Emergence Theory is waaaaaaay short of what MBT offers. Are you familiar with MBT ?

With all due respect, insofar as consciousness research goes and when compared to MBT theory, both videos seem to have been made for a target audience of 8th graders BY 8th graders.
I humbly suggest you familiarize yourself with Tom's work more deeply!

Tøfflus - welcome to the forum. Perhaps you could give us a bit of background on how you found MBT and Tom. And maybe any experiences you have had.

Here are some resources for you.

THE BASICS OF MBT Per Tom:
1). The only thing that is fundamental is consciousness – all else is virtual.
2). Consciousness is a self modifying evolving digital information system.
3). The consciousness system is finite and imperfect.
4). Physical reality is a virtual reality.
5). There are many virtual reality frames and we exist in several of them.
6). Physical and non physical are not fundamental – it is only a matter of perspective.
7). Evolution criteria, Love, and spiritual growth are all defined in terms of entropy a measurable quantity.
8). There are three data bases: The Probable Future data base; the past data base (all that did happen); and the data base of all the probabilities that might have happened but didn’t.
9). There is no such thing as an objective reality – all reality is interpreted. Light, energy, energy bodies, guides, chakras, oversoul, higher self, Reiki symbols, acupuncture technique, Ouija boards, pendulum oracles, I Ching, etc. are all metaphors/tools – consciousness is the only active ingredient.
10). The paranormal is perfectly normal.
11). Quantum Mechanics is derivable from first principles.
12). Physics and metaphysics become one understanding.
13). Metaphysics, philosophy and theology all become transparent and one can easily see and derive the threads of Big Truth that run through them. These are just the tip of the iceberg.

Should have been more gentle with that one.
Try not ripping into them so hard and remember the time when you didn't know things.

We are one! the same side remember.

I remember this documentary (links are still in the quote of the third post) and thought it wasn't bad at all back then.

Remember please: All of this is good as long as it reaches a wider audience and opens people's minds to this 'kind of' view. People who see this and can ackknowledge it are also open to Uncle Tom's more elaborate theories then.
