1. Explain the virtual simulation theory of consciousness.
Answer: "Consciousness is Dissociation"(Brain burn video). Consciousness is a virtual simulator according to the video brain burn on YouTube. In the video they compared imaging things in a dream to actually doing them in real life, and what they found was that people often times use the virtual simulator without even knowing it. When someone day dreams about doing something before they actually do it is a virtual simulator, because you get to play out the scenario in your head before it actually happens. They also said in the video that it's kind of like Darwin's theory of natural selection if you are not out of the food chain you will be made into food. Virtual simulators help humans in vision the outcomes of what consciously may occur next by anticipating the way our actions might play out in a given scenario. This also helps us make conscious decisions in everyday life by predicting what our decision may effect in the future. Our body also likes to believe in illusions and this is why our brain is also considered the most important aspect of the virtual simulator, because it control our thoughts and desires.
2. How does the brain trick us and for what benefit is it for our genetic survival?
Answer: According to the Disneyland video the brain deceives us when we least expect it. Like on the Haunted House ride where there is what looks like a woman's head in a glass ball, but really it's just a hologram of a woman's head in the glass ball. The human brain and the human eye believe what they are seeing as a real head, but it is just a trick our mind plays on ourselves that lets us believe that what we are seeing is really happening when in fact its not. The Pirate of the Caribbean ride also does this to our brains, just like the speaker said in the video, "I thought the pirates were real human beings in there", the illusion comes from the lighting inside the ride. The lighting tricks the brain into thinking that the pirates are actual actors or workers playing pirates. These illusions the brain plays on the human protect the human from genetic damage by allowing the eye to only see what it wants to see.
