Why does consciousness exist? Sights, sounds, smells, textures, the warmth of love, the sting of sadness. Why and how do we experience any of it? We’ve mapped the entire observable Universe, measured every single neuron in our brains, we’ve even trained machines to think and speak like us.

And yet we still don’t understand the most basic thing about our own existence. Why is there a little person behind those eyes? And a story of your life that exists through time?

  1. There is a God, who is Jesus Christ.
    If you remove God, nothing makes sense.
    In the Bible, God said to Moses, 'I AM who I AM.' (this happened 3.471 years ago)
    And in the New Testament, Jesus said to the Israelites, 'Before Abraham was born, I AM.'
    – God created us in His image.

  2. My result from Vera Hart’s archetype quiz was not the one I expected at all. I thought I’d be a completely different type. Still deciding whether I feel exposed or misunderstood 😂

  3. Manifesting always seemed to come naturally to everyone except me. I tried so many different methods, but nothing ever really clicked. Then I took Vera Hart’s archetype quiz, and my result explained a lot. It finally gave me an approach that felt personal instead of generic. Worth a try if you’re struggling with the same thing ❤️

  4. 2:01 I have just had a profound intellectual realisation: consiousness is reduciable to information! Everything is reducible to information, up until now I thought that consiousness was an exception, but now I dont Think so! I Think that consiousness is just a very Weird type of information! You Can have information without consiousness, without subjektive expirience, obviously, but you cannot have consiousness without information! I mean, Think about it, all human qualia requires information form the mind, and even what I thought of was “pure-consiousness”, where you expirience nothing except your own existence and expierience, still contains the information that it ei t’s and that its expirience IS, That its expiriencencing, heck in my old model I even had that piece of information be the 1 piece of information the pure-consiousness gave to our mind, without making this realisation! All consiousness is reducible to information, by tnot all information is reducible to consiousness, therefore consiousness is just a type of information, albeit a Weird one that dossent behave like other types of information and May be kinda useless! Maybe consiousness actually IS An emergent property of minds, and actually biologically evolved along with minds and wareness of soroundings! If consiousness is reducible to the mind, and the mind is reducible to the brain, then maybe the hard.problem of consiousness has finally been solved/dismissed, and has been revealed to be merely a combination of the easy-problems!

  5. In my opinion, we are not even close to creating artificial consciousness. It most likely involves new physics or new applications of existing physics. A computer can be reduced to a state machine that goes through a series of states over time. Each state is composed of a pattern of switches and electrical activity moving through the pattern. There is no reason to think that more and more complex patterns of changing switches and electrical activity through the circuits will all of a sudden become self aware. Imagine a computer where states are defined with blocks instead of switches and the computer goes through a series of block configurations over time. There is no reason to think that certain changing block configurations would all of a sudden have subjective experience. It could be that the brain acts as an interface that generates and shapes "mind" (consciousness) perhaps in some type of field or in space-time geometry, etc. The interface may depend on highly specialized molecular complexes within neurons

  6. Colours is interesting because I had a colour blind boyfriend and he definitely had a different experience of red and green. He learned that this was what people called red, and this green, and he'd guess which one it was.His favourite colours, when asked, were blue and yellow, out of blue, yellow and brown. He could not see orange or purple either because they contain red and green. I made the mistake of buying him a red on green, sports car beach towel. Obviously it wasn't a hit.

  7. 😂😂😂😂😂attention 😂😂😂😂😂 and systems don’t make consciousness …….. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 what the fuck goes well in the world and six seconds no phone, just sprinter brain an atoms….. when you are looking for consciousness inside the brain, you won’t find it…

  8. @0:20 : No, we haven't measured every single neuron in the human brain, and we most definitely haven't trained machines to "think like us". Let's turn down the awe-struck Carl Sagan channelling to 60 percent, TARS.

  9. So basically we're not anywhere closer to anything since the Greek were having philosophical toss offs and all we have to show for the time that separates us is blue…. Well I'll just go throw myself out a window…they didn't even have tech!! 🤣 Wait until the majority realises that we don't act, we react 😂 I'll wait for y'all at the ledge 😊

  10. The elephants are not just painting on their own, their handlers are next to them and dictate every stroke of the brush by tugging on the elephants ears and trunk which dictates which direction the elephant will move the brush.

  11. For the colour red: ‘passion’ was definitely the right word, but so was ‘rage’ and ‘love.’ Love and hate are two sides of the same coin; whether you’re furious or starstruck, that’s all passion and red is a near perfect reflection of that passion.

  12. What Descartes said has no freaking sence. I (why do you assume there is an I?) Think (what do you mean?) Therefore I (again, why do you assume there is an I?) am. It is like explaining gravity by gravity.

  13. This is just getting dumber and dumber. You do not even exist, there is only i that exists because i see things from my perspective. Everything else is just condensed energy that reacts to my being…

  14. Wow. I've been looking for info about this for a very very long time that specifically says what you have stated so eloquently in this little film.

    Thank you. I am glad that there are many others who "get it".
