One of my favorite professors!! Took 2 classes with him, Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Economics! Almost lead me to major in Philosophy. Instead, I pursued my other interests finishing my doctoral degree in sociology. But, he is one of 2 or 3 great professors I had the joy of experiencing.

Amazing! I think it's obvious that the psychological construct cannot actually exist, given that it's so obviously encoded in the English language, and probably through historical development, German tradition. It seems that any intellectually honest person will admit that there cannot be a proper "mental state" because, if nothing else, when would it exist? What is its time extent? Is it also physical, or purely internal? If internal, then how can it ever be demonstrated to another? If it isn't demonstrable, then how is it rational?

What is the Mind-Body Problem? ~~~ It is the Pit into which those who have not gotten the update sink ever deeper; The very simple truth that "I think, therefor YOU are!", proves that Descartes' initial search for 'Universal Truth' had failed. He never crawled from the Pit of duality. Thus the foundation of his (and 'western) philosophy' fails, thus... all these 'hard problems'. Until the update. The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived/appear, therefore an apparent 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego = Duality! Pit transcended! 'Hard problem' solved, you can go back to your own beds now, kiddies! ;)

Humans always want to think we're superior. We must learn to accept that we are different, not better.

This man prove what he said ..i am the person from 2025😂.. he looks younger than his age..

I don't eat red meat of any sort or pork. Try not to consume any animal. One can get all the amino acids one needs by eating a wide range of everything else

I think that people don't care much about other people. They care more about their own lifes. Do they earn enough to lead a good life (good food, buy a big flat in a relatively good area or a good car, save, travel, have one or two children). And the perception is that they cannot do these things easily like their parents so they perceive their life is worse than their parents. So people are very angry!

this is where Chomsky falls flat on his face, insisting he knows what we were gossiping about---or not--- squatting around our campfires 100 thousand years ago. anybody who owns a dog, cat, or parrot knows they can talk, if not so melodious and fluently with voices then with the other parts of their bodies. i posit non-avian dinousaurs talked--- considering how organized we know they were, how could they not have?

Been taking metformin more than four years, alas, not feeling well on it, I had to discontinue it😢

The best parallel universe is called Mid-World and it features a lone gunslinger named Roland who is eternally searching for the dark tower and The Man In Black.

Afghanistan would be a great country if Pashtun don’t sell the country to ISI or Pakistan. He used Yugoslavia as an example Afghanistan and Yugoslavia don’t have any history they were both created by foreign powers and of rebellion. Of course you can’t fix something if it doesn’t exist naturally.

And canada is now a shithole.

i was the 970th like lol

You got IT, brother Noam ! Had you ever been POTUS, the world would've been so different and so much better ! Thanks for sharing your your altruistic views and monumental intellect !

heeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeee graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ;)

There’s no cure for anything even being reborn with the same mother(god bless my mum) and father

yo any DSAI ppl here?

The whole thing stinks as it's a continuing proposal that people lie to themselves about a god in order to somehow be saved from that god (and to benefit religion). How odd that a god would punish his creation for not believing in him. That's not the way of a loving god. Very glad gods don't exist.

How does man create consciousness When he cannot comprehend it?

Do you really think that man can create consciousness when man cannot comprehend it, man appears not to know that he functions in the limitation of consciousness conditioned limited.....

I'd imagine in parallel universes there would be future universes of us but our future selves with more advanced technology still don't have the technology to see us meaning we are most likely already d*ad before we were able to get to that point

Aging is driven by entropic principles in genetics. The information in our dna accumulates damage creating the environment for aging to occur.

:)... good tutorial

Parrot

Not just mechanisms it requires consciousness to use the mechanism such is not in the gift of man currently as consciousness conditioned limited to create consciousness when it cannot comprehend it.....

Don't argue back from undesirable conclusions. If the premises and arguments are sound, accept the conclusion. And you can even find that what you once thought was undesirable or might have socially negative consequences is something we are adult enough to adapt to. The nonexistence of free will is perfectly compatible with a more compassionate, sane society. I like the humanism expressed by Bertrand Russell's quote: “No man treats a motorcar as foolishly as he treats another human being. When the car will not go, he does not attribute its annoying behavior to sin; he does not say, 'You are a wicked motorcar, and I shall not give you any more petrol until you go.' He attempts to find out what is wrong and to set it right.”

Giant brain coupled with great communication skills and a genuine passion for his subject. I especially liked the way he described the interplay between theory and experimental results.

Yes yes. Capitalism is the best way to be productive. But the problem of capitalism is not that. Even Marx did tribute capitalism along theese lines. The problem is that capitalism is proces without direction because in capitalistic societies there is a drive to create needs that doesnt contribute to the economy if you see economy as way to allocate finite ressources in a sustainable way. Its a now ideology. Its predicted on the "now needs" in a historical context of selfsufficant beings not thinking about the future but the wellebeing of me and my family. Thats not economicial in any way....

Let’s blame the system

When you dream you connect to one of your alternate you in a another parallel reality

Derk Pereboom has not considered that Theistic determinism can include secondary causes when it comes to human responsibility. Our motives determine our actions which is self determinism as a secondary cause

To acknowledge the existence of falsehood is truth. A statement may perform falsehood as demonstration, or as deception.

Dr Sinclair, please give us example of your father in detail.

Diversity is not our strength unity is our strength.

I liked the very end where he indicated it’s very common and we should all be aware of it.

Results can vary depending on the participant's mood, focus, or familiarity with the test format.

Chomsky is a tool --- this is how evil comes at you -- soft spoken academic. His ideas on language are lies, half truths and lies of omission. Look at Sapir Whorf ideas of language -- which he dismisses.

is it true that if you were to aim a femtosecond laser at any object then were to cross that femtosecond laser with another femtosecond laser it would create a plasmoid/ball lightning/exotic vacuum object shaped as that object?

Intelligence is an attribute of consciousness are we seriously suggesting that we could make a conscious machine??

Good summary of the probem. Panpsychism and practical ideaism seem to me the most promising avenues for the study of consciousness.

Another question a lot of people seems to refuse to even take seriously or misunderstand is - why does pain and pleasure motivate us? Most answer that its because they are needed for survival and evolved through evolution, but that is not what I asked, is it? Why does it work in the first place is the question. Its just information in the brain so why do we care if there is pain?

And? There’s another video saying it shortens life..

Is there something wrong in physics 🤔

In a nutshell, we reject God because we want to do what we want to do. Believing in a God means we need to adhere to rules/boundaries.

You dont fall in. You go in at a frequency, light and speed and pop out some where else..

Thank you Dr. Gilbert
