1:16:00 i get where you're coming from, and these things are always worth exploring (as long as you do the exploring for me) but ultimately experience IS just matter. i used to wonder "why is my consciousness here and now - why couldn't it be that my consciousness could "wake up, be born" in a body a hundred years from now in a different country?" but the reality is, that's daft, my consciousness might "feel immaterial" but it's not, it's connected directly to the physical me, and the high quality image of reality i call consciousness is really our brain doing a bang up job of simulating the world around me. colour doesn't exist other than in our brain (how this came about is weird, a grey universe gets translated into colour, why??) and like wise sound, touch, smell, they are all constructs of our brain, take away the brain and the consciousness goes too. but i'd be happy for you to speculate that there is some "substance" some "other particle universe" that's in between the particles of our universe, but so far, other than delusion, reality works pretty much with matter - molecules in motion. it's still fun to be alive though!
1:20:00 fkng cheek, 67 here and my brain is working better than yours by all accounts.

to me he's suffering from the same malady that all the online community is, that they aren't dealing with reality, they are trying to bolster weak egos, insecurities and mental health problems using the most dangerous medium possible for those situations. this "old man" says you can't replace the experience of getting out on your bike in all weathers and actually experiencing the dangers, actual dangers of the world first hand. i lived with a psychologist for nine years, my first girlfriend, i was in therapy myself, one-to-one and group, for about four years, and my current girlfriend is schizophrenic, i have a carers certification for schizophrenia. therapy is mumbo jumbo bullshit, it's great for picking up sound bite insights, but the only thing i took away from therapy was, i am more sane than most people, and there was actually someone who cared about me, while not caring, and self-sufficiancy.
