some time after my first serious lsd experience someone asked me about it and i answered somewhat automatically "maybe through a certain set of variables that created human consciousness, there's a bigger consciousness running through the universe", i know that such thoughts are stereotypical to psychedelics' experiences, but this feeling still haunts me
If everyone say they more or less see the same in trips, (aka rainbows everywhere) can you then still call it a hallucination? If everyone uses DMT and see aliens when they break trough. Is that a hallucination or a portal? Is it a drug or a key?
it once occurred to me that if my body is made of individual living cells-if my consciousness is made up of smaller aggregates that all contribute-then why shouldn’t all living things contribute to a greater force in the universe?
Now imagine if you can tap into said "one" consciousness, or "pure" consciousness. Not many believe me, but i was up 3 days straight, molly, coke then acid; on a sunday, no less. That day, something cracked. I remember me and my two friends at the time walked through downtown Chicago, and I remember every light, every body, every door, just allowed me to enter. I can never forget how surreal the world was. Beyond an existential realization, or "understanding" of the notion that this life we live may be un-real, i walked through a world that was pure manifestation, to the most literal way. Since then, i lost my mind for a while, couldn't grapple my body, my person, my identities. I still bring up stories from the past, with certain friends, and they'd tell me, definitively that they weren't there, or it didn't happen. Like i was another person, though i look the same, i didn't feel the same. Like I'm in another version of myself. But I've gotten past that stage. I realize no matter who may have been, i can always choose who i will be. I stopped doing acid, or hallucinogens. But lately, in my sobriety, i find myself, sometimes, able to tap back into the pure manifestation. If i can let go of the strong beliefs of reality, like i had that day, and just let the world be, sometimes it taps back into this flow. What i call the perfect flow. Like i found a groove in the machine of life and am able to flow through. It's, of course, nowhere near as warped as that one time. But i still feel that pure consciousness sometimes.
Well, i dont want to believe last thursdayism or solipsism, but Im totes down for the hollow earth theories just cuz I rly want there to be elves from the artemis fowl universe down there. and I dont see the point in believin in the missin three centuries theory...
And ofc I wanna believe the universe is just its own version of a neural network. To what end and for what purpose? That is beyond imaginable I feel. I dont imagine some sorta humanoid creature with the universe as its brain tho. Nor any kinda creature for that matter. Nor plantlife. Nor any organism we currently kno of. Whatever the reason for this universe spannin neural network and what it provides or anything like that wud be seemingly unknowable to us as the mere cells (not even that rly). We are but the atoms within the building blocks of the cells (with our own quarks (and quirks :p) within us); and our whole solar system itself but like a single part, such as the mitochondria (the powerhouse), of the cell. We are so far removed from being able to understand for what purpose the universe exists, much farther removed from understanding such than our cells within us are removed from being able to understand why their universe exists and what purpose it exists for.
I sometimes imagine the universe as a cosmic rpg, and the reason bad things happen to good people is their player rolled some bad results. When you die, your player rolls up a new character. We call that "reincarnation".
i was in year 2 (1990ish) at an Australian public school when my teacher decided that me writing with my left hand wasn't worth messing up her seating plan , couldnt have me bumping elbows with the kid next to me. so i was forced to write with my right hand. I remember getting scissors cutting home work because i struggled cutting around the patterns. For years i felt like i was stupid for having this extra homework until i was and adult and talking to my mum about school and she explained how the teacher forced me to write/cut with my right hand. I wasn't dumb, i was just being forced to do something that was un-natural to me. Years of shame and embarrassment all over a seating plan. cheers teach. I'm almost 40 now, i still write with my right and its still messy AF.
This might make you feel better: Every US Presidential election since 1980 when at least one of the two major parties nominated a left-handed candidate, the winner was left-handed. Reagan, GHW Bush, Clinton, and Obama are all left handed.
This seems to be a major problem with (some) teachers. A friend of mine was forced to write with her right hand by the simple, and cruel, expedient of tying her left hand behind her back - although that was some years before your experience. Oh, if only we could go back in time, presumably to last Thursday, and have a chat with these icons of the teaching profession.

