Great last question. Look through a tube with an eye. The corner where the walls reach a ceiling sometimes looks like the corner is pointing at you. &, “The self is ubiquitous.” UPANISHADS Translation, We are everywhere.
Hey Xandros, I've got a little exercise for you.
Step 1:
Peer through the one eye and capture the image.
Step 2:
Open the closed eye and capture the image, just as before.
Step 3:
Turn your whole head by a factor of the perceived field.
If you repeat this loop, you end up with a spherical projection of the entirety of your localised observable cluster.

For Honour and Glory 🔥🥦🙏
I am sorry but I can't watch your videos, you talk way too quickly, it is exhausting trying to listen to you.
2:39 you can actually convert light into sound and sound into light via frequency of vibrations of said particles /wave form collapses (particles are just convergences of wave strands of energy concentrated and more dense, they are real but as if they form their own membrane or dimensional pocket of energy and space to exist within). that being said most of reality and matter are all the same, just atoms and sub-electrons and densities off/varying from eachother
If your interested you could consider looking into modulation like with internet and RF or Light. How does internet go from being Radio Frequency to a beautiful picture on your screen? How does the computer now how to interpret that signal? I find it to be a fascinating parallel to our experience.
Before I watch your video ive recently imagined consciousness as your brain modulating the signals in your brain. Your brain simply interprets those signals on a pre loaded program like a computer built by your DNA. As time has passed you learn and your brain changes. Your atoms may be different but the signal is the same and the structure is mostly the same. So your mind is built to perceive it as one continuous experience. Only your DNA and your experience is your consciousness. Its unique based on time and circumstance designed by millions of years of biological planning. The reason the human experience is so similar is because we're similar biologically but its still different because our experiences are different.
Using your teleport analogy, if you are reconstructed from random particles I would think you would just be a clone, but if the machine could send all of you at light speed to another location and then reconstruct you from all the same particles, it would then be you, maybe?
Your assertion about fields of consciousness is directly violated by the existence of synesthesia. People who hear colors, or see sound, etc.
So we’ve already concluded that the consciousness doesn’t actually make the decision so it’s potentially the subconscious it doesn’t come from the actual brain so I’ve rechecked the heart. No, we haven’t checked the heart. Have we checked the entire body to see if it comes from anywhere in the body because if it doesn’t come from anywhere in the body, then it’s non-local and if it’s non-local then where does it come from? Then that means that the micro tubulars are actually an antenna and we’re receiving a signal and the delay is the unconscious delay that comes with sleepwalking through life, and then quantum entanglement would be instant instantaneous. There would be no delay that would mean that spirituality actually proves awakening has an effect not only on the brain, but the very body the soul the essence of what we are.
I’ve been chewing on the black and white room and I never could cross experience equally knowledge. I think knowledge has to able to be transmitted as information. Knowledge is abstraction, experience is just what it is. You can’t transmit your experience to another person like you can information about color. I also had a philosophy profess tell us that a mirror doesn’t reverse the image you see, it’s just our brains are built to a certain perspective that makes the mirror image feel different. A being whose sphere wouldn’t see the image as reversed because it has no frame of reference for top or bottom, left or right.
0:22 either he has alot of energy or he adhd/add.
I called a phenomenon I encountered "Ascension Syndrome";
The unstoppable approach of an overwhelming load of neural rewiring, which the subject themselves is aware of yet unable to stop if they wanted to.
A form of psychosis. Losing control over one's cognition.. or being made aware that the control was an illusion all along
I love the thought experiment if colors are experienced the same way cause I had the same thought as a kid. I do remember a video saying that the consensus is that yes, color is universal in experience. It had to do with the physical structure of how color communicates from the eye to the brain to be uniform. Therefore it's not the neurons themselves making up their own connections to create the color, but color has a universal structure for how brains develop and it's the same experience.
Call out to Jesus
Pled The Blood of The Lamb over your body heart soul spirit mind thoughts and dreams and over where you sleep over you home and all that you have which you thank The LORD for always and ask to be increased in only good things and nothing that will lead you off the straight and narrow path and there be anything that will may it be gotten rid of.
