Bob C., mentions a minor argument, which explained why whether any of reality is 
experienced or not is not computable. Which could be thought to be an issue for 
a physicalist belief in which we are evolved biological machines whose brains 
are running some type of neural network computation (because we can tell that at 
least part of reality is experiencing, which isn't computable). Noticeably Bob 
C., didn't offer any flaw in the argument, but I am grateful for him having 
looked at the video, and brought up an argument from it. Though the main issues 
raised in that particular video from the series were the Influence Issue, and 
the Fine Tuning of the Experience Issue, which he didn't mention. 

For those that would be interested in just diving into a specific part of the 
series to understand what is being referred to, you could just follow this link 
(which skips the first 7 minutes of 4.Belief): https://vimeo.com/921153137#t=7m

There are some comebacks to "4. Belief" covered in the next one in the series, 
"5. Issues with belief?".

Wish you all well, and as a wise man might say:
 "Follow the loving selfless path".
