00:00:00
The world that you're seeing isn't the
00:00:02
true world. All of this that I'm seeing
00:00:04
right now is just a virtual reality.
00:00:06
It's like you're born with a headset on
00:00:07
playing in a video game. That's your
00:00:09
reality. But if you're the programmer
00:00:10
who wrote the code for the game, you
00:00:12
know that there's an entire world
00:00:13
outside of it. And as the programmer,
00:00:15
you can do miracles.
00:00:16
And do you think we're getting closer to
00:00:18
being able to edit the code?
00:00:19
That's exactly what I'm working on right
00:00:20
now. And we're opening up a realm of new
00:00:22
technologies that are far more powerful
00:00:24
than anything we've seen before. Like
00:00:26
time travel. And nuclear bombs will be
00:00:28
like firecrackers. Will people suffer?
00:00:30
So, it's like Pandora's box. There's all
00:00:32
sorts of nasty surprises, but they also
00:00:34
could be miraculous. But either way,
00:00:36
just in the last few months, it started
00:00:37
to crack open.
00:00:38
So, let's talk about that.
00:00:39
Okay. So, according to Darwin's theory,
00:00:41
our sensory systems, eyes, ears, smell,
00:00:44
touch are not shaped to show us the
00:00:46
truth. They were shaped to keep you
00:00:48
alive long enough to reproduce
00:00:50
successfully because seeing the truth
00:00:52
takes too much time and energy. And so
00:00:54
whatever reality is, it's utterly unlike
00:00:57
anything that I perceive.
00:00:59
What does this all mean for the nature
00:01:00
of how one should understand their life?
00:01:03
Well, if you're stuck in a boring world,
00:01:04
that's a world of your own creation.
00:01:06
That's not the real world. And my
00:01:07
conscious experiences are nothing but
00:01:08
what my brain creates. And so we feel
00:01:10
inadequate and we feel like we need to
00:01:12
compete with other people. But you're
00:01:13
the inventor of this whole thing. You
00:01:15
have nothing to prove. And there are
00:01:17
much more interesting perspectives that
00:01:19
we can take on ourselves. So if you
00:01:20
really knew who you are, you would see
00:01:22
no need to compare or compete.
