We exist inside the story that the brain tells itself (Joscha Bach) | AI Podcast Clips 

I was just wondering whether or not my friends could enjoy or even derive meaning from this video. Pretty sure they would fall asleep within the first minute.

Are you being sarcastic ? 😃

@@MrSridharMurthy Absolutely not. I believe a large amount of the population cannot grasp these concepts. Not to say it's never going to be possible. It takes work to achieve a certain level of intellect to come here. For me, this video is one of many that has sparked my interest in greater regions of learning. If you are in a place where you can, at least, consider the possibility of the idea of a simulation, I believe you are on the right track.

Nothing new under the sun. This is just yet another form of Gnosticism.

Never went to college and I listen to this for entertainment haha

I like Lex a lot cause he doesnt pretend to know everything and doesnt try to be smarter than the one he is interviewing. And in doing so, he understands things better

good one, expect in next youtube player....

kkkkkkk I took the 75 in this case

Load the vid onto your comp with .75 and on your phone to 1.25 Pause as necessary

DEAD. 😂

He's a maniac

Another way to see it is everything you've ever learnt up until this point made you understand this video. If you are a truth seeker this is no coincidence

How do you live with the fact that you can't control your own life?

@@ABeautifulEarthForOurChildren the answer I have most often heard to this question is to let go of the desire of control and be in acceptance of things that you cannot control ( you still have to activemy work on what you can control) that résistance that you are feeling to the things you cant control is the ego and the source of suffering, illusory suffering, because it does not have to be and you could switch it up in your mind. Easy to say I know, but possible through extensive meditation. This is still all theory to me brother, but I have felt an ounce of that libération occasionally through meditation.

Except that the Hindu stories are beautiful and brilliantly layered, while this turgid stuff is deliberately made so boring and obtuse as to be useless. I’ll take the Hindu version any day.

@@dexterwilliam6941 so i can control my life but just to some extent?

@@ABeautifulEarthForOurChildren ultimately yes, but that "extent" can be extended if you apply the principle that religious people call " Faith" i.e Belief in the those things that you cant control going your way. Faith has a way of taking control of the subconscious and really manifesting Miracles. You can strengthen your Faith through positive affirmations or Prayers. But even this is not easy, you have to work on it everyday and aim to have no worries and fear in your mind about those things you say you cant control

Hmmmmmmahhhhhhhhhhahahahahahahah ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d-KkrmmKj6w.html

Yeah, I am amazed, confused and scared all at the same time. It truly is a wonderful world we live in...(if we exist atall in that sense)

@@NickoGibson True

To be fair, he was a slave!

great quote...

Yea. External stimuli. An ant does that too. Realizing or processing its existence. Even recorgnizes itself in the mirror.

Doesn't seem uncomfortable at all to me. These are all topics he's already quite familiar with, he's just taking brief moments to get all the context right, as well as to let viewers assimilate the information too.

I don't think so. That is just the regulating mechanism saying this that keeps you looked in. Let go of preferences and you'll feel fine. 😉😘

Perhaps you can

Few ways do that, either do so many things that you don’t want to accept about yourself that you dissociate into oblivion, which is what the “bad guys” do. Or you could like, be apart of the “Illuminati” and engage in sodomy mind control rituals. Uhm, you can also maybe use your sense of self and specific emotional expressions found in your dreams and bring them out in waking life. Also maybe you could just get high on drugs? I prefer the last one.

Would that be some shit. If you created your own shitty prison and locked yourself in it

I suggest reformating and rebooting your virtual reality simulator.

Yep..

