I’m quite convinced through direct experience that virtually everything is Universal Cosmic Consciousness. Please start by reading “The Tao of Physics” by Fritjof Capra.

[AndyLeeSWE]

I can definately recommend the full episode!

As Aldous Huxley stated"The brain is a reducing valve for the soul/spirit."

[dabass]

I like Julian Janes' theory "the Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind".

I don't know about you guys, but I'm just happy to be along for the ride.

Fantastic interview. Drs. Hameroff and Penrose achieved an astounding synergy

[gdr]

At around 9 minutes in, Mr Hameroff uses the unintentionally relevant wording of 'gut feeling'. This is a real action/activity that takes place in humans. Are we intuitively understanding that processing involved with consciousness also takes place in places away from the brain? Does our body become a system-of-systems by incorporating the universe-interacting capabilities of billions of other organisms? Mr Wolfram has stated that complexity comes from the interaction of large numbers of simple systems.

This topic runs and runs. Great discussion..more please

So how exactly does the collapse of quantum curvatures create consciousness. That's the important missing part.

[ViktorSarge]

I think these short clips are a great idea. This was really interesting and I'll plan time to watch the full episode. But without seeing this first it would probably have looked too long.

Very happy to see that the most popular comments here are making the case that matter arises in consciousness, and not that consciousness somehow arises from matter. Why would one suppose that that what appears in consciousness somehow creates what observes it? And to go even further, why should your thoughts be trusted to understand what you are? Your thoughts do not speak for you. They may speak but they speak for no one. What you are cannot be understood by thought because thought arises within you, and what arises within cannot understand what is without--though "without" and "within" are both concepts that arise in the mind and are therefore limited to it. When a decisive awakening comes, this is clear, and then thoughts can stop pretending to be more than they are.

Conciousness comes from source. The universe is one thing, and that thing can be called god, source, prime creator, so on and so forth. But it’s all the same thing. There is no such thing as separation, only identity. The all is the one expressing itself in infinite ways. (Yes, YOU are god). And you are a citizen of eternity. Enjoy!

"Computers were new to me back then in the 70s" 😂😂😂

[Slaman]

Awesome Idea man!
Taking some of your past content I did not even know about is epic!
If you could curate some of your content that is "moving" in the emotional or spiritual or cognitive sense that would be awesome! Maybe that is what someone who wanted to learn what u do could do to find their way into this field which really needs good people to assist AI and other truly next level concepts!
¡Muy Beuno!

i remember when you were at 200k subs!!! great job brother

[mysticder]

Great episode! I think Hameroff is going to make a big impact with his work.

[DTSkywatch]

Is there a term for equating technological properties to biological ones? Such as how people have an ides the brain works like a computer, when we may just be projecting our current technological advancements onto biology. Sort of anthropomorphic but thats not the right word so is there one for how we project our current tech understandings onto biology whether its true or not?
Tried to look it up but none of the results seemed right.

Edit: i guess technopomorphism could work in a pinch

[DJWESG]

I believe my post on your community section covers this. I left it open for anyone to take up.

[e.beatszczygielska]

Dziękuję za język polski, doceniam, pozdrawiam serdecznie Sercem ❤

Penrose-Hameroff theory. I know of Roger Penrose, but I always wondered why it had Hameoff in it. Thank you for your work sir.
