Bro I wasn’t expecting to see Owen Benjamin 😂

The force is like a electric battry

I have always says this about static for example when you take your top off and youbget a electrical reaction

The most illuminating thing Mr Cox said in this interview is at 50 seconds when he says "I don't know." Please tell me why an astrophysicist is regarded as qualified to answer ultimate questions when in reality he's no more qualified than any grandmother who's lived a long life and most likely less qualified.

Materialism is a self refuting argument

On monkey world, they've been caging humans and trying to get them to type the Complete Works of Monkeyspeare with a banana. It might take a while. An infinity, in fact.

I've started because of this video, it's 3rd year when I'm struggling with addiction now

Bet yet you believe in dark energy and dark matter even though you cannot see it. You claim you see the results of it. But, you dismiss the existence of a soul or spirit even though you see what a soul can do and how strong the holy spirit can be in someone. So, what makes you think the soul and/or the spirit is just another physical component. But, like dark matter and dark energy, you can only see the effects but cannot see those those components and not the spirit?

Suffering is suffering. Why does is matter is it on thoughts or reality? If u suffer mentally it is your reality.

You suggest that “consciousness is an emergent property…” Implied in that suggestion is that “consciousness” is a “thing” (property), and therefore you either have it or you don’t. But the problem with it being a property is that, first of all, you can’t define it; either you know you have it or you don’t. And some (e.g. Mark Solms) suggest that some individuals have it but don’t know it; they have no cerebral cortex but still react in certain ways that suggest they are conscious. In contrast, if conscioiusness is a process, involving a continuous function like running or a machine assembling a car, then it could be present at many levels - like a baby going from its first step to running a race. If consciousness is a process involving various brain functions, you can identify the functions and how they work together to produce consciousness, but you will never be able to quantify or identify consciousness with any precision. Think of consciousness as a storm. How precisely could you compare it to any other storm?

" If you can't measure it, its not there" - Brian Cox

Tell yourself a BETTER story. 😊

If you recreate your thoughts, that sounds like run-of-the-mill psychotherapy where, with practice, you can become complacent (or at least feign it) with your shitty life. But...your life is still shitty. Harris' advice is hardly useful in that regard.

Patrick is actually a Star.

Sam Harris' app Waking Up is invaluable. 30 day free trial, if you can not afford it, there is a 100% approved scholarship program. I can not say this loud enough. THE WAKING UP APP LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE

Thank you Brian, indeed...what a joy to live and love.

So then there would also be monkeys who typed it all but made one single error. Then another who made one single error somewhere else etc, until you reach all the possible errors and combinations there of. Then each scenario would also have actions in between. One monkey would complete it with one error and take 1 month another would complete it exactly the same and be one month off plus or minus a second and one would have scratched its butt when it typed a certain word, etc etc. I don't buy it. I think if possible it would break down a bit different to where it's not micromanaged like that.

The girl and mom had so much self doubt and when they were like screw it and they did it.

Everyone is so desperate for a meaning because there seems to be no meaning in their life, if you look around do you ever think of an ants consciousness is bigger than yours? Do you ever feel like larvae is having trouble with Einsteins equations? Brian is right humanity has this small window where we understand where everything comes from. There is no higher meaning, just live.

Rewrite the "Code" Second I heard that word just makes me think of my ketamine experience. I don't wanna say anything else. But people who have gone down the k-hole know....

Someone here has skipped the greek classics. Plato argued for the existence of the soul more than 2000 years ago, and now you want to dismiss rational discourse. Or does everything need to be measurable? Hoiw do you kniw that the universe is infinite? Did you measure its length by any chance? Please, keep the intelectual honesty, and don't pretend to know more than you actually can.

