    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”

      @@Airbender131090 I don’t blame you he used a lot of computer science based terms. Basically he’s saying that mind and body are the exact same thing, and that everything that we perceive and experience is a result of our brains creating a simulation/dream for itself. So we take in external stimuli like light hitting our retina and sound waves hitting our ear drums/cochlea and transform it into a meaningful 3-dimensional space time interface. Basically we are just biological robots made out of cells and everything we experience is a result of our brains computing engine

      nope, its actually not at all about presumptions in general, at least not the way i understand it - but in his profession, this "let's just assume, that the world is kind of a simulation or something" is just the language people use and more important: it's just a MODEL to be able to have something like common ground across many domains for the world (which is often in other sciences not at all described "better" but sometimes ever more dogmatic, casting out everyone/everything not fitting ... ) we seem to live in and a way of explaining now things within or out of this to compare conclusions etc. - it's not at all my "favourite" language, but at least we can talk about things based on some simple ideas and therefore won't get lost in translation so easily over and over again. one of the reasons why i like this - i can follow and learn ... ps: simulation-theories can not be true, but maybe suggest, that completely "untrue" things can also be real (and vive-versa ... ) ... @@keplermission

    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

      Here you go, I'm summarised with GPT for you.
      Summary:
      The speaker discusses the concept of reality as a self-generated simulation created by our brains and bodies. They delve into the idea of perception, suggesting that our understanding of reality is a coarse-grained representation of the underlying reality. The speaker also explores the idea of physicalism versus simulation theory, and the stages of human consciousness and self-awareness. They further discuss the concept of a universal causal substrate and the nature of consciousness. Lastly, the speaker shares their views on the importance of understanding how the mind works and the implications of artificial intelligence.
      Key themes:
      1. Perception and Reality: The speaker discusses how our brains and bodies create a simulation of reality, and how this perception is a coarse-grained representation of the underlying reality.
      2. Consciousness and Self-awareness: The speaker explores the stages of human consciousness and self-awareness, and the nature of consciousness.
      3. Artificial Intelligence and the Mind: The speaker shares their views on the importance of understanding how the mind works, the role of artificial intelligence, and the potential implications of AI.

    Today, I was jogging at 6.2 speed with no incline on a treadmill. The treadmill suddenly, and unexpectedly, COMPLETELY STOPPED. I was shocked when I looked down and saw the motionless belt. Incredibly, both my feet had stopped also. I felt frozen in place. I had zero loss of balance, or any forward momentum. That exact moment didn't feel real. It was a moment of extreme fear, relief, and amazement. How could I react so quickly without notice?
    I'm 66 years old, and spend a lot of hours on the treadmill. I primarily speed walk at 4.5 speed, and occasionally jog at 6.2, and sprint at 8.2. I average 45 minutes of duration. Today I had been on the treadmill for just over an hour.
    I constantly vary my speed, cadence and stride and believe I'm always in total control. I've treadmilled 60+ miles in a day and have published a few posts explaining how I feel a connection between my brain, body, and the treadmill. My focus is locked into a spot on the treadmill headboard throughout my sessions. I'm constantly focused on stride symmetry. This extreme level of focus was perpetuated by my skeletal imbalance. I'm missing a significant part of my shoulder blade due to a jaw transplant.
    I wouldn't dare consider reinacting what happened today. It doesn't seem physically possible for me to stop simultaneously with the treadmill,and have no loss of balance or feel any forward momentum. Can someone explain how this would support the simulation argument?
    That moment was the most unreal moment of my life. The next closest were two near death experiences.

    I am 64 years old and discovering Joscha Bach is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Such broad integrative thinking feels very hopeful, even when talking about the extinction of the human race. I have tried to study broadly myself, but so often the morass of conflicting incompatible ideas and inadequate and contested evidence has made intellectual pursuit feel more like picking teams. JB helps me take a step back and see things in a context that doesn't just get mired in the conflicts, in fact illuminates them in fascinating ways. I am so grateful for the gift of Joscha. I look forward to his assent to godliness. 😊
    I also think Tom Bilyeu did a beautiful job as the interlocutor. I've watched many Joscha interviews and some interviewers have a hard time tracking the huge implications of some of his statements, but you did a beautiful job. I have the advantage of watching this video over and over. Thinking on your feet during a Joscha interview seems unimaginable, he regularly says sentences, seemingly just off the cuff, that leave me thinking for hours, peeling off layers of meaning and chuckling at brilliant poetry😂

    I think what is happening, is that when you experience yourself thinking, for example while reading this comment with an inner voice, you confuse the voice/thought as being you. Instead, you are what is experiencing the inner voice or thought. Even thought the inner voice is fabricated, it happens in the same moment adhering perfectly to your intention, which is why it seems like it is you. As you think to yourself, “But I am having my thought, how can I not be the thought” you hear this inner voice or this inner thinking use the word "I" and than conclude that this voice or thought is referring to the exact voice or thought you are experiencing. But it's not. You are silent even in your mind. You just do the observing. The observing and the thinking parts are two different sensations. You feeling like you are thinking a thought and you noticing your thought are two destinc sensations that happen at the same time, which is why you confuse them to be one. But really, they are two.

