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 as I think about AI and the way it pulls images forth out of the possibility space, it does it in a certain way.

And you can create different kinds of AI that do it in slightly different ways and they yield different outcomes.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

And so for the headset that we all experience to be the way that it is, it requires consciousness to be a certain way.

And so what I'm trying to get to is when there is no physicality, how does it ever become a certain way?

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

Because the way that consciousness could act would have to pull from a probability space.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

But if I'm right about that, then math comes before consciousness.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

And if I'm wrong about that, I don't understand what sets consciousness moving in a specific direction.

Because if there's an infinite number of potential headsets, how would you begin to narrow it down to the headset we actually have?

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

In other words- Why would they need to look like neurons and brains?

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, but pulling from our earlier interviews, and so we definitely haven't talked about it this time, and maybe your thinking has changed or maybe I misunderstood your thinking previously, but it was my understanding.

I think I was asking you specifically about the moon.

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 I was like, but there's gravitational concerns.

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 can't not represent something underlying.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

And you said, Tom, you're, you're making a mistake.

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

This is all a simulation.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

Gravity is a simulation.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

The moon is a simulation.

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

You don't need the moon there to simulate gravity, to move tides or whatever.

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 can just be program rules.

And that's just how it happens.