Lmao yes.. no point in even trying to explain

I've sent it to a few people, anyone think they will comprehend?? 🧘🧘

Mine stopped asking😂

ok good I'm not the only one

I laughed out loud three times in a row at this

In essence, the proper conclusion of this mind-blowing theory !! .👍👍😊

Fascinating thought

Your brain did not create this video 😂 lex and his camera equipment did, along with Yoscha. Your brain perceives reality.. it doesn't create it. The world exists and operates independently of you or your mind

I’m not sure you understood the discussion, or even watched the video 🤔

Infinity loop

Yes this is true and i don't think either of them really considered it properly. What if you had an immensely powerful computer that could work out all theoretical interactions in the universe and predict any outcome? Well it still would not be able to.... because the computer itself in doing the calculations using energy and matter would be changing the outcome that it itself is trying to work out! It is hard to describe exactly but my intuition is that it all becomes meaningless to an extent when you consider that the brain / consciousness can never get out of the way of itself when trying to think about what it all means on a deeper level.

@@User-xm1db, I know the meaning of existence: Love of Truth in Awareness. Awareness without Truth is pointless; it's lost in darkness, in pure chaos, with no foundation, no comfort, nothing to Love. Truth without Awareness is also pointless. What good would it be to have any Truth at all without any Awareness of it? Truth cannot be Loved without Awareness. Experience is the combination of Awareness and Truth (the Knower and the Known); so is Knowledge. There is no Experience possible without each one combined with the other. There is nothing beyond this, nothing that can transcend it; anything that might transcend it would simply be a higher level of it - a higher level of Awareness or a higher level of Truth in that Awareness. Awareness Loves Truth because Truth is the only thing that's Real. That is the meaning of existence.

lol so true

Yes thank you . I completely agree

The man is a quack.

this is the comment I was looking for. All these people in the comments that seem to be taking this video as their new religion - when really he is saying so much without saying anything at all.

The comment section is beautiful I’m glad our implantations are equally awed by the information we just downloaded

We implemented the common interface.

How funny!..spot on...mine ran screaming naked down the road..I last saw it hiding behind a clump of trees...

Actually hearing that particular bit I went like "oh c'mon"... I know a bit about what light and sound is, and how the biosensors work that receive that data and turn it into a stream of neural pulses... But the rest of the debate is stellar. Essentially, that our perception of reality is really a model maintained by the brain in real time. The brain hallucinates in real time, about the environment it is facing, based on streams of highly compressed sensory data coming in from the retinas, cochlear organs, nasal and oral sensors, touch sensors etc etc...

@D⃝ R⃝ I⃝ P⃝ P⃝ 🤣😂😅

@@frr5004 fyi. Both light and sound oscillate whether you want to believe this guy or not. Light waves and sound waves oscillate which is why they are called waves in the first place. Cycles, up and down up and down, repeating cycles aka oscillations.

@@jtcrook32 Yes, referring to the basic nature of sound and light, that's true. After that, believe it or not, both the hair cells in the cochlea and the photoreceptor cells in the retina respond to a relatively narrow range of *frequencies* (arguably the photoreceptors are somewhat broadband) i.e. they need some time to respond, to the extent that an individual period of the "carrier wave" is far below their sensitivity. The waves of the fundamental carrier frequency are not directly translated to neuronal activity. The amplitude-modulated envelope is. All of this has been known to science for how long? A century might be in the right ballpark...

This is the best comment I've read in awhile

beauty of philosophy and critical thinking

I was able to follow along pretty well(not trying to sound arrogant). But at the moment it ended emotion started overflowing and tears just started flowing too. When you have a large enough knowledge base to follow along to what he was saying everything felt so familiar like I was being reminded of what's real.

Same

lay off the incense.

Your saying that makes me think I'm pretty good at listening past thick accents. He is speaking English quite well. He must just really suck at pronunciation.

I feel buddhism has a lot of what a lot of science is only now touching on. How does that make you feel? It's also a bit sad when these discussions are had, I don't here anyone talking about the self doesn't exist even though that would make everything they say work perfectly.

It’s his adderal simulating his thoughts!

What about our vision being upside down 🤯

@@corinneharrison1091 I'd ask how you know that. You might reply that you've seen a video or read it, say. However, how you found this out it was an experience of some sort and we don't know whether there's anything behind that. It might all be a dream with its internally consistent logic. After all, 'real life' is indistinguishable from a dream while you're experiencing it.