Memories are as real as you believe them to be. My brother was bleeding out & close to dying in March, 2019 due to an injury he caused himself due to psychosis caused by methamphetamine usage. I had to pin him down, closing his wounds to prevent him from bleeding out, while he was struggling & beating the living shit out of me trying to get away from me because he thought I was trying to kill him, even though I actually saved his life. What was happening in his brain was reality to him, same as the reality we experience. Our brains are only conveying a specific version of reality to us that has been developed over billions of years of evolution to best help us survive on our planet, but there is much that our senses aren't able to pick up. This is why the scientific method is so important to follow, as it eliminates the human biases that we are all prone to following, & basing our understanding of reality on logic.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

For the entire tine I was 47 for some reason I thought I was 48. When I actually turned 48, I figured out my mistake and was really happy that I was a year younger than I had thought. Sorry this video just reminded me of that. Reality is a tricky beast to pin down.

My completely love the giants brain theory. That has been a thought in the back of my head ever since I was a child, maybe around 4, when playing with my sister and her dolls, I sat and pondered “I’m giving these dolls thoughts, emotions, actions, dreams, etc..... what if a giant is doing the same thing to me” and ever since then it had messed up my thought process.
Whoa... I used to think something VERY similar as a little boy, when playing with the people in my lego town... I thought of it as if I were "their god", and then there was a god over us, and then that god was part of another larger universe, where he had a god, and so on, and so on....

regarding the phantom time thing, as an architecture student I learned a tiny bit about building typologies. We get these weird preconceptions about history, often forgetting there are huge overlaps in things we think are so far apart from each other. An example is how there was a 22 yr period where the fax machine and samurai existed at the same time. This can be applied to buildings too, many civilizations have copied roman design prinicples (they copied from the greeks and the greeks copied etc etc.)
Not to mention the how advanced the Chinese were around the same time as the Romans and Greeks were just kind of coming up. Or how Cleopatra is closer to the inception of Apple then she is the building of the pyramids.
The horse and carriage was still the primary mode of transportation well after the existence of the airplane. I believe the automobile didn't become number one until the Model T had been around for a few years. This makes World War I pretty interesting...you had lancers on horseback while at the same time the Red Baron was flying through the air in an airplane. Heck, when the Germans invaded Poland at the onset of WWII over 20 years later, the Polish army still had cavalry on horseback.
@@100percentSNAFU The second part about the cavalry in Poland is an out of context myth... They were not lance riders... If anything they are whats called dragoners.... Infantry that gets around on horseback but fights like normal infantry in their area of deployment... Sort of like what's done nowadays with motorized infantry.... The formation in question uses traditional cavalry weapons for parade purposes.... that's where those out of context photos come from.... Example of way more recent era... A lot of US special forces rode horses in the mountains of Afghanistan. One would hardly call those troops cavalry.
The problem with simulation type theories is that it doesn’t answer the question (“why are we here”), it just kicks the can down the road (“why are the simulation makers here”).
@@tcphll yeah no. “A scientific theory differs from a scientific fact or scientific law in that a theory explains "why" or "how": a fact is a simple, basic observation, whereas a law is a statement (often a mathematical equation) about a relationship between facts.” Science and scientists still cares about the why. One would think that if you knew as much about science as you imply you to to be making universal prescriptive definitions of it that you, you know, wouldn’t be making such easily falsifiable statements. 🤷♂️
@@MasterShake9000 I didn't coin this, it's an old adage. You also misunderstood. Your "why" in your opening comment is a philosophical question.

When I was really little (3-7), I used to escape into this carebear like dream world in my sleep. It was so cool. There was magic and stuff. It was like amazing. I used to do this pretty much every night and just continue my life in this dream from where I left off last time. Those were the days.
I've had lucid dreams where I feel like I'm in the dream for months or sometimes even YEARS and wake up to find I've been there for like two-hours. And I'll often pick up the same thread later on when I go back to sleep and go to some other world. I really do sometimes question how my brain can possibly stuff that much information into such a short period, I know it sounds ridiculous to suggest you might actually be going somewhere in your dream but like...how the hell does your brain vividly remember years of content that somehow happened in a couple dozen minutes?
@@Goldenkitten1 yes exactly! I’ve had dreams where I pretty much live out my life… the craziest that used to happen and still does sometimes is where I can pick up where I left off the next night or even months later
@@boleebo2925 Yeah it's honestly a little disheartening or anxiety inducing when you wake up at times. You literally feel like you've just been pulled out of another life. Not a big deal all the time or especially if you're having a nightmare but there have been times where I feel like I've developed legitimate friendships and relationships with people there having been stuck there for an extended time and then I wake up and you have to stop for a second and sort of come to terms with "Wait, they were all dreams? Holy crap I need a minute". I've legit refused to go back to sleep sometimes because I'll be genuinely depressed immediately after waking up just sort of shocked that I was basically just ripped out of a different life back into another one.

