2017 Personality 15: Biology/Traits: The Limbic System

In this lecture, I begin my discussion of the relationship between brain function, at a deep, subcortical level, and the existence of the five traits identified by psychometric researchers.
This is a repost from a 2014 lecture, but the slides are edited in. I was not available for this class, and the scheduled replacement speaker had to cancel.

    35:00 onwards is absolutely fantastic! The value in understanding this is immeasurable, especially if your primary goal is psychotherapy, or other such helping professions; even diplomacy and other such important political and military affairs! There are multiple ways of looking at the world! Literally, different ways of looking at the information; even to the idea of what information actually is, what is defined as worth being known. What you see, is determined by your fundamental values - and these values are not even close the capacity of the individual to consciously choosing their own values - it is much deeper than that; fundamental values determine perception; perception determines what you see, and values determine how you will see it. It is much deeper than this, and I can't even scratch the surface yet, but to understand this is so very helpful. Then it is a matter of learning the skills through committed discipline of more accurate communication abilities, and the ability to control ones emotional reactions in conversations that you find repugnant; because for the aforementioned reasons - because the way that you look at the world is different and how you look at the world is different; perhaps even more strange, that they way you do this, in relevance to the set of topics at hand, may be inaccurate.

    WOW!!! So INTERESTING!!!!!!!! FYI: I once was jogging down a remote trail, (in moderately weather, mid September, in Northern Minnesota, in the BWCAW, checking out a "portage" route), not expecting to encounter anything "unusual", when I suddenly, just happened to glance down where my foot was going to land, and saw a small snake, resting, right where I could've stepped! I was able to side-step and avoid injuring the snake, and I could quickly tell that the snake was just as startled as I was, as it was trying to also react quickly enough to get out of my way, as I approached it so suddenly! It was something which I will Always remember, and, It really helps me to remember your Brilliant, and fascinating lecture about these AMAZING topics! I LOVE your AWESOME Lectures!!! THANKS!!!

Jordan Peterson speaks a lot about sacrifices and one of the things that he says is that " YOU GET TO PICK YOUR SACRIFICES YOU DO NOT GET NOT PICK ONE. I completely understand where you coming from however, you should re-think the following: 1-How can you achieve anything worthwhile IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO ANYTHING THAT INST DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO THE DESIRABLE OUTCOME. 2- You have to define what is THE DESIRABLE OUTCOME. Maybe paying attention to your mother's health is part of it. For example your goal is to make more money so that she can get better healthcare. IF DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU TRULY DESIRE, IS TIME TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH YOURSELF. IF YOU LOOK FOR THE ANSWERS YOU WILL FIND IT.

    I think the primary reason I feel that "me" is in the head is because hitting my head disrupts the "me" easiest, compared to other parts of the body. Even a relatively low impact blow (enough to produce mild concussion or even just dizziness) disrupts or warps my experience of me and the world, consciousness basically. Whereas a similar low impact blow to, say, the leg typically only disrupts the leg. I've also had some trouble with sensitive nerves in my elbow, and when I have a problem there, I can feel the pain shock traveling up the arm, and when it hits the neck/head is when I black out. So if I think of "me" as the entity doing the perception of the world, and head is where you shut that down the EASIEST, then that's an example of how one would intuitively arrive at the "self is in the head" conclusion.

    What he says about seeing the snake and jumping into the air without having first gone through a real thought process is so true. I'm really scared of snakes and I tend to scream when I'm suddenly and unexpectedly seeing one. I've been known to scream in a pet shop when I turned the wrong corner and all of a sudden saw a snake in its terrarium. One time I experienced a scream and run episode where I really didn't have time to really see the snake before I reacted, just like professor Peterson explained. I was helping some friends to move some furniture into their house. They were living upstairs and they had a storage room on ground floor where the new furniture was carried into from the moving trailer. My boyfriend and one of the guys living in the flat were carrying a sofa or something into the storage room and I was behind them telling them which way to turn etc. The other guy who lived in the flat too came walking down the stairs. He held his arm weirdly pointing forward and I remember thinking: "Why is he holding his arm so strangely?" Then I noticed a long blotch of light color on his arm and I can't remember which came first. Did the idea of a snake flash in my head first or did I first start screaming and then directly had the idea of a snake flash in my mind? I let out such a bloodcurdling scream that the guys had never heard anything like it and I ran back through the open door into the backyard where I stood screaming and shaking until my boyfriend came to hold me and got me to calm down enough to stop screaming. The guy had meant to scare my boyfriend by sneaking up on him with his pet snake, but that plan was foiled by my reaction. The snake was no longer than his forearm and maybe as thick as his thumb. When I started screaming and running, there were 2 guys and a sofa between me and the snake, and the distance was maybe 5-6 meters. I really couldn't see it well enough under the circumstances to know consciously that it really was a snake. I don't remember even seeing any movement which would have told me that it was a living thing on his arm. Somehow my monkey brain just recognized it as a snake and off I went.

    There aren't and there can't be. The number of subatomic particles in the universe has 80 digits or something.. The number of connections in the brain has less than 22. In the video he talks about the 'number of patterns in the connections'. It's a different thing, and they can be more than 10^80. But comparing "number of patterns of things" with "number of things" seems poor.

    Peterson is right. It's just a poor comparison. He compares a "number of things" with the "number of patterns a thing can have". Even 3 objects have more configurations than all the particles in the universe (given enough space). Also (10^9)! is absurdly big. Millions of digits or something.

So at first i listened to music then audio books and no lectures. So based on what you said about the invisible gorilla experiment and framing. My job is a necessary chore for my living but is intellectually boring and in my opinion deading so i turn my focus to outside stimuli to complete my goal of furthering my knowledge? In any case thank you for placing your lectures online

    @58:55 I've gone without food for 10 days, on two separate occasions... and both instances were between the ages of 13 and 17. As an adult, I usually eat one meal a day, and it's almost always after sunset. I also regularly skip a day too, where I eat nothing at all. (roughly every 10 days or so) I can tell you that hunger pains or the drive to find food, peaks after 3 or 4 days, then declines again... and for me, was completely gone in about a week. (I only felt hungry when I thought about food, so my solution was... Try to Think about Something Else) I have not been to a doctor (outside of the emergency room) in almost 30 years, and I have smoked a pack to a pack and a half or cigarettes a day for 35 years, and I can still blow out a candle from about 15 feet away. I don't know why that is, or even why I'm telling you all this... but, here we are.

I was aware of the dead me, while I was aware of the me sleeping, but the only one that projected thought was the spirit me looking down at my body and recognizing all my other versions of me.

    You can pretty much do a miny version with yourself. Walk into a store for 1 product (doesn't matter what it is), when you leave the store attempt to recall all the products that were next to yours. You most likely wont because everything around your product was irrelevant to the prime task. PS - The original gorilla test was done live, so yes to the original question.
