Is there anyway you can the get volume up? I've noticed on quite a few of your videos that it's really difficult to hear Chomsky. I really appreciate your channel by the way!

"I think therefore I am." This is a concept that was established much earlier than Bertrand Russel by Rene Descartes, if I am not mistaken.

[@durodriguez]

Russell references Descartes to begin his discussion, but then elaborates. Notice that Chomsky says the only thing we have confidence in is our "immediate consciousness." Russell rejected the notion of a "permanent I," because the person we are today may be different from the person we were yesterday.

Has any one ever seen Chomsky talk about Thomas Nagel?

[@andreasvedeler80]

+Philosophers Reading the News Read something he said about Nagel once, only remember he said Nagel, like most (all?) philosophers of mind were caught up in the blind alleys of the field

[@landonech]

There’s a video somewhere on KZbin where he brings up Nagel’s question “What is it like to be a bat?” and goes on to say something to the effect of “try asking yourself ‘what is it like to be me?’,” before ridiculing what he considers to be a dogma in the study of mind, that we (humans) should in principle be the easiest to study because we have access to our immediate experiences. I’ll link it if I can find it again.

That idea I never heard discussed anywhere. If I am correct in the previous argument, one wonders who or what event was responsible for the moral degradation of civilization, a process that can completely destroy us! Now in the early twentieth century the task was clear for philosophy, words are the key to progressing forward. While Derrida correctly formulated the importance of context providing meaning for words, the historical catalyst was not identified. I believe I discovered it, but it takes more than just this one idea to change the world for the better. To remain true and humble, I would like to describe the process by which my benefactor or benefactors I never met led me to this truth. During my early education Da Vinci was portrayed intentionally as a trouble maker for the Church. Teachers, friends and acquaintances also came by to remind me of the importance of the fact that Leonardo studied mirror writing. In my teenage years i was often approached by friends who reminded me that God is reverse dog, and that Life is reverse evil. The final piece was my own investigation into etymology origins of words and I found that the life of Da Vinci was shortly before the introduction of the words dog, and live into the English language, the reverse God, and life, were much older English words. So the protestant reformation started in 1517, and Da vinci passed in 1519. Now, there has to be a subliminal process by which shorter words are read in both direction and interpreted meaningfully. Just notice your own eyes gaze all over the page, and add the modern discovery of the subconscious processing mind to comprehend this! Da Vinci may have attacked the English language by inserting the most ingenious social engineering in history! Turning God, the authority figure, into a subservient dog, and evil into life, a damaging association. What no one saw forthcoming, English became the official language of the world. I could find only one clue to his mischief, and that is the drawing by him titled the allegory of wolf and eagle. The issue is the wolf looks like a domesticated dog, and the eagle has a neck reminiscent of a serpent. The serpent is the symbol of evil in the old testament, and there you have it, There are lots of theories and pop culture references about the hidden symbols in Da vinci's work, but the Da vinci code may have missed the more important clue, presented here. I believe Da Vinci was the greatest genius who ever lived, but he played with fire, and now the world may burn for it. I am not mad at him, but someone smarter than me must write a book about this suspicion, to start a debate! And it has to be soon, because the implications are enormous.

I can see how "God" is reverse "dog," Defendor, but how is "life" reverse "evil?" I get "live." I predict that you will write a novel filled with mystery and intrigue, set in Rome. After that, you will write a series of formulaic books set in other places.

Let just assume that alive dog is better than a dead lion..🤔

Consciousness is the store house of knowledge. Knowledge is derived from the processing of information correctly and in accordance with the universal principles. For example.. Our reality as is defined by the physical universe and of which we owe our existence to, is dependent on the universal principles of balance. This is true for you as it is for everyone and everything in the universe. Some might ask.. How can we "know" this? I ask them How can we "not know" this? For it is blatantly obvious. Now, when we speak of consciousness we are talking about the mind. The mind is not the physical brain. The physical brain processes information and we process information through the physical brain's biological processing system. The mind is not physical and we do not process information from our mind. We access knowledge from our mind that has already been processed by the physical brain. The brain processes information. The mind accesses knowledge. There are dimensions to the mind. Higher dimensions of which different levels of knowledge abide and lower dimensions of which knowledge as idea exists on the mental planes along with thought forms waiting to be processed into knowledge.

Care to explain???

Hoigens? It's always amusing to hear Americans pronounce Dutch names. In the case of Huygens, there are two consecutive phones which do not occur in English.