Not to mention all the people that lost jobs, homes, vehicles AND all the people that are barely hanging on and are about to lose everything.

If you want proof of everyone is living in their own reality, ask 5 witnesses to an event like a car accident to describe what they saw and you will get 5 slightly different versions of the same event.
Exactly. A classic example of what our eyes see, what signals they send to the brain, how the brain interprets the signals and construct a vision. There are many opportunities for problems along the way (eyes might not be completely functional, nerve damage) then there is psychological interpretation. Plus store that "video" in memory and it can easily get scrambled. i.e. the classic catch a 10 inch fish, a year later it will be a 20 inch fish.
Well, living in their own ‘subjective experience of’ reality might be just as accurate. If there is no objective reality, then what are we having a subjective experience of?
Last Thursdayism reminds me of a slightly more extreme version of the same idea that I used to go around asking people about as a kid. It really was the exact same idea but instead of last Thursday I used "one second ago." "What if all of your memories and everything from the past was just fabricated and implanted in your head, and your existence actually started one second ago?" I always used to come up with weird ideas like that. When my friend and I were 17 we got really high, like too high, and started walking to town to hang out with our friends, and during the walk I told my friend "When you walk you're not actually moving. You stay in the exact same spot in space, and the entire planet is rotating beneath you to simulate movement." I guess it made him terribly disoriented because he continued walking, silently, for about 6 or 8 steps, stopped, bent forward and started dry heaving. It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen. Thanks for reminding me what a weird kid I was lol.
9:41 I think the point of the "left-handedness is a sinful temptation" thing is to mock most religions' fixation on aspects that you have no control over being sinful. I could be wrong but that seemed to be relevant considering the origins of last-thursdayism.
I get your joke and like it very much, but can't resist my otaku urges to point out that the first isekai story is that of Urashima Taro, 8th Century C.E.
When the world of today was created last Thursday, but there are comments even before your video was even published, does that mean that by becoming a Patreon people also leave the existence itself and become something like the watcher?
It fits in a lot of ways too. A big huge beingd time would be almost impossibly slow relative to us and our size....so maybe size and gravity are doing more than we can observe yet. I dunno....just babblin'
@@sock2828 Even as a thought experiment, I adore this. Einstein is attributed as saying "I want to know God's thoughts" and with this and similar theories, the response seems to be that literally, "we are". Being falsifiable gives the theory some scientific credence, and I really appreciate your response with that, because you've given me a few internet rabbit holes to wander!
I once had a dream that when I wake up each morning, I live the life of a different person with all their memories intact. I would have a difficult time proving that was false.
The last theory is actually pretty cool. I like the thought of being a brain inside of a brain! Do I have a space structure in my brain, meaning little organisms with brains of their own exist? I hope so LOL.

"Those, those have always been there" "Yes I know they've always been there, but im not sure of those had always been there last week..." often used Pratchettism to describe the effects of time travel on non time travelers on the Discworld.
the sylvester pope cracked me up XD love all those woo woo theories, and yeah why they hate left handed people so much? do we know more stuff on the universe than they do? Are they trying to hide our immense power from ourselves 🤔
I think it goes back to the fact that when you look a mirror and move your right hand the reflection moves its left. So that somehow got construed into left-handed people are demons or the like.
Not exactly the same but when I was in kindergarten and part of 1st grade I was made to use my right hand for everything. Idk if it was common in the early 90's but my kindergarten teacher tested your primary hand by making you stand in front of her and start walking. Whatever foot you stepped first with was your dominant side, supposedly. Hence why I can do most things with both hands now. Kinda glad tbh, its come in handy 😅
@@secretpanda64 Yeah your Kindergarten teacher was just wrong. For instance, I'm left-handed, but right-footed, so I always step with my right foot first (except in marching band, where you have to step with your left foot first). I also always kick with my right foot, just as I always throw with my left hand.
Congratulations. Your reintroduction of the woo woo alarm had me both smile in silly (and probably misplaced) nostalgia and called my flat mate to my room as he wondered what type of alarm was going on. That being said, you won a second view on your video for that.
On the giant brain theory, since we can observe that the universe experienced a very violent event and is rapidly expanding, we live in a brain that apparently has been shot. Of all the woo-woo theories, this is my favourite. A better explanation would be the fractal nature of the universe and how matter orders itself, from the smallest to the biggest scale. That's why the brain cells, the milk in your coffee and the universe follow similar patterns. We can read as much or as little into that, but my conclusion wouldn't be giant brain.