Put on the whole aromor of God
And just stop you dont have to do anything The LORD shall move on your behalf you need only to , be still and know that He is GOD
And remember I , I being He , has not given you a spirit of fear but of love power and a sound mind !
I feel like I've just been beaten up and bombarded by a thought monologue. There were some really interesting and (dare I say) thought provoking points raised here. But please, show down. Take a breath. Allow your listener to process one point before rushing into the next.
I think its like how you ignore your nose in the middle of your vision,I think the outside of our vision is the same thing or similar.
Are you an entp in mbti?
11:23 the only real difference between silicon and wetware, is that wetware is more efficient. That’s it. Like, if you multiplied the current number of AI data centers on Earth by 5, and ran a single AI on 15 times that much mechanical RAM and memory and such, I think it is entirely possible that this AI could eventually become a sapient being, assuming it could rewrite it’s own code (to be clear, I am not saying that opening this particular Pandora’s Box would be worth it, because it wouldn’t be)
I really like how you think
I love your videos.
2:54 = Correction required. Yes, some of us can see & hear the color of Yellow (and more). It is called: "synesthesia".
All of philosophy's greatest paradoxes vanish the moment you stop trying to explain the machine using the graphics on the screen.
The universe isn't a mystery to be solved; it’s an interface to be bypassed.
The only explaination is the brain is doing alot of work. there is no way to orient the "place" that a field of view "is" with "respect" to another field of view because the location is in our mind and none of this can possibly be happening.🤣
I thought about the vision. Its interesting to image the vision that other animals get, i think some of them have 360 degrees of vision.
having watched a newborn learn to coordinate their eyes and then how to see, I think the third eye experiment would be like
"what is this data" for a few months, or longer due to the loss of neuroplasticity, into
"oh it's visual data because it changes in a similar way to my already calibrated eyes"
on to
"oh its an eye with these colours in this position relative to my other eyes"
but I think it would be a lengthy process, and the field of vision is probably nested within a field of position that the visual data starts outside of and is slowly moved into
You can not taste vanilla. Imagine that you have a cold. You can't taste food no longer, but you know if something is sweet, salt etc.
There is new mathematics and physics here! Many examples from medicine and pharmacology demonstrate that drugs and toxins can alter our consciousness. What about a new understanding of how our biological receptors work? Receptors are the missing ingredient in understanding ourselves and creating better AI. At the most fundamental level, we are the summation and interplay of trillions of our cellular receptors. These receptors are poised biochemical balances that interact with our environment and with one another in a grand symphony that has evolved since the universe began. We are currently unique beings who can reflect on the universe and discover our origins within it. We reside upon the cusp of an unfolding creation, like a surfer trying to catch a wave. See the book, Origins of Life's Sensoria, for more.
try to imagine what it would be like to have the visual field of a pidgeon
2:18 is it oval? to be quite honest i can't make out an outline for my own visual field at all. it's kind of weird because i couldnt even fathom what it's like to have a larger field of view. like imagine someone were to stitch on extra retinal tissue to the back of my eyes. i couldnt imagine what it would be like to have a larger fov. it's bizarre
I have a somewhat unusual perspective on consciousness that ties into natural selection. Made chatgpt rewrite it cuz it was messy before
I’ve noticed that many theories in biology become more convincing when they explain why a trait would improve a species’ chances of survival. Following that reasoning, I think consciousness may have evolved because it allows organisms to override purely deliberate or calculated decision-making when doing so increases the chances of survival.
For example, imagine someone is offered $1 million to put their hand in a fire. A purely logical cost-benefit calculation might not be enough to prevent someone from making a dangerous decision. However, the intense conscious experience of fear and pain can immediately override that deliberation and stop the action. There may not be a simpler mechanism that natural selection could have selected for. Reflexes are metabolically cheaper, but they can only respond to predefined stimuli. They cannot flexibly resolve novel situations or conflicts between competing goals. Subjective experiences such as fear and pain may provide a more general solution because they can influence almost any decision an organism faces, regardless of the specific circumstances. In this view, consciousness isn’t just awareness—it is an adaptive mechanism that gives emotions enough influence to interrupt or overrule conscious reasoning when necessary.
