#Consciousness #TheMatrix #SimulationHypothesis David Chalmers is an Australian philosopher and cognitive scientist specializing in the areas of philosophy of mind and philosophy of language. He is a Professor of Philosophy and Neural Science at New York University, as well as co-director of NYU's Center for Mind, Brain and Consciousness (along with Ned Block). In 2006, he was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. In 2013, he was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. David Chalmers first formulated the “The Hard Problem of Consciousness” in his paper Facing up to the problem of consciousness (1995) and expanded upon it in his book The Conscious Mind (1996). His works have proven to be provocative. Some, such as Steven Pinker, have praised Chalmers for his argumentative rigor and "impeccable clarity." Others, such as Daniel Dennett and Patricia Churchland, believe that hard problem is really more of a collection of easy problems, and will be solved through further analysis of the brain and behavior. Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy https://amzn.to/3oqp0Cz Virtual reality is genuine reality; that’s the central thesis of Reality+. In a highly original work of “technophilosophy,” David J. Chalmers gives a compelling analysis of our technological future. He argues that virtual worlds are not second-class worlds, and that we can live a meaningful life in virtual reality. We may even be in a virtual world already. Along the way, Chalmers conducts a grand tour of big ideas in philosophy and science. He uses virtual reality technology to offer a new perspective on long-established philosophical questions. How do we know that there’s an external world? Is there a Glod? What is the nature of reality? What’s the relation between mind and body? How can we lead a good life? All of these questions are illuminated or transformed by Chalmers’ mind-bending analysis. 00:00:00 Intro 00:04:57 Judging the book cover! 08:41:04 Defining the hard problem of consciousness. 10:58:24 Why is there tension between physics and philsophy (since Galileo) - The "too hard" basket. 00:16:23 The Chalmers equation for the simulation hypothesis? 00:25:31 What have we learned about consciouness form computer analogues? Are the machines catching up? 00:32:20 Is there a "limiter" in the Chalmer's equation? 00:36:23 Can an AI be happy and what would that even mean? 00:43:24 What is it from bit? Or is that bit from it? 00:50:20 Brian pushes back! What it take for the maker of the simulation to be god or godlike? 00:54:02 The notion of respect and awe for a creator. 00:57:34 Why create the world (or the simulation)? 01:01:27 Recursion question-What's running on what?
