    1:30 when he starts explaining how evolution could potentially bottleneck... well evolution; that's really a remarkable insight, i've never realized that something as fundamental as a neuron, once formed and used effectively, would have a very limited mutation compatibility because other systems require it to work a certain way.

      That is interesting. Though arguably Nature has overcome such 'bottlenecks' before, like the limitations of cramming larger human brains into smaller primate size skulls. So Nature reverted to 'Neoteny', and instead borrowed the 'design' of primates at the infant stage, which allows greater skull-to-body-size ratios. And explains why adult humans more closely resemble the infants of gorillas and chimpanzees than the adults.

    If there is such a thing as a soul, then the conscious mind, instincts, emotions, behaviors and sense of self don't seem to be part of it. Those arise from the brain. Idk what's left.

    Some of our cells are bones teeth skin liver nails marrow and some is brain and nerves, evolution chose only the brain cells (and nerves) to be brains because these cells have the capacity of sense pro actively and reactive, the intresting thing is that what makes these brain cells sense and think and not other cells

    I respect his enthusiasm and genius. But there are clearly so many holes in this cluster of imaginary processes formed into a theory that has never been proven. So many questions that are left unanswered and explained away. Still a very interesting video and person

      Exactly most things he says are contradicting honestly some things they are geniuses but also that can a flaw he can’t prove that’s how we were made, or that’s how evolution was. This is all assumptions and theories in all honestly just like he doesn’t believe in God he said before “we’re in a simulation” or something like that. So he also says “if there’s a God who created God” ok that SAME QUESTION goes for his theory if we’re in a simulation, WHO MADE THE SIMULATION. Also if this is a simulation wouldn’t there be an explanation as of how we were made whatever you wanna call our “evolution”?? It doesn’t make sense if we evolved from nature how is it a simulation? That makes 0 sense.

    A 'brain' there is no such thing as 'The' brain.... a brain [singular] is a physical memory of function and experience, thinking has nothing to do with 'a' brain. Meta-physical memory of function and experience is not physical ..The link is memory...
