And I think, you know, if you're gonna eliminate causation uh from the microscopic world
that I I'm happy to do that.
That's a thing that makes sense to me.
But I think you want to appreciate that there's other kinds of structure present there and you're when you get rid of causation that doesn't mean there's no structure.
There's various other kinds of s robust law like structure you could be seeing down there.
Have you a mind?
Uh, I don't know if I have a very concrete view of mine because I I don't know how to solve the hard problem of consciousness.
Uh okay, here's a question about mind that I have thought a lot about, um, is which is about how mind is related to the experience of time.
Uh and you know, in particular, uh why do why do our minds uh why do our minds experience t time at a certain time rather than sort of spread out or at different times at once?
Why is temporal experience always of located at a time in this way?
So I don't know if you have views on that.
This is something I worry about quite a lot.
See, I think I draw quite a different conclusion here because uh, you know, I think this this sort of model of consciousness is, you know, just passively looking in at the state of the brain at various times.
That's that's quite intuitive.
I think I think many people do think that way.
Um, but I think if that's how you think of consciousness, there's kind of no reason why you should only see one t the state at one time.
Why couldn't the sort of the the being outside of the universe look in at the states at several different times and hold them all?
and awareness at the same time.
And I think to to understand why why that's not the case, uh, I think the way to understand why that's not to c that that the case is to think of consciousness as being more active than I than I think that picture suggests.
Because, you know, there's no reason why I shouldn't be passively conscious of what's going on at several different times.
