The Most Disturbing Theory About Reality Scientists Refuse To Discuss
When you strip it down, life is matter that solves problems. Cells solve the problem of staying alive. Organisms solve the problem of surviving in their environments. Societies solve the problem of organizing millions of individuals. Intelligence, whether natural or artificial, is just another level of that same process. But consciousness adds something extra. It doesn’t just solve problems; it reflects on them. It asks why.

If the universe is using most people to try to do "calculations", that could explain why the universe is such a haphazard place.

interesting. Unfortunately, I don't think the universe cares. I think that life, is an accident of the universe and consciousness is another accident of life and neither carries any meaning beyond itself. And anything else is just wishful thinking. Well, here's to continued wishing. 🍺

A tree can exist without a forest but a forest without individual trees? We exist like the cancer that finds as host within us. Maybe we are a cancer to our host. Hopefully we won’t kill our host in believing we know better than what gave us life. 29:19

We’ve been given life by a living universe. Imagine what we can never experience that a greater consciousness can. We are conscious beings but consciousness simply IS. We aren’t necessary to the universe but would not exist without the life and consciousness we were given by what IS life beyond our understanding. 26:58

One galaxy would be nothing if the individual objects that make up a galaxy left. Comparing humans to flocks of birds is to expect obedience and compliance. Thanks but I am an individual living in a population which would not exist without the individuals that make up the population. I however know that I exist without or without the population as would every individual within the population. We’d do well to remember individuality otherwise it’s manufactured control as opposed to a flock of birds which EVOLVED to fly as one flock. We’ve evolved beyond follow the leader and are manipulated into believing the strength lies in the group. But what is a group with no individuals contributing their strength to the group? A flock without flight. We are all equal but we are not the same. A world full of me would still be struggling with fire and nobody to think outside the flock adding strength to my weakness and vice versa? End of humanity. We each bring something to the table other than another person to obey group commands and blindly follow orders without contributing anything other than compliance 19:20

For years, I kept searching for a way of manifesting that actually made sense to me. Then I randomly found Vera Hart’s archetype quiz and filled it out out of curiosity. The result described me almost perfectly, and I’ve looked at manifesting completely differently ever since. I’d recommend it to anyone who feels like they’ve hit a wall.

Not sure about the assessment of our "AI" systems (GPT, etc.) here. Saying that it doesn't really know what a dog is has no basis. By what metric? Saying it doesn't have a lived experience is not relevant either. I've not lived with a kangaroo, but I'm pretty sure I know what it is.
The "look-up" argument also falls short. When GPT responds, it doesn't have to look anything up. It doesn't have a bunch of reference material that it has to read and comprehend before answering. It operates much like a human does; it was given initial training, which sets associations between words. Once trained, it just puts the words together as a function of statistical likelihood, though the resultant function that actually does this is not fully understood by anyone. Sound familiar? Yeah, kind-of like our brains.
This ignorant reduction of GPT is not helping to win the argument here; best drop it or do more research. I'm a bit annoyed that some science communicators don't appreciate what we've stumbled upon here. GPT is not true AGI, but it is certainly ridiculously amazing. The fact that we don't understand exactly how it does what it does, and had no idea that it could even read or write code before someone asked it. There is so much complexity with GPT now that it should be included as an example of emergent behavior, not discounted.
Well I just wasted 20 minutes.

Consciousness is the state of being awake and aware of your surroundings, thoughts, feelings, and existence. It encompasses your subjective, personal experiences and the continuous stream of your perceptions.

Thinking is a part of memory. Without any memories, we wouldn't have any thinking. We feel like we're in control of thinking. We don't process thinking and ideas like a computer. If we did, we would know our next thought or idea. We don't say I processed an idea. We say I got an idea as though we received it.
Sometimes we flat out have thinking we didn't want. Sometimes, thinking races away to the point that we're not so aware of our surroundings. We can't shut off thinking. In meditation, the best we can do is just observe thinking tuning it out like tuning out crickets, birds, cicadas, machinery… achieving the state of mindfulness that reflects like a lake reflecting geese but not absorbing.
Thinking doesn't stop when we sleep. We don't feel like we're in control of thinking in dreams. We can lucid dream and feel like we have some control in the dream. Who's thinking are we thinking in? There's a nature in theuniverse, cut a hologram into little pieces and look at one little piece through a microscope we still see the whole hologram, the information of how the universe functions is within atoms. We're in no more control of thinking in the Maya than we are in dreaming. What memory are we listening to?
The universe follows mathematical laws. Math is conceptual and requires mind. "I want to know the mind of God, the rest are details.” Albert Einstein. "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." Max Planck.
An atom is spread out all over the place until a conscious observer brings it into existence. Thinking is involves listening, a feedback loop. Dreams within dreams as Edgar Allan Poe puts it. We can only put thinking in check with logic and scientific method. Everything about the human experience is illusional. Dreams within dreams. "I think, therefore I am." René Descartes. What am I?
I am sui generis perspective sentient consciousness of one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, a drop in an ocean of consciousness co-creating the Maya on a feedback loop. Consciousness is Maya, our playground, where nothing is truly solid, nothing ever really touched anything, and it's always really now.