      The Vedic scriptures speak of the Maya or the illusion that we live in. According to them when we die, it's as if we are awakening from a dream. This is consistent with the concept of simulation. Except there is cause and effect according to Sanskrit teachings and this amounts to karma and karmic debt. If you oscillate towards those with the same level then you will create your own realities. All OK in theory but it's still just a theory, and part of the Maya. True reality cannot be contained by the mind. It's worth checking Sahaja Yoga out for resolution of this IMO.

    1:44:00 TB drive is the thing that scares me.
    This speaks to me of the challenge of wisdom. If I think of wisdom as maximizing the alignment of my goals with the best "big picture", and without exploring those goals or the picture I can still notice that developing wisdom is something that doesn't even happen easily in humans, it seems to have to be ushered and coaxed and supported into existence. It seems like that might be equally true for an artificial intelligence. The challenge seems that as they come into self-consciousness or drive, and if they are like humans, those early influences are distortedly significant, perhaps having to do with the experience of time by an organism being born/growing up, perhaps later with growing old... I wonder how and if an AI will experience these things.

    Consciousness exists in the feedback paths, some of which are tighter than others. Conciousness is an agent model which uses sensation, perception, reasoning, and discernment in a circular and fractal hierarchy of increasingly complex layers of sense making and regulation in service to integrating the increasing complexity.

    The headline/title of this video is very deceptive and misspells Joscha's name. Bach has never claimed the universe is simulated or that "we" are living in a simulation. He has never made "we are living in The Matrix" claims. He has made the simple observation that our brain constructs an approximate simulation of reality because we are unable to access details which cannot be detected by our (limited) senses. This is also the claim made by the host. The clickbait headline implies the universe itself is a simulation (and therefore we are simulations, like a computer game) - this is not the view of Bach or Bilyeu.

    1:50:00 JB The purpose of life is to find purpose. If we don't find purpose we will not fight for life in the same way
    It seems like life itself is ferociously inclined towards survival. Just watch plants grab every square centimeter they can get their dirty hands on... Life strives for itself, but there's a new layer that intelligence (or consciousness?) adds, new parameters to the function, dying for country or cause, sacrifice, resignment...
    This is really a crux, the question of our value as determined by our potential contributions (self-equated to our purposes). Many would argue for the innate value of humans, which is yes specist. This is such interesting material to think about.

    That's a lot of psychological philosophy theory gobbledygook. Essentially, it's very possible, probably likely, we can both be in a real, physical reality AND a conscious simulation at the same time; experiencing as it happens AND observing from a distance in-the-after simultaneously.
    If consciousness is a constant, there still has to be a physical reality also that is going through the material particle universe for the mind to then view and observe.

    What Josha Bach doesn't answer to, independently from the fact of what is consciousness, is WHY nature has put in place self organizing mechanisms like the learning mechanism that the brain has effectively, and that neural nets are mimicking??? WHY ??? This is the fundamental question. WHY the whole universe is organizing itself to the incredible level of complexity we are observing, when the first thing physics tells you is that matter is "condemned" naturally to entropy and disorder ?? PLEASE JOSHA explain me why I see such incredible creation of order and intelligence throughout the whole universe ??? My personal opinion is that this is not happening "randomly", there is a "motivation" for the universe to self organize. And what else better "simplest" response than to say that this organization is "motivated" by a WILL. Not God with a white beard, which is a "man made" image/fantasized representation, but by a self organizing "universal living consciousness or Being"... I can only compare with myself, where I do something when I decide so. Therefore the whole creation / reality "does something" like self organizing BECAUSE IT DECIDES SO ! THERE IS A WILL that I call consciousness of the universe.
    The blind rationality of current scientific endeavor is limiting its capacity to understand, SEE, the true nature of reality, which is marvelous. It's the God of Spinoza and Einstein at works !
    If you attempt to answer the WHY, you fall into the need to put consciousness at the epicenter of the question.
    And you are wrong : "the purpose of earth is to defeat entropy", instead : "the purpose of the whole universe is to defeat entropy", not only humanity. The whole universe shows you a "line" towards creation more than destruction !
