Top Comments of this video!! :3
Each and every person that ever existed has had a unique perspective of every moment of their existence. Even two people in the back of the crowd in this video sitting side by side, their view is almost identical just the smallest degree of difference but the difference does exist. Now if my first sentence is true then as our reality is based on our perspective we have to see that each and every person has had their own absolutely unique reality. So now we arrive at the thought that when we look at a society we are seeing a galaxy of realities all of them separate and unique. So when we say that someone is mentally ill because they have suffered a break from reality, then the question must be whose reality?

The Universe is a vast consciousness, and we are all connected individual parts of this consciousness. We cannot see this while we are going through the human experience, but when we 'move-on' (die), that's when our perceptions expand and the blinkers come off, so we experience reality as it is.
That's my take.
Keeps me sane while going through this insane human experience š

I thought of the same metaphor years ago, calling reality an interface, just like the interface of a computer. Time & space is like the desktop, objects are like the icons & physics is like the rules governing the interaction between the icons & desktop. What's powering the interface of our reality? The code of consciousness. It's like a quantum supercomputer, taking every possible position simultaneously. It's quite surreal to hear the exact analogy used by someone else years later.
I also see dreams like metaphors for how the illusion of life could be created. We each dream, create our own universes with their own rules of physics somehow, the characters within your dream all think they are separate, yet they stem from one mind. Your subconscious creates situations & fractals of itself to learn about itself & grow in a sort of sandbox environment. Imagine a mind much more powerful than ours. Instead of running 8-18 characters at once in a dream, it can run 8-800 trillion characters at once. It would also mean the entire dream world is conscious in that it is composed of thought, albeit at different levels of consciousness depending on their level of awareness of being.
A person character in the dream is more conscious than a rock, yet at a certain level of growth, which appears to be one of the fundamental guiding principles, the character person realises they are an avatar, an interface for the source mind, expressing itself through you. At which point they could simultaneously have an existential crisis, a sense of solitude as not many others in their virtual world understands them, a sense of awe in the beauty of the illusion & a sense of comfort in the unknown.
We are the universe experiencing itself in order to grow & learn from experience. It is likely there are many parallel universes & forms of sentience in other dimensions. it would mean the separation is all an illusion. That everyone is truly interconnected on a conscious level.

I have always felt that we as humans have always been like blind worms wiggling around the belly of the universe not really capable of perceiving reality as it is but only perceiving in a way that helps us narrowingly survive to reproduce. But what Hoffman is positing is so much more deeper, and shocking.

I used to wonder if the objects in my house existed when I was away; now I'm wondering if they exist when I'm at home.
