I think that Dr Hoffman uses evolution as a metaphor but the problem is we get into a lots of mess ,better to say from the start there were no evolution nor ST,and causality these conventions that we use is strictly a point of view say it otherwise what aseamingly" changes" through diversity is related to quantities into qualities and inversely in order to sustain life we can not be cannibal nor are other animals but is not rule there are no dogmatic rules in nature thus the interface metaphor is just because is us that play the game of win and gain nothing is hidden to us it is we that refuse to see because facades are more satisfactory to ours send of selfs ( I am not an exception) it is easier to hurts and to feed through force than be satisfied by average that we could have , effectively all it goes back to consciousness but not finding it through more knowing but self evidencey we can always search for knowledge but for knowing the details through different perspectives as life do all the time and Godel theorem says what it says as maths and logic are tautology then they says same things different perspectives though there are perspectives that can not be shown meaning there are similar things can not be said by similarity well that is true.tow women are similar but that can not be said by existant relations Wittgenstein said that in language it can't be said only shown or experienced as oneness ,copy of tow copy their similarity can't be copied it has to be written first.tow same song songed by tow different artists their similarity can not be songed we can only see the difference,the paradox of lier is solved as follows if one only lies can not what so ever have any conscience of truth for him to lie is to say what it can possibly say so he can not possibly pose any sentence unless is confirmed by structure of it's thoughts I am a liar means I am cheating it is impossible nor if he says I tell the truth without having the notion of duality,once you have tow opposite things you can through tautology make infinite propositions.And if U have one that one has an inside and an outside ONE in true sens of what we think can not be to be is to manifest as tow it may looks like one, it may say so or taste so but it is the case.

This is the first discussion on food addiction that I’ve ever liked. I’ve never thought I had food addiction but I do have obesity. And the reason I pushed back on it was because so many people want to classify without understanding. I don’t eat sugar much at all. Gave up fast food for the most part 20 years ago. I don’t like greasy foods or fatty meats.
@alr293Ай бұрын
So interesting how the brain is already sending different signals before they even start eating. For me, I started teaching myself that “I cannot eat ___ because I have obesity and I found that I would only eat when I was actually hungry, which usually meant twice per day. But if I was not hungry and I allowed myself one bite of food, it was cause me to feel incredibly hungry. lol so my kids started teasing me that I can’t eat because it might make me hungry. 😂 Don’t worry..not anorexic at all…quite the opposite unfortunately. But I do find it interesting how certain triggers could cause actual hunger.

For me, I spent years trying to eat more veggies without oil and would eat plates of veggies for meals, but the other consequence to that, I think, is that it made me feel like I always need to eat a higher quantity of food to feel full.

That description of the metamorphosis of the butterfly is the single most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard and so personally relevant as well right at this moment that it’s stunning 🤩 THANK YOU DR. Hoffman!!! ❤️🔥🎰❤️🔥 I had to comment again-I had not reached that part of the video yet. 😂❤ Beautiful. Also, there is a point to it all. 😊We are actually doing something important here. 😊 I already proposed the “deeper idea” of consciousness he is talking about in my first book. My latest book is “Eye of God: Language of universal mind” and I show direct evidence of consciousness at work in our bodies and the universe. Everything is symbolic and it only fits together in one way. 😊❤

What is intriguing is that nature could not possibly decides, evolution is not nature decision it is entities struggling and strategies we become what we want to become and surely we put sex,food and survival in our highest goal to achieve but if we wanted to live on without sex,food,survive,or the minimum as possible and take 'time' to other possibilities might have had see the life as interdependent interrelated data and events where non of them is really real only serving a higher purpose and simultaneously important and real LOCALLY globally is part of not a thing but INFINITE interconnectedness getting higher and complexity but also simplest and efficient pattern ,OUR GOAL IS BEING GOAL TO ACHIEVE here objectively where it have had always been subjectivity,and once we have achieved that level we just get free from this conditioned body but that must be the goal of all things so I see no ending to that if it is not humans it will something else's problems and so forth

My mediations have brought me to a similar conclusion. Consciousness is like a wave in the ocean where the ocean is the collection of all experiences that consciousness can experience. Everything was once unified as one, but then consciousness saw a part of itself and believed it to be other and then saw another part of itself and believed that to different from both itself and the first other. And so on and so forth. As consciousness divides itself more and more, it creates more complexity but also loses more and more of its wholeness. As consciousness spreads itself thinner and thinner, it desires to experience all of the separate parts it has created. Seemingly, this is for it to understand itself better.