That last theory is really cool and it's definitely been touched on a bunch of times in the past by philosophers and the like, just not to such an amazing scientific extent. Like the dreaming butterfly. Although I'm now getting strong flashbacks to that episode of Adventure Time where Fin puts on the glasses and sees that our reality is just a small component of a bigger reality that's identical, then declares himself super smart.
Seems right. I have been lucid dreaming since I was a little girl and I have notices that I often go back to a specific dream world each with its own set of natural laws.
I don't feel like it makes any more sense than anything else in this absurd world, but it puts some sort of meaning into it and that's why people gravitate towards it.
I personally don't believe the universe is actually real. The speed of light is an asymptotic barrier that prevents us from ever reaching anything beyond our local system. It's like a video game where you try to fly your jet off the side of the map, and the game rules prevent you from ever going anywhere that hasn't actually been committed to system memory.
I don't quite understand why people think the theory is crazy. From what I can understand watching this video the scientist proposed that all quantum, atomic and macro-atomic constructions have fundamentally a similar shape because it's the most stable. He didn't say the universe is actually a brain, or that the universe is a conscious entity. Like he mentioned, proving this theory wrong would be difficult so take it with a pinch of salt, but he never said quantum structures, atoms, molecules, humans, animals an the universe are part of the same organismo, just that their structures are stable because of evolution.
Here's my theory: you're actually Charlie Day, and the guy at the whiteboard on the show is your stunt double. Also, the last theory is straight up Elder Scrolls lore with the godhead.

Now imagine if you can tap into said "one" consciousness, or "pure" consciousness. Not many believe me, but i was up 3 days straight, molly, coke then acid; on a sunday, no less. That day, something cracked. I remember me and my two friends at the time walked through downtown Chicago, and I remember every light, every body, every door, just allowed me to enter. I can never forget how surreal the world was. Beyond an existential realization, or "understanding" of the notion that this life we live may be un-real, i walked through a world that was pure manifestation, to the most literal way. Since then, i lost my mind for a while, couldn't grapple my body, my person, my identities. I still bring up stories from the past, with certain friends, and they'd tell me, definitively that they weren't there, or it didn't happen. Like i was another person, though i look the same, i didn't feel the same. Like I'm in another version of myself. But I've gotten past that stage. I realize no matter who may have been, i can always choose who i will be. I stopped doing acid, or hallucinogens. But lately, in my sobriety, i find myself, sometimes, able to tap back into the pure manifestation. If i can let go of the strong beliefs of reality, like i had that day, and just let the world be, sometimes it taps back into this flow. What i call the perfect flow. Like i found a groove in the machine of life and am able to flow through. It's, of course, nowhere near as warped as that one time. But i still feel that pure consciousness sometimes.

Well, i dont want to believe last thursdayism or solipsism, but Im totes down for the hollow earth theories just cuz I rly want there to be elves from the artemis fowl universe down there.
and I dont see the point in believin in the missin three centuries theory...
So what kind of car do you want this warrantee for and how many years did you have in mind?
And ofc I wanna believe the universe is just its own version of a neural network. To what end and for what purpose? That is beyond imaginable I feel.
I dont imagine some sorta humanoid creature with the universe as its brain tho. Nor any kinda creature for that matter. Nor plantlife. Nor any organism we currently kno of.
Whatever the reason for this universe spannin neural network and what it provides or anything like that wud be seemingly unknowable to us as the mere cells (not even that rly).
We are but the atoms within the building blocks of the cells (with our own quarks (and quirks :p) within us); and our whole solar system itself but like a single part, such as the mitochondria (the powerhouse), of the cell.
We are so far removed from being able to understand for what purpose the universe exists, much farther removed from understanding such than our cells within us are removed from being able to understand why their universe exists and what purpose it exists for.

