And that ends up being, it took him years, but he ends up finally putting that together with some other ideas that he had intuited, including if you're traveling at the speed of light and you turn on the flashlight, what happens?

And in that spirit, you said something as you were describing the consciousness and you as an instantiation of that,

only to go back to the one.

And you said, well, the one is still learning what it needs to learn.

And I am like a dog with a bone with that idea.

What do you mean needs to learn?

Like when I think about a human, it needs to learn things to stay alive because it's been given these drives by evolution.

Right.

But what has set up the consciousness that isn't physical to need anything?

So you conceptualize it as still moving towards pleasure.

Tell me why, because that doesn't seem true.

It's interesting that you say about the set of assumptions.

So as we explore this topic, I realized that I think we still have, we each have slightly different assumptions though.

I think that we're talking well about the topic and,

But take the arrow of time, for instance.

So the thing that I find fascinating about the hypothesis that you put forward is for me anyway, I don't have the math to back it up.

This is definitely land of intuition.

But what I find fascinating is if you're correct and it's just consciousness is the singular thing.

It is for whatever reason, joy, need to pursue, desire to learn, whatever.

It's running through all of these qualia.
