Leonard Susskind - Must the Universe Contain Consciousness?

Free access to Closer to Truth's library of 5,000 videos: bit.ly/376lkKN
Our universe seems fine-tuned for life, with the constants of physical laws having to be within tight boundaries. Does this mean that the #universe has a goal of #consciousness? Is there a directedness of the universe toward consciousness? Is consciousness entirely contingent or is it something special, even a ultimate object of universal development?

    I don't think consciousness was mentioned in this video.

    Fantastic interviewer. Asking great questions to let his interviewee talk about deeply complex things and make them digestible. Well done!

    I love how well Prof. Susskind explains incredibly hard subjects, may I say: as well as Feynman did. Also, I love this interviewer. He asks relevant questions and he understands both what he is asking and Susskind's answer to it.

    Let me assure you that your work is very much appreciated by many people I know. You are asking the right people the right questions and have established a very valuable archive of contemporary metaphysical consensus. Not hiding it all behind a pay wall will only help you achieve more long term if only bc Karma is definitely favouring the democratic availability of knowledge approach you chose.

    Can we just appreciate how good this dude looks for 81 years old! Still looks like he’s in his 60’s! And he’s as sharp as ever

    Leonard Susskind is my favorite, hard to describe why, but his attitude is so relatable isn't it, he's one of us who looks at the Universe and sees how crazy everything is, how does it all work, where does it come from, how, why, he's just so eager to get answers, and the best thing is that he has the intelligence and fascination to understand it scientifically so he can teach us other dummies.

    I don’t pretend to understand most of what they’re talking about, but I totally respect intellectual honesty from people far smarter than I. This is why I love this channel!❤

    Great dialogue! We sould not give up and that's great. We must begin to appreciate with humility that the creation as such is perhaps beyond the understanding of our intellect. It appears sometimes that the very purpose of intellect seems to transcend it!
