Episode 2: What is Existence? Idea List

What is reality, really?
It strikes me sometimes just how fortunate it is that this infinitely beautiful Universe gets to exist, that all these complex and diverse phenomena get to happen. We take it for granted (because, after all, it is granted), but how strange it is that we are born into this miraculous reality with no explanation as to who we really are or where we came from. I think it is immensely valuable to be able to take a step back from our day-to-day lives and just stand in awe before the mystery and immensity of it all.
I've spent quite a bit of time in this meditative perspective, trying to glean insights into what it must take for this unimaginable world to exist, and this video series is an attempt to share these ideas. Here we explore many of the most intriguing questions: What is real? Why are we here? What is space? What is time? What is information? What is god? What is consciousness? Who am I? What am I?
After pondering these ideas from the perspective given here, I hope you'll agree that the world is more perfect and beautiful than we could even possibly imagine, and that many of our existential worries are unwarranted.