This also suggests that the degree of consciousness should depend on how much control an organism has over its actions. Mobile organisms constantly face situations where they must choose between different behaviors, so they would benefit more from conscious experiences that guide or override decisions. This fits with the observation that animals generally appear more conscious than plants.
Plants, by contrast, cannot move to escape threats or actively pursue opportunities. If consciousness is metabolically expensive, then natural selection would likely eliminate it in organisms that gain little or no survival advantage from it. Since plants have very limited control over their behavior, they would have little need for conscious experiences that influence decision-making.
You can see sounds under synesthesia.
This video reminds me of the time I posted in a Facebook philosophy group that whenever I leave a room everything goes blank or something dumb like that and they blocked me😂😂😂
A blind person can be smarter than me as a matter of fact I'm willing to bet there are multiple blind people who are smarter than me, that I think would prove your point about not linking consciousness to intelligence
I understand it this way: Observation is that which splits the void into waves. The void is the morphing vehicle between spaces that are themselves propped up by the changing of things, otherwise it goes back to nothing.
So, there is no difference between observation and light itself. When a space receives light of any type it is an eye.
In dependent type theory (mathematical computer science) we define a type to be a space that data occupies, and if you show that a type is occupied by data that is a genuine proof of that type (space) actually existing. As well, if you have a coherent type checker that looks at the rules of construction all the way down to your axioms, you can have the computer check if an arbitrary mathematical construction you made is actually true or false. Where it gets weird is that not every axiom agrees with every other axiom. Like, the ground floor of mathematics has different modes of self cohesion you can find yourself in. Strange stuff!
But, this would be where I say the inanimate universe we observe is still made of consciousness as much as we are. It is both nothing and everything. It's actually very strange that such a structure has to keep relearning what it is. We have to keep waking up.
Once I was driving. I realised, I was tapping into multi sense. Like. I was looking, but I was also about to see my thoughts as images in my mind and yeah thoughts where also there.
11:02 me on bottom left (clapping)
I love ur vids cus of how focused and dense it is but its also clear where smth is known and unknown. Literaly how id talk so its natural as hell. Ure gonna grow fast dude.
On the topic of the vid tho, ive understood how consciousness works and i even weaponized it and gave an existencial crisis to a friend cus of how brutal it is and how much it changes. Essentialy ure the process of ur brain itself, the definition u have of "you" or "im conscious" is a safety restriction so u dont fall into depression and kill urself simply because u realised there is simply 0 worth in ur very own life, as it isnt even the beautiful "life" concept u think of every time. As for life in general, its a positive feedback loop we call evolution, where a certain change drowns out a different change, thus generating more copies of itself to grow off of. So all u are is a combination of atoms that grows better or worse based on its flaws, and ur experience or perception or view of reality is just the process of the brain. YOU are a PROCESS, nothing else. Think abt that but keep urself in check, dont give a yt comment a kill count…
This makes so much sense, I will explore this idea further in psychedelic meditation.
The third eye thing might be how you think but I dont believe so. Cells have memory and it's been well documented. They have tested on some weird worm creature and even do this with humans on severe burns, cuts, etc. Take an eye cell and place it on the worms foot and an eye will grow. The reasoning in laymens terms is the cell has memory and it's data structure, ie DNA, is mapped to produce / form an eye. Now will the work properly if unnaturally placed, I dont know. Generally deformities, or unnatural organic growths do not function optimally or die off rather rapidly and potentially become fatal if not removed as they decay and rot.
People who lack a sense tend to have that compensated with the senses they do have.
So I would say each species has an average amount of consciousness: total sum of senses. So a blind person wouldn't have less consciousness, but instead their touch, imagination, hearing, taste, smell would be some combination larger to compensate for the missing sight to achieve the average consciousness that makes up a human, or animal.
