   [music] >> Roger, let's talk about and do a retrospective on the mind in general, consciousness in particular, in which you have staked out extraordinarily fascinating positions, uh uh very contrarian views where you challenge the conventional wisdom of computational functionalism as a uh as applied to the mind. So, you argue that the mind is not computational, and even more provocatively that the known laws of physics cannot explain consciousness. So, why non-computational and why the known laws of physics cannot explain consciousness? Well, with the why non-computational, my question i…

   I want to say yes it is possible. Uh so the I don't know if you're familiar who's the the Drosophilia upload in the last few months. Okay, a few hands in the crowd. So actually um for those of you who did not raise your hand um it is possible to map out the conneto of a fruitfly and create a computational model for that conneto that allows you to replicate the neural behavior of the fruitly in detail. And so neuroscientists can now run experiments on a computational fruitly. And yeah, the obvious interest is in the destructive upload of human beings. Can we create simulations of human brains b…

   He's not a physicist. Uh we talked about culture. No, I know with you, too. But you are a man of many opinions. And so I want to talk I will come back on the Into the Impossible podcast if it's now. Yes. No, but I'll come back next week if you like to talk about other things. I'm happy to drive down. I just drove down from LA to talk about dark energy and I want to talk about dark energy. I think I'm tired of doing physics this way. If I'm going to say something like here is the formula for the dark energy. I don't think I want to talk about is Lenny Suskin losing his hair. All right. Well, in…

   Darwin and physics, high-energy theoretical physics, agree that space time is doomed. It's not fundamental reality, and the search is on in the last 10 years among physicists to find structures entirely beyond space time. Not not curled up inside space time, beyond space time. We've we've mistaken a headset for the truth because it's it's easy. If that's all you've seen all your life you use a headset, it's hard to imagine something outside of it. Now we can we're free using mathematics to ask what kind of structures could we posit um beyond space time? [music] Hello everyone watching and list…

   the following is a conversation with Steven Wolfram his second time in the podcast he's a computer scientist mathematician theoretical physicist and the founder and CEO of Wolfram research a company behind Mathematica wol from alpha Wolfram language and the new wolf from physics project he's the author of several books including a new kind of Science and the new book a project to find the fundamental Theory of physics this second round of our conversation is primarily focused on this latter Endeavor of searching for the physics of our universe in simple rules that do their work on hypergraphs …

     Did you ever have a chance to watch, we  were emailing a couple of months back,   the latest episode with Daniel Schmachtenberger  and I on artificial intelligence where we really,   it was only a little bit on AI, it was mostly  about how humans have had narrow boundary   criteria, nation states' economic systems have  out competed wide boundary, more wisdom types   of systems. Did you ever listen to that and  what do you think about? That intelligence   versus wisdom is a little bit of a narrow  boundary g…

   Um, and so if you believe this, then you can basically see the causal process of everything that is consciousness as being something that can be described by physics. And it's a generalization. You know, some might claim, oh, we don't we don't understand the physics of consciousnesses yet. But the frame is that once we do understand it, we can use our model of how physics is operating in order to create an accurate simulation or replica which will be computational. Do you think that software exists? Uh yeah, in the naive sense of exists and software but it's not physical matter, right? It's it…

   [Music] welcome to the mind and matter podcast i'm your host nick jacomis and today i'm speaking with professor donald hoffman dr hoffman is a cognitive psychologist and professor emeritus of cognitive sciences at the university of california irvine he studies consciousness visual perception and evolutionary psychology using mathematical modeling and psychophysical experiments he is also the author of many scientific papers and several books the most recent popular science book being the case against reality why evolution hid the truth from our eyes donald and i discussed a variety of topics r…

And with that said, back to the show. I think what you're saying is true. And I also just want to clarify for people listening. You know, we're kind of talking about consciousness and mental states. This isn't just a view that materialism doesn…

    Would you agree, John, that uh, what Gibson finally did is he uh, has in principle saved our generation from Cartesianism. He has broken that bifurcationist axiom, which has bedeviled our civilization since the 17th century. I I mean, I would put him in with a bunch of other people, which are people that are, you know, important in 4E cogsci. Uh, I think Merleau-Ponty does tremendous work on trying to overcome the bifurcation. Um, I think Whitehead, he even uses the term, is doing a lot lot to try to overcome the bi- the bifurcation. So I think there's there's a been a whole group of people th…
