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 would predict, based on how it feels, that the 13-year-old, because I probably make that, my things fit better for me if I just assume that you've got a 13-year-old who pulled Einsteinian physics off the shelf to put into the program.

and they're just running it based on a set of rules, but it doesn't really matter.

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 we get to, here's how it feels, that I was given a set of wants and desires, and here's where evolution comes in.

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 want to survive long enough to have kids that have kids.

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 then everything in my life is just an echo of that.

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's like a hilariously limited amount of rules that you have to give to me, sort of based around how I stay alive,

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 desire to stay alive, what I want to quench hunger, thirst, sexual desire, so on and so forth.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

And then you just let me go.

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 you think of like a human as a character in a video game has certain stats,

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 you marry those wants and desires with those stats, and then you just let them go.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

And you see who they bump into and, oh, you had childhood trauma.

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 so that's gonna change your stats.

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 it's like, you just watch how all that plays out.

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 so you get, and I think this is why people are really gonna struggle with this, isn't an emergent phenomenon.

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

Because when I think about building the game,

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'm just beating it into the head of the team.

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

We want the community to create emergent phenomenon that rises out of the nature of the rule set and the technologies.

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'm not trying to create the emergent phenomena and then hope that the technology is born of that, which is basically what you're pitching, I think.

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 so I can get behind it when I think, oh, this is just a,

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

girdle's incompleteness theorem so there's an infinite number of things to cycle through and as long as i grant you that consciousness for whatever reason has a desire to cycle through all of that then everything does make sense it plugs in and it works but then i'm like wait the only part of that that then i don't know how to conceptualize because it could just be that i'm trapped in my headset and i just i'm not thinking about it right but what i don't know how to conceptualize is that
