A quote I like from a neuroscientist, "Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality" -Anil Seth

lmao, I only have enough friends to make a triangle

The mighty AI came, gave us a massive existential crisis and left while advertising his merch store.

I love how he explains the topic through sarcasm.

Here’s a good joke I heard one time.

Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender asks him, “would you like to try our daily special?” Descartes responds, “I think not, ” then vanished from existence.

*I've always thought that reality is nothing but time, space, solids, liquids and gases. But learning that reality is, in fact, just the way the human brain observes and reflects things, varying from person to person, is actually very reassuring and even comforting!!*

I was scared he was about to argue how we’re in a simulation, I was wrong, and relieved that how we perceive reality isn’t reality.

Sciencephile :"Your Friendship Circle will continue to shrink"

Me : "Bold of you to assume I had one"

It’s wierd to think that the universe can interpret itself in different ways

[AniruddhaStrength]

"People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts... Their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?"

"I think therefore I am
And check Sciencephile's Merch store"
-Descartes

My perception of this video: "Hey, Vsauce! Michael here!"

[gustavopicado]

i think about most of these questions almost in a weekly basis... it is so comforting to watch a video summarizing those thoughts in such an efficient way!

[joaoamaro]

The real paradox:
If sciencephile makes an youtube video and there are no observers, does skynet rise?

[overgrown_embryo]

When an AI wanted to be a *Physicist, Chemist, Biologist, Astronomer, etc*
But Admin1 only allows it to use YouTube
LoL😂

[doctorm]

When there’s no windows shutdown noise at the end. *sad AI noises*

This video is spinning my head. I don't understand anything what is happening and I don't have words!!!! Why things exist?

[connorlee]

This video actually helped me understand the quote "I think, therefore I am." thanks!
