IN OUR SOCIETY EVERONE IS A JUNKIE ?

Not everyone who is suffering from depression etc is because of this skinner tjheory

“I’m still a Work in Progress” love your openness here. 😂

the expert problem at display...

How lucky the students of Stanford are! I'd be thrilled to have learned from him at Uni. The book is brilliant.

Executive summary: be present, be present, mistakes are the main way to learn, be more present.

No question of your knowledge, but my personal perception is that something is missing in this. The body is very well examined, what about the spiritual part? Humanity is not just flash is also spirit. Good luck with that! I will enjoy my free will.

Amazing❤

This determinism rehash - why? “Everyone, gaze upon the culmination of my life’s work, which I call “The Wheel.” - Nota Philosopher

A president of a prestigious university should not have to spend any time thinking about football and what athletic conference it participates in. More important things such always take priority.

Hard to comprehend that both free will and determined reality can exist at the same time unless you are a Buddhist or a Muslim or free from limited models of logic we've been trained in over and over. and giving examples of details that can never prove or disprove is pretty simplistic thinking but then we've seriously overrated Stanford and its like. Simple minds cannot concieve deep truths only superficial details, all he speaks is, of course, true and yet he too has the gift or curse of free will too! The majesty of existance that they both exist simultaneousely. Dissapointing for a so -called professor of higher education.

"With the exception of the artificial and abstract thinker in you, you are pure Nature". This is a phrase from a book titled Toward your Real Self.

This was so good thank you

I trust his data saying there is less free will than we think, but I am wary of the dramatic conclusion he came to at the age of fourteen before he had any of the data which he has been spending a lifetime trying to support with the data. My advice: Just follow the data and don’t try to wrestle with it to fit your preexisting worldview.

Two thoughts: 1. He had to say what he has said - it was determined since the Big Bang. There is no WILL, no brilliance, no genius. He just is what he is, without any choice, each pre-determined effect following each inevitable cause, just as he says all of us are. 2. What is the point of praising him for his insights? You wouldn't praise a machine that did what it had to inevitably do, would you? But that the position in which he has placed himself. If there is to be no punishment for "bad" acts, there certainly can't be any reward for "good" ones.

So all our decisions (choices) are based on our cumulative physiology starting before our birth up to right now (pre-determined). And our future decisions are the same. And information or miss-information physically changes our brains assuming we have the capacity to learn - no brain damage for example. This reminds me of the story of the scorpion and the frog.

That is soo true, I knew this was the case all along, i was a fetus of an uncertain mother and father, with little effection almost border line burdensome, then later in life your still just that fetus thats not really wanted and a burden, and its evident throughout the world, people all leaving their mother land because they have essentially been rejected before we've even started...and i dont think anything can be chaged to fix it other than submit or leave, they wont even let us exit peacefully...nothing I do has ever been for my purpose, we are here to serve a purpose to somethig or someone else...and thats the facts...

we can not will ourselves into existence and we have no choice in being removed from it eventually...all else in between is the illusion of volition

👍

I wanted to thank you for posting this video, but I won't. It's not like you had a choice, given that there is no free will! And I had no choice but to post this comment.

do you think we have choices within the non freewill? (you probably dont read these comments. )

I gave 10 yrs problem to them Some shock positive I love it growth Sone of tragitic regret Run g5om Growth mind working on going Fixed mind no ant working A brief ti yet Praising them Rewarding for process When we learn new things the neurons will get connected and become smarter. From difficulty to easy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢

If there were such a thing as "Free Will", it would be merely a cruel, sadistic joke.

2:36 I'm not sure but hw says being malnourished as a foetus makes you highly likely to be obese by the time you're sixty? So why when I see an obese mother she generally has obese children? None of them were probably malnourished as a foetus?

I am amazed by this Professor!

No wonder human life, internally and externally, and human history are all such hellscapes.

