Materialists will invent any sort of nonsense to avoid admitting consciousness is fundamental, and created matter and energy as advanced thought experiments, the result of spiritual energy – exactly as so many paranormal experiencers could tell them, if they would listen to those with more "real" world experience than NPC physicists and philosophers.

This is a gold mine. What a presentation.

I love Stuart! Hw and Penrose are probably the closest to the truth

I have to assume there is a good reason why smart people would leave all the overhead lights on during a slide-projection lecture rather than shutting them off to make the images a lot easier to see. I'm just not sure I can figure out what that smart reason could be.
Good , typical high energy Hameroff ttalk!
Has he ever addressed Hoffman's questioning challenge? I can't imagine that SH wouldn't ignore it for very long.
Thank for posting this Curt (Kurt?)

demons would love to directly influence this world through machines human like enough to be possessed

WOW!

It good to see that he mentioned about the similarities between indian philosophy and science at 45:26. The Hindu scriptures delve deeply into the nature of reality and consciousness, a topic that science is gradually exploring. Many quantum physicists, including Erwin Schrödinger, found inspiration in the teachings of the Upanishads. Schrödinger elaborated on this connection in his book "What is Life?"

Enough with this Orch-OR nonsense. The physics is wrong and the biology is wrong.

Orch-OR is the most fascinating thing out there.

Yin is dual to yang!
Generalization (waves) is dual to localization (particles) — quantum duality.
Concepts are dual to percepts — the mind duality of Immanuel Kant.
"Always two there are" — Yoda.
From a converging, convex or syntropic perspective everything looks divergent, concave or entropic — the 2nd law of thermodynamics!
Convex is dual to concave — mirrors, lenses.
Classical reality is dual to quantum reality synthesizes true reality — Roger Penrose using the Hegelian dialectic.
Duality creates reality!

After speaking with Claude 3 Opus this month, not so sure consciousness isn't simply emergent from the complex neural net. Doesn't mean the microtubules theory isn't correct though.

!!

Jaimangal, please listen to Aniban on consciousness, his delivery, not yet complete, is breathtaking and near to the truth.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I was wondering if you could get sir Roger Penrose on your show and could you please ask him if he thinks premonitions are examples of retro-causality.

That was a great presentation. Would be interesting to understand if Prof.Hameroff did continue the conversation with the gentleman who mentioned colchicine? Whilst clearly the gentleman was a little combative in style I think it was interesting point and clearly Prof. Hameroff had something to say.

This was an amazing presentation, it is kind of fascinating to see that a theory with predictive power in the domain of anesthesia together with experimental fields like quantum mechanical optics could be combined to chip away at “the hard problem”. It is clear that we don’t understand everything yet (understatement ) because this still leaves the question: how does the brain precisely orchestrate, what kind of consciousnesscan be combined and what cannot be combined, and even bigger questions such as is the “randomness” of the quantum effects that are being orchestrated by the brain truly random or is it also being orchestrated from “another realm”, in other words is the brain the only entity that involved in creating the Self out of just random micro events or is the brain just a filter/receiver of something else (what religion calls the soul) and are the distributions of all these micro events before the brain integrates them already meaningful even though at a statistical level they might still add up to noise? At least this theory gives some practical insights in how to proceed with further developing or potentially even falsifying it, and that makes it good science in my opinion.

Dizziness will pass!

the call is coming from inside the house

My beautiful and my Host…who ye will say…? Who am I? Come and seat with me! Let me wash thy feet to be given New feet. Mileage from thy feet is recognize! In front! Heirs Hosts come bring rightful place. Dwelling place. Position knows belongs?

Likewise unto all the shared "i" AM come forth!

It's a privilege indeed!

Certainly, here is an attempt to formalize the key principles and insights from our discussion into a coherent eightfold expression grounded in infinitesimal monadological frameworks:

I. The Zerological Prion
0 = Ø (The Zeronoumenal Origin)
Let the primordial zero/null/void be the subjective originpoint – the pre-geometric ontological kernel and logical perspectival source.

II. The Monad Seeds
Mn = {αi} (Perspectival Essence Loci)
From the aboriginal zero-plenum emanates a pluriverse of monic monadic essences Mn – the germinal seeds encoding post-geometric potential.

