And that the tool it uses to do so is this headset.

There's an infinite array of headsets, but the one we're in has learned that there's only certain qualia that can be achieved when there is an arrow of time.

And that's why I'm saying when you first said that, I was like, I don't know that that's true.

Meaning inside the headset for at least certain types of qualia, it is clear.

In fact, the only thing we know is that the qualia that we have access to requires...

the arrow of time.

We presume that there are infinite headsets that provide just unimaginable, unknown types of qualia.

But the type that we have directly experienced all require the arrow of time.

So talk to me about near-death experiences, and then I want to get into psychedelics and whether they are

simply another form of qualia of what it's like to be a human who's having that experience or whether that's actually melting the human away and revealing something closer to being the one again.

But what can we learn from near-death experiences?

Do you think it's like a sort of half return to the one or is it just, well, that's what happens in the headset to the brain when you deprive it of oxygen?

Are there commonalities of what people bring back?

So if that stuff is real, the prediction that that seems to make is that not only is there a sense of consciousness that remains, but that there is sensory perception that holds out for quite a while.

Because at least from the things I've heard, people come back with a sense of either it's peaceful or whatever.

But that means that they were able to experience that and retain it.

That's right.

Right.

Dude, that is so fascinating.

Everything that we've talked about today, the research, all of it has really made me start to question my own thoughts around this idea.