I think if you look thru a glass sphere the image is upside down

A two year old comment so you might have changed your views... The response here is to baysien in your priors especially if there is no obvious way to reject those. So there is always some possibility that we are a brain in a vat or a world model future ai is building to understand itself. There is an outside world that is a causually closed structure seems to be a good theory. It is in some sense the next null hypothesis that everything is mechanical. We also "experience" dream while sleeping like normal world but some limitations (can't turn of the lights or read some long texts ) that can be attributed to limited working memory while sleeping. So a good test is to turn on/off the lights and observe if it's a dream or not. This along with other "experiential" evidence makes physicalism a strong prior.

@@corinneharrison1091 A simple convex lens always inverts the image.

I'm in agreement with you. There are so many things unaccounted for. Especially the realities of spiritual life and experience.

KT, I just made my own brain hurt writing this, lol The question I have as someone that rarely remembers dreaming (maybe a couple times a year and mostly apocalyptic in nature or else randomized but clearly formed around recent happenings in waking state. What's a logical need for a mechanism within the mind / identity held by an individual to believe they are only a simulated shell that is given a parameter of limitation for their potential intelligence with gradual increases allotted in varied cycles of physical stages governed by time and known physics to question its purpose or function if it were engineered by a creator that would already know the answer. Perhaps looking for the proof of the ability for an anomoly within a system to generate an outcome of unlimited awareness and take control of the reality outside of its function or generate a new reality or perhaps trying to learn how to write the programming for self awareness onto the physical brain of a species that lacks the ability in its current evolutionary state? Perhaps in a simplified way to query the aforementioned. What is the purpose of the human collective were it the design of a superior intellect? Taking into account the things that push us forward in our understanding of our place in the universe and beyond. We seem to thirst for the answers to questions that create more questions to be answered to quench a thirst for discovery and new knowledge. And that seems to be exactly how AI would self learn and behave. This makes me think that humanity is not artificial because we wouldnt be flawed if we were created by machines. We would know our creator and our history. That would be our shared matrix and everything else would be the search for new knowledge. Why are flaws and death necessary elements of a designed machine? What does that in and of itself produce? Are those limitations what generates urgency? And everything we believe our reality to be is the function to produce a single simple response in a higher organism? Anyway....stream of consciousness alert...i needed to write this as I was thinking it. Sorry if it seems incomplete or redundant. And to finish the thought in regards to dreaming. If its necessary for a healthy mind and what not....then why dont I remember? Am I being abducted? Is my brain high functioning enough that instead of requiring sleep to catch up on processing Im able to do it in real / the time Im awake.

Sounds like your simulation is getting ahead of the world state far enough that you can make changes. I would not call that having lived before; the time difference might only be a split second, giving you that dejavu feeling; it might even be an illusion: an asynchronosity of the integration of your model… - if it gives you the power to change things (or the feeling thereof) - good for you!

Makes me wonder if for some reason you somehow screw up will you be reborn to try again? Do you have another attempt at a life? Or is the whole heaven and hell concept for real?

@Eddie Murray ya exactly

And yea. My comment is the idiot RU-vid peanut gallery comprehension of something I have no knowledge of. But, it's very interesting to me

there might not be a noumenon.

Could our realities be a creation by someone else who is doing our programming. I think we are like antennas receiving the signals which explains our inner dialogue. Are our thoughts really our own? I do not believe in manifestation, as it does not work unless the source is the programmer. Kind of like "thy will be done". Also I wonder if the motivation to achieve something comes from the programmers will; or do we actually have a free will. Who is writing our life story? Choice or predestination? Every choice changes reality but the question is who is really making the choice.

As a thinking man 🤔. And I believe in Christ Nothing makes more sense now then ever. reading the Bible and Understanding a wide variety of toptics has strengthen my fate

Very valuable assumption. I strongly agree, being a huge admirer of Penrose's work and believing that science rests on theories that are often just replaced by new ones if not proven wrong over time.
