I'm not going to look at the picture anymore

// I pulled the paraphrase from Yandex.
The dark mystery of evolution | ALI
00:00 Neurosil and space.
- Scientists discuss how the space between the eyes and the screen can be intangible and cause existential anxiety.
02:06 Is space doomed?
- Scientists suggest that space may be an illusion and doomed to disappear.
- If space disappears, then all objects in it will also disappear.
08:17 Vision and the perception of space
- Scientists discuss how seagulls perceive space and how their vision differs from humans.
- It turns out that gull chicks do not see volume and detail, but only conditional shape and colour.
11:18 Donald Hoffman and his theory.
- Hoffman ran hundreds of thousands of simulated games in which organisms saw reality differently.
- In the end, the organisms that saw reality were less fit than those that saw the benefit of fit.
16:24 Kant and his theory
- Kant argued that the objects and phenomena we observe are not what exists in reality.
- Our perception is a fabric that envelops something that exists in reality.
18:22 Experiments with quantum entanglement
- The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for experiments that prove Bell's inequalities are violated.
- This suggests that particles have no properties until they are measured, and that one particle instantly knows the state of another.
21:56 The speed limit and its significance
- Einstein showed that gravity is limited by the speed of light, which reassures us and makes the world more understandable.
- Without this limitation, we wouldn't be able to live in a world with different speeds and distances.
23:06 Nonlocality and quantum mechanics.
- French mathematician Polpi V. described a case where a star could fly away from a black hole at infinite speed, which could instantly destroy the solar system.
- According to the theory of relativity, a killer star could come from the future.
24:50 The super-determinism hypothesis.
- The hypothesis states that all the actions of the experimenter in every laboratory in the world were predetermined at the moment of the big bang.
- Physicists are willing to accept the existence of any magic to preserve the concept of space.
27:46 The bubble paradox and the general theory of relativity.
- Photons from a lamp propagate in all directions at once, forming bubbles that collapse on the retina.
- Einstein created the general theory of relativity to take a break from thinking about the behaviour of light.
30:32 Nonlocality in space.
- Matter in the early universe may have been distributed in different ways, making homogeneity of the cosmos almost impossible.
- American physicist Charu S. Mizner spoke about the difficulties of explaining the homogeneity of the cosmos.
- Russian theorist Yakov Zeldovich suggested that quantum nonlocality could explain the homogeneity of the cosmos.
32:35 Black holes and singularities
- Albert Einstein called black holes irrational and incomprehensible, but physicists study them and believe that the matter inside them can jump from one place to another without overcoming the distance between them.
- The main mystery of black holes is in their cores, the singularities, where matter reaches infinite density and space-time is torn apart.
38:35 The holographic principle and space
- Scientists suggest that the three-dimensional world we live in may be a hologram encoded on a two-dimensional surface.
- This means that space offers so much room for matter, but does not actually contain as much of it as it can hold.
- If you try to fill space, you strangely fail to do so because there is no more space in our three-dimensional universe than there would be if it were two-dimensional.
40:35 Distance and the illusion of space
- Perhaps our existence requires the concept of distance to appear, and so evolution has created this illusion for us.
- The idea is that the space we observe may be the product of some underlying structure, and we are not sliding passively in an already existing space, but something is happening all the time.
43:24 Lorentzian contraction and the perception of space
- The video discusses how we perceive objects in space, and how our brain creates volume from two-dimensional images.
- Lorentzian contraction is an illusion in which objects appear smaller than they actually are.
45:19 Object perception and volume
- The video discusses how our brain perceives objects in space based on patterns of accommodation.
- Objects are perceived as three-dimensional, even though they are actually two-dimensional.
48:07 Experiments with touch and vision
- The video discusses experiments that have shown that touch and vision are unrelated.
- People who have just acquired sight cannot determine the shape of objects by touch.
51:54 The two-slit experiment and the wave function
- Video explains the two-slit experiment, which shows that even the possibility of measurement is enough for the wave function to collapse.
53:07 Wave quantum properties of molecules
- In 2019, a world record was set at the University of Vienna for observing wave quantum properties in a huge molecule the size of 2,000 atoms.
- Scientists say quantum weirdness is not limited to the subatomic level, but extends to all matter.
54:59 Interface theory of perception
- Donald Hoffman proposes the theory that our perception of the world is an interface that hides the true nature of things.
- Computer interfaces have evolved to hide the internal complexity and true nature of things that would interfere with the tasks at hand.
58:36 Perception of space and distance
- Hoffman argues that our perception of space and distance depends on the energy expenditure to obtain resources and the ratio of energy expenditure to available energy.
01:01:26 Maths and fundamental nature
- Hoffman believes that maths can have a fundamental nature and push us towards truth.
01:02:24 The hard problem of consciousness
- The video discusses the problem of consciousness, which Donald Hoffman calls "the hard problem."
- He argues that consciousness does not fit into the natural scientific picture of the world because consciousness or "qualia" is not part of the interface we study.
- Hoffman proposes the theory that consciousness is a manifestation of a fundamental level of reality and not simply the result of neurons.
01:03:16 Conscious Realism.
- Hoffman develops his theory of consciousness by calling it "conscious realism."
- He argues that consciousness is a manifestation of the true mathematical nature of reality and the foundation of being.
- Hoffman insists that his theory is open to critical methods of scientific enquiry and can be subjected to experimental verification.

In general, in all this mess you can find a lot of references to a lot of theories. If you want, if you load it all into the AI, you can ask questions along the lines of "what's the general outcome, conclusions".
I'll note that it's fun to see the interpretation that the world is 2D and 3D is an illusion. In parallel to this, to see how modern AIs bring 2D pictures to life in 3D animations.
Remember the conversation in this thread a long time ago about what is substance and what is information? There is a video on this topic, which I highly recommend to watch.
These are all categories of thinking, they have no existence of their own :)
Starting tomorrow, I'll be posting the material of the long-promised breakdown of the "AI Uprising" topic in parts.
Mm, the pathos has arrived.
I anticipate the epitaph on the coffin lid of the stillborn AI :)
