What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?

When we think of things, then we make
the reality more concrete than it is...

:37:05
and that's why we become stuck.
:37:08
We become stuck
in the sameness of reality.

:37:10
Because if reality is concrete, obviously,
I am insignificant. I cannot really change it.

:37:14
But if reality is my possibility--
possibility of consciousness itself--

:37:20
then immediately comes the question
of how can I change it?

:37:24
How can I make it better?
How can I make it happier?

:37:26
You see how we are extending
the image of ourselves?

:37:30
In the old thinking,
I cannot change anything...

:37:33
because I don't have
any role at all in reality.

:37:37
Reality is already there. It's material
objects moving in their own way...

:37:41
from deterministic laws...
:37:43
and mathematics determines
what they will do in a given situation.

:37:48
I, the experiencer,
have no role at all.

:37:52
In the new view, yes,
mathematics can give us something.

:37:55
It gives us the possibilities
that all these movements can assume.

:38:01
But it cannot give us the actual experience
that I'll be having in my consciousness.

:38:07
I choose that experience.
:38:09
And therefore, literally,
I create my own reality.

:38:14
It may sound like a tremendous,
bombastic claim by some New Agey...

:38:18
without any understanding
of physics whatsoever...

:38:21
but really quantum physics
is telling us that.
