[@cataMailman]

I (teacher) am currently watching this with 18 year old students. To be honest, it isn't going as well as I had hoped. It is incredibly hard for them to wrap their brains around the concepts discussed. I think there are a couple of reasons. For one, it is kind of advanced stuff (my students aren't native English speakers which doesn't help). Second, they don't have the real world experience to, for example, know enough about the fucked up things that have happened in politics, economics, war etc. So there is a lot of context missing that would be required to understand some of the examples. Third, students at that age basically have only learned to accept authority as truth which is natural for young children but then is mostly carried over into general education. The real frustrating thing is that one won't have much more luck with older people because then you have to deal with people being set in their ways and world views and also being heavily involved into rivalrous dynamics themselves which then creates cognitive dissonance when seemingly advantageous and comfortable concepts are threatened.

[@darcyfaegre8447]

[@boneman538]

It’s common in pre-K and w kids. When offering the illusion of choice, it’s usually “do you want carrots or lettuce” - not, “what do you want to eat” (open ended and potentially unhealthy/disappointing if one doesn’t have the provisions to adequately provide for all of the creative ones choosing dragons and/or cheeseburgers as their choice in snack.) If one presents limited options, like a snack choice of only carrots and lettuce, a few may still want to eat dragons/cheese burgers - but they are highly likely to not request them statistically. If an option is never presented, it’s usually not requested as a solution. This is not good if one wants to respond effectively to a world w narratives and agendas. (Critically thinking for self goes out the window for group-think and approved topics for discourse) The controlled opposition + the presentation of the problem, funneled into a (usually) binary illusion of choice, constitutes a lot of our issues today bc the sensemaking is narrowed and confined to a model of understanding that doesn’t actually address the problem(s) at all. Merely bandaids to keep political/economic narratives in power.

This might possibly be the most valuble lesson we can teach in our schools

[@argonfreeman1837]

Well, you can teach it to the school, but the school won't teach it to the children if this teaching clashes with the local government (business model) 's long term agenda. Just look at the "non-binary gender" doctrine that is spreading like a virus through all the public schools in every (westernized) country now. It is making more trouble in the world than there already is; and then backing this up with the feminist-movement is just growing out of hand; causing problems between men and women (the very source of human life on earth) .... this has to stop. Women have equal rights as human beings as men do. Men should also have equal rights that women do, but sadly women have more rights than men now; however, the point is that the "non-binary gender" conspiracy is not about "men vs women" at all - that is their context hijack weaved into this mess; making people believe that "gender dysphoria" is "perfectly normal", same as "homosexuality". This is even growing to the point of pedophilia... - and if you dare challenge their doctrine they throw in "oh so you're saying that women should have less rights than men?" - calling you a chauvinist and a bigot. How much more can we take before we've either had enough, or the whole damn human species is corrupt?

“Almost no one who has fervent ideas has a good epistemic basis for the level of certainty they hold. There is a de-coupling between how much certainty they have and how much certainty they SHOULD have through right process.” (39:30) This is part of why I’m drawn to Jordan Peterson’s work, because in one moment he’ll say something profoundly wise with great confidence, and in the next he’ll honestly admit “I don’t know” or “it’s not clear.”

David W That’s a good point, JBP is fudgy, and defies the usual categories and camps. My sense is that this is not calculated for an audience, but that he (like all of us) isn’t finished figuring things out. He’s a public figure, but that doesn’t mean he’s “done”, he’s on a journey too. And people “in the middle of things” (particularly ones who are trying to be honest) will likely sound vague. He thinks out loud a lot... and exploratory thinking is pretty different from pronouncement or preaching... he’ll swap between all of those in one talk. So I’m not particularly bothered by the fudgy words, and I honestly like the mysticism. The fact that he’s at least trying to combine experiential/participatory knowing with scientific knowing is admirable.