Unfortunately, as both Cox and Rogan demonstrate, most people don't have an understanding of what the word soul means. The word soul is just another name for the animating ("animal") part of our Spirit. It's called the Nephesh in Kabbalah, the Khaibit in Ancient Egypt, Qi in China, and Ki in Japan. The Spirit has many parts, just as the various systems of our gross physical body have many parts. What we think of when we say "me" is the animal spirit, the persona (personality), and the lower intellect parts of the spirit. The personality is a mental construct and isn't fundamentally "real" aka consistent and permanent. What we are in our fundamental state is consciousness, which is a non-local, immaterial, probability generator, aware of being aware. In other words, no thing. Everything comes from no thing. Quantum mechanics has already proved that our reality doesn't exist. A quantum experiment suggests there’s no such thing as objective reality www.technologyreview.com/2019/03/12/136684/a-quantum-experiment-suggests-theres-no-such-thing-as-objective-reality/ To quote from the article: " “The scientific method relies on facts, established through repeated measurements and agreed upon universally, independently of who observed them,” say Proietti and co. And yet in the same paper, they undermine this idea, perhaps fatally." Reality is virtual and consciousness-based. The subjective manifests the objective, like a dream, or a virtual reality game. The current form of the scientific method collapses under this knowledge. No "proof" in the empirical framework of physicists like Brian Cox is available. And originating in the subjective, it's not obviously falsifiable, meaning testable. The animating, electromagnetic part of the spirit however is testable. Dr. Michael Levin is creating a whole new science around it: Michael Levin: The electrical blueprints that orchestrate life | TED kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpnIcoCoiJ2EZ8Usi=7kjAc8xNRHDdn7Hl From Mind to Matter - Dr. Michael Levin kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5WWmqJ9hJyaZ5Isi=-NFYrqjGk8Tiw9QU You can learn to access the larger reality here: Exploring Consciousness mysoundwise.com/soundcasts/1639695455662s Have fun!

While treating each other as equals is a hallmark of civilization, equality is actually fiction…and enforcing fiction is tyranny. That is why Marxism is a lie that has fought for the last century

Sam harris .Western version of explaining of Buddihism.😅

If youre depressed, just move

Redban did something cool?

We are soul spirit and body. They do not have to interact, unless you pray. Brian you are a atheist so that won't happen.

OMG HES SMOKING MARIJUANA!!!!!! WHERES THE POT NEEDLE?!????

Brian, we are eternal. when our body dies our soul goes home back to the ether. my house is alive with spirit every day and i'm not talking about the alcoholic one. we are pure energy, energy doesn't die it simply changes form.

"What's your problem?" "I have a terminal illness, tens of thousands of dollars in hospital bills, and my wife left me." "Listen, you just need to restructure your thinking. Try being more like the ancient stoics."

It’s sad seeing this BS Ideology being pushed on college students who dont necessarily know any better.

This is a great faith-based solution Sam is positing. Playing out fantasies in your mind to trick yourself into being happier. Great advice, Sam! See you at church.

“..everything that can happen, will happen in an infinite universe” well, if what he said is true, you’d get the contradictory scenario of a universe full of complex life and a universe NOT full of complex life both at the same time!! Infinite possibilities leads to logical absurdities!

Who remembers Joe's infamous N!gg@ compilation greatest hits remix ?? 🤔😂🥷🏽

Nice, cool, and modern, but... For someone who has publicly stated that we do not know if God exists or not, the reasoning to support the view that the soul does not exist is somehow precarious. If we cannot measure it, then our current tools and physics do not show any evidence of it. That is all. But we do not know for sure that it is not there.... mind-matter interaction is complex. I agree with your reasoning in other issues, Brian, but not on this topic.

Explain the first person born . Cmon

Sober October is not a bad idea!😂

Atheists would have you believe a finite number of unguided particles from inexplicable origins typed out the entire works of Shakespeare in under 14 billion years. No monkeys, typewriters or infinities needed.

I call BS ! what evidence does he have that we use our souls to move our hands ? Such aragauntence to believe your opinions are equal to the laws of nature. I wish joe was smart enough to interview this guy

Basically Sam is saying you should be happy because it could be much worse

depression is a good thing always preceding growth...and it's lonely on the growing edge...just be and unfold, right on time, beautifully...tks

He commits a felony every time he does this because he owns firearms

Im one of those who have memories from standing up. I have no past life memories

solo maravilhoso

The triumph of the human spirit is so inspirational it can bring tears to the eyes, a gift from God.

The interviewer lowkey pissing me off he keeps talking over and cutting off Joe

We, as humans, have a choice. We can eat healthily (and on a budget, if need be) without harming animals. Since we have that choice, why would we use natural causes of death as an excuse to inflict harm unnecessarily?

In the same spirit, given infinite time I could find my car has turned to solid gold. Why not, it's infinity. Just because it has never been known to happen doesn't mean it couldn't. And that is the same point. Like the monkeys are going to replace the paper and ink in the typewriter? This too has never been known to happen, you only THINK the monkey scenario could happen but the premise is unscientific.

The “soul” is something humans made up to convince themselves they are different from other animals.
