Great discussion. I'm thumbs up #42 on the video, which as a rumored high powered metaphysician myself, I'm happy to say coincides with Douglas Adams' "answer to everything" number. I love the non-fundamentalist, non-scientism, outside of the box thinking going on here. Luv Goff's take on value and life as agendas of the universe. I might add "being" as a candidate purpose. The Great Is ...giving rise to a panoply of "ises." Isn't there a contradiction in terms in "is not" or "there being nothing?" Those are counterfeit uses of "is" and "being." Perhaps the universe is here to prove, to demonstrate, to manifest, the Great I am-ness, the Great Something (as opposed to nothing), the Great Existence ... demonstrating grandly that nothing (no-thing) is a contradiction in terms.

Very interesting...but there is not much on non-local and collective conciousness. The concious detector is rather cool(and a bit scary) though. The depth of understanding of LLM and microelectronics and biological systems, makes this a highly underrated presentation. ❤👍

There is an experiment which demonstrated collapse of the wave function. It is Coppola and Purves 1996 The extraordinarily rapid disappearance of entoptic images. Purves et al 2015 cited the measurement in the 1996 study, which showed that collapse of the wave function was instantaneous at the visual cortex. That falsifies the pilot wave theory, or interpretation. Many worlds isn't an empirical theory so I ignore it. Maudlin seemed to say that a demonstration or direct observation of collapse would falsify many worlds. Not sure, but he seemed to contradict himself when saying many worlds depends on collapse as a fact? Note. To demonstrate instant collapse and sensory charge's transformation into visual imagery is to demonstrate the existence of a transforming medium. I have a lot to say about that. Instant is acausal, and not one mention of that fact is given emphasis in talks like these. That's a cognitive bias against an acausal connecting principle of simultaneity, which was postulated by C. G. Jung as the synchronicity principle. Yet Jung clearly suspected that synchronicity or simultaneity was at the root of sensation in a second psychic system he postulated as the psychoid. The 1996 can be regarded as having demonstrated by observation and measurement the existence of the postulated psychoid. The key here is acausality and if you have a mind free of causation as the where all and be all of existence, then you would perhaps benefit from further discussion of this solution to the enigma of quantum physics but also a solution to the hard problem of consciousness.

Ir is reasonable to hold a prior that the nanoscopic world follows the same laws as the macroscopic for example the inverse square law.

Not really liking his generalizations, who doesn't answer what a wave function is? Not all physics teachers know what a wave function is I guess. But a professor who knows and studies quantum mechanics can answer that question. I just don't see the constructiveness of this discourse.

The philosophy of science or philosophy of art etc. is strange to me. Why not just do art or science but have a philosophical bend to it?

Thank you very much for this super interesting exchange. I think I will learn a lot from it, and maybe better comprehend certain things.... Thank you to both of you. 🥰

Sir what is consciousness according to christof is fundamental property or emarge out of matter please answer me sir

“Controlled hallucination” is such a misguided and self-contradictory way to describe what is, basically, an argument for indirect realism. (If ALL perception is a hallucination, the concept of “hallucination” loses any meaning.)

Superb interview.

I think this is the best deconstruction of identity I have ever heard Joscha give, thank you for taking him there!❤

A bee is "conscious" of whatever its senses produce in its brain. It sees or smells. The neural circuits are connected to nerves that produce mobility, and the bee sets out to find honey.

Thank you, refreshingly open, honest and perceptive conversation.

Thanks for posting this, very thoughtful discussion with keen and applicable insights. About the first part, personally I feel living forever, or even a very long time, would be hellish. I do wonder though, as a counter-argument, if the meaning crisis of an eternal life is soluble - if eternity is enough time to solve any impediment to a good or meaningful existence in eternity? I guess I am imagining a progression of problem-solving, expansion, and progress, in the Deustchian sense.

Tim completely overlooked important philosophical questions in ontology, sounded as a physicist wan-be than a lover of wisdom. Quantum physics clearly demonstrates experimentally the vanity of positivism as the sole criterion of truth in epistemological research. His is an outdated relic of Newtonian empiricism. What about observer effect on the collapse of the wave function signifying the role of consciousness in the midst of being? Particle entanglement? Wow this was the least enlightening if not sorely vacuous lecture I have ever heard regarding the philosophical significance of physics.. Is that how unphilosophical some supposedly good academic philosophers have become nowadays? Wasted my time...

How can Science be called Science when they won't even let Science know just how bizarre the universe really is?

I would love to hear Thomas Metzinger and Bernardo Kastrup talking about consciousness in the same room …..

Relying on nature's embedded defense of fine tuned atoms lattus structure is something very important but publicly neglected in such a future battle feild. One where hardware access to materials themselves changes. Trust level credibility of old world industrialized sharing is changing. Can you import titanium if someone can fake nickel molecular structural bonds by good deep mind simulated systems? If you can't trust them to give citizens peer review history nature universe education or free speech eqaul measure can you share this technical hardware?

