To take control of your life and make even your wildest dreams come true, you're going to have to embrace one simple fact.

0:05.9

You're living inside of a simulation, a simulation created by your brain.

0:10.9

This is how the brain gives us a reality that's at least simple enough that we can manage it, but like the AI algorithms on our social feeds, it also means that our brains dictate not only what we look at, but what we see.

0:22.9

AI researcher Yoshabak is going to help us better understand how this simulation works and how to make it work for us.

0:31.9

I think people suffer needlessly because they confuse the distorted narrative running inside of their minds with actual

0:39.4

reality. But if I'm right, and we don't have access to the quote unquote real world, and instead,

0:45.3

we're just a brain and a vat running a simulation. What do we need to understand about the nature

0:50.5

of this self-generated simulation in order to live our lives well.

0:59.1

When we talk about the brain and the vet, of course, the vet here is, as far as you know,

1:04.2

our physical body that is marching through a physical universe and contains a skull full of cells that have to get along

1:13.0

and generate a model of reality and of the individual itself and its relationship to reality.

1:19.8

And the purpose of that whole thing is to feed out these cells and to keep them in play.

1:26.6

Not just for this generation, but over many, many generations, because

1:30.5

we evolved not for this particular moment in time, but for a longer course.

1:35.5

And in this long, multi-generational course, we adapted to certain circumstances, the

1:39.7

basically conditions under which our ancestors live, and in many ways, our world has changed in the last

1:46.3

few generations rapidly away from the ways in which our great grandparents live their lives.

1:53.2

And these discontinuities are, on one hand, extremely exciting, and they force us to adapt

1:57.9

to new circumstances. But they also are very unusual from an evolutionary

2:02.5

perspective for the things that we're confronted with.

2:05.4

So a lot of the experience that we have are alienating.

2:08.7

And it's also very difficult to see in the future and to see how long we'll be around
