the rest of the video talks about how we aren't connected with each other or peaceful.... and about how materialism causes issues.
About how we can gain hope for the future with having a conscious worldview.

I haven't even finished watching it and I know this dude is going to pervert the definition of "consciousness" to an inexcusably abstract framework that neither provides any sort of additional enlightenment or understanding nor demonstrates an actual grasp of what new discoveries have revealed.

Straight charlatan shyt.

fukk this shyt. I'm embarrassed OP is even gullible enough to be susceptible to this dumb shyt.

This is just a finely crafted "god of the gaps" argument.

Thank ZEUS we've been able to actually learn PROVEN and REAL facts to for fukking a$$holes like this to misinterpret and take for granted to further move the goalposts of knowledge.

If you take stock in anything this man says you deserve whatever misfortune befalls you.

OP, you need to learn from this. Learn what NOT to do. Learn whats WRONG with this. Learn why I don't feel a problem in insulting your way of thinking or why I have an incredibly negative perception of your intellect.

I love shyt like this.

It validates what I do for a living.

Guys like this are nothing more than hedonists. Susceptible to the emotions and feelings and pleasures.

Guys like me are the realists. We figure out how the shyt works and thus can't be susceptible to it. We're outside of the bullshyt because we know what causes it to exist in the first place.

I build the park.

Maybe you should elaborate more on that.

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.

Yeah the youtube comments.. make a great point. However, when you understand why we've understood barely five percent of matter, and when you look at earths place in the universe then... plus time, plus what we do know of space and quantum.... you can't say that so call feeling is an illusion. You can't even say its just a feeling.

So who created the brain that is capable of such complex functions?

I just want a simple and direct answer to this:

Did you take and successfully pass Physics 101?

Don't ask "who"

Ask "what"

Other animals have brains that carry about complex and a varied processes and functions.

Why don't you lend credibility to their function?

I didn't say the human brain, who or what could create something that is capable of such things? I'm not pretending to have the answers, I'm genuinely curious to hear your take on it.

And as a side note I hate organized religion, and the belief that God is a man in the sky, as well as when people pretend they could even begin to understand things that are obviously so far beyond human comprehension.

There a cells in your eye that react to specific wavelengths of light.

You know that?

Complicate that and you get the brain.

Once you understand how things work in very simple terms its not that difficult.

Look up the evolution of the eye across species and you'll see rather quickly how simple it all is.
