Zod Joe should have asked more thought provoking questions regarding what the guy actually thinks consciousness is. The guy didn’t really go that deep on the possibilities. Consciousness is one of the most interesting philosophical subjects you can talk about. This moment was wasted. Joe could have got him thinking. The guy was just as clueless about consciousness as anyone else. LOL! It’s general Zod!
Ezeckel Reichert I think I watched 3 clips. When I saw the one on consciousness I watched it last and thought it would be insightful, but it wasn’t. My personal opinion is that science cannot touch or measure consciousness and that’s why the discussion was boring. Only philosophy and logic can touch upon what consciousness is. If I’m wrong I’ll be proven wrong in the future if science actually identifies what consciousness is. I just don’t think that will ever happen.
agree or disagree with his prize...it was awarded for all the side-science you can harvest from his path(ology) in the near future. take room-temperature MASER science for instance. (not LASER)

This brilliant man is consciously reducing the complexity level of his points to the level that engages the audience from start till the end. Fantastic Interview indeed.
One thing that makes Rogan an innovative interviewer is his ability to let his guest speak uninterrupted for over ten minutes without getting anxious himself. Seriously great.

We pretend to understand by accepting what we are told, or we decide that the explanation is not the explanation. We exist and function by adopting various forms of faith. This hit home. Brilliant.
Either consciousness is a decidable or consciousness is undecidable. If consciousness is decidable there is an algorithm for it. If consciousness is undecidable then we can never know if we are actually conscious.
@@memegazer i like this comment... but hypothetically, we could learn everything there is to know about consciousness & still not be able to generate or manufacture it. One can imagine a few scenarios in which that might be the case (many of which don't rely on the presence of gods/spirits/the supernatural)
@@ts4gv That depends on what is meant by the term consciousness. Indeed it is easy to imagine a case where thinking machines would never be classified as consciousness...but that does not change the fact that we are still left with only two options. Either consciousness is computable...in which case there is an algorithm for it. Or we define consciousness as not computable...which will mean we will never be able to define and quantify the difference between biological intelligence and machine intelligence. It is really just a matter of preference.
@@memegazer One can imagine scenarios in which we could understand everything there is to know about consciousness, know that it cannot be generated from an algorithm on any machine, never have the tools to generate it ourselves (other than advanced cloning), and to be able to fully classify machine intelligence from biological intelligence. Think along the lines of “consciousness juice” in the brain, or weird quantum level stuff-anything in which physical reality is essential to generating consciousness. Unlikely, but a fun thought experiment. That’s my only point.
John Demchuk Basically, but I also feel like he touches up on the programming/philosophy aspect of decision making skills and processing evolution of the human brain and how adapting it to systems seems hard AF because programs are usually back and forth based on a pre-determined function/algorithm. He’s big smart 👌🏻
This is one of the better and well done Joe Rogan podcast interviews. Always been intrigued by ‘consciousness’ and how it fits in terms of existentialism. No MD’s in psychiatry can actually define or say. Yet, the common man will tell you that there is a connection between consciousness and the soul. Lot’s of luck getting a scientific explanation on that!
The soul could be completely explained scientifically.. like he explains in this interview, that understanding of what consciousness is, is beyond the scope of current mathematical, macro or quantum physics and it needs more research. Don't be ignorant
Even in the show breaking bad Walt and his Colleague could get it down to a mathematical number but could not say exactly what it was. If Hollywood looks at it that way I doubt mainstream science sees it no different.
This is such a great example of when someone is very smart and has a lot of experience with a subject that there is a lot doubt in truly knowing something and there is humility and integrity in saying he’s not sure.
I studied quantum physics at Cambridge University and I remember when hearing about quantum entanglement and also particles acting differently when being observed for the first time it blew my mind at what goes on at the quantum level. And even to this day quantum physics can always end up mesmerising me
I always thought that quantum particles acted differently when being observed because the very act of "observing" modifies the system, like shooting a light wave in the system and wait for the light to come back to know what is going on there, by the time the light is back the system was modified by said light.

