Anil Seth: Consciousness, subjectivity and what it means to be “you” | The InnerView

Neuroscientist Anil Seth says what we perceive as reality is actually a constructed representation created by our brains. He tells Imran Garda that even being yourself is not as simple as it sounds.

Thank you so mach

Yes, Seth is an amazing scientist. Reality is sense perception. Sense perception is made by the brain. There is no reality, but consciousness perceiving sense perception.

'' what it means to be 'you' '' 0:22 when you know 'you' and 'possible versions of you' thru inner simulations/extrapolations, you get to know 'them'/'others', thus variances in existance, a 'wide database', 'usable when applicable'.

...imagination knowledge... the pulsar synegestic

[@KenanTurkiye]

children should be allowed and encouraged to imagine as early as possible, not merely given 'sterile knowledge', knowledge should merely be given at such ages to keep feed, keep healthy and mature the capacity to imagine (again at such ages, later on it's different).

Apparently there is no such thing as "sanity" anymore - until the phone bill arrives. !😅

[@KenanTurkiye]

:) sanity exists for the sane but of course if one was to limit their observation within the confines of global politics, yeah than it may appear insanity is the new norm, phone bill or not. :)))
