constraints as well all sorts of operating system constraints like how to manage an ever growing amount of memory in synchronicity which does not scale with our current computer systems. For example, look how huge and resource intensive the data centers need to be just to run Chat GPT. One potential way to circumnavigate this issue is through Quantum Computers, which have properties that allow them to more accurately simulate certain aspects of the universe. However, Quantum computers can’t be programmed like normal computers. There are only certain algorithms that work on those devices (even theoretically speaking). Practically we have not yet been able to make a quantum computer of reasonable scale but I’ll grant you that this may eventually happen given enough time and scientific discovery. Even if it did, however, again you run into the resource constraint issue, where so much computing power is required to even simulate something like one electron, much less the intricacies of other subatomic particles that are part of the standard model (quarks, leptons, Higgs boson, etc.) and then to simulate them in concert with one another at a universal (or even multiverse) scale is extremely impractical. And it’s not something that can be fixed with advanced technology, since you need many particles to simulate even 1 particle, it would make universal simulation only possible at an extremely microscopic scale compared to the complexity of the parent universe, which would mean our universe would be so physically different and simplistic that it’s almost not even worth simulating (hence defeating the desire to craft infinite of these simulations). The only way you could defend this is to just argue the unfalsifiable hypothesis (and unsupported by current technological trajectory which has shown a significantly flattened curve of progress) that technology will become infinitely capable, which I don’t agree with.

This is one of the best episodes you've ever done. I really hope you guys to a part 2 as you give some really good insights into these topics

I have a similar experience. My earliest memory is of a vast desert with Roman architecture. The moon and stars were vibrant over sandy hills, and I walked through large wooden doors lit by torches. There were men in robes drinking from chalices and eating bread together, and talking in another language. Obviously, this could have been a very early dream, or a fragment of something I saw on TV, mistaken as a memory. But reading The Star Rover by Jack London, I felt an odd sympathy to the narrator's descriptions of their childhood memories of other lives.

It's actually not consciousness that makes quantum systems collapse, but any disruption to the quantum system. That's why they say "observation" makes the slit experiment behave differently. It doesn't know or care that a conscious being is observing it, but rather, the means necessary to observe the experiment in any way causes the wave function to collapse and behave differently

Never been any verifiable proof of out of body experiences while or after death and coming back. One study was done for decades and no one ever read what was on a elevated piece of paper that only a person who was outside the body could have read and other tests as well. Stories about someone knowing things while dead or dieing outside a room that are hard to get right are just stories. I hope there is something good after life as an atheist but it doesn't look like it and that's fine too.

FYI: The novel "Loop" by Koji Suzuki came out one year before "The Matrix" and deals with the simulation hypothesis. ("Loop" is the third book of the original "Ring"-trilogy, which as a whole is sooo much weirder than you might think.)

Read Hegel on "here" and "now". He elucidates that here, and there, now, and then, are intertwined.
