#187 - Danny Goler - DMT, Consciousness & Proof of the Simulation

from The Peter McCormack Show

Danny Goler doesn't just argue we're living in a simulation - he claims he's found a way to interact with whoever is running it and that we are the AI they're training before we're "let out to play." His case for simulation theory is built on the hard problem of consciousness, the DMT "code," and a laser experiment that thousands of people say they can replicate.In this interview we discuss idealism vs physicalism, whether AI can ever be conscious, the "architect" running infinite worlds to answer one unanswerable question, why he thinks the Ten Commandments were an alignment manual and what changes about how we should live if any of it is true.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Proof We Live in a Simulation?00:01:03 - The Hard Problem of Consciousness00:02:49 - Can Matter Create Experience?00:04:50 - What Is Consciousness?00:05:04 - Is Consciousness Fundamental?00:08:24 - Is the Universe Conscious?00:11:35 - Does Consciousness Need an Observer?00:16:45 - Can the Hard Problem Be Solved?00:20:08 - Could AI Become Conscious?00:23:48 - AI Black Boxes and Consciousness00:28:56 - Why Does Consciousness Exist?00:31:15 - Are We Living in a Simulation?00:35:45 - Are Humans the AGI in Training?00:40:41 - DMT and Other Realities00:45:07 - The DMT Molecule00:48:51 - The Entity in the Room00:58:32 - The Laser Code Experiment01:03:04 - 10,000 People Seeing the Same Code01:15:48 - Testing the Code of Reality01:20:28 - Can We Escape the Simulation?- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – [email protected]› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH DANNY GOLER› YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@dangothoughts› Danny’s Website - https://dannygoler.com/› Retreat Website - https://corretreat.com/ › Newsletter - https://go.codeofreality.org/start--aeeea› Non-profit website - https://codeofreality.org/› IG - https://www.instagram.com/dannygoler/› Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586952941889› X - https://x.com/GolerDannySPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com/› Ledn - https://ledn.io/peter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.
