That last phrase, Dr. Marchal is very difficult to grasp. Others are there, but "out there" is not out there.

He seems more attuned to whether the future, or future beings from the distant future, try to influence their past. He doesn't claim its people or our descendants, just that information is being written to the present. Which in itself is a mind bending concept. Beyond Sarfatti, is the question of Len Susskind's Boltzmann Brains. The physics described forced the creation of observers via temperature differentials, somehow, as the universe expanded. This somehow created observers, which sprang up out of no where, but had defined memories of the past and identities. It somehow reminds me of the monads you speak of, and because it is so jolly, science fictional, it appeals to me. Because my mind works this way, I have wondered if God was a Boltzmann Brain of sorts, mysterious, intelligent, etc, but was created with the Big Bang. Perhaps external to the Big Bang was something He did himself, and manifests now as a Boltzmann Brain? I also wonder if others are out there? Boltzann brain are relatively rare, and it is unclear how they are related to the universal system running it. But if you agree with 2+2 = 4, it is only a tedious long, and not so easy, yet standard, exercise to prove the existence of infinitely many Boltzmann brain and (all) other universal numbers in arithmetic, together with all finite initial segment of computations. We are distributed in there, and what you call "physical reality" has to emerge naturally from the statistical view from inside. Boltzmann brain, as physical object are still Aristotelian chimer, based on brain-mind identity thesis. All physical brains, notably, are the result of the statistical and arithmetical interference of all computations. I don't know if what is true, but that is testable, with a spectrum of variant according to the axiomatic of knowledge chosen. Others are there, but "out there" is not out there.

Because you have erased the subject, And Cs. = subject + object Hi JACK SARFATTI Consciousness = subject + object = subjective world + objective world Nice physics, very erudite, but If there's no subject, then there's no consciousness. But if you include a subject, the consciousness problem is trivial. You don't to keep having conferences about the "mystery" of consciousness. It's only a mystery if you have lweft the subject out of the picture. Like it or not , Idealism is the only philosophy that takes mind seriously, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idealism and Leibniz was the only philosopher to rationally solve the mind/body problem. It's only the "hard problem" if, like Chalmers, you are a meterialist and subjectivity is not in your vocabulary. Dr. Roger B Clough NIST (ret.)
