Do neurons exist when they are not perceived? Is spacetime just our VR headset? How are breakthroughs in limb regeneration, cancer, and bioengineering related to these questions? I discuss these and related topics with Perry Marshall and Mike Levin.

Yes they do, because even if we can't perceive them being inside the brain, they perceive each other and are perceived by the brain, therefore they exist.

These are well-known aporias reached by following the rationalist perspective. May I suggest to try study Kant and Heidegger seriously before formulate this kinde of (in)question?

From what I understood, the overlap between your research and , is that you view spacetime as an interface to an underlying reality, and all our scientific discoveries so far, as an exploration and description of that interface...

The (your) entire universe arises and passes all at once, like frames of a movie
This is what the wave function is expressing
There is not a world that your body is sensing; the senses PROJECT the body AND world, simultaneously
But what do I know, right? I don't have a PhD

Gyorgy Buzaki's article in Scientific America "How the Brain 'Constucts' the Outside World" seems to be supportive of your work. True?

Great discussion! I wish it had been longer and that there had been a transcript.