Sorry he got thumbs down just for that dumb alarm
i was in year 2 (1990ish) at an Australian public school when my teacher decided that me writing with my left hand wasn't worth messing up her seating plan , couldnt have me bumping elbows with the kid next to me. so i was forced to write with my right hand. I remember getting scissors cutting home work because i struggled cutting around the patterns. For years i felt like i was stupid for having this extra homework until i was and adult and talking to my mum about school and she explained how the teacher forced me to write/cut with my right hand. I wasn't dumb, i was just being forced to do something that was un-natural to me. Years of shame and embarrassment all over a seating plan. cheers teach.
I'm almost 40 now, i still write with my right and its still messy AF.
that is so sad.
This might make you feel better: Every US Presidential election since 1980 when at least one of the two major parties nominated a left-handed candidate, the winner was left-handed. Reagan, GHW Bush, Clinton, and Obama are all left handed.
This seems to be a major problem with (some) teachers. A friend of mine was forced to write with her right hand by the simple, and cruel, expedient of tying her left hand behind her back - although that was some years before your experience.
Oh, if only we could go back in time, presumably to last Thursday, and have a chat with these icons of the teaching profession.

Because it means we can't trust our memories
Memories are as real as you believe them to be. My brother was bleeding out & close to dying in March, 2019 due to an injury he caused himself due to psychosis caused by methamphetamine usage. I had to pin him down, closing his wounds to prevent him from bleeding out, while he was struggling & beating the living shit out of me trying to get away from me because he thought I was trying to kill him, even though I actually saved his life. What was happening in his brain was reality to him, same as the reality we experience. Our brains are only conveying a specific version of reality to us that has been developed over billions of years of evolution to best help us survive on our planet, but there is much that our senses aren't able to pick up. This is why the scientific method is so important to follow, as it eliminates the human biases that we are all prone to following, & basing our understanding of reality on logic.

My completely love the giants brain theory. That has been a thought in the back of my head ever since I was a child, maybe around 4, when playing with my sister and her dolls, I sat and pondered “I’m giving these dolls thoughts, emotions, actions, dreams, etc..... what if a giant is doing the same thing to me” and ever since then it had messed up my thought process.

regarding the phantom time thing, as an architecture student I learned a tiny bit about building typologies. We get these weird preconceptions about history, often forgetting there are huge overlaps in things we think are so far apart from each other. An example is how there was a 22 yr period where the fax machine and samurai existed at the same time. This can be applied to buildings too, many civilizations have copied roman design prinicples (they copied from the greeks and the greeks copied etc etc.)
Or how Samurai and anything existed at the same time. Japan was closed off af, man...
Not to mention the how advanced the Chinese were around the same time as the Romans and Greeks were just kind of coming up. Or how Cleopatra is closer to the inception of Apple then she is the building of the pyramids.
The horse and carriage was still the primary mode of transportation well after the existence of the airplane. I believe the automobile didn't become number one until the Model T had been around for a few years.

Heck, when the Germans invaded Poland at the onset of WWII over 20 years later, the Polish army still had cavalry on horseback.

The problem with simulation type theories is that it doesn’t answer the question (“why are we here”), it just kicks the can down the road (“why are the simulation makers here”).
Of course. After all, it's turtles all the way down.
Arguably, that's the problem with any theory I have heard. Like "why are we here?", "Well, ... ... big bang", "okay, but why big bang?"
No scientific theory attempts to answer the question "why". Science only concerns itself with "how".
@@tcphll yeah no. “A scientific theory differs from a scientific fact or scientific law in that a theory explains "why" or "how": a fact is a simple, basic observation, whereas a law is a statement (often a mathematical equation) about a relationship between facts.”

If you want proof of everyone is living in their own reality, ask 5 witnesses to an event like a car accident to describe what they saw and you will get 5 slightly different versions of the same event.
Exactly. A classic example of what our eyes see, what signals they send to the brain, how the brain interprets the signals and construct a vision. There are many opportunities for problems along the way (eyes might not be completely functional, nerve damage) then there is psychological interpretation. Plus store that "video" in memory and it can easily get scrambled. i.e. the classic catch a 10 inch fish, a year later it will be a 20 inch fish.

The theory that the entire video was created solely for the
purpose of being used by Joe as a segue into a commercial.
Last Thursdayism reminds me of a slightly more extreme version of the same idea that I used to go around asking people about as a kid. It really was the exact same idea but instead of last Thursday I used "one second ago."
"What if all of your memories and everything from the past was just fabricated and implanted in your head, and your existence actually started one second ago?"
I always used to come up with weird ideas like that. When my friend and I were 17 we got really high, like too high, and started walking to town to hang out with our friends, and during the walk I told my friend "When you walk you're not actually moving. You stay in the exact same spot in space, and the entire planet is rotating beneath you to simulate movement." I guess it made him terribly disoriented because he continued walking, silently, for about 6 or 8 steps, stopped, bent forward and started dry heaving. It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen.
Thanks for reminding me what a weird kid I was lol.

