A great mind like Dr. Ramachandran's shared freely with the public ... I am just grateful.

bravo for your excellent comment! I feel the same way.xxoo

Any thinking man could come to the conclusion of a number which meant "nothingness" or "emptyness", but it took a genius like Brahmagupta to transform it into a real number and use it the way it's used now. And that's an INVENTION, not a discovery. India's contribution to literature, mathematics and philosophy (I consider these three the most important subjects and sources for the human's evolution) is HUGE.

The rolling rrrrrr... Great lecture. Hugely beneficial!

Thank you, Ramachandran, for raising the paradigm bar. You are one of my heroes.

Respect for you sir, You are a great person with outstanding mind and always carrying the culture with you

Meant to add, the great pyramid incorporates into its geometry many things - earth's polar circumference, spherical trigonometry, pi, golden ratio, precession of the equinoxes... also it's geographical location implies knowledge of calculus. and of course the structural engineering that to date can not be recreated using modern equipment. All this from over 12,000 years ago.

The mind as metaphor for a metaphor. Someday , someone needs to work out what's actually going on.

I think his theory has a huge hole...the issue of content. The viewers ability to transport emotion onto an object, any object, and thus have a greater connection with it. Therefore, as long as the artist makes the viewer project their emotion on an artwork that person will have the "ah" moment. There are many reasons why a person would do this, and therefore negate many of his theories. Especially when you take into account what may be going on in the world (their life) at the time.

... but art is in the eye of the beholder. What is art to you might not be art to another. Hence, rasas can’t be universal but the human brain in the pursuit of universality and binary opposition fools itself for it is evolved to do that , ironically even to the neuroscientist here, nevertheless quite artistic lecture otherwise.

@Ramshobraja Western Europe succeeded because of war. Western Europeans had the first professional armies, the Romans, and carried the concept through the middle ages, refining and practicing by murdering each other in their millions. Then, after the Enlightenment, they harnessed science and hit the rest of the planet. Those societies that were successful were the best at killing and domination. You don't have to be good at trade if you're using slave labour and guns.

@LogicalFlawDetector Gosh, you must be a real KZread 'intellerlectural'. I think education is a wonderful thing, but some people make me wonder why anyone would want to bother. I have no doubt I've seen much more of the 'real' world than you would ever care to. The BNP doesn't really believe in travel to broaden one's mind do they?

@LogicalFlawDetector "Sustained tradition in education" etc. Oh yeah, there were loads of secular, democratic states in Europe. Who can forget the secular, democratic Prussian League, or the Russian Tsarist democracy or the great democracies of Spain, Portugal, France, etc. etc. England tried throwing off its monarchy but failed, as did France. You live in a dream world. Secular democracy is only a few hundred years old. The Conquests and the Crusades, etc. were carried out by tyrannies.

I don't know when it started when people start taking mathematics calculations as a superstitious and goddess things just because they find it hard to understand the mathematic and science.

People love arguing about the origin of knowledge. Sorry, almost all of you are wrong. You can argue about who inherited which wisdom from whom, but to argue who CREATED the knowledge in the first place, is laughable. Only examples needed - Khufu's pyramid in Giza and the Great Sphinx. They're part of the same plateau and were built contemporaneously. Problem is, the sphinx has thousands of years of rain erosion. Giza's been dry for 7000 years. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

What a gallant display of Brahmin supremacy!! Very impressive!!

Every culture had math, science and art. Western europe succeeded because of capitalism.

Why is Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Iceland, England, France facing financial problems. The colonies are all gone and so are slave labour. Now only debt is left. Protected by high credit ratings. AAA. It is a matter of time. Capitalism is not European. Indians and Chinese traded across the world before European countries were born. For example the temple in India, google Trivandrum gold temple, it has over 600 billions of European gold coins, paid for Indian goods. And this is the smallest state in India. Wake up the East is coming back to claim what it always had. Innovation and wealth. Learn Hindi or Chinese, may help you find a job soon.

@LogicalFlawDetector Factual flaw No. 1 read history, India has a very old and thriving civilisation and slavery obviously isn't necessary, people only thought it was. Factual flaw No.2 The Moghul empire enforced peace throughout its territories unlike Europe which has been almost continually at war for 2000 years. The Roman Empire was the last period of sustained peace until WWII. Which leads us to flaw No.3 don't spout a load of uneducated opinion because it seems logical to you.

I agree with your point, but Sangam literature mentions a Chola king named Nedunkilli who had Greek Artstians along with many others in his court, We don't have any artifacts from his period yet. But all the Sculptures looked the same even after his period. So he might have a point when he said that Indians preferred this type of Art.

Really good points on Eastern culture & art however this lecture is annoyingly heteronormative and cisnormative.
