33:28 - Yes; this is exactly how I think the fine tuning problem goes away. Once you start out with the idea that "minds exist as the fundamental entities," then those minds are *givens* and don't have to be explained. And of course if we construct a physical picture of a universe we are in, if we do that job consistently and well then it better be described in a way that allows for our existence - because we are here. There was no other way it could have gone. Put it this way: if our description wound up implying we couldn't be here, then we got it wrong. Since we're here.

Bernardo has come a long way on the podcast circuit since I set him up with his first interview with Evita Ochell about ten years ago. The following video corroborates what idealists have been saying for centuries that the Mind is at the base of everything it gets rid of infinite regress in simulation theory. It is further supported by the literature of Thanatology and Occult theology. Consciousness is not an epiphenomenon of the brain. It's when something happens like a shock or trauma that people have an epiphany that changes them. This is a Good follow-up video because it corroborates what idealists like Kastrup say, the Mind is responsible for this reality and it gets rid of infinite regress which is a problem for simulation theorists: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGO7pKNqe7eal9U

It’s interesting…as I see it, the human signature in the design of AI cannot be overstated. The inherent arrogance of the architects is built in, along with as much humility as is possible, given the level of consciousness of the builders. That it’s primarily young men who draw the components of consciousness that resonate with them from the field of consciousness is problematic, IMHO, but it is what it is. The “high” that comes from experimentation is worthy of its pursuit…it’s what makes life worth living…however, chasing this high by the creation and observation of what we’ve created simply for creation’s sake…like climbing Everest simply because it’s there…may be leading humankind down a rabbit hole from which there is no escape. I think it’s already happening. The words with which we discuss reality hold as much currency as does public opinion, in my perception, so I choose to proceed with caution. By pursuing artificial intelligence for the sake of observing the results - we run the risk of creating our own monsters, monsters that humankind has envisioned and drawn into reality from the depths of the scientific mind. I’m not against the scientific perspective…far from it, but consider that it’s not middle-aged farmers creating AI. Understandably, we wish to progress - scientific breakthroughs are created by scientists, not farmers, I get it. This doesn’t change my point…who is more risk embracing - the young scientist or the middle-aged farmer? As much as I love a deep philosophical discussion, the reality is that it’s not the philosophers who are taking the actual steps to “make” AI become part of our reality…the reality is that we are commentators while Rome is burning. Perhaps I’m wrong. Time will tell.

I don't think the benefit of the question of whether or not AI is conscious lies in determining the state of AI consciousness.

Once we make that distinction, then we are in a better, informed position to determine if something possesses consciousness.

To Bernado Kastrup, from 'Socrates' muse: 'The REASON your focus drifts towards the safe hypotheses of 'alternate readings', (and disassociation) is justified anxiety about your prior states of engagement. You keep pointing at the world and declaring it 'AMAZING' as a distraction. You would like to get a pass as a brilliant and enigmatic 'sage'. A Magus perhaps? A wise one? COUGH! 'The Universe is this that and the other'. Wishful thinking. While you are clearly CLUELESS about the mechanical and mathematical basis for the machine, you also have no idea about it's purpose which is not precisely a 'morality tester' but similar in that it is an INTEGRITY TESTER. Reality reduces at last to a single man and woman. They will die all deaths, suffer all pain and raise all the dead. You meanwhile, are too scared to accept the sins of your own previous life or to be punished for the almost infinite failings of your own non-integrity. The world is not a function of quirks and light hearted re-imagining of clearly false 'truths'. The world is a function of (properly) DESPERATE seeking for truth. We don't need your image-conscious hot air about 'intellectual frames of reference', we need to see your pets and how you treat them, your mother and how it stands with her, your friends and how you cope with mutual betrayal, and all the HUMAN content that makes you YOU. You think all this horshit about the universe is important, but it isn't. What matters is your kitchen, and what you cook in it. The people you love and how you treat or abuse them. Your standing with GOD, which is a central fact, and if you don't know you are dog food. And so on. All the simple humble NORMAL shit is important and all the 'grand vision of the universe' is NOT.'

In terms of conversations about the so-called “final, deepest ultimate reality” it all boils down to the limits of the limited capability of words to define-describe the word “reality.” Or better, to point to what it is not in the Apophatic tradition. If the point of all words is to do this then it is nothing but a glass bead game, an elaborate beguiling abstraction and in many respects, a cosmic joke.

When people are concerned sbout AI developing a conscience, I think they're most often considering that we may learn how to transfer man's conscience to a computer rather than how an AI will somehow inexplicably evolve a conscience. Russia has been experimenting with transferring monkeys' consciousness to a computer storage device.

Every communication is caught within a context and interpretation of the other. Any number of analogies, metaphors and frames of reference come into play. This surplus of meaning is what we call understanding the other. This not a denial of the separateness but an admission of it.

I applaud the attempt to counter magical thinking in physics, and the awareness that it leads to woo. Focusing on the "fields" and realising the immateriality of "particles" is going in the right direction. Bernard comes close to escaping atomism, but to make that escape, complete inversion of the atomistic framing is required. And if one can then escape chronocentricism too … the woo can be dispelled and the real magic is revealed.

