This video is a result of research and musings on the contentious topics of artificial intelligence, Humphrey theory of consciousness as expressed in his book 'Sentience: The Invention of Consciousness', the peculiarities of quantum physics and its implications, mindfulness and the monkey mind, notions of enlightenment, ego dissolution, what science and scepticism really stand for, human scientists as fallible beings, scientism, Jerry Coyne as a provocateur and his erroneous materialist dogma, the reasons why Rupert Sheldrake should be celebrated, the shaky idea of cosmological constants, the relationship between free will and time dilation as pointed out by my friend Nini S Castle, truth and addressing the proverbial elephant in the room, the copout of Noam Chomsky's new mysterianism, Alexander Danvers' misunderstanding of consciousness based of Mark Solms' 'The Hidden Spring', somnambulism, philosophical zombies, Jill Bolte Taylor's literal stroke of insight, the scientific studies of NDEs and how they evidence an afterlife permitted by nature as well as monistic idealism, lucid dreaming as a way to explore the mind and what it can do (including two lucid dreams that I experienced), the awareness behind the dream concept that Robert Waggoner talked about previously, and formerly dismissed phenomena that turned out to be real.
