1. Imagine spending 15 minutes per day reading or listening to the summary of one or more interesting books instead of browsing the internet aimlessly – hard, I know, but now you can do that for free by getting a 1-week trial over at https://www.blinkist.com/sciencephile

2. …going to sleep and waking up is not the same thing as being molecularly disassembled and a copy of you being reform somewhere else. Very different things

3. The brain is a name that the brain gave itself

4. So you are saying there is a alien in my skull

5. So you are.

6. Yeah teleporters…. They secretly kills you at least that was on my mind

7. I die everyday

8. This AI just answered a question that scientists couldn't find an answer for.

9. The consciousness being a hallucination of the brain doesn’t make sense to me when people learn subjects that are not within ones own benefit for survival. Why do we study topics that have no practical application in life? I guess people would say the natural curiosity factor made in humans to find food sources having no application in your life so it manifests itself in learning different subjects like quantum physics which rarely has practical application. That raises the question as to why we would manifest these base drives in different ways.

10. imma sleep now and let the new consciousness think about all that stuff

11. 5:39 I was thinking about this like years ago, but when you said this im really scared

12. Plsss plsss am I???

13. These are the questions that I want to know answers too but won't because we're just making everything up in our brain.

14. So that’s why I Don’t remember The very important thing that I was thinking about

15. 4:20 nice outfit

16. Shit, I had general anesthesia andbit felt like a long sleep, i open my eyes and I didn't have the feeling of " passed time", could be from the drugs because I was also feeling drowsy, but this video had me overthinking it… God damn

17. "decisions are taken a split moment before you become aware that you have made them"
    my brain is outraged

18. Don't lie to me I'm a KIDNEY!

19. I have discober this channel and I love it

20. You don't have free will, for example, you wouldn't go out of your way to do something that's against the law, unless you're motivated to do so. You don't just wake up one day and be like oh the weather is nice today, let me steal a airplane and visit North Korea.

21. so awareness is like a ram process that starts with the machine when its turned on and stops when its shutdown, that could explain why people have broken logic when they are not fully awake, their awareness is "not fully set" so it processes reality in a slight different way, like trying to piss in the trash can instead of the toilet

22. I don't know why, but this is actually oddly relieving to me for some reason ":|

23. But dad- my lord… Why am I my conciousness if my brain manages everything? All of my experiences and memories are stored in my brain. All my emotions, feelings and thoughts are the result of my brain working. The way I react to things I feel, see, smell, hear and taste are again determined by my brain. Wouldn't it make more sense of my conciousness was a by-product of my brain (aka me)? Something that helps me realise and understand.. stuff?

    Note: I am merely curious, I do not mean to question you, my lord.

24. How many times have I died?

25. As a purely observational system, consciousness would be of biological benefit, not neutrality. Conscious observation would be a computational loop of decision-control. The observational aspect is the reprocessing of decisions made plus the relevant context prompting the decision made. The usefulness is the adaptation/self-correction of decision-making to improve decisions in future situations. One might ponder why this requires a conscious experience; I have to say I think that consciousness is nothing more than the reoccurring assessment of prior processesing, which is where self-awareness derives. Then there's the question of why the consciousness feels in control; the brain processes information and makes a decision, then the consciousness processes that information, which includes the decision being made. There would be no meaningful way to subjectively distinguish between a consciousness making a decision and a consciousness observing a decision. Why then has psychology determined that our brains make shit up? It is probably already a relatively costly process to reprocess the happenings of the brain's computation. The brain cannot reprocess the complete context of all computational processes, or else the brain would get stuck in an infinite loop of deeper and deeper levels of simulation of simulation, rather than operating on incoming information from the senses. In order for reprocessing to be useful, the brain must make shortcuts, simplifications, approximations. This is why you don't consciousnessly experience an extremely detailed, number-heavy representation of the world. But in order to improve decision-making, the brain must make statistical associations with happenings. These are the incorrect, incomplete "reasons" for actions and decisions. The brain uses a system of simplified reasons for it's own decisions as abstract stand-ins for the more complex circumstances and underlying mechanisms that lead to the decision made, then it does some quick calculations on those abstract stand-ins to gain a statistical insight into its own decision-making to thus improve. Consciousness is the essence emergent from a self-evaluation of a simplified context of the constant input-output system that is the brain. What else is intuition but the conscious observation of an effect of unconscious computation?

    Is consciousness purely observational or is there some amount of control? I'm not sure, but I have to say that the closest form of real conscious control, would be the focus of awareness. The focus of awareness is the most powerful tool of consciousness in influencing the flow of consciousness and decision-making. That is, focus intensely on the awareness of your appearance of control over focus and direct it toward something particular: there you have the closest to pure conscious control of self. Will your focus. But once you have a focus willed with extreme intensity, there is the requirement of release over conscious direction of focus to an "interactive" synthesis of conscious and unconscious processes to manifest the conclusion of the will. That is, once the goal is chosen, one must relinquish control in order to become the process necessary to manifest and accomplish that goal. The choice of goal may be the closest possible to pure conscious control, but the successful accomplishment of the goal requires the natural collaboration of consciousness and unconsciousness.

33. Dude

34. It's almost 5am and I haven't been sleeping well. Maybe you're a hallucination and none of this is real, simply my brain dying from exhaustion.

    Also, big thirsty. Must drink.
