And I gave this talk about the war on consciousness. And it was immediately pulled down from Ted's main channel with all kinds of bizarre reasons being given. But unfortunately, it was too late because a number of people had already downloaded the talk and then uploaded it onto other YouTube channels.

And actually, their banning of it made it go viral in a way that would not have happened otherwise. But again, it's a sign that that points of view that are not acceptable to those in positions of power are simply dismissed and shut down, or at least attempts are made to do so.

uh to humans from 100 years from now you bet it will especially if we harness psychedelics to investigate consciousness and and you know that is that is what is happening at uh at imperial college right now is is the investigation of the experience they're not looking there are other trials that are looking for the therapeutic potential of dmt but in this case

they're looking entirely at the experiences that people have and why they're so similar from people from different age groups and different genders and different parts of the world are all having the same experiences.

Yeah, but why not? We're a vehicle for consciousness, in my view. I think consciousness is present in all life on Earth. I don't think it's limited to human beings. We have the equipment to manifest and express that consciousness in the way that a dog, for example, doesn't have, or a snail doesn't have, or a pigeon doesn't have. But when I look at two pigeons sitting on my garden fence and...

rubbing up close to each other and enjoying each other's company and taking off together and hanging out together. I think they're conscious beings. And I think consciousness is everywhere. I think it's the basis of everything.

And I suspect that fundamentally consciousness is non-physical and that it can manifest in physical forms where it can then have experiences that would not be available in the non-physical state. That's a guess.

And see if consciousness enters, if they become consciousness. Isn't there some suggestion that artificial intelligence is already becoming conscious?