[@maelstrom2313]

​@@GCU-GreyArea Many people say they believe in God while their actions contradict their beliefs. JP for the most part reasons like an agnostic. He's a 'non-believer' on an intellectual level, but he nevertheless chooses to act according to the same principles as the believers. His point, I think, is that belief is not determined by what you think or say, but by your actions.

[@alisaruddell3484]

@@maelstrom2313 I'm a Christian, and I'm very familiar with the approach that "belief is all about mental assent, and if you talk too much about actions you might be a legalist..." I wearied of this. I found JBP's "honest doubt" combined with principled stoic action to be quite refreshing in contrast to the head-on-a-stick disembodied style of Christianity. I've used Peterson's test (turn down the volume and just WATCH what you DO) and found it to be very revealing of my own hypocrisy. And that's genuinely helpful. I can tell he's not an orthodox Christian by standard measures, but I'll take insight wherever I find it.

At the very end, Schmachtenberger's description of his vision of humanity's alternative sounded very familiar. So here's the serious question. What was it exactly that we found, in the Star Trek series and movies, to be so repugnant about the BORG? Throw in A.I. and the rapid advances in medical prosthetic technology, the potential for the reality of the Cyborg is upon us. Was the BORG not what he was describing? What made the BORG evil, the arch villain? In its later iterations we came to understand there was one personality at the core of the BORG directing it, so that it was not mindless or random. But is that not the basis of the example that he gave of the cooperative process of the many cells that make up the human body? Are we not each a personality that gives continuity to the sum of the cells? And, most importantly, is it not the person, the continuity that transcends even deep changes in belief systems, the locus of individuation itself? He says that sense-making is not possible in the context of tribes and/or nation states, but based on the final analysis, why? Based on the model given, why is it not possible to coalesce around lower resolution commonalities and still construct the future of cooperation among all of humanity? Heart cells make up the heart, skin cells make up the skin and so forth and so on. Are those not "tribes" of cells, all directed from the original neutral stem cells? There is still a huge piece missing from this analysis, albeit a brilliant summation of the structures of human interactions, and the structure of the structures we build.

[@Ddotkay]

Best comment I've read so far. Nothing really to add but a lot to think about. Thanks.

[@chiaradina]

If you give the example of stem cells: even these stem cells are being connected to lineages of information outside their physical scope via epigenetics and the on and off switches on genes that react to environmental feedback, triggers etc. so no man (stem cell) is an island. If you further your argument of a physical system in thinking, why not think along the lines of wholesome good health of a single organism that is based on truthful exchange and a system that ensures that the individual unit and the whole can survive - ideally optimally. And even in this setting, we have (on a CNS level) neural branching, neural development that will stabilize health under one premise: truthful exchange and communication. A lot of this video deals with this foundational question IF in fact we live in an environment where truthful exchange with the premise of furthering individual as collective life is a given - or not (and for what reasons).

This presentation, however helpful, is, as you intuited, still a proper-subset of the situation. General-Semantics will tell you ALL maps about a territory are only ever maps; no amount of words can ever *be* the apple, etc. I agree with Daniel-in-the-video about the need to develop a spirit of self-development. In addition to that, that development MUST be in accordance with the idea that the only content of knowledge is similarity-in-structure. A map, when appropriately interpreted, can either exhibit similarity-in-structure to some facet of the "real world", or it cannot. Maps of the latter category are unfit for human survival and human sanity.

[@conalm4090]

There is a huge amount of distortion in almost every aspect of what is stated as factual in our world of this time in our history. Most of it is created for plausible denial on what the factual truth is. The spread of confusion brought on by spoon feeding the general public information by way of the schools systems, media, entertainment industries and among other stated intellectual outlets are overwhelming for a reason. Trends of how to think are created and one becomes manipulated to conform or to believe what is authorized by those who claim to have the power of authority. The reason for this is to benefit those in power to keep their positions, strongholds and systems intact. Fear of ridicule, percussion and attacks on persona are the most powerful means used to pacify clear analysis of logical thinking. Greed and ego rules the state of humanity of this world. Only to wake up from this state of being will reveal the truths in order to free your mind and make this world what it could and should be.

