No, you could not be more wrong if you worked at it. The field of computer science is very specifically concerned with the nature of computation and how it works. Gödel undecidability is a good example of this exercise. That you "use code all the time" doesn't require that you have any grasp of computational linguistics. When we design a programming language, there may be a technological motivation to produces the kind of product that you might use, say, for writing simulations. That's the motivation, properly, of SOFTWARE ENGINEERING. The motivation in COMPUTER SCIENCE to design a programming language is very different. We're looking to establish the limits of expressive power, for example at a fundamental level which grammars are sufficient for which classes of computation, for example parallelization or theorem proving or quantum computing. The goal is not to dream up mechanisms which we don't understand but to proceed through mathematical formalism a treatment of the computation that we do understand. The one notable exception - and indeed the grounds for longstanding objection by computer science formalists - is neural networks. As with genetic algorithms but much more dramatically, we understand the mechanism but not what it's doing. That's a qualitative departure from traditional forms of computation, and it's not even clear that it can be called computer science.

I mean we actually kind of do know how they work. They work by inhibiting certain neurotransmitters in your brain so there's that

I had something similar happen after having my gallbladder removed. When I would try going to sleep and was right at that point where you go from being awake to asleep, my body would almost jolt itself awake. I would wake up almost panicking with this nagging feeling that I just stopped myself from never waking up again.

@@williethekid5656maybe because anesthesia does in fact, contrary to what OP’s comment says, completely “shut” you down, and you’ve managed to trick the brain that it died. The human brain is fascinating in the way that even if it knows it’s being tricked, or if even it knows the truth behind something, it still falls for it.

That’s my dream too - to have a PhD in physics and/or mathematics (I have a suspicion that mathematics incorporates physics, in a higher-order sense) and so understand more than I do now. The PhD is thus a means to an end. But, I may never make it! Luck to you to do so.

@@maitlandbowen5969, my gf got her major in math than got a masters in physics and than is finishing up her doc and phd in physics. She gets bored watching this type of videos.

@@and_I_am_Life_the_fixer_of_all I understand somewhat. I find some of the pace and perusal of jargon in this particular video a bit annoying. Maths and physics are my dream pursuit. I have a PhD in neuropsychology from an earlier direction. I’d like to marry the two directions because of the question of reality construction through the observer. Time is my passion though.

I love that reply 😊

Humans are not smart enough to answer it. The answer could be right in our faces yet we will deny it. Because we ourselves are part of the equation. And for something or some consciousness to exist beyond us is to crazy for us to accept.

I think questions like those may be impossible to answer or there might not be an answer, maybe this is just the way the universe is and there is no explanation behind it.

@@OmniversalInsect maybe. Or maybe the explanation is unknowable for entities from inside the universe. Or maybe we will eventually work it out. We are too early in the study of the universe to be sure of anything like that yet.

@OmniversalInsect we are basically fish in a fishbowl. We don't know how or why we are here, and we can't see outside the bowl. Yet there is a whole reality outside the bowl we can't see. High dimensions. Existence is eternal, infinite. Which hurts my brain. Like how can something go on forever? And how large is the scale of dimensions? What's outside of the dimensions? Can't stand the concepts as I can't know the answer.

It will also reflect the state of the Western World's "Adolescent Ego Mindedness" Intelligence is not a cure for Behavior Choices nor does it = Wisdom Wisdom requires Conscious Application of Thoughts with a Desire to attain a Higher Minded State, and Personal Desire for Balance/Harmony. The Ego Mindedness is vastly over the top and it truly limits the greater potentials - in all of us.

Every time day I inch towards these questions with my study more and more. I'm really interested by this and looking forward to the future where I might try to unravel said mysteries

These videos make me happier than sad

Why do you need a reason to exist?

Twistt As the video has pointed out, we don’t know a huge amount of the universe or why anything is here. There may be some greater underlying meaning to everything that our puny simian brains can not possibly hope to comprehend and there is a greater intelligence to the universe as a whole. This meaning isn’t abundantly clear to us, but it may very well be there. Nevertheless, go live your life and do what makes you happy, and maybe we’ll have the answer one day.
