If you look at a single neuron in the human brain, says anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, you’ll find that it is much more complicated than a simple on-off switch, the kind that computer scientists are using in their attempts to build artificial intelligence. And even if they could mimic the interconnectedness of the neurons in the human brain, they would be hard-pressed to recreate actual human consciousness. For that, you would need a mechanism that connects you to the fundamental spacetime geometry of the universe.
This universal approach to consciousness depends, in large part, upon quantum mechanics. In classical physics, you see a separation between basic units like protons, neutrons and quarks. But when you view the universe through a quantum lens, the separation, the void, drops away. Underlying everything is the fundamental spacetime geometry that makes it possible for the universe to exhibit consciousness.

Stuart Hameroff why would you want to store accumulated conscious human experience twice? (via quantum information or digital encoding to media)? That would just allow for more security / quality of in-human experience mishaps (like nonpurposeful intermodulation and crosstalk w/without odd-order harmonic distortion being accessible to the newborn hInstance. I already have hundreds of "common knowledge among doctors" examples of children in a specific country having near perfect and linear recall of one (and sometimes more) "previous" pass in physical life on big blue. I can usually transparently mute it from their UIB by age 5 or so but lets not make my job even more difficult as compensation via "money" is of course of no value to me since EVERYTHING I instanced here for cannot be bought with earned money (ethical nonjudgmental nonbackstabbing infinitely trustable ultra wide experiential load-balancing-enabled bandwidth friends is one example); Also i take it you've never engaged in learning while under purposeful dissociative anesthesia (via hippocampal CA3 NMDA receptor antagonism such as that which can be obtained by professional species architects by taking p.o dextromethorphan hbr)
THE CAT IS CONSCIOUS AND THE CAT COLLAPSES IT'S OWN WAVE FUNTION!
mindblowing concepts,hope stuart is right
Can anyone answer please? If the quantum information of our 'memories' continue on after death somewhat, in the universe at large, what about the sense of self, the "I am". Basically, will I still be me, and more importantly, will I be "aware" it's me after death, OR will the memories just dissipate into the universe, simply reduced to a stream of data/information?
An anesthesiologist tells us that human consciousness, that black unicorn, cannot be an everyday and banal phenomenon but must be even more complex than that of the fruit fly, which makes it logical that it should be connected to the fundamental spacetime geometry of the universe – sounds irresistible, I dig it.
Human delusionality must then stem from an entirely different dimension in n-space. Ah, desire… we will and must always try to shed reality for something that allows us to see ourselves as the true creators of everything. In the end the human being will doubtlessly prove to himself that he and he alone designed the universe by the sheer powers of his ethereal thought processes. Primates do not exist, Gurus reign forever.
Great talk.
Perhaps the zero point condition IS the multiverse where myriad Creations or Universes emerge. The Multiverse hyper-symmetry linear geometry somehow breaks linear symmetry and becomes non-linear.super-symmetry i.e spaceness and the vectors of time. Source particles of self-consciousness and electromagnetic plasma as fractal chaos. What we call the big bang.
Multiverse before time exists yet pervading the whole universe is what we refer to as God the absolute with consciousness, the Godhead and quantum flux the so-called original male and female aspects..
I think there is some wishful thinking here and skepticism would be wise…but the potential is based on sound science.
this approach is promising. the main thing i'm at the moment not very satisfied is it put too much confidence in space-time geometry(although i like the idea to correlate consciousness with universe and its structure and even think it's probably the only right way) and so far it still sounds too far-fetched to explain everything about consciousness here.
Is he proposing that when you die you retain all your memories, or not?
I Favor his approach on the subject and I am happy to hear that it lines up with my inner feeling on the matter of spirituality c];-D
I feel like he's taking a lot of poetic liberties here. I even suspect a noble lie.
I want to see the clash of his ideas with Sam Harris or Dennet! I hink Stuart is in the right track
17:51 "influenced by this platonic wisdom"… could someone elaborate this in detail?!
I thought it had to do with the gravitational field of the particles (london forces, they are called – I guess)
Stuart is a smart guy and also looks the sort of dude that would kick your ass in a biker bar while guns n roses was playing on de jukebox
Despite the reluctance of the scientific mainstream community, the evidence for the filter theory of consciousness is growing, first described by F.W.H. Myers, and William James, two great scientific thinkers who were ahead of their time. For those who would like to know more on the subject matter, I highly recommend reading Irreducible Mind~ Toward a Psychology for the 21st Century
Brilliant.
I want to know why I was born as me and in the time ? why am I me and not as someone else?
The best is what brings your consciousness into existence There are three possibilities to our existence, and one that we can easily neglect. That being that it is a mega-seismic coincedence that we have come to being. The other two, that we were determined to live, meaning that our parents were destined to meet. Or that our bodies are mere avatars, inhabited by a soul that is infinite, reincarnating itself, after death, into other beings that are cosmically random in their coming-to-existence.
I believe the latter is the most likely, as ludicrous as it might sound; it does seem to be the most explicable.
I think claiming the chances of being born is 1 i.e it is certain. Assuming identity is tied down to a particular sperm fertilizing a particular egg, then this claim is surely transparently false. For example my parents might never have met. How could it be the case therefore that the chance of me being born is 1
hmmm
Mind is not real.Period.
What did the hungry Buddhist say when he entered the burger joint?………….Make Me One With Everything 😉
Some persons ( french Dr Jean Pierre Jourdan ) saids, with theory Orch-OR, an IRMf would result in a loss of conscouisness because of the swap in the atoms ( not very sure of the sentence )
It's good to see a new interview with this great man
Indeed, from nothing, arose everything.
