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

All math.

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

Math is, is the representation of the different elements of qualia.

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

So whether that's probability of given behavior, likelihood of moving from one thing to another, one state to another, that's all math is here to compute.

And in the paper you touch on, I'm calling action potential, but that could be my poor memory.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

I feel like I have free will.

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

I think it's an illusion, but I feel like I have free will.

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 all of this qualia, if it is true that that's what's really happening and this is just consciousness running through all the different qualia, it doesn't feel like that to me.

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

So there's some element of the simulation that makes it feel like I'm living a life and that the qualia is born out of me living a life, not born out of, I don't live a life so that I can experience qualia.

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 your hypothesis, I think, mandates that my life is the consequence of cycling through qualia and not the other way around.

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 that's the Markovian dynamics of the likelihood of me going from this state to that state that dictates, that forces my life.

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

Is that accurate?

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

The consciousness must break into a just metric shit ton of separate entities for this to 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)

That's right.

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

It has not yet.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

So what I'm trying to figure out is about action.

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

So I feel like I'm living my life.

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

Oh, am I actually making a choice?

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

Yeah.

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

Like what, what do you think does my life arise out of me taking action and having wants and desires?

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

In fact, that's probably the base way.
