Heres a comment on the youtube that I think best explains this:
in fact, "you" are just a series of processes in a functioning brain. It is really a collection of electrical impulses between the synapses of neurons which generate thoughts, the thought that you are 'someone' and that you 'own' your thoughts included. so how can 'you' own the thing that is literally fukking creating 'you'? well 'you' can't really. the 'feeling' is illusory. it is just a complex twitch of nerves. an advanced, highly evolved reflex mechanism to get the organism to better survive in its environment. it gets poked this way it goes over there, poke it that way it moves over here. like a fukking robot. there is no 'us' no self no you no me.
this idea of consciousness that people like this guy have is a lot like a belief in a soul, belief in god. no coincidence that its tied in with religious beliefs and meditation. there is no measurable proof that it exists. it is totally unsupported by REAL SCIENCE and is laughable.
makes you feel good though; but no shyt, it releases serotonin in the brain.
