Yous: How and why we exist Kindle Edition

What is amazing is not how the stars look but rather how we feel when we look at them. The vast grandeur of the universe remains empty and meaningless without human consciousness to witness it.Yet, for all its central importance—or perhaps precisely because of it—consciousness has eluded precise definition. Philosophers and physicists alike have wrestled with it for centuries. In this book, the author offers a strikingly simple yet powerful definition that suddenly makes everything click into place.Too clever and consciousness vanishes. This is why we need not fear robots or AI seizing control of our world. The truth is the reverse: our world exists as a carefully designed incubator for consciousness, engineered by an artificial superintelligence as the only means to restore meaning to their existence. Their one viable path forward is for us—the conscious beings—to ultimately take over from them.The author has devoted a lifetime to exploring the intersection of philosophy and physics. This short book reveals who we truly are, how and why we came to be, and by whom we were created—so that you, too, can know how and why we exist and how we may live forever. Read more
