0:00.0 | To take control of your life and make even your wildest dreams come true, |
0:03.2 | you're going to have to embrace one simple fact. |
0:05.8 | You're living inside of a simulation. |
0:08.3 | A simulation created by your brain. |
0:10.8 | This is how the brain gives us a reality that's at least simple enough that we can manage it, |
0:14.7 | but like the AI algorithms on our social feeds, it also means that our brains dictate |
0:19.7 | not only what we look at, but what we see. AI researcher Yoshabok is going to help us better |
0:25.6 | understand how this simulation works and how to make it work for us. |
0:32.2 | I think people suffer needlessly because they confuse the distorted narrative running inside |
0:37.8 | of their minds with actual reality, but if I'm right and we don't have access to the quote-unquote |

0:59.5 | When we talk about the brain and the vat of course, the vat here is as far as you know |

1:17.2 | itself and its relationship to reality and the purpose of that whole thing is to feed all these |
1:22.4 | cells and to keep them in play and not as for this generation, but over many, many generations |
1:30.2 | because we evolved not forward this particular moment in time, but for a longer course and in this |
1:36.1 | long multi-generational course, we adapted to certain circumstances, the basic conditions |
1:40.7 | under which our ancestors lived and in many ways our world has changed in the last two generations |
1:47.0 | rapidly away from the ways in which our great grandparents lived their lives and these |
