Jacob Geller: Come for the beard. Stay for the perfect articulation of existential terrors youāve spent a decade trying to suppress. Also stay for the beard.

The different segments of this video are transplanted onto each other, giving the illusion of the continuing of each sentence while knowing there was some section of each video that we lost and will never be able to see. This channel is so good that I have trouble wrapping my head around it (no pun intended).

I think the issue with the "you die when you sleep because your consciousness is interrupted" line of thinking is the fact that your brain is never truly "off". There's no memory snapshot followed by a shutdown. In computer terms, there's no "suspend to disk", only "suspend to RAM", thought considering how our brains work during sleep even the "CPU" arguably still runs in "maintenance mode".

Itās actually subtly genius that this video is separated in completely distinct sections with only single sentences joining them. Itās not wholly unlike a body joined to a head that wasnāt a part of it, connected by a spinal cord and a few sutured veins and arteries.

I have a chronic illness called Crohn's disease, and my immune system fights off organs that do belong to me. I self medicate with immune suppressants to keep me going, and medications are a completely normal part of my daily life. Despite this, most of the time I am completely healthy. Several times throughout the days between my shots I forget that I'm even sick. Though I understand the concern for new medical procedures, I know how important they are as the test subject of a new immune suppressant and the practice of using Ultrasound technology to monitor bowels. While medical advancements can be scary, more often than not they're for the better. I trust my medicine and I trust my doctors.

Fantastic! Man-made horrors beyond my comprehension! (Great video Jacob you just constantly find new things that terrify me)

The thing about her speech, is that the brain is still active when you sleep. Its not like your brain stops when you pass out, its merely another state that the body can be in

This resonated with me on a level I didnāt expect, the further I got into it. I have amnesia, and only really started ābecoming a personā less than a year ago now. I feel a lot like Iām a new soul in this body, but I canāt deny the old resident, and it still sleeps in the bones.

"I was required to exchange chimeras of boundless grandeur for realities of little worth" is such a good quote

One of my favorite parts of SOMA it's the "Coin flip", a way the main character rationalizes what's happening to him that he wins a "coin flip" so his thoughts keep going.
There is no coin flip, we just change POV, it's just a cope from him

Most of my dreams are extremely boring and hardly worth remembering. But there are a couple I've never forgotten. When I was much younger, I had a dream that the world had come to an end. I don't remember why, but there was no possibility of rebuilding. Instead, those who survived wound up transferring their consciousness to a digital haven.
It was meant to be a peaceful replica of Earth but it was teeming with these horrible monsters. In the end it was discovered that these monsters were the remnants of the human and animal testing that had been done in order to perfect the technology. Fragments of those minds were stuck in a sort of limbo, unable to fully live or fully die. Consciousnesses broken and lost and angry.
There was some more stuff in that dream but goodness was that unsettling. I can't remember it perfectly and have lost much of the details as often happens with dreams. But I can still recall that awful horrified feeling. Deeply unpleasant.

When I was a kid I watched the Jimmy Neutron episode where they swapped bodies. In the episode the swapping was a fluke that Jimmy could not replicate, so instead he emptied both of their brains content into one computer, and then his friends had to individually decided what aspects of each of their personalities belonged to each upon reupload. Heaven help us if we ever not only can copy a soul, but fragment it like that.

Imagine just being a brain hooked up to an external life source. Fully consciousā¦..but not body or headā¦.the thought of that makes me feel like I need to throw up. Thanks Jacob for the existential breakdown.

Okay so as a nurse I know Polyethylene glycol is also known as Miralax. It's typically used to help relieve constipation so when I heard him mention it used in nerve tissue studies I was VERY confused. I did some googling and it is, indeed, the same substance. Pretty cool how something I give patients almost everyday has such potential!

The digital brain reminds me of how Terry Pratchett describes the experience of a ghost: they feel detached and uncaring because part of your original personality comes not just from the electrical signals in the brain but also all of the chemicals and juices your brain is floating in

Honestly, this doesn't scare me. It never has. I don't suffer from existential dread from the cessation of my active consciousness. I find it FASCINATING that I might be replacing myself every night. I'm not afraid of the dark underside of teleportation - as long as it works properly. I'm also not afraid of the concept presented in SOMA. I'm fearful of the PROCESS of dying, but not death itself. It's such an incredible situation to BE and to BE AWARE that I'm just happy I can say 'I AM' in any capacity. Even if I'm less than a blink in the face of existence.

There seems to be a growing body of evidence showing that memory, and with it conscience, does not solely reside in the brain itself - that in order to exist and maintain itself, what makes up memory needs to interact with the body that contains it in predictable patterns. Sensory information needs to bounce back to the brain in ways that the brain knows in order to evoke and maintain memory. (Don't grill me on this, I just watched and read some talks and papers from a Prof. Naccache). If it's true, then even if a brain were to be perfectly transplanted onto a new body, with the spinal cord fused and the nerves functional, the mind might not stay the same over time as it adjusts to how these new nerves react, to whatever memories this new body carry. We might just not be a brain - we're a brain and a body, a brain and million of neurons located outside of it and the spinal cord (the gut for instance!! so full of neurons it could be a second cognitive network). The soul is contained in all of that's under the skin.
Fascinating video, I already can't wait to watch it again.

What's nightmarish about this, to me at least, is to imagine what must be going on in the monkey's thoughts. From what I understand of it, it sounds like the body itself wasn't being kept alive by the brain's signals to the muscles, but rather by mechanical processes which kept the lungs and heart working. So this isn't so much of a "head transplant" as it was hooking a head up to what was essentially a biological machine that kept it alive. The body it was hooked up to was little more than a life support system that kept the brain active.
But think about this for a second... that means that the monkey's brain would be trying to tell it to do the things it normally would, but it wouldn't be able to. It would try to breathe, but it has no lungs with which to take a breath. It would try to move, but it's not actually connected to the muscles of the body, so nothing would happen. It could just... observe its surroundings and respond to stimuli on its face.

The worst thing about this video is that it ended. I could have watched this video for ten more hours. This is one of my favorite video essays I've ever seen.
