1. The human brain is pretty amazing, right? Let us know which questions you'd like us to answer next!

2. If conscious is in our brain, and we are experiencing our own bodies. And our bodies are illusions. Then conscious is an illusion. But how could something create something out of nothing

3. My ass. Question answered 😘

4. This actually made me think about something. If your entire body was destroyed and then perfectly replicated, would your consciousness "transfer over", or would you simply be gone and have a being which thinks it's you?

5. isnt it weird that the brain is trying to figure itself out haha

6. Yes but how did consciousness begin?

7. Study the quantum world. We are that. Eternal.

8. Maybe consciousness is related to dark energy.

9. Anytime I hear "We're closer than ever to understanding (fill in the blank)" I instantly know that we're nowhere close to understanding (fill in the blank).

10. Much like the example of if a robot were to claim having consciousness, the only way you would find out if it is false is to look in the code. If there is no code telling the robot to have/pretend to have consciousness then it obviously does have it. What if we are the same? What if we cant find it because we are it??

11. Try prove that the universe we live in is each of our own universe, and that all of us still live in the same space within God, cus that is whats going on lol

12. Scientists can’t figure out what allows you to figure out things. Trying to understand consciousness will always have them going in circles. Trying to figure it out is like trying to go faster than the speed of light.

13. So watching this long vid..the answer is no one knows…Robots/humanoids/Ai is just a mimic of human consciousness..keep studying

14. I’d say the proof that only humans have any kind of consciousness is the fact that only humans are capable of self destruction and malice.

    No animal goes around destroying its own without reason, or killing for the sake of killing. Everything the animal does is for the sake of its own life, and nothing more purely instinctive.

    I believe that this is one thing that scientists will have to throwaway their preconceived notions about God of they ever hope to truly understand what consciousness is.

15. If Conciousness=awareness then there has to be a conscious person in order to be "aware" of anything. Conciousness and awareness do not exist without a subject. The univers is inanimate, it is not objectively aware of itself

16. What if people were created by the universe to try and solve the problems it can’t even figure out by itself… hence giving us consciousness so that each human takes a different path to finding pieces of the puzzle that the universe wants to know. So basically we are intel minions

17. We gain conciousness from oxygen without oxygen the brain is dead be careful what state of conciousness you breathe in

18. I like the way that consciousness is being explored, but there is one very big flaw in the way it is being explored. It is being assumed that every single human is a conscious being, when in fact, most humans are just soulless beings (philosophical zombies). They are basically robots who don't actually have any experience of consciousness. The estimate is that the ratio is 1 to 5000 of souls to no souled people.

19. I pray that I have good consciousness

20. It is a nesting if then else structure.

21. What is experiencing this life with all these emotions ,,,your brain

22. I'm a computer programmer. This give me a unique insight into the nature of consciousness. To me, consciousness is a very simple thing to understand. In my opinion, consciousness is an elementary process in the brain that always tries to resolve 2 questions. 1) What is going on? This is analogous to input(s). 2) What should I do? This is analogous to output(s). There are sub-processes in each stage but the sequence of these questions(stages) repeat continuously all the time while we live. Consciousness also continues while we sleep. The biggest difference between awake and sleeping is that the brain is deprived of most of our senses and the loop time of these two stages is much longer.

    On the first question "What is going on?", our brains try to make sense of all the available senses(touch, taste, etc.). The brain also uses it's memories and it's reasoning in this stage.
    
    On the second question "What should I do?", our brains try to form a response to the first question. One of the main sub-questions to be resolved in this stage is "what is most important at this time". A decision is made like rest or run or talk about something.

23. Worst boring video..It seems ure reading a script blah blah ..

24. What if, like robots, our own brain is programmed, but we are programmed enough to have the illusion of consciousness. Maybe one day this could be tested with a robot programmed and given an illusion of their own consciousness.

25. Fascinating. Still doesn't answer what triggers conscience. Tell me where the beginning of conscience begins prior to where a bio-chemical reaction occurs…attempt that, I'll be impressed.

26. You know how we have ears? And our ears pick up noise and if our ears don’t work then we can’t hear noise, but that doesn’t mean the noise doesn’t exist right? Same with our brains, if our brains die doesn’t mean our consciousness does.
