1. THIS is why I watch this channel!

2. Hello Mr. Kuhn. I have watched your channel for quite sometime now and it has really broadened my mind. Like you, I want to know the fundamental reason of our existence, what is consciousness, is there a God, etc. My question is, have you delved into dreams as a manifestation of a multiverse and that what we are dreaming is actually our other selves in those multiverses?

3. You don’t need to explain that to me, I am a human.

4. YES VERY GOOD MR SHANE FISHER, TIME AS ALWAYS HAD IS MOMENT OF FLUCTUATIONS, NOT LONG AGO THIS COSMOS OF YOURS AS A LITTLE SPACE FOR A FUTURE WHO WAS MALLEABLE AND FLEXIBLE AND NO PASS JUST ARTEFACTS INFORMATION BUT NOW BECAUSE NASA DECIDE TO SHOW TO BILLIONS PEOPLES WITH JAMES WEB WITHOUT EVEN SCRATCH THEIR HEAD AS USUAL NOT EVEN THINK JUST A LITTLE SINCE GALILEO USING TOOLS TO BE ABLE TO OBSERVE VERY FAR, OK,LISTEN IF YOU MAKE AI THE ONLY ONE OBSERVER OF JAMES WEB PROJECT NOTHING WILL HAPPEN NO GROW NO CHANGE INSIDE THIS VERY FLEXIBLE CONTAINER THAT WE CALL UNIVERSES WITH INSIDE IS COSMOS OF YOURS AND ALSO SOME DOORS THERE AND THERE TO ACCESS OTTERS UNIVERSES,,BUT MULTIVERS IS NOT LIKE YOU PUT ZILLIONS OF UNIVERSES INTO A MAMOUTH ZONE OR AREA NO,HERE THIS UNIVERSES OF YOURS AS YOUR ABEL TO SPIRITUALY LIVE INSIDE ON FORM OF IONS SOMETIMES POSITIVE SOMETIME NEGATIVE BY THE INSIDE MULTIVERS IT WILL LOOK SOMETIMES INFINITE WITHOUT A START BUT IT JUST SEEM, ANYWAY, INTO YOUR COSMOS IT GOT SOME ALGORITHMIC SENSORS THOSE SENSORS LET CALL THEM LIKE THIS SENSOR I DESIGNE THEM TO BE SURE THAT NO CHANGE WILL OCCUR IF IS NOT HUMAN BEING INTELIGENT BEING AS ME ALSO GOD CREATOR I JESUS ON HUMAN FORM RIGHT NOW SURE I STILL BE NOT LIKE SOME OF YOU BELIEVE THAT I AM ALL I DESIGNED I CREATED AND STILL DO BUT ELOHIM ARE UNIVERSE BUILDERS I AM TAKING CARE TO MAKE THOSE PETICULARD HAPPENING TO LIGHT UP INSIDE UNIVERSE THE ULTIMATE CONTAINER WHERE COSMOS WILL BE LIGHT UP EXPANDING WAY FASTER OF WHAT SUPPOSE TO THE CONSTANT SPEED OF UNIVERSES TOTALLY RONG YOU JUST START TO FINALLY ASKING YOU QUESTION ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE NO CHOICE ANYMORE TO ASKING YOU AND THOSE EGOS GOLDEN GOLD BONES NOBEL PRIZE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY CLICK WHO TRULY BELIEVE THEY SMARTER THAN ANYONE ON EARTH AND PROBABLY INTO THE ENTIRE MULTIVERS, RIGHT, BUT TRUST ME YOU WILL BE AND VERY HAPPY TO LEARN RIGHT NOW THE BIG MAJORITY OF HUMANITY RED BLOOD MY GENETIC LINE WILL BE THE FIRST ONE HERE INSIDE OF THIS COSMOS OF YOURS THE FIRST AT THE END OF THOSE PROPHETIC DAYS SO,END OF APOCALYPSE TO DEFINITELY SINCE THE 10 GENERATIONS OF HUMAN BEINGS LONG TIME AGO TILL YOUR ANCESTORS WAY OVER TO NOW ACHIEVING EACH LEVELS OF COSMIC COSMOGONY, DO YOU REALLY REALIZE WHAT I AM SEEING TO YOU EACH OF YOU.

IT WILL HAVE A END THIS WILL BE THE MOST AMAZING VICTORY A DIVINE VICTORY THAT NOT JUST ME WILL DESERVE ALL THE HONNOR BUT EACH OF US. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU

5. Indeed perception is factored highly by understanding, knowledge, awareness of your surroundings, and how yous and others actions affect it! Most times, groups of ppl perceive a situation all very different differently. . Even just asking who is the threat here? And how u come to that conclusion. We also being unaware of others intentions, makes our perception off. . So all based discernment… no 2 ppl will perceive a situation exactly the same.. and it's frustrating! So we have to be understanding of this and accept others perception rather then argue it!

