Going back to the simplicity statement from the video: you can model the universe as the product of your imagination but it seems surprisingly consistent if it is. It’s clear that the universe continues existing even when you’re not paying attention to it. For this to be true either:

* Your brain is storing and processing the entire universe all the time * Your brain is constantly rewriting its own memory on a mass scale to pretend the universe is consistent

Both of these seem way more complicated than just “the universe exists and you’re a part of it.”

(Yes, I know our brains rewrite history but not on the scale required to make all of reality seem consistent in this way)
