So what is the difference between you and a rock? This seems like an easy, even stupid question. But even the smartest people on earth have no idea where to draw the line between living and dead things. Which leads to mind-blowing implications. What is life after all? And is death really a thing? Lets look into it together

@smockboy 2 года назад

Cool, now you've just got to define "knowing" which will inevitable require you to define "consciousness" which will inevitably require you to define "sentience" and/or "sapience". Like, does an amoeba know that it doesn't want to die? What about a plant or a fungus or a mould? All of them are definitely alive, but none of them have brains, which would seem to preclude them from "knowing" something without a particularly broad definition of "knowing" (and even then, its something of a stretch to suggest that they are conscious of the inevitability of their own demise).

@lordrorek1907 2 года назад

@@smockboy I define any type of survival instinct as "knowing". I use knowing in a very broad and metaphorical way here. It doesn't have to be aware of its own mortality but it has to want to live even if it doesn't have the sentience to understand or even ask why. Even single celled organisms will run away when under threat and they don't even have brain cells. That drive to protect one's own existence is how I define "alive" because only a living thing can have that drive.

@Scravers no.. not exactly, computers are advanced sure, but they are understandable, even our bodies and brains can be understood in every process, we are more similar to computers than we'd like to imagine, turning on specific tiny lights at given times takes some really advanced technology, we've made great strides in that area over the past 100 years from when circuitry was first invented, and humans largely work the same way, we need electricy to function, our body is comprised of machinery that is so small and so advanced its almost impossible to comprehend how efficiently it works, but like computers we have coding as well (dna) bad code creates glitches (mutations) we can't function if we're too cold or too hot we have a heating and cooling system, our energy is derived from compatible fuel sources, we run on so much energy that compared to a regular computer we degrade over a number of decades, like we run on so much energy that our bodies are constantly warm, and our brains perform very basic functions driven by complex machinery... but none of this, not a single thing that I mentioned... explains this machines ability to experience and be an individual everything else is physically possible and explainable with biology, chemistry and physics... not conciousness... also funny thing you already know what it's like to die: 1: you were dead before birth, 2: you die everytime you go to sleep and don't dream, (if youre dreaming you're still partially conciouss, meaning your brain isn't actually properly sleeping but do dip in and out) your conciouss self is essentially gone, which is why when you wake up you don't even remember falling asleep, nor do you remember sleeping, because none of the physical functions of the brain are being used which is of course: memory, vision, hearing etc. That state, where you dont remember a thing, thats what death is like, you won't even know you're dead, when people joke that dead people are just sleeping that isnt a joke, that's actually the truth, your body is just incapable of waking you up again. You can destroy the machine... but what tf was the machine being driven by.. People are iffy when it comes to souls because they say its not scientific but... if such a thing exists, it would be scientific fact, you cant prove it though because if the physical universe can't explain consciousness, then such a thing wouldn't exist in the physical world.. that being said I think all religions are completely wrong and such a thing if it exists, would not be connected to an afterlife or gods or legends, but to an isolated phenomena.

Now, that effectively means "conscious life" is the questioning of it: that struggle, to abstract from instinct when instinct is all that's needed. It also means "life" is effectively the making memories that stand the test of time. Think of the concept of memes from mgs4... If you want to live in humanity, but suffer alot, make cool ideas and think. If you want to have a good physical life, not suffer, and live in the moment, then don't think, and have faith.

This might actually be the most thought provoking Kurzgesagt video I've seen yet. I mean, the part at the end really hit me. Everything in the universe is made of the same stuff, so either everything is living or everything is dead. This makes me think that overall life is solely about complexity. And if this is true, does that mean that everything that exists has conscious, just maybe on an immeasurable scale? We know that animals have conscious, we know that insects do as well, but does this ever stop? Does conscious exist in everything, but in most things it's too small for us to understand?

You have been shown, provided you see and you have been made to listen provided you listen, and you have been guided if you accept guidance."

Scientific theory is something that can be overthrown by new theories, e.g. model of atom. Scientific experiments can be repeated like water always boils at 100C. Religion is miracles recorded by humans in way of book or speech. There is no way of repeating the demonstrations. **In conclusion: The video is scientific.**

@jonassamuel4376 9 лет назад

Dear *****, as always an awesome video! But i think you might have some possibly "faulty" premisses in your argumentation. (or simplify the situation too much by leaving out some factors) Actually we can't answer these questions yet from what we know because: *Firstly:* The concept of *Emergence*. (the whole is *more* than the sum of its parts), The apparent phenomenon that "complex systems" ("real complexity") gain propertys, and the existence of consciousness might be a "Emerging" effect, and if this is a physical property of the universe your whole argumentation is lackluster, we just don't know this yet, as we know so little about emergence. (huge complex topic can'tgo too deep ofc :) ) *Secondly:* As far as we know, *consciousness could be a physical property* and if complex living organisms act like an antenna to acess or somehow "produce" this "consciousness" there would also be a a "factual" difference between life and death. *Thirdly:* The still unknown *macro level or quantum physics*, some theorists suggest that the mind might be the result of complex quantum effects interacting which. (strong claim, but we can't answer this yet.) Your video looks at the world from a *deterministic, materialistic perspective*, which might seem to be the only "scientific perspective" but it is actually not the only logical/philosophical explanation. We just know too little to answer these questions with as strong statements as you did. If you want to provoke thats fine ofc, but i don't think all viewers know about the more complex ongoing philosophical and scientifical debate about this. Still, thanks a lot for the video, and keep it up! :).

“Every self will taste death. You will be paid your wages in full on the Day of Rising. Anyone who is distanced from the Fire and admitted to the Garden, has triumphed. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of delusion.” (Quran, 3:185) Here, Allah reminds us that we all, collectively as a human race, have a shared destiny with death - none can escape it. What remains for us to do, then, is to ensure we are truly living lives worthy of worshipping and loving Allah. We musn’t fall into the trap of believing this temporal world is worth risking our relationship with Allah.

Many Muslims-and Orientalists-will tell you otherwise, of course, but the fact is that a fifth of the Koranic text is just incomprehensible. This is what has caused the traditional anxiety regarding translation. If the Koran is not comprehensible-if it can't even be understood in Arabic-then it's not translatable. People fear that. And since the Koran claims repeatedly to be clear but obviously is not-as even speakers of Arabic will tell you-there is a contradiction. Something else must be going on.

I'd argue that the "magic" of humanity is mostly just in the idea that we've gone from being self-aware, to basically being aware of *everything*. The fact that we have the capability to understand and question our own role in the universe, and that the only other sort of being we've witnessed that engages with consciousness and existentialism in the same way is something we're in the process of CREATING shows something "Special" about humanity. Granted, there may be other species out there in the universe with similar understandings, but that doesn't make us less special. That just means that there are other groups that are just as special as us.

***** sorry! I did a quick search for "cyanovirus" on Google and Google Scholar but couldn't really find anything substantial. But dig deeper than me and you're bound to find something.

I've always been on the atheist/deist side of the fence, and I love your videos, but boy you all give me an existential crisis. The thought of no longer existing and never having remembered you even existed in the first place is by far the most plausible result, but also the most terrifying.

Or, what if our solar system is an atom, and our galaxy is a molecule, and our universe is a cell of some mega-creature?

@akshatsingh7231 9 лет назад

raven lord and what if the "mega-creature" is just a very small bacteria in its universe?

I would consider life to be cells working together. When you are dead, your cells don't work together anymore. They split up and slowly dies out because of the lack of coorporation. It's more like saying if it's active or passive. That is my perspective and view on dead and living. Great video!
