And I keep pretty current...

in the sciences.

So there's clearly stuff out there that's not well explained or explained at all right now.

Doesn't mean it won't be someday using empirical methodology.

I don't know quite how I got off on that, but we were talking about dreams, and dreams are not well understood even by neuroscientists and so on.

What is the brain doing?

You know, I personally think that we're kind of – we're like large language models.

You know, so all the training data of our life, it just goes into a kind of diffusion state, which is how generative AI works.

It goes into a kind of a very noisy state and then out of that coalesces new things.

And I think the brain is just –

constantly creating in the way that a generative AI works.

But who's creating it and who's it being created for?

So you're simultaneously the creator and the watcher, which is kind of amazing.

I'm creating a simulated experience for myself, one part of my brain is, and another part of my brain

let's call it the ego locus or whatever, the person taking the ride, the kid in the roller coaster, is going on the ride, which is kind of the filmmaking process.

Because I'm making a story.

I'm making up a story for my kind of simulation of the audience mind, the group mind, right?

So part of my brain is making up a story for another part of my brain.

That part of my brain is sitting in a movie theater with hundreds of other people and receiving it.

And judging it like, okay, this is cool.