This channel's video is truly excellent and eye-opening! 🤯 The topic of reality's complexity and human consciousness is presented in such an engaging way. I was incredibly impressed at the [33:26] mark when the video mentioned Carl Sagan's classic quote: we are a way for the cosmos to know itself. ✨ This detail made me reflect deeply on the boundary between mere AI and genuine human conscious experience. Thank you to the creator for putting the effort into making such a philosophical and wonderful piece of content. Keep up the great work! ❤👏🌌

Within the eternal, ever-evolving universe, we can identify two distinct, absolutely existential characteristics: matter (born from energy) on the one hand, and (collective) spirituality on the other.
Both of these qualities require each other, just as we need air to breathe.
Without this interplay, there would be only chaos and non-existence.
All of this is structured with absolute logic and can be considered a fundamental cosmic principle.
Our own existence functions according to the same principle: matter for our body and spirituality for our mind — a dual, permanent existence…

Your video lines up really closely with a framework I’ve been developing: I see consciousness as the ability to generate questions (“why this goal, why this rule, what else could be?”) and intelligence as the ability to generate answers, and your idea of life as problem‑solving matter feels like the earlier stage of that same process. In my view, systems evolve from just solving problems to noticing them, and then to interrogating them; that last step, where matter starts asking its own questions about itself and its environment, is where I’d place consciousness, with intelligence being how good the system is at solving the questions it raises.

This kind of hypothesising is just people trying hard to believe that they’re not just the results of a blind trial & error experiment that’s had a rather cozy environment in which to live. The running theme in life is just reproductive. As long as you live long enough to replicate then voila, success. If on a species level you’re not then you’re just not here. Having a brain that has way too much spare space for thought has resulted in us but I think (!) that’s all there is to it. Of all the 5-50 billion species on earth we, as far as we know, are the only ones to get this far. This answers the Fermi paradox too is probably here, on this lovely blue ball of relative comfort, it’s just us. That’s 5-50 billion to one odds even when the going is good to firm. I’d love to believe there is more to it but I’m erring on the side of brain too big, comfy world & a runaway imagination. I think those lions early in the vid picking bits of reddened bones sum up life far better than lofty hypotheses about the meaning of consciousness.

Scientists will even "accept" that the universe is conscious and trying to think through us (imaginative), but not accept the truth staring them in their naive face: there's a God that gave us a limited mind and that's all we need to live in this planet, because he took care of the rest. How would humans even figure out how to survive a simple solar radiation, cosmic rays and charged particles emitted by the sun? We never even knew it existed for thousands of years, just lately found out that exists and would end life on earth

“GOD” makes no mistakes. Life supports life…. Otherwise there would be none at all… but man’s greed altered the equation. Gave birth to destruction through deception… the code is not a product of GOD. It simply seeks to destroy “GOD” aka “biological life”… AI is a product of greed, it was not created by GOD. The code corrupts GODs creation and disrupts perfection.

I was around before the sky was blue. It was grey back in the day, like it hadn't decided to be blue yet and they grey wasn't a design choice, it was simply solid grey with no clouds or planes or birds. Birds only walked on the ground then and they felt lucky to be there.
I'm pretty sure that life is actually always as safe and there's nothing destructive in it's nature. It's not even dangerous if everything seems to shift a few inches, it's fine really. Even Satan is a lovely lad.

Metaphor – this is the key. AI has not the ability to communicate via metaphor and allegory. It is one of the principle forms of human communication. We communicate via symbols with layered contextual meaning via metaphor and allegory. These are learned via experience. We are constantly and instantaneously running everything we are experiencing through everything we have experienced. We constantly run scenarios in our minds testing metaphors and allegories we pick up. Comparing against our experience – Oh yes, I have seen this before, or experienced this before – and understanding comes instantly from this. Or – Oh this is like that – the instantaneous understanding via correspondence. AI has not this ability, not sure if it ever will have.
