Paul Bloom is fantastic. I never tire of listening to him. A thoroughly entertaining intellectual.

I do not want to know everything because, learning everyday make me happy.

[@premier69]

I'm gonna quote you!

[@FR-yr2lo]

You don't really want to know then. What you like is the excitation associated with novelty. Not sheer knowledge.

[@Iambecome]

Once again I am convinced that consciousness is a very powerful and dangerous thing. But if you learn to control and direct it or even change it a little, you can get a big advantage in life.

[@lesilluminations1]

Brilliant.

[@ghostbuddy]

For those that enjoyed this lecture, I recommend watching Paul Blooms intro to psychology course. You can probably find it on the side bar of this video.

[@robertmoore165]

Robert sapolski has video lectures on behavioral psychology as well from Stanford.

[@giorgos-4515]

have watched it and can say they were really interesting and explored a lot of topics

[@agentalphota6954]

Paul shows us "abstract" painting by his son and says that his son described it as an aeroplane which had nothing to do with the painting. Strangely enough as soon as I saw the painting I thought "That's a picture of an aeroplane coming out of a disaster/weather zone/event. The aeroplane was absolutely clear to me and black and down on the bottom right and very easy to discern. I am a painter and art teacher. So what's up here.

[@BlessednHollyFavored]

Brillant lecture

[@glutinousmaximus]

His son's picture at 9:12 entitled 'Airplane' _does_ look like an aircraft (bottom right) maybe coming out of a cloud.

[@Petrock508]

55:48 It's the same for other genres too.

[@ztom7971]

I really really want to ask, can we still see things in a new born's eyes after we've already known the behind stories?

[@premier69]

no

[@FCastillo000]

the exact midpoint of this video is 28:52

[@billilkovski7928]

This kind of bias is prevalent in society and most people, the ability to bypass your preferences and biases produces the capacity to view art in an objective sense free from personal preferences and bias. This is not an easy feat but can be achieved and unlocks the doors to bliss and ecstasy at the drop of a hat. A fined tuned human can determine the difference between good and bad art according to the level it can include and compress useful information.

[@coreycox2345]

I agree, Bill Ilkovski, and I am sure that I have these biases as much as anyone. It is really something to have a visceral response to art without knowing a thing about it. Sometimes it is the art that promotes this...just that compelling.

[@miasnutella]

Mr. Bloom, I wish I could marry you.

[@miasnutella]

Although in love with Mr. Bloom, I would defend Pollock in this lecture to the death.

[@dragonfly7116]

There an art to the news

[@Jinxyzzy]

'Professor Bloom will be available for book signings afterwards'. Now why would he do that? :P

[@premier69]

EGO!

[@Sodhats]

It's really weird when audiences laugh at things that weren't meant to be jokes, just because the intonation or phrasing of the person saying them makes them sound a bit like a joke

[@robertmoore165]

The truism is true?

[@SecretEyeSpot]

I strictly disagree with his opinion on sexual preferences as "unconditional".. that is to say, as he says, "you can't throw a switch".. but under extreme stress and circumstance.. it's not only possible, but may be crucial to one's well-being..

[@coreycox2345]

Do you mean prison or something like it Secret EyeSpot? Makes sense.

[@rachelhansbro7802]

….Bed trick🤣 Like if all celebrities were actually the opposite gender and we were lusting over idols of the same sex…

[@glutinousmaximus]

I detest most modern art. Sorry - but I do. The only stuff I like, to come in recent years is Banksy's work.
