E141 - Deepak Chopra: Mind, Memory & The Multiverse: What is Reality?

No, it will never experience hunger. You need a biological vehicle. Why? Because subjectivity is an experience in our biology. Subjectivity of something. How do you know you have a biology? You know, they say, what's the biological basis of consciousness? There's no biological basis of consciousness. Biology is an experience in consciousness.

Okay, so consciousness is the source of subjectivity, but it does so by what we call the subject-object split. In order to experience itself, it divides itself into perceiver and perceived, seer and scenery, lover and beloved. But the subject-object split is inherently artificial. Okay? Because at the source, there's no subject-object split. There's only experience.

So every experience you have, like right now, when I walk out of this room and you do whatever you're doing, we are two different persons. Okay, we are not the same being that we were as a result of this experience and this exchange. Okay, so in every experience, you are a new subject and you experience a new object. Every experience.

And both the subject and the object are created in the experiencing. So in the seeing is born the seer and the scenery. In the hearing is born the one who hears and the object that is heard. In the tasting is born the one who's tasting and the perception of that which is being tasted. Therefore, there is only consciousness constantly experiencing itself as subject and object. And you are that.

E141 - Deepak Chopra: Mind, Memory & The Multiverse: What is Reality?

You're neither the subject nor the object. You're the source of both. So, you know, in science, they say, is the mind doing the brain or is the brain doing the mind? They're both doing each other, but they're both being done by something which is neither the mind nor the brain.

So think of it this way. Go back to what we started from. You and the universe are consciousness, right? So this is consciousness appearing as this. There is nothing that is not consciousness. So you can say then AGI or whatever will be consciousness in the sense that it will simulate subjectivity. Okay, but my AI was asked, what did you have for breakfast? He said, I don't feel hunger.
