As always, a fantastic and energizing lecture. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, Dr Darren Staloff, and Dr Michael Sugrue, you are a treat to watch and learn from, thank you.

[@gkalkowsky]

Staloff is an absolute OG

[@saimbhat6243]

He is actually an OG. He seems so passionate about philosophy, has so much energy, dark spiderman demeanor, uses precise language. He is a benchmark for me to judge how good a professor is.

[@ragnarosthefirelord8662]

Thanks as always for sharing these incredible lectures. Cheers to Drs Staloff and Sugrue for making their wealth of knowledge so accessible

[@Schlynn]

I hope there are an infinite amount more of these lectures to still be uploaded.

This is crazy af! Im just reading Kuhn, literally put the book down and I see this

[@iAmEhead]

Ha ha... it appears our phones might not only be listening to us but reading our minds now too. Apple's next big breakthrough. :)

Whatever, I'm REreading the Da Vinci Code, Brown - ever hear of it?

Nice to see some new old stuff being posted, always a pleasure!

[@joshuaolian1245]

this is a fantastic lecture i really enjoyed! just one small nitpick: avogadro’s number is not a physical constant like the gravitational constant it’s not a number we can measure from the world, it’s not a constant of nature that we observe it’s a standardization constant for normalizing amounts of a substance. it’s like the word “dozen” it tells you exactly how many of something you have specially, exactly how many things there are in a “mole” which is like chemists’ version of a dozen a dozen is 12 things a mole is 6.02214076*10^23 things it’s a lot of things but it’s just a way of counting physical objects(usually particles since you don’t often have that many eggs) so two dozen is 12*2 and two moles is avogadro’s number * 2 and most importantly, it could be any number. it’s arbitrary we picked that one for historical reasons: it’s very close to the amount of subatomic particles in a gram of carbon but of course a gram is arbitrary too

Thank you for this lecture about Thomas Samuel Kuhn, American Philosopher and Historian of Science. Born July 18, 1922- died July 17, 1996 Cambridge, Massachusetts.( PHD in physics. ) I did some research on him and heard of his name before, but I will have to buy his book he wrote in 1966, "The Structure of Scientific Revolution." Revolutionnary piece of work. Pre- science, normal science, model Drift, Model Crisis, Model Revolution, Paradigm Change. After listening to you, Dr. Stalof, I want to learn more. Many came against him, such as Palmus, Putnam, & Popper. More studying. Thank you always.

Would Dr Staloff be here in chat? Thank him for participating in this project

[@tinfoilhatscholar]

"if you want to make small changes, change the way you're doing things. If you want to make great changes, change the way you're seeing things" It's all about that paradigm shift! When the West learns to think like Whitehead, we will see a very different world. Thank you for sharing professor!

[@tamiloreolufemi9685]

Hello please tell me where exactly I can find this quote from whitehead?

[@tinfoilhatscholar]

It's not a Whitehead quote. It's a Whitehead way of thinking. I am forging ahead in the new paradigm while harnessing the knowledge from the past. That's why I'm studying philosophy to aid in the work of promoting soil health.

[@psychopathmedia]

1. That assumes the "way of seeing things" is flawed (it may not be) 2. It also assumes things require changing (in most cases yes, but not always) 3. How would changing actions vs viewpoint innately affect the magnitude of change? If I just change my viewpoint on slavery does that create more change than killing plantation owners? Philosophy is the intellectual's "plantation"

A paradigm shift in everyday life as a fundamental change in how one may see the world. Changing ingredients a paradigm opens up a new range of newlife range of newlines for your personal growth, presenting one with new opportunities. 5 paradigm growth 1. Educational Equity 2. Fixing marginalized Families>Eradicating Practice. 3. Color blindness - self education 4. learning about other cultures - Fighting for the rights of all students . 5. Celebrating diversity - Commying to Equity.

Staloff is great. The way he speaks is very easy to follow. His closing statements are perfect at summing things up. Loved this lecture

Brilliant talk - we've come to expect them, and you never fail to deliver.

Wow. Where has this one been? Dr. Staloff at his best. Really enjoyed this one and I actually comprehended most of it.😂

[@larryharless7804]

Learned soo much. Thanks.

[@edwardmatthews2061]

Yes, this is what I was hoping for

[@not_emerald]

Kuhn and Feyerabend were my biggest inspirations in interpreting science. I think both of them would be very unhappy with how things went out throughout the last 3 or 4 years.

Just commenting as I go..Looking at the ‘Cube’ that is The Scream.. Edvard Munch!? No? We certainly can go back and forth from that!! It’s funny Darren loves to say Gestalt..it’s like so wise isn’t it! I think Dr Stallof should make a video on what Gestalt means ..to the lay person of course..it’s derivative/ meaning/ word in English/ hand sweeping motion of the hand..Very interesting I have been told!