Still watching this and sometimes I think he's lost the original question in his explanations but he always brings it back. Sharp mind. Am half his age and his is far sharper than mine will ever be.
Joe you gotta interview him again! You must hear him talk about his model of Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, which claims there is evidence of supermassive black hole collisions in the cosmic microwave background radiation in the form of concentric circles from a previous universe. The theory says the absolute end of the universe (all black holes evaporate and nothing of mass exists) is conformally identical to the big bang. So the entire known cosmos from big bang to end is nothing but a series of infinite universes occurring one after another. Super interesting and IT MAKES SENSE!
It's amazing to see someone this old who has dedicated their life to an understanding for the greater society. Edit: I think my liver is conscious on some small level. It has handled a lot.
I feel like he'd be such a good person to take lectures from because he explains everything in a way you can understand and clearly instead of trying to sound like the smartest and be the smartest especially when he acknowledges alot of other people's theory's that could all play a role in understanding conciousness
Sir Roger penrose is an absolute genius and wonderful person who really earned the Nobel prize he won a year or two ago. I love his lectures on how he calculates how to completely cover spaces with strategic placement of different shaped "tiles" , of which he has names he's come up with for many common shaped ones he uses often in his work. The most interesting research he has done though in my eyes is his theory on how universe's are created which is way to in depth for me to try to summarize on here but if you haven't heard him speak on this theory he has you must look into it and watch a couple of his lectures on this theory he's come up with , which also makes the most sense to me out of all the different theories I've heard about how the universe was created , like the "big bang theory " there was nothing and there technically can't even be nothing if there was truelly nothing because even nothing is something but then suddenly some how BOOOOM and the universe was born , gotta be the fucking stupidest scientific theory I've ever heard in my life honestly along with the theory of how our moon came to be which some moron came up with and called the "whack theory". God bless Sir Roger though and thanks Joe for brining him on , fantastic guest
Joe Rogan probably has the best recommendations on RUclips. He's interviewed a wide spectrum of different people. Had to have some minor knowledge about at least one or two.
What I got from this is basically Microtubials are responsible for consciousness, but we can never recreate consciousness with mathematics and we lack much of an understanding of what consciousness actually is, but we see Fibonacci sequences in the Microtubials which we think has something to do with where our conscious experience originates
basically he just kicks the can down the road, when you deny god its impossible to explain conscionus... ps: I DONt WANT an argument but a god debate with facts please.....
1. Consciousness is holding the same place in the universe what it holds in a dream. 2. A dream,Including every body living in the dream is observed by consciousness which is not a part of the dream. 3. The universe, including every body living in the universe is also observed by consciousness which is not a part of the universe.
I think the answer on consciousness should be searched via meditation and relaxation. I once was relaxed so much that all i was left was a tiny spot of consciousness somewhere inside my brain. If you go that far weird stuff can happen.i had an out of body experience, probably stepped into another layer of this reality. My consciousness 100% for sure didnt fall asleep. Opened my "eyes", somebody was already waiting for me, i was brought somewhere, was tested to see how i could hold myself when bombarded telephatically i think. Things work different there, more instantaneous, i failed and was brought back. When i opened my eyes in this reality, i felt i hadnt slept, that this did happen and i was mentally soo drained i just broke down.. It was the toughest experience i ever had. We need to explore that place/state of being. I feel its important.
Hi! I know it’s been a long time since you commented, I’m just really curious about this subject :) do you believe where you went was real? Or do you think it was just an aspect of the brain?
@Hank do you believe where you go when you dream is real? I think it's good to know that when dreaming, one's brain releases a few different chemicals to keep the body from moving and also to numb the mind so it can re-energize during sleep. I think when meditating, one isn't flooded with those chemicals and has a much clearer and imaginative view on their dream state, during the meditation. My point being that the clarity of meditative dreams might be so convincingly real feeling that it can be overwhelming. Compared to your sleepy drugged up dream state in sleep. Bare in mind; I am a Christian, 7th day Adventist, so I believe consciousness to be extremely complex and completely reliant on the soul. I mean the visions that people speak of in the Bible are extremely representative of some meditative experiences. Anyways, I hope that my words can help you with some new interpretation of what is maybe happening- or that I can invoke a new idea in your head that may lead you to a satisfactory conclusion 😊
Keep trying! Never stop trying! One day you’ll make it to the other side and be able to stay there for good! I’ve had very many similar experiences but not quite that far deep. 😊
Jaw dropped. I've experienced something eerily similar at a young age. If this is real, if you are still there, reply to me. If I could compare your experience with mine I might get closer to understanding just what it was.

