Summary
The interface theory of perception challenges the idea that our senses provide us with accurate representations of the physical world. Instead, it suggests that perception is an interface that evolved to hide the complexity of the world and allow us to interact with it more effectively.

The theory of everything in understanding consciousness could be achieved by having greater control over individual neurons to understand how and why signals start becoming relevant to each other as part of some bigger signal that they're producing, forming a big picture of human experience.
3:19:05 - 3:22:30 (03:24)
Summary
The theory of everything in understanding consciousness could be achieved by having greater control over individual neurons to understand how and why signals start becoming relevant to each other as part of some bigger signal that they're producing, forming a big picture of human experience. Keeping a toehold in both cellular level resolution and brain-wide resolution is necessary for this understanding.