This was a really wonderful interview with Dr. Fields! Thanks so much for probing him in such a thoughtful manner. Hearing him describe his own intuitions has really helped me grasp his mian proposals in the FEP for Generic Quantum Systems paper. One question (I come from biology originally so haven't had the chance to formally study quantum theory sadly): do you have insight on what can cause a maximally entangled Universal System (U) to actually "self-organize" into separable and distinct sub systems (A and B)? Is it simply that in the context of the full Hilbert space and the manifold of states/degrees of freedoom that the Universe is exploring, the systems A and B are actually still fully entangled, but locally appear to not be entangled [but this seems fishy cause the very existence of classical information at the boundary would indicate non entangled systems, right]? OR can a maximally entangled system actually become "decoherent" without any external observation?
@paraschopra2 ай бұрын
My understanding is that decoherence is always relative. Entanglement never goes away, it just becomes difficult to measure. (But I'm just guessing here, my grasp on this is not strong)

I want to work on AI explicitly to find a way to make it safe (or at least safer). I was always interested in AI, so maybe I’m biased because I’d also want to work on it if safety weren’t an issue. I don’t think I can have a significant impact on how this goes any other way. But I can at least have a possibility of steering the future down a better path if I try to nudge it in this way. Anything else I can do has no impact. I’ve tried communicating and I mostly don’t get anywhere. Everyone else seems to have their head in the sand. Often deliberately (believe what their paycheck says they should). I’ve convinced the occasional person, but they’re never anyone who has any ability to do anything. I have some ideas that I think will mostly just make AI work better. But I have others that really should help with safety. Almost anything for safety is dual use though. It helps you get it to do what you wanted.

High oil prices heavily taxed, make the energy corporations and big gov partnership very happy. Need proof? Oil profits during manufactured oil shortages. Propaganda is why people believe Taiwan was part of China, and not Japan.

The problem is still the same as it always had been, greed. Empires fall due to greed, children starve due to greed, homelessness is due to greed, war, murder, theft, drug dealing, you name it... greed greed greed. I mean even biblically from genesis to day zero on the calendar, meaning Christs original message and the reason he was crucified, is greed. All the worlds problems always had and always will be due to one thing... GREED.
@Alice_FumoАй бұрын
While all the issues you listed are at least sometimes caused by greed, they certainly wouldn't stop existing if greed simply wasn't a thing. Real life problems are always multi-faceted and complicated and very rarely have any single point of action to solve them. For example I could also list corruption as a singular cause for most issues and suggest weeding out corruption as the solution to all the worlds problems, but it's not that easy (unfortunately)

Sorta, yeah. I think it’s not purely mechanistic (in the predestined sense). I think choice is a thing that atoms don’t preclude.

One thing people don't understand about spirituality is that it's still being tried to be understood and defined with a working brain. Intelligence can explain many things and provide new perspectives, but it cannot be as horizon-expanding as an experience that goes beyond current data. The fact that religions have been produced, spread, and corrupted by power-hungry individuals with bad intentions does not prove that there is no different state of consciousness beyond our perceptions. As someone who has believed for many years that consciousness is a product of the brain, I finally realized that one should not be too certain about anything in life. My advice to everyone is not to be too certain, because you're trapped in a rather primitive container (the brain).

Nice video Connor. Just wanted to add that i think words and language are living things just like bacteria and occupy an intrisic physical place in our brain. There's some truth to the bicameral mind, its just that its the words and thoughts in our minds themselves talking to us, rather than an external entity. You're right though, some of our thoughts are memetically steered from our interactions with others. There needs to be more research done in decoding the true nature of words and language.

If they have the capacity to hold the "bad news" without being able to do anything about it, yes. If the news are very bad but they can channel that energy into a productive action and sleep well that night, also yes. If they can't actually expect their letter to Congress to have impact (due to writing skills, or subject matter knowledge, or the recipient not understanding tech, or the congresspeople not being able to coordinate), that will just put a burden on the person and make them less effective at the responsibilities they already have and were taking action on.

The reasoning is flawed. It rests entirely on the assumption that life evolves around red dwarf stars, whose radiation-blasted tidally locked planets are plausibly unsuitable for life. Most stars like ours that will ever exist are thought to ALREADY exist. This means we live EXACTLY when you would expect us to live, assuming only that life only evolves around stars just like ours.