It’s amazing how many people think Joe is a big moron. In every interview I’ve seen, regardless of how big the genius, he seems to be able to wrap his mind around the concepts the guest talks about. He may ask a lot of questions and use stupid analogies, but he’s not dumb. He’s also not dumb just because he’s done drugs or smokes pot. His vocabulary is somewhat limited but he explains his own views and asks questions well. And is ALWAYS GENUINELY interested in what the guest has to say. He’s not dumb; quite the contrary.
Joe is definitely super smart, normally and socially. Feminists and people like that call joe dumb and stuff for saying things like - men who turn into girls shouldn’t be allowed in women’s sport.
Joe is far from dumb, he may not know the actual names of concepts or equation because he is not a specialist in that field but he understands the concept quite well and summarize them into ways we all can understand. People who think that he is dumb are probably the dumb ones 😂
Philip Anthropist nice metaphor but it doesn’t quite work. There are more than 1 of the thing. It’s a fingertip trying to touch someone else’s fingertip and that is indeed very manageable
The depth of thought in this mans amazing brain... is Astonishing!!. Sir Roger Penrose. Sometimes you need to make a short story long. His level of consciousness is off the scale. ✊
Very interesting theory. It does sound very reasonable to think micro tubules play a role in consciousness given that they allow the cell to restructure itself, move key molecules within itself, and even move around in its environment. It would be very interesting to see whether the actions of a micro tubule (the way it grows and restructures itself) are a consequence of some underlying consciousness software program of the cell or whether its actions are driven completely by physical laws and through that consciousness arises.
I would imagine it's a software program derived/evolved from physical law. Within the confines. Is there something we are missing or I am missing. I can't see how there's an outside or radical cause we can't or don't understand.

Why is Penrose's name not in the title? Seems a bit like having Stephen Hawking on the show and just calling it Physicist Explains Black Holes. Surely more people are going to click if they see that kind of name.
UnderATallTree Youd be shocked to know that having vague titles is actually for views
At least they should have put his name in the description.
Didn't you write the same comment under an Eyes Wide Shut YT review?
I think you did.
Try asking random people in the street who Roger Penrose is, it's nowhere near as much of a household name as Stephen Hawking
I think it’s kind of poetic that he just considers them how they are: scientists/mathematicians-as if they all have equal potential to make meaningful contributions to society.
It's amazing to me how precise about his use of terminology.
His personality has been shaped with mathematical logic

Unintentional ASMR: Mathman Trying to Measure Consciousness
Lol agree
Haha! This cracked me TF up!! 😂
"Mathman" lmao nice
This man has glimpsed something profound and deep about reality.
A visceral experience through and through.
Of all the really great JRE interviews, this has to be my personal favorite.
We pretend to understand by accepting what we are told, or we decide that the explanation is not the explanation. We exist and function by adopting various forms of faith. This hit home. Brilliant.
What second?
Totally agree 👍 well said bro
Guy gets three words out...
Me: Yep this dude knows what’s up.
Either consciousness is a decidable or consciousness is undecidable.
If consciousness is decidable there is an algorithm for it.
If consciousness is undecidable then we can never know if we are actually conscious.
@@memegazer i like this comment... but hypothetically, we could learn everything there is to know about consciousness & still not be able to generate or manufacture it. One can imagine a few scenarios in which that might be the case (many of which don't rely on the presence of gods/spirits/the supernatural)
@@ts4gv
That depends on what is meant by the term consciousness.
Indeed it is easy to imagine a case where thinking machines would never be classified as consciousness...but that does not change the fact that we are still left with only two options.
Either consciousness is computable...in which case there is an algorithm for it.
Or we define consciousness as not computable...which will mean we will never be able to define and quantify the difference between biological intelligence and machine intelligence.
It is really just a matter of preference.
@@memegazer One can imagine scenarios in which we could understand everything there is to know about consciousness, know that it cannot be generated from an algorithm on any machine, never have the tools to generate it ourselves (other than advanced cloning), and to be able to fully classify machine intelligence from biological intelligence.
Think along the lines of “consciousness juice” in the brain, or weird quantum level stuff-anything in which physical reality is essential to generating consciousness.
Unlikely, but a fun thought experiment. That’s my only point.
Holy shit, this guy went GODMODE on the maths of existence .
Paul Steenhuisen he basically said he has no idea.
John Demchuk Basically, but I also feel like he touches up on the programming/philosophy aspect of decision making skills and processing evolution of the human brain and how adapting it to systems seems hard AF because programs are usually back and forth based on a pre-determined function/algorithm. He’s big smart 👌🏻

