@@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.

I'm going to disagree with most people here. These lectures are of abysmal quality. It's just the ramblings of a highly opinionated man past his prime and with a superiority complex, with absolutely no structure. I highly recommend them as a sleep aid though.

What happened to all those that used your logic and went all in on Cathy Wood's ARK Innovation ETF once it had reputation for being best? Was it a good idea for them? Why not? Probability matching = diversification. The more optimized you are for current environment the more fragile you are when it changes.

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.

I think 'falling in love' was just a place holder for 'feelings' in general, which he touched on in connection to how the brain works. One slide read something in the lines of...'Is emotional and intellectual thinking really are that different?'

Plato and Aristotle studied at Kemet university.

Great lecture! Do not be misguided by the title though, it has nothing to do with falling in love xD

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.

anyone know what Robert Sawyer book he's talking about?

He confused some facts about von Neumann, who was born in a Jewish family in Hungary, not in Romania or Bulgaria. Prof. Minsky probably took Budapest for Bucharest. And I can't really see how any of these three countries is 'next to the Baltic'... Well, great lecture anyway.

I love when he says the bit about people criticizing him cuz he proposed to many things because it elevates the mere idea above the evidence for the soundess of the idea. At least in a scientific sense, it seems valid to me(please correct any error in my thinking) to criticize someones opus if it only contains ideas. as long as they‘re not shown in any scientific sense to be more than plausible, in that sense they are useless as real explainations. this doesn’t mean the ideas aren‘t worth considering. any way forgot where Ibstarzed

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.

„There are lot‘s of thibgs that don‘t into newtons laws these days“ As a rebuttal for psychologists not to be liky physicists is the best example for how precisely physics as a field evolved precisely because they didn‘t stick to what was before them. I‘m so torn with this guy because he‘s very nice to listen two but (at least these first two lectures) are so little about his theories and more about how ithers where wrong projected onto entire fields. 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. It‘s better when out there than when not.

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. High intelligence often comes with small doses of madness.

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. Mathematicians seem particularly prone to it. ("It will be immediately obvious to the reader...."; no, it bloody isn't, that's why I'm reading this book.)

This lecture is completely mistitled. Then, right out of the gate, professor insinuates as dangerous the idea of the soul/self. So why should we vare he likes science fiction but not questions of faith. Danger and faith are not necessarily yoked together. Intellectual arrogance is hubris, where humility is the greater servant of mankind. We living beings are witness of the cosmos and our meaning is what we make, learn, and do. Our creativity and ultimate aspiration are sublime and true. Analysis fails when it postures as superior to that which is analyzed. Emotion, inspiration, talent, bliss and the magic of life and the universe are still not understood. Respect others, their equality and their personal freedom of conscience.
