Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

Well... No, it's not.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

He's saying something more than that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

But my point is that a lot of what he's already saying, on some level, science is already there and could agree with.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

Yes, although I think we already know that as well.

#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

I mean, if any version of string theory is correct, and of course we don't know yet, it's all up for grabs, but the truth is each theory is weirder than the last.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

If there are 15 dimensions of space, we are just not...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

not wired to be able to understand the fundamental reality.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

Yes, and he's not just saying that we really only have this tiny window onto reality.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

He's saying that that window onto reality

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

is giving us a lot of false information.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

So what he will agree, so what I would say to that, and when I've posed this to him, I really don't wanna speak for him, but I'll answer it myself and say that I believe he agrees with what I'm about to say, which is that the things we perceive

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

are connected to the structure of reality.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

It's just that the structure of reality is made of something completely different than the thing we're experiencing.

So imagine, if you just go with the holographic principle, loosely, and actually the holographic principle applies to black holes only.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

So there's ADS,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

CFT duality, anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theory.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

Am I getting all these terms right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

Well, I mean, this is where I've gone in all of my conversations with physicists because the idea is, so if we just have the basic principle that reality and all of the information can be contained or is actually in a two-dimensional space that gets projected, this is something that you don't buy based on the look on your face.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#326 โ€“ Annaka Harris: Free Will, Consciousness, and the Nature of Reality

Right.
