What is consciousness and why can’t science explain it?
This full consciousness documentary marathon explores the hard problem of consciousness, the science of awareness, and the philosophy of mind in one uninterrupted sitting.
You are conscious right now. You know that. But can you explain how? Neither can science. Despite decades of neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology converging on this single question, consciousness remains the one phenomenon that resists every explanation we throw at it. The moment you try to examine it directly, something strange happens — it slips away, like trying to see your own eyes without a mirror.
This marathon is an uninterrupted journey into that strangeness. We’ll start with why consciousness is so fundamentally difficult to study, move through the entire spectrum of conscious experience, and arrive somewhere most people aren’t ready for — the possibility that consciousness isn’t produced by reality. It might be reality. Set aside two hours. This one changes how you see everything.

20:00 it's like I am my own ancestor when I grow up.
Schemas reminds me of morphic resonance
thinking doesn't matter😅
I love the content but maybe dial back on the ads. By the time I got past the hour mark, I was getting ads every 3 mins that were actually longer than this video itself.
1:44:39 js woke up to my own philosophy, not necessarily mine but something ive been thinking about alot as of recent time, we're all js the earth circulating through itself, we become an individual exist for a while then cease to be that individual after some time but what make me a person doesnt js vanish it js goes back to the earth to be recycled as something else, who knows how many different people im composed of in a technical sense they're all still here just not whole but we never really leave here
Enjoying the ride ✌🏽
I am pretty sure i know what consciousness is, but i will listen to this video telling me i know nothing about it and explain it to me
To figure out consciousness we need it's opposite, maby it's part of our awakening.
I dont think ive ever come across a more interesting channel, every video is mind blowing
Red is: intense. Hot and metallic. Uncomfortable, squirming, and sharp.
Just go into Buddhism and you'll find out.
I do not believe in religion but I do believe in life after death. I have always felt that consciousness black holes in space and life after death all have one thing in common. They cannot be observed. There’s some connection between them.
Red = Intense
Mind-blowing stuff on consciousness!
Everything in my existence derives from my brain . That's cray
y am I not able to understand anything from this video, but I really want to understand
Red=Anger
Anger
Red is stop and collect data. Maybe because of stop signs.
Red is eat. Definitely from red Naugahyde booths in ol’ timey steakhouses.
33:12 i think with red there's a fine line between rage and passion. So i guess my interpretation of red would depend on its context.
I am definitely not the same person I was 5 years ago. This is a good thing bc if I was, then it would mean I haven't learned from the things that have happened during those 5 years. It's like going to school to be a doctor for 8+ years and saying I have the same understanding, knowledge, and outlook on the human anatomy after graduating as I did when I began school. That isn't any kind of doctor I would want to go to.
Bruh, get a new speaker. Wtf she just woke me up 2 mins in
.
Why does this video remind me of Randy’s cooking skit from the South Park
The language thing I experience, 2 different ways to explain the same thing is a Spectrum Disorder characteristic
Stop with those annoying flickering noises on your videos…It keeps waking me up
😊🙏
Consciousness is so mind-bending.
The creepy slow vocal fry breathing words makes this hard to listen to.
Consciousness exists because of resonating and resignation is God you can follow it through the walls of Jericho that book story in the Bible look into it frequency of 30s from the horn the zeros representation of resignation. God is resignation and then a higher consciousness all three of those basically are one then you have holy Spirit which is your body's natural cymatic frequency which is based on where you are born and the astrology sign then you have your body's natural either field which is reference to melatonin carbon 13 and hydrogen 16
If you think of a human being as simply a living Organism, which is a vast collection of organized individual organisms, it needs a central processing solution, The illusion of awareness within the Organism serves as the driver, or steering agent of the Organism. Think of it as management. Not very glamorous, And kind of nihilistic, but you know what they say; " Reality doesn't care about your feelings…"
I did not mean to capitalize Organisms so much, I'm using text to speech LOL
How does attention schema explain nde’s, memory stored outside of the brain etc..?
why i can't pin myself on single unit forexample i can't say am conciousness at somepoint it break, we know it mental construction of you like software
Also want to add that this was really good up until the stages of consciousness which got a little to mystical for me. I keep my mind open to all possibilities and I'll admit I'm really bad at quitting my mind for things like meditation so who knows, but I'd need big scientific evidence for stages 4-6.
Consciousness is so mind-boggling!
My biggest question about consciousness is how did I open my eyes as a baby with this consciousness with this body but not as a different baby or not as an animal??
Is there any good books you recommend on consciousness ?
Lol, I lived a majority of my years, basically treating sleep, like it was totally unnecessary and beneath me.. so early on I had a self waged war with sleeping, think Freddy Kruger thoughts, but on a entirely new level..sometimes I would wake up, in mid sentence, having no clue , what Ive said but knowing something was in fact said.. sorta difficult filling in unfinished dialog, when you have no idea what your even supposed to be finishing
Try examining a highly, self aware consciousness, under extreme consistent sleep deprivation… truly is a one of a kind feeling.. too impossible to believe what a human is capable of without total and complete cohehence..
The audacity of some people trying to reduce consciousness to brain activity when we have zero idea what true nature of matter is is irritating to say the least. It's high time we accept that consciousness is the most obvious fact of our life and we have zero idea what matter is made of. Time to think about "the hard problem of matter".
No it's very weird because I associated colour red with both anger and passion when i tried to think of it. Maybe it's because of the burning feeling in both emotions and fire is red?
Red depends on quantity, or intensity.. It's a passion colour, that can at the lower end of the scale signify warmth, comfort.. The warmth of a campfire, the flush of attraction.. Moving up it can be passion, then anger, danger.. Ultimately devastation. Maybe it's to do with blood, a little blood warmed by the fire, raised pressure with passion and anger, the devastation at the end of a slasher movie. A little red as accent can add class, maybe it's leaning on those low red scale feelings of a bit of extra blood (camp fire, the flush of attraction). The red-for-danger feeling is indicating a potential for blood overload, a crash, a violent accident.
And I just ate a 1 day old turkey sandwich
But am I really, because I think?
And another question is: Am I, because I think? Or do I think because I am?
Guys im f*cked
What if its "I am therefore I think." Developing a self model must have been more advantageous than not. Consciousness is neat but I dont see it affecting reality. None of us truly exist. We are "nothing" experiencing "something." When the experience is over we go back to the nothing from where we came. Consciousness is a tool used by matter, but nothing metaphysically special about it.
