Description

In this video, I take you through some of the darkest theories about consciousness — from split-brain experiments suggesting your mind may be less unified than it feels, to experiments showing that your brain may begin making decisions before you become consciously aware of them. We’ll explore the idea that the “self” inside your head may only be a model created by the brain, that consciousness could be nothing more than a powerless observer watching decisions it never actually made, and even the possibility that the feeling of being conscious is itself misleading us about what consciousness really is. Finally, we look at Panpsychism — the idea that consciousness may not be something brains create at all, but a basic feature of reality that exists throughout the universe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here’s a playlist full of these types of videos! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW1SzjCZ6VE&list=PLgVMYQ8bgdj4q741CEJ1yTANAgFGsvWUl&index=1 Check out Every Type of Black Hole Explained → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GprjiFSsLOI Check out Every Dimension Explained in 9 Minutes → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW1SzjCZ6VE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ⏱ Chapters: [0:00] Split-Brain Consciousness [2:16] Unconscious Decisions [4:34] The Self-Model [6:46] Epiphenomenalism [9:21] Illusionism [11:40] Panpsychism ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For business inquiries: [email protected] — DISCLAIMER — This video is made for entertainment and educational purposes.
