There's no nothing, right?

It's essential to existence.

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

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

Maybe it's all one and the same thing.

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

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

And when we die, we return to it, right, on some quantum level that no one has any freaking idea.

As I say in my book, we might understand reality about as well as a dog understands a TV screen.

Like with absolutely no concept of the machinery, the mechanisms, the processes that produce the flickering images that are in front of us, we might, like the dog doesn't have that understanding of what it's looking at, we might not have an understanding of the cosmos that creates the system that creates the reality that we are seeing and that we think is existence.

No.

I mean, I know about quantum entanglement, another great mystery.

I haven't seen the images.

Oh, my God.

So each one contains at its center a bit of the other.

Exactly.

Holy.

That's fascinating.

I think it was like last year.

Yeah, entanglement has been around for decades.