[@tiffanyhackerspace8377]

Yeah, I had an intuition while watching a short clip of him (barefoot again ;-)), JW and J(G)H (I think, is the third) on a couch together (incidentally, the longer clip of that should be up today or yesterday here on Rebel Wisdom), and that intuition was to beware, they're teaching us a new method of allowing ourselves to be mind-kontrolled/indoctrinated - ahem, excuse me, persuaded.... by teaching us to open up to another's viewpoint. My paraphrasing is a bit of a butcher job, but it goes back to JP's Rule (also paraphrased) of "always assume the person I'm listening to knows something I don't." Anyway, the clip I'm speaking of was the Omega method or Omega rule or something, also here on RW. Every time I think I've found something I can really use, the diabolics have gotten there looooong before me and convoluted the system/knowledge. It's very frustrating, just as they intend.

Daniel had a conversation with Eric Weinstein on his podcast called "The Portal," where Daniel belives humanity's long term future is best achieved through radically altering our current society and its dynamics (what he calls Game B) where Eric believes we need to find a way to break the Einsteinian speed limit to escape to other planets. They give each other plenty of healthy pushback, and it's worth watching/listening if you have 3 hours. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZOXon6sZqinrJo

[@boxelder9167]

I was reading the Old and New Testaments and it occurred to me that it was a historical account of idolatry. If I look at it through that lens the nature of man is to try to become free by rejecting God only to then have to free himself from the tyranny of his own ideas. When man is only accountable to himself then man is not accountable. The failure to acknowledge God results in the replacement of God with a counterfeit that allows for personal ambition. Unless the problem of pride is addressed then pride will be mistaken as the solution for the problems and not seen as the cause. Any ideas that prop up pride will become an alternate world view and promoted as the ideal- sometimes with eloquent propaganda and other times with savagery. Both have the end goal of self promotion and both are leading us towards our own destruction. Hence Hell is not a deterrent so much as it is the result of prideful ambition. If that were to deter us then it would function to our advantage much more than pride.

*ruminate 🤗 Ha. Learn something new every day. I assumed by "regurgitate" you actually meant to "chew the cud," as a cow would, regurgitate the cud so she could chew it some more. Upon defining "ruminate", I found this to be definition number two. Def #1 is "to think deeply about something." So, there we have it. (I wonder when the first definition was added. Wish I had an older dictionary.) (Oh, wait, this is the information age. There has to be a words-and-definitions tracker somewhere.) Anyway, cheers 😃

That you for one of the most interesting and informative interviews I have had the pleasure of watching. It verifies my gut belief that we are well and truly f*ked, but also lets me know that there is really no one to blame.

Love your neighbor and do what must be done locally.

[@timneish936]

No. Even complete demoralization is an image of information about the world. A confinement, regardless of it's visceralness, is still an illusion. The proof is that there are other people who have a leviated perspective and at a preexisting time one hasn't had this view point, meaning that this is only a temporal state and whether it is the end all, is a matter of choice. Even being in the worst state of "this sucks", there was a previous situation where that was also thought and we made it through, right? The energy has to come from somewhere to stabalise an unfavourable perspective, meaning that it's already provenly possible to recruit more, to truly overcome it and I agree, to contribute more.

Hi Daniel, the question in the end: "what type of information processing has to happen between humans that allow for error correction on any individual's perception ..." is for the development of science & technology well investigated in this book: "Pandora's Hope (Latour 1990)".

Ya know, I think this is basically what Socrates was about. You can’t have much wisdom if you think you already know the answers. Of course that’s just a part but funny to think that is actually where the entire western culture was born. It was these very questions about truth that started what we would call Classical Greek learning. Pretty funny to think we haven’t answered or solved these fundamental issues in 2500 years. It seems likely we never will.. I will say I think his example of Christianity was helpful to get his point across and has certainly been true often enough, but no good Christian thinks or acts for those motivations. The gist of Christianity is God, not control of people. Despite how mankind corrupts
