Like at the very end when explained why we need the electoral college. Then he wondered if “the new social networks” with their instant feed back “which is what Hitler got” are getting dangerous. He said it’s creeping up on us and one day someone might be able to get “fifty million people to do something dangerous.” Dangerous like storm the capitol? Goosebumps!

[@Soulprismatics]

@@Diego38425 some of the things he dismisses became important, later (but though titled as such aren't his vision of AI, that's another intellectual stupidity being hyped ). I have other concerns though. His reasoning towards spiritualistic worldviews are rather funny in face of the multiverse's fine tuning. A missing physical description for consciousness... like for .. dark matter? Only because main religions messed things up, did and incited horrible deeds and never stopped people from religious madness? Should we allow us to derive from human failings that a misused concept is wrong in itself? Misinterpreting a bad application of an idea with the idea of spirit itself is not helpful. Listen a little bit to John Butler, also here on YT, it's quite an opposite point of view. Balancing both views is an artform.

"Number form" refers to a cognitive phenomenon known as synesthesia, where people experience numbers in a highly visual and spatial way. For those with "number form synesthesia," numbers are often perceived as having distinct shapes, colors, or positions in space. For example, someone might see the number 7 as always being in a particular location in their mind's eye, or they might perceive it as having a specific color.

[@neuroclusterbrainmodel9122]

The ideas presented in Marvin Minsky’s book “The Society of Mind” are further developed in “Neurocluster Brain Model” which analyses the processes in the brain from the point of view of the computer science. The brain is a massively parallel computing machine which means that different areas of the brain process the information independently from each other. Neurocluster Brain Model shows how independent massively parallel information processing explains the underlying mechanism of previously unexplainable phenomena such as sleepwalking, dissociative identity disorder (a.k.a. multiple personality disorder), hypnosis, etc.

[@fudgesauce]

Around 1:20:00, Minsky is talking about Richard Dawkins in response to a question about memes. Then at 1:24:40 or so, Minsky pokes Dawkins a bit by saying Dawkin's idea is quaint next to all the stuff we've learned about genetics since then. Both statements show Minsky doesn't remember what "The Selfish Gene" was about. I believe the section on Memes is just one chapter, late in the book. The vast majority of the book is about genes, the hard science that Minsky seemed to imply Dawkins was not informed on. The title of the book is also the main idea of the book: that the unit of selective pressure is the gene, not the entire genome (the conventional view). Often times the two viewpoints comport, but Dawkin's gives some examples showing where the gene-centric view diverges from the whole genome view, and how it explains some results that the conventional view has difficulty explaining.

[@NothingMaster]

Whatever the sense of self maybe it is directly related to the sum total of our experiences and our memories of them. A person with advanced Alzheimer’s disease is often left with no sense of self. No memory, no identity.

[@kirstinstrand6292]

Alzheimer's happens because tragedy occurs when one's sense of identity is destroyed, unless genetics causes the disease. IMHO.

The ‘self’ is adopted by me. It resides inside my physical body. While my physical body grows, the self nourishes and informs the physical body about unities that are occurring while I grow. I imagine the self as absolutely still, deeply quiet and a none actor that is residing in me. I’m not sure a question of love can be answered by my association with the ‘self’ as I know it. However, this old fellow is about to comment on this question of love in relationship to the self. I’ll edit this comment by adding an afterword after I’ve listened. An Afterword: I gather that the professor is saying he loves a world that is mathematical, and only things mathematically verifiable are worthy of his time and energy. That is his love and naught else. I’ll go along with everything but the part about “naught else”. I wonder what grade he would give my summary of his lecture?

[@dillybug605]

His claim that religious people "don't want to go there" with regards to whom created God, creates an interesting paradox within his own atheistic line of belief. I wonder if he ever considered who, whom or what produced/created the elements necessary to form the universe or universes in the first place? And how long has that been going on? Our minds can't comprehend nothingness, so based on our experience, there must have always been something. Belief in an eternal God is really not much different than believing in an eternal universe. You either choose to believe that their is an eternal mind behind our existence, or you choose to believe that some unknowable eternal force is responsible. It's pretty mind blowing when you start to go down this path.