This is one of the better and well done Joe Rogan podcast interviews.
Always been intrigued by ‘consciousness’ and how it fits in terms of existentialism. No MD’s in psychiatry can actually define or say. Yet, the common man will tell you that there is a connection between consciousness and the soul. Lot’s of luck getting a scientific explanation on that!
The soul could be completely explained scientifically.. like he explains in this interview, that understanding of what consciousness is, is beyond the scope of current mathematical, macro or quantum physics and it needs more research. Don't be ignorant
Even in the show breaking bad Walt and his Colleague could get it down to a mathematical number but could not say exactly what it was. If Hollywood looks at it that way I doubt mainstream science sees it no different.
"I'm a big fan of your work. I've read much of your work." - Joe Rogan, nicest guy in all of GR.
This is such a great example of when someone is very smart and has a lot of experience with a subject that there is a lot doubt in truly knowing something and there is humility and integrity in saying he’s not sure.
absolute pursuit of truth requires no ego! i agree
Props to joe for letting his guest speak and not interrupting...
Joe couldn't interrupt as he didn't know wtf Penrose was talking about.
First line
"Everyone should hv an opinion because we are all conscious "
💯% agree with him
I studied quantum physics at Cambridge University and I remember when hearing about quantum entanglement and also particles acting differently when being observed for the first time it blew my mind at what goes on at the quantum level. And even to this day quantum physics can always end up mesmerising me
Sure ya did😂
Cambridge grad with the grammar of a wooden spoon
I always thought that quantum particles acted differently when being observed because the very act of "observing" modifies the system, like shooting a light wave in the system and wait for the light to come back to know what is going on there, by the time the light is back the system was modified by said light.
Joe is awesome, he lets his guests actually talk and he is genuinely interested in what his guests have to say. He often gives his most intelligent guests new ways of thinking.
Joe's face looks so stunned as if someone is explaining what a cellphone is to someone in Ancient Egypt.

Still watching this and sometimes I think he's lost the original question in his explanations but he always brings it back. Sharp mind. Am half his age and his is far sharper than mine will ever be.
Joe you gotta interview him again! You must hear him talk about his model of Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, which claims there is evidence of supermassive black hole collisions in the cosmic microwave background radiation in the form of concentric circles from a previous universe. The theory says the absolute end of the universe (all black holes evaporate and nothing of mass exists) is conformally identical to the big bang. So the entire known cosmos from big bang to end is nothing but a series of infinite universes occurring one after another. Super interesting and IT MAKES SENSE!
The latest Webb telescope images point to the fact that there is some merit to his theory.
This is absolutely fascinating. I'm immediately turning to the full podcast after the clip finishes
It's amazing to see someone this old who has dedicated their life to an understanding for the greater society. Edit: I think my liver is conscious on some small level. It has handled a lot.
He won the Nobel Prize
For what
@@agnosticpreacher6911 physics
I feel like he'd be such a good person to take lectures from because he explains everything in a way you can understand and clearly instead of trying to sound like the smartest and be the smartest especially when he acknowledges alot of other people's theory's that could all play a role in understanding conciousness
Joe’s face starting at 10:23 is golden. Anybody who’s tried to understand and explain consciousness to somebody in this type of way will understand.
The amount of topics he covers is awesome. Unreal.
Sir Roger penrose is an absolute genius and wonderful person who really earned the Nobel prize he won a year or two ago. I love his lectures on how he calculates how to completely cover spaces with strategic placement of different shaped "tiles" , of which he has names he's come up with for many common shaped ones he uses often in his work. The most interesting research he has done though in my eyes is his theory on how universe's are created which is way to in depth for me to try to summarize on here but if you haven't heard him speak on this theory he has you must look into it and watch a couple of his lectures on this theory he's come up with , which also makes the most sense to me out of all the different theories I've heard about how the universe was created , like the "big bang theory " there was nothing and there technically can't even be nothing if there was truelly nothing because even nothing is something but then suddenly some how BOOOOM and the universe was born , gotta be the fucking stupidest scientific theory I've ever heard in my life honestly along with the theory of how our moon came to be which some moron came up with and called the "whack theory". God bless Sir Roger though and thanks Joe for brining him on , fantastic guest
Joe Rogan probably has the best recommendations on RUclips. He's interviewed a wide spectrum of different people. Had to have some minor knowledge about at least one or two.
Will need to listen to this again a few times to comprehend it lol
He didn't explain it. Don't waste your time
What I got from this is basically Microtubials are responsible for consciousness, but we can never recreate consciousness with mathematics and we lack much of an understanding of what consciousness actually is, but we see Fibonacci sequences in the Microtubials which we think has something to do with where our conscious experience originates
did you?
basically he just kicks the can down the road, when you deny god its impossible to explain conscionus... ps: I DONt WANT an argument but a god debate with facts please.....

