It’s not just in the brain even our cells have consciousness; they’re not attached to the brain or nerves or any type of signaling but they pass along they same history of the previous cell and know exactly what to do and what not to do. Our whole body is conscious
We drive cars without thinking. Our motor abilities are not restricted to the set of bodies that our ancestors have been controlling. Jaron Lanier, I am surprised you did observe that in your VR experiments.
We definitely live in a time where we think we know the majority of what there is to know, which is hilarious because we haven’t even scraped the surface.
I don't think the title is accurate of the discussion. This dreadlock guy is a disciplined duelist, which means, I guess since he didn't actually talk about consciousness, that he thinks mind is something separate from the brain. It may be true, in the sense that anything could be true, but why add an extra step when we still don't know how the brain works.
The brain is an abstraction that appears within your consciousness. It isn't real because it is out there. And we know that out there is some type of illusion. Even measuring the process of a hallucination we are simply measuring abstractions within the void of consciousness. In this model we cannot know anything. The phone in my hand, these two gentleman and all of the sensations correlated are all objects within this dream like experience. High dose tryptamines reveal more layers to this experience, if one is willing to do the work, and pierce through with tenacious force of illusion. Bless all those on a path of inquiry, and all those who are not.
the mere fact that consciousness can be altered by external factors(chemical or otherwise), should be a clear pointer that, the consciousness itself is an abstraction of a physical process, or better said billions of physical processes. so if you can't be sure of what you're holding, you could always ask somebody, to make sure ;)
@@danielpaulson8838 exactly - so one of the first things I was taught on my accelerated motorcycle training course was "Don't look at that bolt in the middle of the road!" What I mean about the bike going where we think is that when you strap on the bike, so to speak, your mind is so in tune with your senses that where you think you want to go is where your looking is directed.
@@Slarti Some years back I was mountain bike racing. They had a goofy, double negative saying to remember that concept. Especially in technical sections where your line was critical the term was, "Don't look where you don't want to go". (You hit what you fixate on) I don't race anymore but the lesson stuck. It even broadened out to the more nebulous idea that not just in high risk wheeled activities, but in life itself, our success and experiences tend to unfold based on where our attention remains. Cool. We share that same lesson.
***** }Good answer! Thank you! But please realize that we are just looking with our microscopes at letters and pages but don’t see the writer of the book. As well as a book in whole. We can explain how the brain works (according to your metaphor: we analyze the structure of letters, the tilt and color of pages). I think there must be someone who wrote this book but we are matted with typography.
Sir, you are not interested in consciousness, you are interested in self-consciousness, and self-consciousness is a construction out of more basic distinctions. It is a learned ability and we are all in the process of developing it more and more. Basic consciousness requires that there is an observer and objects to observe.
I've watched him since the days when he was wiring up a Nintendo Power Glove to an Amiga, and playing with a virtual duck in a box. Or was that in a different Universe?
The world needs more people like Jaron.

Yoda and Chewie having a philosophical conversation 😊
🤔
Love the comment about how it's fashionable in our era to think we have it all wrapped up when we really don't. That was very well said.

That dude has some sweet locks
I've never seen hair so long.
The most extreme manspreading ever

Low volume yo
The volume is so low....
Next video will surely blow my speakers If I fail to adjust lol
Hey Jon, whens the next korn album coming out?

why is "discipline dualism" not anything you can read about online?

@@georgeniculescu are those even physical processes? To the core everything is energy grids functioning at high incredible speeds
This is why riding a motorbike is really more about 'wearing' a motorbike. The bike goes where you think rather than you thinking about how to ride.
Slartibartfast so like they tell Nascar drivers dont look at the wall?
You go in the direction you look.

audio is very bad
Since he doesn’t understand he ignores it.
I want to eat mushrooms and have a heart to heart chat with this guy
Yes the brain makes consciousness, . . .and for some reason it's also come up with things like "Taco Bell"
Consciusness makes brain work
SuperLeonti Or brains make consciousness work.
And sometimes alcohol makes neither work.
I wonder where is your evidence for that.
***** Simple thing: can someone explain me the pain or love?
Or you want to tell me that these are only the molecular processes in my brain?

which is what he's exploring ;)
why in the hell is this guy talking about conciousness? No qualifications what so ever. Stick to video games dude

Seems like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it?!?
what makes us conscious? The brain.
He nodes like Elon musk
This guy doesn't look Conscious! 😂😂😂😂😂
He looks like he's got stumpy T Rex arms.He needs to be working on uploading his consciousness because that body of his ain't gonna last much longer.
Creepy guy
Are you scared by new ideas? It's okay, they don't bite.
Not at all. Old-school-hacker guy with an alternative look. That was part of the 90s style hacker culture.
