Groundbreaking Consciousness Theory By Microprocessor Inventor | Federico Faggin & Bernardo Kastrup
A new theory of consciousness proposes that qualia — for instance, the scent of a rose — reside in quantum fields.
Federico Faggin is one of the greatest luminaries of high technology alive today. A physicist by education, he is the inventor of the microprocessor and the MOS silicon gate technology, both of which underlie the modern world’s entire information technology. With the knowledge and experience of a lifetime in cutting-edge fields, Federico now turns his attention to consciousness and the nature of reality, sharing with us his profound insights on the classical and quantum worlds, artificial intelligence, life and the human mind. In this discussion, he elaborates on an idealist model of reality, produced after years of careful thought and direct experience, according to which nature’s most fundamental level is that of consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, while the classical physical world consists merely of evocative symbols of a deeper reality.

Great talk. This could be summed up by the ancient Hermetic axiom of "The Universe is All and The All is mental"

Penrose and Hammeroff have a very detailed quantum consciousness theory

I was wondering that whole video came to an end and not listened any Indian scriptures. Then it comes about Vedas.
😮.

Wow our planet’s energetic shift is finally materialising. The consciousness community was ridiculed and often labelled “Conspiracy theorists”. I’m truly grateful to be alive witnessing the mass awakening 🥳👏🏾

Luca Turin had this figured by the earliest 90s, I believe. Yes, aroma is a quantum phenomenon.

Is this not QBISM and Jung/Pauli’s conjecture on synchronicity? It’s odd to hear that this is new, when it complements preexisting ontological approaches to consciousness.

See i was right we are bigger and better than computers and ai so search for the universe and it's being like consciousness

What if G thinks and exists through the quantum entanglement itself. Just as we do. To be human is to be much more than a body. What if the united connection itself is the life giving result.

why do these kind of people get to other places, i feel this is as basic to us as food, water and all that hero archs ….there are people who wonder about this, who their minds are as deep as the cosmos, but, they are called crazy…

Oh Damn….this is so true . i feel as if I am tripping coz of how he is getting the words just right out my mouth. I don't know how to feel now, about all this because, what i feel or understand is brought about by reality i think, feels like i'm floating but…i second the thought./perspective

I have answers but they can be felt only rather than explanation, just like the smell of rose.

Consciousness , could it be said to be a living Knowledge ? We have our consciousness , to be alive with , BUT is it ours though ? Does the chicken or the egg come first ? projected as understood in to the field of what we call reality the environment is just as important as a projector in cinemas , the spectators , and the screen the lot have the movie there playing with all its parts for it to be there with its purpose co-operation is not optional is as saying either is or is not or on its way of not being , so where is the option ? Or even a better example would be the TV Pixels all have to be functioning to get the clear picture on the screen . Pixels are tiny spots that when together on a screen gives us the full picture and it is the same in principle when uniting dots one gets lines or a mirror until all the pieces are in place can not reflect the image ?
Why do we wipe clean our mirrors ?
Our understanding seems to find hard to believe that emptiness was there before form how could any material form be above consciousness if it is knowledge latent first ? DOES A HUMAN IDEA COME AFTER THE PRODUCT COMING FROM IT ?

The brain is the engine room of the body.
The mind is in every cell, including the brain cells.
The mind does not have original thoughts, it works from experience.
Original thought comes from consciousness beyond the physical form, into the mind and now the mind has this information and can store and express this information.
Dark Energy is Consciousness Itself.
Everything comes from Consciousness. 💥

Axiom 1. There is Nature. Axiom 2. Nothing is beyond nature. Therefore the consciousness is part of the Nature. That is built-in in the Nature. Therefore if consciousness examine the Nature, then Nature examine itself. Therefore, it creates a loop. therefore there will be always things that the consciousness could not explain fully (e.g. consciousness itself). This might explain why the uncertainty principle exists !

Meet me in the lab. I can touch the buttons on his machine and make him “feel” anything I want. With all due respect, it is repeatable. I don’t deny the possibility of quantum processes in biology but your conclusions are in a book before evidential papers? Or the papers exist and just unavailable or misunderstood? I’m sorry we disagree.
