In this brief and most fascinating topic, Sapolsky comments on toxoplasmosis and reveals some startling research that suggests thisparasite can not only invade your body but effects your decision making as a result. As an analogy,it's not a struggle to relate to times when one simply could not help but pick at that zit, even though doing so would inflame it, rupture surrounding cell walls, and quite possibly result in a bigger outbreak. Try as one might, a persistent, unwanted thought would relentlessly pop into the mind. And the zit would be telling you the whole time not to worry, I'm one of those that you just pop, the system clears, all is well. Instead what's really happened is a thought or feeling in your mind - arising from we know not where - that has convinced you to take the action most likely tospread the infection. - - - Related video: . https://rumble.com/v22kev0-robert-sapolsky-2018-jccsf.html . https://rumble.com/v22ieu6-robert-sapolsky-2017-modified-host-behaviour-the-joe-rogan-experience.html . https://rumble.com/v2b8vbe-robert-sapolsky-2016-why-zebras-dont-get-ulcers.html . https://rumble.com/v22fsgg-robert-sapolsky-2013-alan-alda-interview-for-brains-on-trial.html . https://rumble.com/v220gq8-robert-sapolsky-2010-stanford-lecture-behavioral-evolution.html - - - ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/modified-host-behavior/

Renowned physicist Jack Sarfatti stopped by Quantum Gravity Research last week to give a talk on how human consciousness is now easily understood as a natural physical phenomenon. This explanation can be tested with nano-electronic machines that will be at least as conscious as we are. The phenomenon is universal like gravity suggesting that we live in a conscious hologram universe. ---- --- --- Jack Sarfatti has a physics Ph.D. from the University of California. He taught physics at San Diego State University. He worked with David Bohm at Birkbeck College (University of London) and with Abdus Salam at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy. He has been working on the post-quantum physics of consciousness and the paranormal since he directed the famous Esalen Seminars in 1976 described by Gary Zukav in “The Dancing Wu Li Masters”. Jack was the basis of the memorable time-travelling Dr. Emmett Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy. He is also working on the connection of the warp drive physics of flying saucers to the new cosmology observations of anti-gravity “dark energy”. He lectures on that in Star Trek IV DVD Special Collector’s Edition (“Time Travel: The Art of the Possible”.) Jack is the author of Super Cosmos (2005), Destiny Matrix (2002), andSpace: Time And Beyond II (Dark Energy) (2002), and coauthor with Fred Alan Wolf and Bob Toben of Space-Time and Beyond: Toward an Explanation of the Unexplainable (1982). - - - MORE INFORMATION :: https://quantumgravityresearch.org/portfolio/the-post-quantum-mechanics-of-conscious-artificial-intelligence/ RELATED VIDEO :: Hacking Reality [QuantumGravityResearch.org Official Film] - https://rumble.com/v21bree-hacking-reality-official-film.html ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/determinism-realism/

The Evolutionary Argument Against Reality :: The cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman uses evolutionary game theory to show that our perceptions of an independent reality must be illusions. As we go about our daily lives, we tend to assume that our perceptions — sights, sounds, textures, tastes — are an accurate portrayal of the real world. Sure, when we stop and think about it — or when we find ourselves fooled by a perceptual illusion — we realize with a jolt that what we perceive is never the world directly, but rather our brain’s best guess at what that world is like, a kind of internal simulation of an external reality. Still, we bank on the fact that our simulation is a reasonably decent one. I Not so, says Donald D. Hoffman, a professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine. Hoffman has spent the past three decades studying perception, artificial intelligence, evolutionary game theory and the brain, and his conclusion is a dramatic one: The world presented to us by our perceptions is nothing like reality. - - - ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/determinism-realism/

*** The main reason for including this video is the commentary starting at 52:40. Terence McKenna described a great deal of what we know as Ascension, the speeding up of time, the “novelty” of the present-moment universe, what we would construe as Fifth Dimensionality, etc. In this last video interview before his untimely death, Terence McKenna describes Novelty Theory to director John Hazard with an elaboration of its core principles involving hyper-complexification and the compression of Time. - - - Related video: David Deutsch - After billions of years of monotony, the universe is waking up - https://rumble.com/v2853v4-david-deutsch-after-billions-of-years-of-monotony-the-universe-is-waking-up.html - - - ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/determinism-realism/

Free will is a mystery. We sense our will to be fully free, but science says every action is determined by a prior action. Free will affects morality, responsibility, even consciousness and theology. Free will is a perennial conundrum. The ‘Big Questions in Free Will’ project brought together scientists, philosophers and theologians in a novel interdisciplinary initiative to develop new data and catalyze innovative ways of thinking. Here are the concluding thoughts of some of the participants. Has progress been made? *** In January, 2010, with the support of a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation, Florida State University launched a four-year project on free will — Big Questions in Free Will — directed by Alfred R. Mele, William H. and Lucyle T. Werkmeister Professor of Philosophy at Florida State University. The primary purpose of the project was to improve our understanding of free will in three spheres: science (especially neuroscience and social psychology); philosophy; and theology. - https://philosophyandscienceofself-control.com/previous-project-big-questions-in-free-will/ ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/free-will/

Science and Nonduality (SAND) Conference 16 Neurobiologists believe the mind brain system is and must be classical physics. For many, at some complexity, consciousness arises. This could be correct but faces what I will call the Stalemate: Such a mind can at most witness the world but, due to the causal closure of classical physics, cannot act upon that world. Such a consciousness must be merely epiphenomenal. - - - Related video: . https://rumble.com/v29btfq-stuart-kauffman-2015-is-emergence-fundamental.html . https://rumble.com/v29c784-stuart-alan-kauffman-interview-2018.html - - - ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/free-will/

Beau Lotto Neuroscientist | Anil Seth Neuroscientist | Christine Constantinople Neuroscientist | Donald Hoffman Cognitive Scientist | Stavros Lomvardas Neuroscientist Your eyes and ears don’t tell you the truth. That’s not what they’re for. The senses evolved to enable us to survive and succeed in the world, not to represent it accurately. Now, for the first time, science is revealing exactly how the sense organs receive information, process it, and pass it to the brain, providing deep insight into why we experience the world the way we do—and what it might be like for future technology to transform such experiences, perhaps allowing us to see infrared light or feel magnetic north.

Neurologist Oliver Sacks discusses his book, “The Mind’s Eye,” with author Cullen Murphy. In his book, “The Mind’s Eye,” he “tells the stories of people who are able to navigate the world and communicate with others despite losing what many of us consider indispensable senses and abilities: the power of speech, the capacity to recognize faces, the sense of three-dimensional space, the ability to read, the sense of sight. For all of these people, the challenge is to adapt to a radically new way of being in the world.” ADVANCED CIVILIZATION Reference material - https://interestzine.com/delusions/