Consciousness is associated with “Thinking” and is independent of “Thinking”.
This thought is understood only by Consciousness.
1. Consciousness is holding the same place in the universe what it holds in a dream.
2. A dream,Including every body living in the dream is observed by consciousness which is not a part of the dream.
3. The universe, including every body living in the universe is also observed by consciousness which is not a part of the universe.
I feel like this guy should be reading bedtime stories
This was my bedtime story.
I think the answer on consciousness should be searched via meditation and relaxation.
I once was relaxed so much that all i was left was a tiny spot of consciousness somewhere inside my brain. If you go that far weird stuff can happen.i had an out of body experience, probably stepped into another layer of this reality. My consciousness 100% for sure didnt fall asleep.
Opened my "eyes", somebody was already waiting for me, i was brought somewhere, was tested to see how i could hold myself when bombarded telephatically i think. Things work different there, more instantaneous, i failed and was brought back.
When i opened my eyes in this reality, i felt i hadnt slept, that this did happen and i was mentally soo drained i just broke down..
It was the toughest experience i ever had. We need to explore that place/state of being. I feel its important.
Hi! I know it’s been a long time since you commented, I’m just really curious about this subject :) do you believe where you went was real? Or do you think it was just an aspect of the brain?
@Hank do you believe where you go when you dream is real?
I think it's good to know that when dreaming, one's brain releases a few different chemicals to keep the body from moving and also to numb the mind so it can re-energize during sleep. I think when meditating, one isn't flooded with those chemicals and has a much clearer and imaginative view on their dream state, during the meditation. My point being that the clarity of meditative dreams might be so convincingly real feeling that it can be overwhelming. Compared to your sleepy drugged up dream state in sleep.
Bare in mind; I am a Christian, 7th day Adventist, so I believe consciousness to be extremely complex and completely reliant on the soul. I mean the visions that people speak of in the Bible are extremely representative of some meditative experiences.
Anyways, I hope that my words can help you with some new interpretation of what is maybe happening- or that I can invoke a new idea in your head that may lead you to a satisfactory conclusion 😊
Keep trying! Never stop trying! One day you’ll make it to the other side and be able to stay there for good! I’ve had very many similar experiences but not quite that far deep. 😊
Jaw dropped. I've experienced something eerily similar at a young age. If this is real, if you are still there, reply to me. If I could compare your experience with mine I might get closer to understanding just what it was.
That went straight over my head. My brain is hurting trying to understand that. Now im going to listen to the podcast.

These interviews with smart, sciency people are the best interviews!
It’s amazing how many people think Joe is a big moron. In every interview I’ve seen, regardless of how big the genius, he seems to be able to wrap his mind around the concepts the guest talks about. He may ask a lot of questions and use stupid analogies, but he’s not dumb. He’s also not dumb just because he’s done drugs or smokes pot. His vocabulary is somewhat limited but he explains his own views and asks questions well. And is ALWAYS GENUINELY interested in what the guest has to say. He’s not dumb; quite the contrary.
Who says he is dumb ? I haven’t heard that . I agree with the rest u said .
Never heard of anyone thinking Joe is dumb lol
He isn’t dumb at all sometimes we can’t grasp on what to say joe is very smart I would say he is really really aware also
Joe is definitely super smart, normally and socially. Feminists and people like that call joe dumb and stuff for saying things like - men who turn into girls shouldn’t be allowed in women’s sport.

The depth of thought in this mans amazing brain... is Astonishing!!. Sir Roger Penrose. Sometimes you need to make a short story long. His level of consciousness is off the scale. ✊
Very interesting theory. It does sound very reasonable to think micro tubules play a role in consciousness given that they allow the cell to restructure itself, move key molecules within itself, and even move around in its environment. It would be very interesting to see whether the actions of a micro tubule (the way it grows and restructures itself) are a consequence of some underlying consciousness software program of the cell or whether its actions are driven completely by physical laws and through that consciousness arises.
I would imagine it's a software program derived/evolved from physical law. Within the confines. Is there something we are missing or I am missing. I can't see how there's an outside or radical cause we can't or don't understand.