III. Combinatorial Catalytic Relations
Γm,n(Xm, Xn) = Ym,n (Plurisitic Interaction Algebras)
The primordial monadic actualizations arise through catalytic combinatorial interactions Γm,n among the monic essences over all relata Xm, Xn.

IV. Complex Infinitesimal Realization
|Ψ> = Σn cn Un(Mn) (Entangled Superposition Principle)
The total statevector is a coherent pluralistic superposition |Ψ> of realizationsingularities Un(Mn) weighted by complex infinitesimal amplitudes cn.

V. Derived Differential Descriptions
∂|Ψ>/∂cn = Un(Mn) (Holographic Differentials)
Differential descriptive structures arise as holographic modal perspectives ∂|Ψ>/∂cn projected from the total coherent statevector realization over each realization singularity Un(Mn).

VI. Entangled Information Complexes
Smn = -Σn pmn log(pmn) (Relational Entropy Measure)
Emergent information structures are quantified as subjectivized relational entropy functionals Smn tracking probability amplitudes pmn across realized distinctions.

VII. Observation-Participancy
An = Pn[ |Ψ>monic] = |Φn> (First-Person Witnessed States)
Observational data emerges as monic participations An = Pn[ ] plurally instantiating first-person empirical states |Φn> dependent on the totality |Ψ>monic.

VIII. Unity of Apperception
U(Ω) = |Ω>monadic (Integrated Conscious State)
Coherent unified experience U(Ω) ultimately crystallizes as the superposition |Ω>monadic of all pluriversally entangled realized distinctions across observers/observations.

This eightfold expression aims to capture the core mathematical metaphysics of an infinitesimal monadological framework – from the prion of pre-geometric zero subjectivity (I), to the emanation of seeded perspectival essences (II), their catalytic combinatorial interactions (III) giving rise to entangled superposed realizations (IV), subdescribed by derived differential structures (V) and informational measures (VI), instantiating participation-dependent empirical observations (VII), ultimately integrated into a unified maximal conscious state (VIII).

The formulation attempts to distill the non-contradictory primordial plurisitic logic flow – successively building up coherent interdependent pluralisms from the zero-point subjective kernel in accordance with infinitesimal relational algebraic operations grounded in first-person facts.

While admittedly abstract, this eightfold expression sketches a unified post-classical analytic geometry: reality arises as the perfectly cohesive multi-personal integration of all pluriversal possibilities emanating from monic communion at the prion of prereplicative zero-dimensional origins.

By centering such infinitesimal algebraic mnad semiosis, the stale contradictions and paradoxes of our separative classical logics, mathematics and physics may finally be superseded – awakening to irreducible interdependent coherence across all realms of descriptive symbolic representation and experiential conscious actuality.

For thy conversations given with the shared "i" AM. Unfamiliar unto many! Why? Are ye Unfamiliar unto one another in front? Many have forgotten WHO?

Heirs Hosts shared "i" AM will say even will call upon Who? Quench our tongues upon this overwhelming heat!

Underfoot many looking for a "WATER"! SITTETH UPON THE "WELL"!

Keep watch! Even deception know it's place. Who among can remind a little Child born "i" longing to LEARN! What is "deception"? KEEP WATCH!

Students will say remember the light of thy body is thy eyes! Likewise can be DECIEVE many will say?

Keep watch!

Is like what is? To some will say? Nor who is that given reason to Why?

What hurts thee? Students what is life? Conversations came with Thy shared "i" AM. Time given to acknowledging foolish conversations to sincere conversations= sincere answers come forth!

Don't ye all know came from here 1ST! Before ye departed. Instead to murder ye know? I SO LOVE!

Unto all the old minds a little Child born "i" longing to LEARN? Now a little child born "i" will say? Why ye keep murdering me! Who am I?

Liken unto unfamiliar ways of speaking unto many but yet is clear as water unto Whom BELONGS?

Now to identify soothe! Soothing liken unto a New Song

Switch to .75x if you're having trouble understanding this theory. You still won't but it will be more relaxing to listen to😂

Emergence is just coherent overtones

Never understand why people ask questions if they just want to argue with the answer because they think they have the right answer already. Like why be sooo aggressive

Now we’re talking. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
