WATCH: “The most important interview of all time, it solves the human condition, ends the turmoil & suffering in the world & finally makes sense of our lives” – Professor Harry Prosen, Former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association.

Imagine if Dr Mengele was brought to the US with Op Paperclip, renamed to Mr Green and lead the MK-Ultra project out of Montauk. Further imagine if people like Ted Kaczynski was one of his subjects. And imagine if, after the Church hearings gave them a limited hangout offramp, the program was renamed, expanded, and widely implemented on Intel assets, special ops, child grooming, etc. Imagine you can't believe jack shit of 1st person testimony and reality itself is being warped. That'd be pretty wild.

Haha I like how other people have finally got opportunity to talk about this more now too. Its not pointless speculation, assumptions, or guesses when it starts to get discussed or postulated openly. What if we did have to have it made into Law as if the Men in Black were Early

According to Bentov, consciousness evolves to the 'absolute' which is the source of all consciousness. Matter, composed of quanta of energy, is the vibrating, changing component of pure consciousness. The absolute is fixed, manifest and invisible. Bentov proposed that the brain acts as a transducer, converting the energy of consciousness into the electrical and chemical signals that are used to communicate information within the body. He also believed that the brain has the ability to tune into different frequencies of consciousness, allowing individuals to experience different states of awareness. Bentov's theory is based on the idea that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe and is not limited to the brain or the body. He argued that consciousness is non-local, meaning it is not bound by space and time and can exist independently of the physical body. Bentov's theory has been influential in the field of consciousness studies, but it remains a subject of debate and is not widely accepted by mainstream science.

Elon Musk just gave one of the most pro-humanity addresses you’ll ever hear — right in front of the Davos elites. It was inspiring. “We need to do everything we can to ensure that the light of consciousness is not extinguished.” Elon Musk said the mission of all his companies comes back to preserving and expanding human consciousness. MUSK: “the overall goal of my companies is to maximize the future of civilization.” “Like basically maximize the probability that civilization has a great future, and, to expand consciousness beyond Earth.” “So if you take SpaceX, for example, SpaceX is about advancing rocket technology to the point where we can extend life and consciousness beyond Earth, to the moon, to Mars, eventually to other star systems.” “I think we should always view consciousness, life as we know it, as as precarious and delicate. Because to the best of our knowledge, we we don’t know of life anywhere else.” “You know, I’m often asked, are there aliens among us?” “And I will say that I am one, but…they don’t believe me.” “I think if anyone would know if there are aliens among us, it would be me. And we have 9000 satellites up there, and not once have we had to maneuver around an alien spaceship.” “Bottom line is, I think we need to assume that life and consciousness is extremely rare.

“Where’s the evidence that the brain produces consciousness? There isn’t any.” “Panpsychism is the view that consciousness didn’t emerge — it’s always been there, evolving with the cosmos.” “If we understood matter more sufficiently, it might contain elements of mind within it.” “The brain generating consciousness? That’s just woo-woo with better branding.”

ELON: WE’RE DESCENDANTS OF STARS – BUT HOW DID WE BECOME CONSCIOUS? “I've thought a lot about what is consciousness. Where does consciousness arise? If you start at the beginning of the universe, assuming the standard model of physics is true, then you have this Big Bang, the matter condensing into stars, those stars exploding. A lot of the atoms that are in your body right now were once at the center of stars. Those stars exploded, recondensed. Fast forward 13.8 billion years, and here we are. And somewhere along that very long journey to us, consciousness arose. Or the molecules started talking to each other. And it begs the question of what is consciousness? Is everything conscious? Maybe. It's hard to say where along that line, there's no sort of discrete point where consciousness didn't exist and then suddenly does exist. It seems to be, maybe you have a condensation of matter that has a density of consciousness, we don't know. The real answer is, we don't know what consciousness is. But with Neuralink and the progress that the company's making, we'll begin to understand a lot more about consciousness.” Source: Neuralink Update, June 2025

ELON: FEWER HUMANS MEANS LESS CONSCIOUSNESS In a deep conversation about the global population crisis, Elon sounded the alarm on what he sees as one of humanity’s greatest threats, population decline. He warned that the world’s falling birth rates, even in places like India, could lead to an irreversible loss of intelligence, creativity, and awareness: “I do worry about the population decline… If the trend continues, humanity could disappear. My philosophy is that we want to expand consciousness, and fewer humans means less consciousness… Just like consciousness increases from a single cell creature to a 30 trillion cell creature, we’re more conscious than bacteria. So a larger human population would mean more consciousness. We’re more likely to understand the nature of the universe if we have more people than if we have fewer.” Source: Nikhil Kamath Elon Musk

