Week 5: (BRAIN BURN: consciousness as virtual theatre (post 3)

This video first talks about how the brain is created and how it works to question the universe. The brain is a very sensitive and important part of who we all are, without some parts of the brain functioning we can be different people and act different than who we really are just because we may have had a bad concussion a couple of years ago. The way we perceive things to be is what we will finally believe them to be overall. The consciousness is very import and it holds all underlying questions of what we want to know, we think it at times but don't always ask. The brain is always what guides us, not our heart, our brain guides our heart and who we are, we need to hydrate our brains and always learn things everyday to keep a good memory and to keep ourselves sane.

The video says that consciousness is dissociaton, which i believe to be true because we do always question everything everyday 24/7, our brain never takes a holiday break it is always working and therefore we are always thinking even in our dreams we are thinking it never ends. This creates imagination daydreaming which happens all the time, you can think of what you want to eat for dinner and at the time you are thinking of what you will eat you are seeing it all at the same time, your daydreaming. It is true that because it is all in our head we don't have to face actually going through with it and all the consequences. Being within lives and being outside ends up dead, and that is pretty much what it means I believe that we can all daydream of flying off a cliff, but in reality we would fall to our death and why would we want to go through with it when we can actually imagine that we can fly!
