The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

And is there a mystery around that that we not only don't understand, can't understand?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

And one of the theories, and I'll end with this, but it's a super out there theory.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

It's called biocentrism.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

There's a guy named Adam Lanza that you might be interested in talking to.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

He's a brilliant guy.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

He's one of the sort of pioneers of biocentrism.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

And basically what he's saying is that, look, if consciousness determines reality at the quantum level and the universe ultimately is a quantum reality –

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

It's possible that consciousness is part of – that there's a subatomic particle associated with consciousness just like the Higgs boson is associated with gravity.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

Like gravity exists because of the Higgs boson.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

It's a subatomic particle that we can measure, right?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

And –

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

Maybe consciousness in the same way is part of the physical existence of the universe.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

Without gravity, there is no universe.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

There's no nothing, right?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

It's essential to existence.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

And maybe consciousness is essential to the existence of the universe in the singular form that it takes.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

And it landed in this singular form with the arrival of consciousness.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

Maybe it's all one and the same thing.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

And that actually coincides quite nicely with Schrodinger, who was of the opinion that there was a universal consciousness.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2172 - Sebastian Junger

There was a kind of colossus of consciousness that we are all a tiny part of.
