The Math of Consciousness

Physics is not math. No matter how perfect our instrumentation gets, there will always be a gap between the universal truths in mathematics and the observable research. When physicists use math to describe the fundamental nature of matter and energy they run into an impossible problem that requires a leap of faith that's no less giant than the belief in a bearded god dictating the order of the universe.

I think the goal no matter what you look at is to consolidate Infinity to 1 or 0

I ended up rumminutating on that idea that the universe is a sort of loop which at equal parts exists and does not exist, it comes from Hinduism, they say that the universe is created by Sheeva, it las 380 million years and then Sheeva herself destroys it and it falls into non-existences during another 380 million years and so on...

Thank you!

This channel is pure gold.

Thanks for putting this valuable collection of thoughts together.

Very interesting video, i think about theses subjects a lot and my conclusion is that we are inert abd that conscience is an emergent property of sufficiently complex systems. My mind always come to the episode of Futurama where Bender meets God and God is a collection of stars and gases and so on, and it leave me wondering if that are conscience in systems that are to big for us to comprehend.

It's funny you mention Brian Greene at 17min because you sound *exactly* like him.

This entire video is dependent on the idea of the coppenhagen interpretation of quantum physics. If you use any other interpretation, this idea of randomness falls apart

How can god calculate all peoples in this world ? Its possible ?

Side note, I think there is something to be said about the fact that consciousness has the potential to be transcribed through mediums. I also wonder if there are divergent forms of these systems like consciousness, that can be less than, equal to, or greater than the versions we know in terms of all the ways those systems can affect itself and other systems. If consciousness can be written down on a piece of paper, in what ways can that interact with reality? What is our version of consciousness full potential? The path of least resistance always looks like lightning...is our version of consciousness just a small vein in the larger part of that system?

I love this guy, and he also sounds like Stacey from Blark and Son lol

[michaelsage]

Excellent! Great thoughts, keep going please! Gratitude

Consciousness is NOT matter but is the only thing that matters! Consciousness allows random acts of kindness and all the conscious decisions that living things can make.
