Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

I mean, you'd think that everybody likes consciousness and mathematics and is a geek, and they're not.

So you'd get the wrong picture about what really is the Twitterverse.

Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

And so I would think that all the headsets are just projections, like taking the Twitterverse onto one person's Twitter account.

They're projections onto a consistent, as you point out, the

To keep persistence, you might want to have a whole group of them that see the same thing and can both agree that – all agree that there's a red Porsche or something like that in the game.

So you could have a bunch of them that have similar projections of the one.

bigger conscious dynamics.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

Or maybe I should just stop there and see if that's addressed to your question or.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

So great question on the free will and then the nature of the origin of this headset.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

And is it just all pre-programmed or is there room for exploration?

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

Is that assertion correct?

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

I'm not sure.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

These are deep waters now.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

So that's why I'm myself now having some difficult trouble.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

So I would say the free will question first.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

When I look at our mathematics, I could interpret the Markovian kernel for a given agent as representing the free will choice of that agent.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

I could interpret it that way.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

But if I do that, I look at all the others and it's being affected by all the other conscious agents.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

So my probability space is being impacted by the other conscious agents.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

That's right.