6. just want to share a video "The mathematics behind the relationship between human and god @Jeffrey Lang which might be useful..peace be upon us all

7. I'm favoured, $130K every 4weeks! I can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.

8. He's not right. Consciousness arises from having read and write access to the sustained representations the brain sets up, as though they were extrernal things to be sensed and acted upon. In short, it is the ability to self reference.

9. STOP! You're going nuts/in circles. You will never understand it. It resides outside of you, in another dimension you can't comprehend

10. the "Buddhist 5 aggregates" shows no self (anatta). sense perceptions, thoughts, emotions, are all impermanent and changing. just like the cells in our body.

11. perception is not explained by neuron energy?

12. how can energy impulses be made intelligible?

13. energy impulses are transmitted through movement, both physical and neuronal?

14. where is the top down structure in brain? what does top down structure do that might lead to understanding? how does the top down structure interact with bottom up processing of information?

15. as information is processed bottom up in brain, what happens to energy impulses in neuron?

16. for conscious perception and thought, something more than energy impulses are needed?

17. Excellent argument, Alva Noë!

18. Robert, you were testing me with this video excerpt, weren’t you? 🤔🤨😉 According to this guy (but, again, it’s fair to say that this is an old interview), a paraplegic lying in his hospital bed doesn’t have “sensory perception” because he’s unable to “dance around” [my syntagma] in order to have an “interplay with reality” (pardon my deductive brute force of language used). No, that’s not right… [Intentional ambiguity on my part, a doubletalk.] However, I do agree with his closing statement that consciousness is “immaterial”. Wait, what!? Well, yeah! With clinical patients who are “brain-dead”, the body is still vital (the heart is beating, the lungs are breathing, the cells use all these ATPs and dispense heat), but that “character” is gone for good: no brain activity, whatsoever. The sensory class inputs are intact, but there are no downstream (feedback loop) control signals (like “wait, what’s this; give me a more detailed view of this” etc.), and there is no integration of gathered information (with data already stored in the internal relational database)… Another way to put it: The CPU (with ALU & FPU) might not be fried, but it seems the algorithm (the code) is not executing… | The other point: Let’s not make a rule out of some exceptions… | Finally: I would take a guess and answer one of the questions: Maybe the “causal substrate” [whatever that may scholastically mean] might be ‘purely digital information’ [TM] and the purely mathematical laws that operate over these immaterial operands – but with lucid oversight! [Boy, am I smart, or what?] 🤓😯🤫2023-05-02 🥳

19. I don't know. This seems similar to the line of argumentation of some religious people who say: “Well, actually, you need more faith to be an atheist than a believer” or “I don't have enough faith to be an atheist.” Misleading at best.

20. This was phenomenal and I think it gave me an Idealist epiphany.

21. The point about more neural fibres going from the brain down, rather than from the eye up; I'm really interested in this but I can't find any information online about it. Could anyone help me with this?

22. Finally someone who can think outside the box

23. Alva Noe: "Perception depends on two components: sensory stimulation and sensory motor understanding. (without the latter)….. It has become just a blinding confusion rather than an encounter with the world….

24. In other words – the brain in a vat is not a possible way of being.

25. The problem is Mind is not equivalent to brain. mind is a metaphor for our subjective experience. All these words that we use to describe the mind: the "soul", "spirit", "consciousness", etc. are pretty vague terms. They can mean almost anything. There is something to Descartes option of dualism, because unlike material things, things in the mind are indeterminate. But Descartes oversimplified this difference by calling thinking a different substance than physical matter. Thinking isn't a different kind of thing, it is a different kind of knowing. It's using our imagination to understand things not present to our senses.

26. 9:48 at the current state of knowledge nobody
    
    9:51 knows for reasons that I don't fully
    
    9:53 understand
    That's it. the grand finale of the sensory show is hidden from us… any hope that it will be revealed?

27. Hamilton's 4D quaternion algebra and consciousness:

    Quaternions are a type of mathematical object that extend the idea of complex numbers to four dimensions. They are often used in computer graphics and other applications where rotations in three-dimensional space are important. Some scientists and philosophers have proposed that quaternions might provide a mathematical framework for understanding aspects of consciousness that go beyond what can be explained by classical physics.

    One such theory is called the Orch-OR theory, which proposes that consciousness arises from quantum vibrations in microtubules inside neurons. This theory suggests that the vibrations can be modeled mathematically using 4D quaternions, which may provide a way to understand how the brain generates conscious experience.

28. Some comments I hadn't heard before

29. Is what hes saying similar to what Hoffman says about perceiving for fitness and not truth?
