Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

There's a set of rules.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

They seem like they're a little too perfect.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

They're a little too finely tuned.

You've got the Fermi paradox, which I'll probably ask you about later.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

Like all these things are like, nah, this is a little sus.

The way that this whole space time is trying to hang together just doesn't really quite complete the circle, including the...

So much of the energy that makes the universe work is this dark stuff.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

Don't worry about that.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

Feels like a 13 year old programmer hand waving it away, telling the teacher like, ah, I just needed something in order to, you know, make all of this work.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

And when I do that, everything also falls into place.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

where I'm like, oh, wow, okay.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

So I get how they're rendering all this in real time using the same principles that I'm now seeing AI use, pulling things out of the possibility space, because as somebody developing a video game, I will just tell you, the hardest thing is creating the art assets.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

So they need something that can render this stuff on the fly and creating the art assets that look good, but are also optimized for the rendering engine because the rendering engine just gobbles resources.

So it's like,

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

When I take that view and instead of going, there's this magical thing called consciousness, I'm like, oh, I'm still dealing with God.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

There's a God somewhere doing something, whatever.

There's a thing I don't understand.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

But space-time being born of a 13-year-old just trying to, like, you could literally go to the Unreal Engine store and be like, give me Einstein's physics.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Is Reality Real? - New Science On How The Universe & Consciousness Aren't Real | Donald Hoffman PT 2 (Fan Fav)

Right.
