That’s a powerful realization! Recognizing confirmation bias is a significant step towards broader and more objective understanding. It’s great that the channel has contributed to such insights. Keep exploring and questioning; every bit of new understanding can lead to even more enlightening discoveries! Thanks for sharing your journey and for the love. Keep watching and growing with us!

Keep up the good quality. Thank you

Hey! Thanks for your support! Any suggestions for our next videos?

We need to be more compassionate for others and ourselves in a large way, as we hide our own selves and influences even from ourselves. But i dont like the deterministic framework, too mechanistic and doesnt leave room for much else. The channel Formscapes recently put up a well thought out argument for it ..."If you believe that you are your brain and you believe that the behaviors of the brain are determined in a strictly bottom up manner by the lower level substrates that the brain adheres within, then it would seem that the brain as a whole would contribute nothing in causal terms. The causal determinacy is already completed as it were by the lowest level of subatomic interaction events. Within such reductionistic thought there is nothing left for your consciousness to actually do, as all of the causal work is being performed by the substrate which your body is comprised of. Your consciousness then appears to be essentially no more than a mere spectator, which is watching your body go through the motions while incessantly falling prey to the illusion that your subjectivity is actually doing anything at all. But it is here that we can see the massive and irredeemable inconsistency within this manner of thinking. If the world is understood to be comprised exclusively by matter, and matter is understood to be that which determines the world, then how can there be such a thing as a subjectivity that contributes no such determination. How can there be any room for something that is essentially a mere phantom. Something which lacks any causal efficacy whatsoever. If our sense of subjectivity does not do anything then this implies it cannot be identified with any of the material constituents of the human organism."... sorry if i didnt quote it perfectly but its a good video.

Your critique of deterministic frameworks raises important questions about the role and nature of consciousness. It's intriguing to consider the implications if consciousness is more than a passive byproduct of physical processes. If we accept that consciousness has no causal efficacy, it indeed seems reduced to a mere spectator, as you suggest. However, this perspective might overlook the potential for consciousness to interact with and possibly influence neuronal processes in ways not strictly dictated by lower-level physical events. There are theories in cognitive science and philosophy, such as emergentism, which suggest that higher-level phenomena like consciousness can arise from but are not reducible to lower-level physical processes. These emergent properties might have their own causal powers, albeit not in the conventional sense. Thus, while matter forms the substrate of our being, the emergent properties of consciousness could play a critical role in shaping our experiences and actions, potentially providing a form of 'top-down' causation that challenges strict reductionism. This viewpoint opens up a more nuanced understanding of free will and agency within a universe that is otherwise largely deterministic.
