Hubert Dreyfus - How Does Philosophy Illuminate the Physical World?

We think we understand the physical world but we do not. For example, some features of the world are derived from others, which makes the latter more fundamental and the former less so.

This is a fun video. I like his energy. It is enjoyable to hear his insights into Heidegger's thinking.

Anyone can share his or her opinion about what they experience from their subjective point of view but only a few of us were chosen to testify to the voice of the Lord and learn exactly how God created us within His thoughts and used some very sophisticated technology to convert those thoughts into a simulation program.
