Dreams are real until you wake up, the missing piece of this puzzle IMO is the multi-period aspect of experience i.e. life. Rationality as well, only matters for a multi-period experience; if you lived only for a moment the senses would be your only truth and your only guide post for decision making, no? Seperately: re simulation, what is the difference between a simulated and "true" reality? How can they be different, even if you are aware (let alone if you're not)? I've never understood how people can differentiate the two...

Hi Adam, you mention without concern that an artificial person is one who represents others but Hobbes mentions that "Persona in Latin signifies the disguise, or outward appearance of man, counterfeited on the stage". His mention of "counterfeited appearance" has much darker undertones, no?

If you're conflicted about whether to strive for improvement or to find peace with what you have, you need to lean on the advice you shared during the aristotle lectures: golden mean! ;)

You have a lot more control over your outer world than people like to admit. "You are in charge of creating the outer world you end up living in." Perfect example is the one you gave: if you go to a nude beach, you will see naked people!

As a vegetarian and philosopher, what is your response to and opinion of people who simply say "I dont care about the animal's suffering"?

@jimboford9504 Ай бұрын

There is so much discussion in this lecture about what makes someone's actions good or bad but the more important question is being ignored: who is awarded the power of judgment and why? All these discussions relate to passing judgment on others, determining intent of others' actions, etc, but missing the more important point: why would they care about what we think of them? What gives us the power of judgment over others? If someone robs a bank, who are we? They know what they are doing and they will decide whether or not it will be and then afterwards whether it was the right thing to do. Is it perhaps a little "self-indulgent" to assume that our opinion matters to anyone other than ourselves?

"Should is not a real word" has been my life's guiding principle for 2 decades lol sad to hear you brush it off so easily

@adamrosenfeld9384 Ай бұрын

"should" I not brush it off so easily?

@jimboford9504 Ай бұрын

@@adamrosenfeld9384 actually that principle of mine eventually evolved into "should can only mean anything if followed by 'in order to' ", and so I must qualify that "in order to" get to the bottom of morality and how to live our lives, we definitely "should" not brush off the fact that "should is not a real word"! ;)

@adamrosenfeld9384 Ай бұрын

I see we've jumped from "principle" to "fact" now. OK, I won't brush it off **easily.** Do you have any reason why I "should" believe that "should is not a real word" in order to "get to the bottom of morality and how to live our lives." And while I've got your attention, "should" I aim to "get to the bottom of morality and how to live our lives?" Is this also something that only "should" be done for the sake of something else, or is it a "should" for its own sake?

@jimboford9504 Ай бұрын

@@adamrosenfeld9384 indeed I do have good reason! A very simple one in fact, that should implies objective purpose. Adding "in order to" validates the word by delineating purpose, but otherwise we are using "should" without delineation, implying some grand objective purpose which of course we all agree does not exist ;) As for sakeness of getting to the bottom of how to live, you and I do it because it is what excites us, bc we feel the urge to inquire, and "feelings are our only fundamental truth" (that is my latest guiding principle in case you're wondering - it really seems that this one answers everything). To contrast, my wife does not feel compelled to inquire, no matter how kind she is with her time and how often she sits and listens to me blabber about these things, so for her I would not say she "should" waste her time on this stuff, although there is the risk that she makes decisions now that she regrets later because she hasn't considered this stuff, so that is something to keep in mind if ever she did care for a recommendation from me on how to live her life (low chance). I am very flattered that you feel you have my attention because I feel quite the opposite! Thank you for indulging me in any case :)

Is "honesty" a vice in this example? If so, that doesn't seem quite right to me. Vices best fit unambiguously negative character traits, and virtues unambiguously positive ones.

Adam, amazing lectures. The way you deliver really engages people. Please continue with your style and do not change it. Lovely lectures. I listen to them while I drive to work and back home. Instead of some nonsense pop music played on the radio, I prefer to nurture my mind with these lectures. Also, I love the part where you say that Philosophy it is not knowing who said what, but how they said it and why (more or less is what you mention at the beginning of the lecture).

her puritanical viewpoint in that day of age isn't that remarkable to keep repeating. She is a woman after all, she knows how dangerous it can be to get pregnant. In that time. Socially but also a matter of life and death. She herself is an example of how dangerous it can be. Not having the right environment, giving birth in stressful situations only makes it more dangerous. It's not that weird for women to be more puritanical in that sense and more easily condemn having to much focus on bodily pleasures. As for them it can turn out very sour fast, while for men it's not equally as dangerous.

We can conceive of what is not in a logical sense. It's the denial of the existence of what is. Similarly we can conceive of Nothing in a logical sense. It's the absolute negation of any existence. But when we look at the world of being, all of this stops making sense, because it does not contain Nothing. But the world of being doesn't exhaust the world as such, which does include the world of non-being. Parmenides can claim there's no difference as such or there's no change at all because he discards the critical element of becoming in the first move in his argument. It's like trying to cognise a coin by looking at the tail only, totally ignoring the fact that the head always comes with the tail, making the whole together (assuming the strict monist interpretation).

Thank you for taking the action to make this world a better place. I wonder how this (Western) thinking squares away (if at all) with the Eastern school of thought. In Buddhism, nirvana is achieved through the transcendence of desire, which is the root of suffering. Clearly, there is at least some overlap and it makes me wonder if desire can be eliminated or reduced to an almost irreducible minimum, and if so, if that would be a good thing. Kudos on your lecture, this is the first of many I watch from you.
