1. Explain the virtual simulation theory of consciousness
In the video an overture of consciousness It explains that the eye in fact does very little but that in fact it believes itself to be more than it actually is. Consciousness talks about neurons, and neurons doesn’t talk about consciousness. Everything known in the world must come through the medium of consciousness. Every idea must arise through the medium of self reflective awareness. This idea contextualizes everything a person can ever know about the universe. The mind – brain debate is what gives us self awareness that we are more than just neurons. In the video brain burn it says that consciousness is a way around pure chance by developing a map of probabilities which can be visualized internally without having to be outsourced. Consciousness is disassociation.
2. How does the brain trick us and for what benefit is it for our genetic survival
In the cerebral mirage it explains that one of the most significant discoveries is that the world we perceive it not as it appears to be. Our day to day reality is built up of bits of information that betray their real origin. Vedantists in India argue that such trickery provides a survival advantage. In brain burn this is called the Darwinian advantage. That theory is that since most of the awareness is in our head it doesn’t have to face the very real and deathly consequences of being ”without” Being within survives and being without usually ends up dead. This advantage helps us to dream and to ponder without having actually consequences yet still get to explore the world. An example of trickery would be the color of the water of the ocean. In cerebral mirage when the dad explained to his son the water was blue the son having scientific knowledge responded that the water wasn’t actually blue but that different light waves get absorbed and refracted.