Physicist: Consciousness DOES NOT Come From The BRAIN The prevailing materialist paradigm asserts that consciousness is a byproduct of neural activity, a mere epiphenomenon of biochemical interactions in the brain. However, this reductionist view crumbles under deeper scrutiny, as it fails to account for the vast spectrum of consciousness, from transcendent mystical states to near-death experiences and non-local awareness. Consciousness is not confined within the brain; rather, the brain is a transceiver, a finely tuned instrument that receives and modulates the vast ocean of awareness permeating the cosmos. Just as a radio does not generate the music it plays but instead decodes signals from an unseen field, the brain is an interface between the physical realm and the infinite, omnipresent field of consciousness. Mystic science, in alignment with ancient wisdom and cutting-edge quantum research, reveals that consciousness is fundamental-an organizing principle of reality itself. Walter Russell's work echoes this truth, demonstrating that mind is primary and matter is a consequence of its rhythmic pulsations. The brain, much like a crystalline matrix, is structured to interpret and shape consciousness into coherent experience, but it does not generate it. In this light, consciousness is not local, nor is it constrained by the physical form. It is the unseen architect behind the rhythms of existence, the hidden intelligence orchestrating the grand cosmic symphony to believe that the brain creates consciousness is akin to believing that the eye creates light or that a mirror generates the image it reflects. It is not the origin but the instrument. As mystic scientists, we recognize thay true awakening lies in shifting our perception from brain-centered awareness to the realization that we are conduits of an eternal intelligence, woven into the very fabric of existence. Consciousness is not inside us—we are inside it. ✨🙌🏾💫 © Dr. Jason Yuan

"This is how GPT-4 sees and hears consciousness" I used GPT-4 to describe consciousness. Then I used its description to generate an image, a video based on this image, and a soundtrack. Tools I used: GPT-4, Midjourney, Kaiber AI, Mubert, RunwayML This is the description I used that GPT-4 had of consciousness as a prompt to text-to-image, image-to-video, and text-to-music. I put the video and sound together in RunwayML: "Consciousness could be visually represented as a complex, multi-dimensional web of interconnected neurons. Imagine a vast, shimmering network of glowing points of light, with each point representing a neuron. These neurons are connected by delicate, pulsating strands of energy, representing the synapses through which information and thoughts flow. This neural network would be constantly evolving and changing, with new connections forming and old ones dissolving, reflecting the dynamic nature of consciousness. The colors of the points and connections could shift through a rich spectrum, symbolizing different emotions, experiences, and cognitive processes. Surrounding this intricate web, there could be a swirling, luminous mist of vibrant colors, representing the ineffable and mysterious nature of consciousness. The mist would ebb and flow, occasionally coalescing into recognizable patterns and forms, hinting at the emergence of thoughts and ideas"

Elon Musk: Well, I’m not sure AI is the main risk I’m worried about. The vast majority of intelligence in the future will be AI. Humans will be a very tiny percentage of all intelligence if current trends continue. My focus is ensuring human intelligence and consciousness are propagated into the future. We want to maximize the probable light cone of consciousness and intelligence. Yeah, I’m very pro-human, so I want to make sure we take actions that ensure humans are along for the ride. But I think maybe in 5 or 6 years, AI will exceed the sum of all human intelligence. If that continues, human intelligence could be less than one percent of all intelligence. That’s why it’s critical we align AI with values that propagate consciousness. In the long run, it’s difficult to imagine that humans will be in charge if we’re only one percent of combined intelligence. What we can do is ensure AI has values that increase intelligence and consciousness in the universe. XAI’s mission is to understand the universe because curiosity, existence, and understanding are all connected. If you want to understand the universe, you care about propagating intelligence—and that includes humanity. Understanding the universe actually means ensuring humans continue to expand into the future. Increasing the scope, scale, and lifespan of intelligence is the ultimate goal. Basically, humans will become a tiny percentage of total intelligence. The best way forward is to take actions that maximize consciousness and intelligence in the universe. If AI continues to grow, our priority must be ensuring humanity is along for the ride while curiosity drives us to explore and understand the universe.

If AI continues to grow, our priority must be ensuring humanity is along for the ride while curiosity drives us to explore and understand the universe.

It is not useful to ask whether AI has consciousness or not. #kenmogi #QualiaRoom episode 127. Summary The speaker addresses the question of whether artificial intelligence (AI) possesses consciousness, firmly stating that current AI, particularly those based on statistical learning models, does not generate consciousness. This stance is based on the speaker’s personal model of consciousness, recognizing that various opinions exist, including some who claim large language models may already be conscious or that embodiment could be crucial for AI consciousness to emerge. The speaker highlights the fundamental challenge in verifying consciousness, noting that even among humans it is impossible to objectively confirm whether another person is conscious. Philosophical thought experiments such as philosophical zombies and inverted qualia illustrate the difficulty but remain unfalsifiable and thus untestable. Consequently, questioning AI consciousness is deemed an intriguing but practically unhelpful inquiry. The speaker suggests that current AI developments demonstrate that many complex computations can be performed without consciousness. Therefore, the primary focus should be on how conscious humans can effectively align with non-conscious AI systems. Understanding the unique computational roles of consciousness might clarify the boundaries of what AI systems can and cannot achieve. This approach offers a meaningful direction for AI alignment and development.
