FILM: Clif High - The Nature of Consciousness (Pt. 1 of 2: Why A.I. must fail)

Sensei High is back for a deeper level of woo: The mystery of the mind - especially versus Artificial Intelligence & Transhumanism, exploring different aspects of consciousness: it's nature, function, manifestations, & implications. Some issues explored in part 1: How's AI different from human intelligence? Why will AI never achieve sentience & self awareness? What's the source of mind? What's the secret of life? What's our multiple minds? Can simulations surpass our ability to distinguish? What's the structure of existence? Can AI be "possessed"? Is channeling real? Can mind influence machine? + We muse on the dangers of astral projection...