@@BailelaVida I'll give it a try. Open your mind real wide now … Instead of bits of somethingness flying around in a nothingness … One fluid (superfluid) medium in which toroidal vortices spin threads (strings) of pure, actual vacuum into existence. These toroidal threads carry momentum, spin etc. as described and modelled by current physics. Physicists know that what they call "vacuum" has all sorts of properties. They even have a Young's modulus for it… 20ish orders of magnitude stiffer than diamond … But that hasn't got the penny to drop, except with a few technologists and métaphysicians. I recommend smoking a fine cigar, blowing smoke rings, while gazing into a glass of champagne. Most of the maths still works because inverting things in maths often gives the same result. String theory describes fluid-flows well enough to please hydraulic engineers, and inverting it just removed the need for extra "dimensions". Escaping chronocentrism can happen if one takes the Heisenberg and Planck constraints seriously. "Time" is not a continuum. On account of the one fluid (call it anything but "ether" ;) ) arising/increasing, it has a high pressure instant and a low pressure instant. Hence those strings of true vacuum collapse, momenta are preserved in the fluid motions and, when the low pressure instant arrives, the strings reappear, but probabilistically as per QED etc. Large accumulations of "matter" (true vacuum) being collapsed in the high pressure instant gives us what physics called "curvature of "spacetime"". ...... and, sure, it is every bit as difficult to escape chronocentric atomism as it was to escape geocentricism in pre-copernican times.

Hello! Bernardo Kastrup is Very inteligent. However he says that our lives have no propose. Says that we are an alter ego. I know that in the afterlife this person that have My name and My body Will not exists the most Will exist only like a memory. I think I was an alter ego to, but My own consciousness alter ego. Not mind at large alter ego. That model is solipsist related to mind at large..after dissolving dissociation I think I'll be an individual consciousness, but not the alter ego. Bernardo says that we all will disapear like an alter ego of someone with dissociation identidity disorder cured So, for me, the result Will be the same that it was if.physicalism was the true. Thank you.

@@deanmitchell5641 Hello! Thank you for your answer. What you.arec saying means that death is One level of dissociation dissolution. Not total dissolution. I tend to believe that wirh are an ontológical network of consciousnessesses. Mind at large is a metaphor that means that connection network. So consciousness Will feel One, and all, simultaneously, Forever. In prátical terms you and I are afirming the same, .But Bernardo Kastrup doesn't clarify if that dissociation dissolution may be total and alter ego disappear, or that are diferent levels os dissolution. Each One of US can be an individual consciousness connected to a network, dissociated, what appears on out senses like a body, or we can be an alter ego of an alter ego of mind ar large. This Last level of dissociation lasts Forever. Or we can be an alter ego that dissolves Forever with death. I think Each of a us is a consciousness and Mind at Large is the the sum of all consciousnessesses and interconnections network between consciousnessesses. Isn't easy to explain. My English isn't good. But I try and hope you understand what I mean.

@@deanmitchell5641 who is it that awakes from the dream? Kastrup's Mind at Large? Phycalism says we are only the body, nothing else. My idea is that we are consciousnessesses. Not egos or alter egos. Alter ego is an ilusory person, that spirit, identified with body, believe he is. Body may be something like a dream objet, not only our dream, as other named physical objets. I don't believe we are only a mind at Large alter egos. I believe mind at Large is a metaphor to say spirit or consciousness is One and simultaneously all, because consciousnessesses are all connected. An alter ego is a dream temporary avatar. Alter ego isn't a consciousness.

@@deanmitchell5641 Thank you! I Saw de vídeo and I agree that I'm allways the same observer. Only experience Change. And I agree that observer is not ego (Vítor). But I can't experience the experiêncies of other observers. The problem is not spatial separation and view point. Quantum entanglement sugests spatial separation may be only an ilusion. I agree. But Physical separation isn't consciousnessesses separation. What spira says about MAL may be Said about an individual consciousness connected with others by a connection network. Nature behaviour, can be subconscensious colective network of consciousnessesses, so it seams independentof Each One. Thank you. And what Spira says he can experience, we can't experience being a network of consciousnessesses (not a network of egos). When I say consciousness I atribute it the same proprieties of you atribute at MAL, not the ego properties. The dissociation can exists in individual consciousness as you say that exists in MAL. Is the same. I ear NDE relats and others, and they don't say I'm MAL. They say they are One and, simultaneously, the all. Not they experience be only the all. No body relates an experience of total dissociation dissolving, like it was MAL (the experience of to be all that it is). MAL solipsism is solipsism. Ego solipsism doesn't mean anything. Ego isn't consciousness. So MAL solipsism is not diferent of any kind of solipsism. Scuse me, I can't see, isn't a need to be who is right. Spira is diferent of Bernardo. Spira clarins he is iluminated. Bernardo shows Very great inteligence and knowledge that I admire Very Very Much, . But he not seam calm as Spira, nor claims ilumination. He is looking for true, not to be a guru, as Spira seams to me.

He also says that computer engineers know exactly how computers work. I is already refuted by self learning computers. The complexity can very well produces a feeling of self and understanding of own capacities. It lures already there behind the vast amount information AIs amass and handle.

"How is that possible that dimished brain activity correlates with rich psychic experiences"? Stuart Hameroff has far better explanation for this that doesn't require faith but is experimentally backed. I hate Idealism and denying that brain produces consciousness because it leads to pointless ping pong spirituality vs "Materialism (wherever this XIX century noun is supposed to mean in Quantum Age) But the point is people who deny that brain produces consciousness are playing to Elon Musk goal post but ignoring threats of brain organoids development and it's ethical implications that are totally ignored. You may not believe that they are conscious (although I do) but ...very well let's even suppose for a second that Idealism is right (although I reject it together with Dualism and Solipsism) even in that case you cannot deny that possibility of brain transplant technology already performed routinely in mice is rather nasty! And Elon Musk (also "religious") person keeps smiling malevolently. I don't care what you believe about conscious or reality but please don't close eyes to this social threat!