The usual (and sensible) stance is that asking questions that inevitably recursively generate new questions (like who created the creator) is a waste of time/energy.

And he used his explainations as a reason to discretit, which is a bit absurd because in the end on all things empirical one may or may not be right. He confuses frameworks of thinking with results of empiricism and it‘s obvious (and good for science as a whole) that many scientiest do studies that end up in a dead end.

47:08 I'm not sure if he is trying to argue that people don't have free will. it is unclear to me. My argument is that we do have free will. However, we do NOT have free reign over reality. We can only do what our computer computes us to do. We have free will within the confines and limits of how we process information. In other words, we are stuck inside a box. Yet, however, our will is free to roam anywhere within the confines of that box. Overall, my conclusion is that we have free will, but we do NOT have free reign over reality. We can't jump outside of the processing capabilities of our individual self. There are limits! People often push these limits. Those are people who go above and beyond. Like a person who climb mount Everest. That person challenges their will and perceived sense capacities and limitations. However, there are still undeniable limits. We are all bound to operating within the confines of our reality. We have free will, but we do not have free reign over reality.

[@Cruzaflo]

Also, consider if we did not have free will? Wouldn't there be far less discrepancies in our lives?

[@Cruzaflo]

an example of "free reign over reality" would be agent smith from the matrix. he seemed obsessed with the pursuit of getting outside of his operating capabilities. He was unable to accept the limits. He did not want to accept that he can only do what his computer computes him to do. He wanted to get out of the matrix. and, at one point he actually succeeded. But, his free reign over reality didn't last long, and debatably, it was not extensive to outer space. His reign over reality was still confined to earth. still, he was not able to make free reign over infinity.

My inner little voices like this subject. Lorenz has a rather questionable history involving the Nazis, but it doesn't appear to have contaminated his work. Psychology isn't the only "social" science with physics envy; economics has a really bad case. There's an interesting phenomenon, that a good way to learn a subject is to teach it, but if you're a real expert on a topic, it can be hard to teach it to beginners because you know it too well, and can't remember what it was like not to understand it thoroughly.

[@chrislesner2822]

Full schizophrenia may be a malady but having that trait in small amounts may offer evolutionary advantages. Stanford professor Robert Sapolsky's lectures on this topic may be useful to help you understand. If all you see is what is real you are bounded and somewhat blinded by reality. If you can see things that are not real (as long as you do not lose control) suddenly you can see into potential realities and your creativity can be useful to discover things that do not exist. The machine you are reading this message on and all the machines that moved it from my mind to yours are the products of millions of "crazy" ideas.

In the first lecture he gets more into it. The cure does not have anything to do with it. Freud did a great thing to emphasize our unconscious. He is not the first nor last, but he dedicated his life to learning about the unconscious so that is why Minsky mentions him. Minsky knows that our cognitive processes are not all consciois

While I appreciate the humor in this video, I have to say that the idea that Muslims only discovered high school algebra is quite misguided. The ancient Persian civilization was home to some of the world's most brilliant minds, and their contributions to science and technology were unparalleled in their time. For instance, the Persian polymath Al-Khwarizmi is credited with inventing algebra itself, but he also made significant advances in trigonometry, astronomy, and geography. In addition, Persian physician and philosopher Avicenna's work in medicine laid the foundation for modern medical practices, and his book "The Canon of Medicine" was used as a standard medical textbook in Europe for centuries. Persian scientist and mathematician Omar Khayyam was also a pioneer in algebra and geometry, and he made significant contributions to the study of astronomy and the solar calendar. These are just a few examples of the immense scientific progress made in the Islamic world, and it's important to recognize the contributions of these ancient Persian scientists. So while algebra is undoubtedly an important contribution, let's not forget the numerous other advancements made in the Islamic world. Comments like these only serve to perpetuate harmful stereotypes and are frankly quite racist. 7:14