@Rusto Of all the ways you could have used your very large, superior intellect, *that's* what you chose; cruelty and rudeness?
There's actually a scientific version of the idea that all of reality itself is to some degree "conscious" that's actually falsifiable.
@@sock2828 Even as a thought experiment, I adore this. Einstein is attributed as saying "I want to know God's thoughts" and with this and similar theories, the response seems to be that literally, "we are". Being falsifiable gives the theory some scientific credence, and I really appreciate your response with that, because you've given me a few internet rabbit holes to wander!
A 19 minute video with one minute of Joe looking pensive during a woo woo alarm!
It was only a minute? Felt like 10.
😂😂😂😂 things get old if you watch things again
I once had a dream that when I wake up each morning, I live the life of a different person with all their memories intact. I would have a difficult time proving that was false.
It's 10:30 Sunday night and my wife just ran in (during the Woo Woo Alarm) wanting to know what's wrong. Joe, you can explain it to her.
😆
I hope Joe make Apology video Asap or I will tell Twitter .
The last theory is actually pretty cool. I like the thought of being a brain inside of a brain! Do I have a space structure in my brain, meaning little organisms with brains of their own exist? I hope so LOL.
yeah, ever watched simpsons. They had a counch gag based on it, like decades ago
I mean if you ever create little daydreams then it kinda makes sense
I cracked at the "Sylvester the 2nd" painting, with Stalones face. :P 12:50
edit: The count has been summoned!! I love the Easter eggs! on this video :D is it because we actually approaching Easter? :P Anyway, that was super fun!
I love everything that joe does but I'm not gonna lie the 40 seconds of that alarm really made me wanna rip my ears off, spoon out my eyeballs and cram them in the holes where my ears used to be.
"Those, those have always been there"
"Yes I know they've always been there, but im not sure of those had always been there last week..."
often used Pratchettism to describe the effects of time travel on non time travelers on the Discworld.
I love that without recognising the specific passage, I can immediately tell this is Pratchett.
the sylvester pope cracked me up XD
love all those woo woo theories, and yeah why they hate left handed people so much? do we know more stuff on the universe than they do? Are they trying to hide our immense power from ourselves 🤔
I think it goes back to the fact that when you look a mirror and move your right hand the reflection moves its left. So that somehow got construed into left-handed people are demons or the like.
My theory is that left handedness correlates with various presentations of neurodivergency, and being different was bad.
Never thought you gonna be here
Not exactly the same but when I was in kindergarten and part of 1st grade I was made to use my right hand for everything. Idk if it was common in the early 90's but my kindergarten teacher tested your primary hand by making you stand in front of her and start walking. Whatever foot you stepped first with was your dominant side, supposedly. Hence why I can do most things with both hands now. Kinda glad tbh, its come in handy 😅
@@secretpanda64 Yeah your Kindergarten teacher was just wrong. For instance, I'm left-handed, but right-footed, so I always step with my right foot first (except in marching band, where you have to step with your left foot first). I also always kick with my right foot, just as I always throw with my left hand.
Congratulations. Your reintroduction of the woo woo alarm had me both smile in silly (and probably misplaced) nostalgia and called my flat mate to my room as he wondered what type of alarm was going on. That being said, you won a second view on your video for that.
On the giant brain theory, since we can observe that the universe experienced a very violent event and is rapidly expanding, we live in a brain that apparently has been shot.
Of all the woo-woo theories, this is my favourite.
A better explanation would be the fractal nature of the universe and how matter orders itself, from the smallest to the biggest scale. That's why the brain cells, the milk in your coffee and the universe follow similar patterns. We can read as much or as little into that, but my conclusion wouldn't be giant brain.
knowing Joe enjoys RLM is just lovely. Real recognizes real!
...these complete strangers you've never met sure are real
Joe, Margaret Cavendish didn't JUST create half of the Marvel Cinematic Universe... SHE CREATED THE PREMISE FOR STARGATE AND THE PILOT FOR STARGATE ATLANTIS!!! The information that lead to finding the gate coordinates for SGA was at a gate room in a abandoned complex of the Ancients in the South Pole.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Atlantis