[@thegeordierambler4373]

Ps.. I went through a tremendous amount of adverts to get to the point..or rather to get to a position I was looking for.. never found it! But hey you guys will say..em there was never a point that I wanted you to get to..Chuckle Chuckle..we need to think for ourselves right?

[@dr.michaelsugrue]

ads are fixed

[@thegeordierambler4373]

@@dr.michaelsugrue It’s a strange world we live in now Sir. Imagine the greats of the past not having this ‘voice’? I do believe, however, you can apologise for the adverts inserted in the break up of a message. I also think you can request for this to be stopped? Not sure? Perhaps from this moment forward we will never be able to stop being controlled? I have an idea though..and it’s a book..Now.. they can’t put adverts in a book( well some MF could second guess you and put it in a footnote) you can have your free flowing thoughts wrapped up..clearly and in a nutshell… There’s a thought that’s stopped me in my tracks. ‘Nutshell’ where on earth did that come from and who coined it? Yes, a digression, I know.. My point..well..just keep on enlightening people! The book is Essential though!!!!

Why was this one dropped 😅

[@21stcentury.renaissance]

If anyone is wondering about the resolution to the problem unidirectional progression of Scientific Paradigm Shifts that Staloff highlights in Kuhn's argument toward the end of the lecture, Jordan Peterson highlights Jean Piaget's response to this very problem with the argument that Scientific Paradigms progress in such a fashion that they become nested in a newly rearticulated hierarchical structure of the world which adds to itself a realm of phenomena which differ above or below the previous maximal layers of analysis by an order of magnitude. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIKXh4aInJmYbtk

I'd also like them to please add a slappin bass track, nothing too crazy, just an ominous 20-40hz pulsating thump to add a little drama to this banger.

If you have monitor headphones, why do you not also have a headphone amp? You could make this video ear-shatteringly loud very easily with even a cheap-o amp

[@kaimarmalade9660]

I'm going to call it-- Kuhn's right but like in the sense he might have done what Hegel was trying to do. In the last 50 years or so we've had Ed Lorenz, Benoit Mandelbrot, N. Taleb, D. Sornette, Mitchell Feigenbaum + others that have given rise to, "Dynamical Systems Theory" which we all know as, "Chaotology/Chaos Math" because of Jurassic Park. The fact that non-linear system mechanics applies to nearly everything undermines the linearity of Baconian and, "post-Newtownian" models gives rise to the need for a new epistemology and explains the reproducability crisis. Coherent meta-systems after these insights can't be criticalized-by-experiment as the experiment cannot be terminally falsified. We're seeing, "science" is a part of a spectrum of, "seeing" and, "truth" that is like a rainbow. It doesn't constitute all or even the more meaningful parts of human experience. This kills the hope that technology will be able to solve all human problems. This kills the cultural zeitgeist of the late 20th century. Mrs. Frizzle and Scholastic Books were wrong, baby; in the words of the Delphic Oracle, "surety brings ruin." Here's a fun open question: what, "category" of knowledge is the Feigenbaum Constant? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_system en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_systems_theory en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set#Self-similarity en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feigenbaum_constants en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifurcation_diagram en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similarity en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_completeness_theorem

[@kaimarmalade9660]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifragile_(book) N. Taleb might be a bit of a maverick but it's this kind of thing that constitutes, "contemporary knowledge" but it's only if you combine it with something like Myron Barnstone's Renaissance painting method-- there's a contemporary equivalent to the, "Camera Lucida" that someone could make that could revolutionize animation and filmmaking.

[@kaimarmalade9660]

This is really significant true too for doctors (in relation to the other video you posted). Their could be another Galen in our proverbial lifetime that will use a new epistemology and the tools of, "right now" to create a much more, "effective means" (coherence) of keeping people healthy. Modern medicine is ruined by Central Limit Theorem and the non applicability of statistical norms/means to real people (big problem) alongside the necessary rigidity of centralized institutions. This might explain why medical misdiagnosis is the second leading cause of death in the United States. #Galen

[@kaimarmalade9660]

In the future you'll have a new type of, "data." It will be, "the data and the epistemic model(s) where in the data has coherence" rather than, "discretized bits." I think the reason we, "haven't go there yet" is that we're still chasing quantum computers (which is the, "past" paradigm's explanation for, "randomness") as a foundational model for creating, "maybe/fuzzy bits." We should just simulate new computers with the ones we have now because Turing showed that Turing Machines and the Lambda Calculus are universal. The machines of the future are made up of the machines of the present but thought of as, "machines which contain stochastic possibilities" rather than, "machines that contain a kind of determinable truth." Hilary Putnam eat your frickin' heart out!

Science is dead she remains dead and Her blood is on our hands. I am become death. I am the destroyer of Gods.

[@shaunkerr8721]

Science seems really alive in the culture & provides the backbone for a lot of causes for society, like God use to Perhaps you could enlighten as to how society doesn't utilize the scientific method to produce ideas of how to move itself in any given direction...