Will we make artificial intellectual property that of individual intellegence to be on par knowledge? Or will we the people be the intellectual property of it and the state?

Nice work both of you

Best interview I’ve seen of Hamkins, who I really like. Great questions.

Avi has a mind that travels space yet he is so down to earth and accessible, not to mention humble. It makes me sad that he is so vilified by the scientific community. He is a pioneer.

+-35mins there is something fundamentally flawed with the symmetrical view of the ouroborous. I know because I made one similar myself. However mind supervenes on nature, and nature prescribes the natural laws; it is not the (mental) laws that prescribe nature. The main question that drove my quest was the question of which 'space' is 'larger': the mind space or the matter in spacetime? Matter is fundamental, as mind supervenes on it. So Spinoza's view of Nature. However combinatorially the mind and its imagination is WAY richer than nature. We can imagine more than can physically exist, in way more variations and 'colors'. So the mind is richer than nature, but nature is larger than mind

We live reacting to what we wake up to everyday... it's a long immersive dream

I think there's danger in "hoping" beyond the evidence. Anything that doesn't come with science based evidence needs to undergo thorough examination and clinical trials until it's solid.

Always blue and black for me. Never anything else, ever.

Worry about finding creative solution for ongoing problems on planet, before you worry about the stars. 😂

Hello 💞, Thank you very much for wonderful TALK and sharing IT 🎉🤗🎉

Say what you just said that at the beginning say once upon a time because that's about as much information as it sounds like you have in your brain if you'd like me to tell you the whole story I can . But most never do because they justify the fact that they believe no one could actually know or have the facts and even if I told you'd probably go from fear to anger to denial. I could tell you I could tell you how the universe started where we are what's around us who made us where we go when we die.

I'll also echo that this was interesting, in its reflection on some of the nuances of scientific discovery. Thanks for sharing this.

Mathew, your voice!! And of course love Anil

Self-evidently, we can be described as "naturally autonomous entities". Our persistence fundamentally depends on us having the capacity to detect our situation. Essentially, a detection event can be regarded as a change of physical state triggered by a specific contact. Naturally occurring detection mechanisms appear to be rather exclusive to living entities. From the inside, the situational detection events that occur within our physiology are subjective experiences, rather than accessible objective occurrences. From the outside, the VERY SAME events are accessible objective occurrences, rather than subjective experiences. In contrast with all other physical events observed in nature, these uniquely dichotomous detection events seem to be an ontological anomaly. Because of this, whenever we conceptually abstract and label our own subjective experiences for purposes of self-reflection and discussion, we unwittingly make them seem as though as they are ontologically different to the objective detection events occurring within our own physiology. In other words, to us, the detection events seem "physical", and the experiences seem "non-physical". Because this is not actually the case, the field of cognitive neuroscience remains profoundly unsuccessful in observing the mechanism(s) responsible for (what they assume is) an objective detection event giving rise to a subjective experience, leading to the appearance of what has come to be known as the "hard problem of consciousness". Empirically, all there is to find are these naturally autonomous entities, with uniquely dichotomous situational detection events occurring within them. Other than the simple fact that we ARE such entities, there is no reason why it feels like anything for us to be alive. This realisation is the dissolution of the "hard problem".

We were made to live forever.. it's written on our hearts.. that's why; we don't want to die! Our planer is here forever and the lucky awoken from death will live forever so how is this video correct

Mathew you look like you should be the blue beast in X men

didn't know that voldemort was a neuroscientist

Always odd to hear a scientist talking abouts dsm constructs like 'autism' or 'asd' as if they are objective or measurable. The dsm lacks scientific validity and reliability. Its is a product of culture and industry and is causing significant harm. Even chair of dsm 4 Allen Frances is on record apologising for the mess of massive over diagnosis we see today that he helped create.

This dudes delusional. We will never achieve interplanetary colonization. The human race is too divided to ever get to that level of cognizance

What he has said shows that a drug experience is meaningless; it gives no insights. He does not believe the soul exists; that shows it gives no real knowledge. It would be better to sit and meditate he would learn something.

I recommend checking out Andrew Gallimore and his book "Reality Switch Technologies."

Avi, you come across like you are trying to sell something. And in a way, you are. You are selling your ideas, and people are funding your ideas. And I've watched many of your interviews. You never fail to mention Harvard multiple times. If you are correct, does it matter what college or high-school one went to?

yawn!

Excellent thought provoking discussion!

54:00 Absolutely crucial & awesomely-clarified distinction between intelligence & consciousness. People mix up the two all the time. Properly understood (as here) - you see that even AI & consciousness have nothing to do with each other. Side note - folk also mix up very sophisticated algorithms & connected feedback & actuation systems - _but still simply algorithms_ - with 'AI'. For example - Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot & all the gymnastics it can do. It's not AI - just because it's a bipedal & capable robot!

I like analytic idealism. The most parsimonious ontology.
