This gives me great hope. https://futurism.com/videos/brain-ha...cious-reality/ |
From the video:
Quote:
Our conscious experiences of the world around us and ourselves within it are kinds of controlled hallucinations.
Instead of perception depending largely on signals coming into the brain from the outside world, it depends as much, if not more on perceptual predictions flowing in the opposite direction.
We don’t just passively perceive the world, we actively generate it.
Perception = a kind of controlled hallucination.
When we agree about our hallucinations, we call that Reality.

Or maybe one could say that Reality is but a
reflection of our “collective controlled hallucination”.
Aren’t
“predictions flowing in the opposite direction” akin to a “Morphic Field” type of behaviour, where we find resonance – functionality within the ‘predictable’ patterns created by our particular (cultural) version of the collective controlled dream (making)?
Why do you Busby say:
“This gives me great hope.” ?