I agree with hum. The idea of free will isnt well received by humans. They love being controlled ! Religion, collectives, Instagram ...😮

Is "understanding" and "taking it to the next level" in terms of justice, going against social pressure, against conditioning of various kinds not an expression of free will to some extent? Michael

What a treasure! Thank you

I don't care if there is free will or not. I am simply being until I'm not. " A poem by my free will." 😅

I had an extremely strong knowledge/intuition about determinism and lack of free will, was deeply ingraned to my mind ever since I can remember myself. Even as a 4 year old I used to say nothing could have been done differently

We Can Never Say Too Much. We Keep it Real Fair. Divide and You Will Be Conquered We create a binding unity upon all. We unite to conquer. Unfair religions will be conquered. Unfair governments will be conquered. Unfair Gongs will be conquered. Unfair individuals will be conquered. We believe in nothing and also in something. Maybe we Believe in God the Supreme Being - the fairest of all. In fact, God is perfectly fair. Also, we can believe in super determinism and not in God. Some of us are atheists. Science unites us and never divides us. Super determinism is perfectly fair. It is the fate of unfair people and the destiny of fair people. Either way, it is hell for unfair people and heaven for fair people. Team fairness will create heaven on earth before we die, and it will be hell on earth for unfair people before they die.

He's just explained why Right wingers are like-they-are (sheep, love hierarchy, punch down on the more powerless and vulnerable incl minorities)

Great! What’s the recipe?

This becomes painfully obvious the more you meditate and the more you watch the behavior of your thoughts

Amazing. You’re are brilliant, thank you for the video.

🎉 thanks for the advice, as we speak I have a problem my mind just shut especially presenting sermon

😢so astrology is real. I am what I am because I am a Leo, or a cancer etc.

We do have free will, it's just not in our awareness, it is controlled by our future self, we only witness our choices after the fact like watching a movie frame of every now. Since we are a connected whole we do access our future self that continuously comes into being. Our core being (soul) determins the progression which collapses our wave function for successive nows.

Don't believe the new undercover work please catfish it

Free will comes from the Bible. Also, the notion of freedom in the US. Most US Americans will struggle to let go of that.

If you are the sum of your biology and your fetal life is from your mother and your environment it's like you are in this world Use what you got how you got when you got !! Amen

We all have free will. Don't let any idiots tell you otherwise. Such idiot videos are nothing but sophistry on steroids. To actually claim that we are entirely controlled by our biology or by outside forces is the height of evil hubris.

thanks for teaching us about yourself and your work!

She's a hero of modern times.❤

Would i be correct to make the observation that a bird in fact is doing the very say thing we do when chaning tbe medium in which it perform best, in flight, but actually swimming using air as we use water. It struck me having spent many a hour watching every thing it soes while in flignt. It can and does create turn by Ltering its wing struckture as well and swisting its tailfeathers to create a force that with turn it left or right and well as using the same to create thevsame effect when landing as an aircraft lowers its flaps to trap air, and also puts its bodyinto acstall position, but does so withuting its tail feathers cspead out as an air break. The swimmung bit really has me really much interested in its controlled flight and landing, some better equiped to do this better dependingnon tbectype of bird wecare looikooing at. I am interested to copy the action so that is a direct copy of just what happens on each stroke both the down stroke as well as the up stroke, It strikes me that there is a rolling action at the should, very much thevsame as a helechopter preforms a rolling of the rotor at every rotation, where when coming to the front it rolls one way znd does a reverse as the rotor goes toward the back of the aircraft. Not only soes this appear to be the case but also the shape of the wing is change depending weather or not it is a power stroke to create lift.The As far a i can see, by doing so it also alteres its centre of gravity at each stroke, effectively movingnthe wing slightly forward on the down stroke. The whole subject seems to have perplexs mankind from day one, because it is does so easily and for long periods when migrating. The also seem able to sleep while doing all this, not a deep sleep but enought to be able to preform such long trips that we see every year, truly amazing as some of the most travelled bird are not small and although built to teduce weight, they are none the less, for the bigger birds like duck and geese really built to perform this long trip many times duringntheir lives.

WHAT DO YOU DEFINE AS FREE WILL!?!? Always should be the first point in talk

There is free will when there is discipline and self control. No self control - no free will

I understand his point. However there are decisions I make in my daily life that involve FREE WILL as I have different possibilities to choose. Our experiences are everything!!!!
