And it's got an Earth and it's got a Mars and we can make rockets and we can go there if we're smart enough. And so could the barbarians if they grew up and got smart enough. So it's a physical reality. It feels like a physical reality. It seems like a physical reality if you are an avatar in that game.

But now you have a player, the player of that barbarian who is the consciousness of that barbarian. Now you have a piece of consciousness that's the player of this avatar, Tom Campbell avatar. Okay. And I've got a piece of consciousness that is... talking to your piece of consciousness that's playing you. Right. So what makes it a virtual reality is that it doesn't actually exist anywhere.

It's computed, just like the World of Warcraft. And in that World of Warcraft or in that Sims game, you know, the guy at the bar at the Sims, he slides that mug of beer and it slides down the bar. And if nobody catches it, right off the end, it splashes on the floor, the glass breaks. All those things happen. physical from the inside, the viewpoint from inside the virtual reality is physical.

So now you're a piece of consciousness, you're getting a data stream, just like you get with the World of Warcraft.

So now you're a piece of consciousness, you're getting a data stream, just like you get with the World of Warcraft.
The overall thing is consciousness and it's sending you and I a data stream. We get that data stream, just like you get the one million pixels of light and you interpret that into rivers and streams and houses and people. We get a data stream and we interpret it into this, virtual reality. So that's what the big picture is. We, physical bodies, avatars. Consciousness is the player.

Piece of consciousness plays us. That's our consciousness. There's no information stored in your brain. Your brain doesn't do any computations. It doesn't process anything. All that's done is consciousness. Matter of fact, your brain is not even rendered. You only render the stuff that other people can sense.

That barbarian doesn't have a heart beating blood around inside his body, doesn't have a brain in his head. You don't render anything except what you can see, what other players can see. So right now, neither one of us have a brain being rendered unless somebody cracks open our skull and then the brain is rendered. So that's the way that works.
