Perception - The reality beyond matter

this is fuckin crazy

I think you can compare matter to HTML. What our senses send to the brain is not what the source is like. Its simplified so that we can comprehend it and operate within this environment at the price of not being able to understand the nature of reality.

AS YOU WISH...

As soon as you say this is truth, it changes.

I call bullshit.

The brain is the observer. Research in those with brain damage shows that such things as reason and even the concept of the self correspond to locations in the brain.

We are completely material.

I was with you until you started with this soul bullshit. There's no scientific proof of the soul and no reason that a brain can't be the observer. In fact research on people with a damaged brain shows that you can correlate some times of damage with mirroring damage to the ability to reason.

GROSS oversimplification that I believe misguides from any potential truth.

Obersvation and idea are not the same. Observation is the consumption of data - idea is the creation of data.

Just because I do not currently see the bird does not mean it ceases to exist!

If I have an object hidden in a box, and I reveal it before a group of any number of people greater than one without their prior knowledge of the object - how is it we all see the same object?

The world is being simulated in your brain which is part of the world which is being simulated.. which.. wait, what? :p

Interesting video for those who don't know how perception works, but the fact that our brain shows us a simulation based on sensory input doesn't mean that the input doesn't exist. It is a very interesting idea though, but there are some logical leaps in here.

PS: I heard you like brains so I put a brain in your brain so you can think while you think.

It doesn't mean that the input doesn't exist but...  Can you elaborate on logical leaps, please? I would like to learn more... from different points of view.
