#927 - Annaka Harris - Unpacking The Mystery Of Consciousness

We don't know what it's like to be all kinds of creatures that we already know exist. So if the math and the physics tell us that certain structures exist and every structure that exists in the universe is at bottom level, a felt experience or many felt experiences arising, then suddenly those types of things make more sense and are easier to talk about.

um this is kind of what the last chapter of my documentary is devoted to and i wish i were more creative in my thinking and i actually talk about the fact that um as creative as human beings are for some reason we're very bad at envisioning the future and where like new technologies will lead us um but i did spend a lot of time thinking about this and so um it you know i i

I don't know how this will manifest and where it will lead exactly, but the things that I can think of and imagine are things like sensory addition. So I imagine that perceiving new forces and systems like magnetic north and all the other things that we don't sense that feeling them intuitively actually give us a lot of scientific knowledge.

You know, all, not all, but most of the physics that we've done comes from the fact that we feel ourselves in the world. We feel a lot of the physics. And we're able to get a tremendous amount of information just from perceiving it. And so I think if we're able to start to perceive other things in our environment with our brains in a way that we can develop intuitions for them, I think that that's

That's one avenue. The other one I mentioned is if it's possible to not just share memories across the ages of one person as they evolve over time, but to share them across human beings. So it wouldn't be the same as having the same experience in the same moment. But

Just being able to have someone else's experience as part of my memory, I think, suddenly gives us a whole new set of intuitions about consciousness and what's happening and how we relate to one another and all of that. I also was thinking when I was reading Sarah Walker's book, and I mentioned this in the series also, she's an astrophysicist who's working on a theory of life.

She talks about, she mentions in her book how Einstein... you know, had this intuition for space-time. He was the first human being we know of to think about gravity not as a force, but to imagine that space and time are somehow part of the same fabric. And when that fabric warps, it affects how objects move, right? So rather than gravity being a force, it's actually the warping of space-time.
