What is subjective reality?

What is subjective reality?

Reality and the perception of time.

David Eagleman gives the keynote talk on "The Brain and The Now" at the Long Now Member Summit and is joined onstage after his talk by Stewart Brand and Danny Hillis for further discussion and Q&A.

This video poses some interesting questions. Some concerning on how are brain works. Other questions regarding why schizophrenia. And yet again how artificial intelligence might work in the future.

Schizophrenic artificial intelligence really isn't as far as it might seem as a consequence, which has already proven to be a bit true.

he uses the concept of "physical time"
that's something...

@fakable our bodies have an internal clock. That has been known for a number of decades now.

@DeWayfarer

what is an internal clock?

a clock is needed to synchronize you with something that is not you.

the existence of the internal clock is impossible without an external stimulus.

In a hyperbaric chamber your clock will stop working.

@fakable was just reading this.

More than just one clock at that.

@DeWayfarer
this information confirms my words. there is no internal clock without an external stimulus. there is synchronization. this is what your video is about.

@fakable physical time exits no matter how it's measure. I am only collaborating both what David mentioned as well as the article mentions.

Interesting to note though the article states one is measured in decades. Now how that works nothing is stated.

@DeWayfarer

physical time does not exist

there is Einstein's concept of space-time as a theoretical measuring scale for mathematical calculations

@fakable argue it with both of them! 🤷🏻‍♂️😄

It's "subjective" after all, as I stated in the title.

fakable

@DeWayfarer

Einstein agrees with me. it is you who disagree with us

@fakable I don't believe you are understanding either one.

Subjective reality isn't actual reality.

@DeWayfarer
"I don't believe you are understanding either one."

i don't care what you believe. i know. you don't.

"Subjective reality isn't actual reality."

you have no access to objective reality. only the small spectrum of reality mediated by your consciousness.

@fakable exactly my point! As well as their point.

What our senses pick up isn't necessarily real.

Another short clip by David yet slightly different. Sorry there's no YouTube video on this one. 😞
I've looked.

https://www.pbs.org/video/brain-david-eagleman-episode-1-clip-1/

David explains how the brain is tricked by the checker shadow illusion. What we see doesn’t necessarily match on to the reality beyond our senses.

@DeWayfarer
If it's about shades of gray, that's understandable

@fakable yet it doesn't follow what we see. The timing exists yet it's subjective timing. Not real time.
