Your Future & Reality Will Change Forever: AI, God, Consciousness & Simulation Theory | Joscha Bach

Confusing the distorted version of reality you’ve created in your mind with truth and perception causes people more suffering than most would ever admit to.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by an expert with cognitive science and artificial intelligence, to discuss what you need to know about the self-generated simulation you’ve created and how to ensure you live the life you want, well.

Joscha Bach, is a trailblazing AI researcher reshaping our understanding of mind and universe. Known for his groundbreaking work in cognitive architecture, his revolutionary insights offer a fresh perspective on artificial intelligence. He’s an essential voice in this generation that has grabbed my attention, and will grab yours as well..

In today’s episode Joscha walks through self-generated simulations and the possibilities of humans merging consciousness with artificial intelligence, plus:

-The nature of reality, free will, and consciousness.
-Stages of reality and perception develop your ability to self-control
-AI’s need for desire and goals.

As an artificial intelligence researcher and cognitive scientist, Joscha Bach’s fresh perspectives and insights may send your mind spinning and it may also trigger your flight responses. Bringing you episodes like this, breaks down preconceived notions and creates new opportunities.

Joscha Bach Quotes:

““I think that ultimately this is the main purpose of consciousness, this creation of a coherent reality and the long tail of the creation of this coherence in reality, this our ability to reason and construct.”

“What is our consciousness thought to be related to reality? So that is the first part of that answer. It's basically it's the most important question because it's the one where we have the least of an answer.”

“In biological evolution, it always includes suffering because it means that you will have an organism that is not able to emerge as the existing stuff.”

“If we get consciousness and self-organization, how do we ensure that they want to organize in a way that is in concert with us and not in opposition to us or indifference in a way that obliterates us in the way that we would obliterate plants, trees, bugs, etc.?”

“I think that is ultimately not about maximizing intelligence. It's about maximizing agency..”

Im a simple man, i see a 3hr podcast with Joscha Bach, I watch the whole thing and absorb as much as possible

[NathanTilesTheWorld]

I love this man so much, and love to see him conversing on larger and larger stages. He is in my humble estimation one of the most brilliant minds on the planet.

[DEBO]

Joscha Bach has single handedly answered the following questions:
- who are we?
- what are we?
- what is going on in our perceived reality?
I encourage everyone to watch more videos on him and eventually purchase his book “Principles of Synthetic Intelligence”

My favorite living philospoher by a mile.

I SWEAR the first time I heard Josh Bach I went through a low-key existencial crisis for several days!

I love how Joscha searches for the deepest knowledge of our existence and still is so down to earth and such a compassionate person with both humanity and animals 🙏🏻🤗
Also loved Tom’s little smile when Joscha said this 😊

Joscha's breakdown of insanely profound concepts are much appreciated and Mind Blowing 👀

[PatrickQT]

Joschas cognitive abilities are so far beyond mine that we might as well be a different species.

Thank you for letting your guest talk so eloquently for extended periods of time. I could listen to him for years.

Simulation is modern language for what has been given many terms over the ages, it is just our level of intellect has reached a point where we can push aside enough bias to see it directly. Only a few in the past could see it but now days there are many who see it. It’s the difference between getting stuck in materialism as a fundamental to reality when there are those who have been beyond reality itself. Deconstructing mental constructs back to the only thing that is left in any form of existence at all “awareness/ nothing/ infinity or a singularity” the original mind formed itself from this and imagined everything else. It’s been called illusion, maya, matrix, the creation, the holograph, the larger consciousness system, the main computer, the dream…. And the mind holds it in its consciousness by deceiving itself into believing it is real or a reality. It then forgets what it is and that is what we all are. This same mind. It’s not religion and it’s not science although both try their darned best to describe it. It is existence experiencing itself

Listening to Joscha Bach feels much like trying to read code as a hobbyist programmer.

Don’t get addicted to understanding - develop and deploy

My husband die 8yrs ago and my son passed away 14 days ago he was 17 years old, in May 6 he would of been 18. I sit here trying to make my faith stronger. Death is for body not the soul. These emotions are strong and can hold you in. If the human God is collecting experiences its incredible and i understand why humans go crazy without faith

[starblue]

Thank you Dr. Bach for helping the rest of us become a little more coherent.

The way you process things and experiences is how everything is going to be. You assign meaning to everything around you this is where perspective comes into play; your perspective becomes your reality. Be open to any possibility

[Telencephelon]

This was just awesome. Not just the ping pong with everyone letting each other finish but also the really insightful questions and answers. I've rarely seen much better Joscha podcasts

[agtjx]

I've seen all of Joscha's lectures and read his book. This is the best interview with him. Great job. You're excellent.

[CrowMagnum]

The answer to postmodernism is not a return to modernism, but rather transcending both while retaining an understanding of the value of both perspectives

Awareness of awareness is consciousness

What personal self? Tell me where this personal self is located.
You experience yourself do you. How?
You do not experience yourself, it experiences sensation.
A thought considers sensation as yourself, experiencing itself.
Their are no photons, photons are concepts in thinkng.
Which no one thinks, yet thinking still occurs.
It's a paradox that cannot be explained by a mind. Because a mind believes itself as a separate object existing in time and space, living a life.
All possibilities arise in the thought construct time and space, the possibility that you believe you are you, is one of them.