Not sure why but you holding on the woo woo alarm made me shoot tea out of both nostrils. Touché Joe.
I've been half sure that we are just a dream or daydream or thought problem of God since I was a little kid.
I've also wondered if we're the God that's dreaming some other creatures' reality.
German historian: _"So what if there's this thing called "phantom time", and some historical events didn't actually happen...."_
Oh no.
Illig isn't a German historian. He's an author and he holds a degree in German studies.
@@popelgruner595 Joke is joke
@@tommeakin1732 There is nothing funny about this.
@@popelgruner595 Some of us think that the concept of denying a massive genocide that took place in a first world nation within living memory is an absolute riot. :) Ah well, it's not everyone's cup of tea. I'm not into poop jokes, myself.
@@popelgruner595 Humour is complicated and subjective. The umlaut in your name kind of explains why you might find jokes like this to be a little "too close to home"; and that's okay. But some of us can even find jokes funny because they land close enough to home to grant them emotional significance
"Hello? Yes I would like to renew my auto warranty."
That cut deep Joe.
That last theory is really cool and it's definitely been touched on a bunch of times in the past by philosophers and the like, just not to such an amazing scientific extent.
Like the dreaming butterfly.
Although I'm now getting strong flashbacks to that episode of Adventure Time where Fin puts on the glasses and sees that our reality is just a small component of a bigger reality that's identical, then declares himself super smart.
That last theory is very Lovecraftian. Like how reality is the dream of Azathoth, and if he awakens, we cease to exist
Annoying alarm ends at 3:10
ive been lucid dreaming for years and am thoroughly convinced of the multiverse theory
What are your preferred constraints on the number of possible universes?
Why does lucid dreaming make you convinced of a multiverse?
Seems right. I have been lucid dreaming since I was a little girl and I have notices that I often go back to a specific dream world each with its own set of natural laws.
All I dream about is my teeth falling out
I do not dream.
it’s when you hear statements like ‘it was a low speed collision - 10,000 kph’ that you remember how bleeding massive space is
Imagine trying to relax in bed and getting woo woo’d whilst half asleep. Couldn’t be me.
It sent me into an immediate rage 😅
@@chenaraseepersad3482 All just to stretch the video to 20 minutes.
"the hollow Earth theory is empty". Well played sir, well played.
"The only thing that's phantom with this theory is any credibility behind the idea"
Now that's a burn if I ever heard one
I listen to these videos as I go to sleep and the woo woo alarm made me really sad and awake :(
I really like the Universe-As-A-Neural-Network theory. That makes more sense than most other theories I've ever heard
Read "The Kybalion"
I don't feel like it makes any more sense than anything else in this absurd world, but it puts some sort of meaning into it and that's why people gravitate towards it.
I personally don't believe the universe is actually real. The speed of light is an asymptotic barrier that prevents us from ever reaching anything beyond our local system. It's like a video game where you try to fly your jet off the side of the map, and the game rules prevent you from ever going anywhere that hasn't actually been committed to system memory.
I don't quite understand why people think the theory is crazy. From what I can understand watching this video the scientist proposed that all quantum, atomic and macro-atomic constructions have fundamentally a similar shape because it's the most stable.
He didn't say the universe is actually a brain, or that the universe is a conscious entity.
Like he mentioned, proving this theory wrong would be difficult so take it with a pinch of salt, but he never said quantum structures, atoms, molecules, humans, animals an the universe are part of the same organismo, just that their structures are stable because of evolution.
He certainly seems to be pointing to the structures found in reality itself. I find it it to be both rather elegant and open to extrapolation.
Here's my theory: you're actually Charlie Day, and the guy at the whiteboard on the show is your stunt double.
Also, the last theory is straight up Elder Scrolls lore with the godhead.
just listening to this with headphones, the duration of that woowoo alarm was worth a thumbs down by itself.
bro its called a joke
@@40watt53 Bro, it's called a bad joke.
Yeah fuck that alarm
Geez man, the content is still good. Yes it was annoying, but damn the video itself worth 5 thumbs up at least
Yes I didn't have head phones and was pissed.
*The first sci-fi book ever written was the Bible*
Sooooo... my cat just lost her friggin' mind at the extended woo woo alarm. I'm gonna replay it for her later tonight when she's trying to sleep.
LMAO
