The internet of YOU

The brain renders models of people so well, that they pass the turing test. During REM-sleep, the mind can emulate people so well, with such artificial intelligence, that you don´t even realize you're dreaming.

These perspectives on reality, the ability to see the world through different angles (1) and the eyes of the other, that´s what it means to be human. Sentient. The brain tunes it´s attention like tiny cameras, mirrors that reflect back at the observer. To change your consciousness, you´ve got to go out of our mind and discover other perspectives.

To hack reality, you´ve got to hack attention. Tune into other broadcasts. Turn on those cognitive modules. Flow through waking life and drop out of the occasional nightmare. Turn off those broadcasts, tune into others.

Jason Silva, a friend of a friend of a friend, said it best perhaps in his broadcast Lucid Dreaming.
