Brian Greene in To Unweave a Rainbow: Science and the Essence of Being Human

Ғылым және технология

As long ago as the early 19th century, the poet Keats bemoaned the washing away of the world’s beauty and mystery in the wake of natural philosophy’s reductionist insights-its tendency to “unweave a rainbow.” Two centuries later, the tentacles of science have reached far further, wrapping themselves around questions and disciplines once thought beyond the reach of scientific analysis. But like Keats, not everyone is happy. When it comes to the evaluation of human experience-passion to prayer, consciousness to creativity-what can science explain, and what are the limits of its explanatory powers? What is the difference between science and scientism? Are the sciences and the humanities friends or foes? Join an animated discussion on science, reductionism, the mind, the heart, freedom, religion, and the quest for the human difference.
This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.
Original Program Date: June 2, 2016

    @@SimMaverick It definitely is that way. I think it's because the right very often comes from the religious perspective because the church reflects the moral and ethical values of the right. Science always likes to take shots here and there at religious beliefs because so much of the bible is unprovable and cannot simply be put under a microscope. If you took notice they still gave religion it's due, but not like they would if it were quantum physics or something measurable so it can be proven and quantified. Personally I try not to get involved in such matters and my belief system is my own. I wouldn't last two minutes in a debate with any one of these fine Gentleman, and not because I lack.the knowledge but because I lack the patience. Still I enjoy to watch listen and hopefully learn.

Personally, I find life extremely fulfilling and filled with purpose despite thinking that I'm nothing but matter.

    What a tremendous setting and debate!! And the ending, so beautiful and so fitting honoring us as humans. Damn!! Comments below on "beardless santa", Leon Wieseltier are so far away from my experience it amazes me how it can be so far apart. I think Leon Wieseltier is so thoroughly discussing naturalist reductionism and is willing to go to the core of the issue. It is a beautiful respectful debate on such a detailed level that I loved every minute of it. And maybe because he seems more right brain dominant which resonates more with me, he has a more holistic view beyond the reductionist view which requires more of an acceptance of uncertainty than in science (even though I know that not to be so absolute)

Once we simulate an actual brain, we will be able to create gross categories of behavior responses based on different experience sets.

    Leon is a typical philosopher in my humble opinion. Contemporary philosophers often exhibit a sense of over zealous grasping for relevance in a world once dominated by their bread. But now, with the invention of neuro science and other advancements in our understanding, they are being relegated to the margins and no longer hold much relevance in modern debate about the subject at hand. Leon seems to be no exception and leaves a bitter after taste by the end of the discussion.

I completely agree with you that had say, if Newton allocated understanding to non scientific, we would not be where we are now. The discussion is not to break the back of science, but admire it, it is through Newton, Bohr, Einstein, Quantum Physics, Quarks, String Theory, etc., that Mind will, say may, realize that it had its limit, and limit is not a shame, if limits were a shame, those Function whose limit is, Fixed Constant, would be Shameful Functions, I call “SF”.

    What they're really talking about is the emergent property we call "consciousness". That is to say, we can clearly and scientifically define the brain and all it's multiple systems, (neurons, chemical, electrical, etc.), and as science progresses, our instruments and models will become even more accurate and complete, but it does not explain the "experience" we all have as individuals. It does not explain the emergent property of "consciousness" and the perception that we, and other individuals around us, are more than the sum of our parts. The real question is whether this is just an illusion created by complex information processing, or if there is something deeper and more random to our experience, that cannot be quantified by mere numbers.

    I think one of the reasons so many people posit that consciousness of an illusion reducible to causes and effects in the brain, and that we therefore lack true free will, is a combination of the fact that (A) we don't see any other systems that can ignore cause and effect in the world around us and (B) to accept that somehow the brain/mind alone can "self-cause" a certain behavior is for some a hard pill to swallow. What are the limits of this? A slime mold lacks a brain, but it can creatively solve problems despite that (in effect it has a non-neuronal version of an organ granting it a kind of intelligence). Does it have the ability to "choose" to violate cause and effect too and therefore have free will? If not, could a slime mold evolve free will without a brain? If so, what else might have that power? Could a "non-living" (whatever that means) complex system do it? It is a simpler world if we all are equally bound by cause and effect, and there is some comfort in that that is attractive to certain people.

Not easy for a scientist to leave objectivity and to look the subject, as a painter does, as it tells you it is instead of what you have been thaught it is.

I agree and we can show many experiments that prove it, but humans are the only species that show self preponderance - a higher value of themselves - compared to other species. Darwin asserted that the differences among species come in degree rather than kind (Marc Bekoff, Colorado). I agree again. Brian is simply asking for help: I want to be convinced of some transcendental meaning of life, despite my scientific background knowledge. I believe that all human beings want that and need that, because they don't like "uncertainty". But when Neils Bohr says: If you think you understand particle physics then you don't understand particle physics - He states that "we do not and will most likely never know the 0.1 %, because if we did, we would not be human. I think Brian has carefully pointed to the problem via self-analysis. I think Brian is right to say "like everybody else", but he is the first person I have ever heard express this: Science cannot give us 100% certainty, it can only guide our thoughts. But "conclusions" depend on our very personal "information processing". If there is a hidden reality and science would be able to detect it - it would no linger be a hidden reality. The best example that "we all" are searching to find that hidden particle is probably this: We called the Higgs Boson the "god particle" and since god is supposedly everywhere - we invented the Higgs Field.

    1:06:30 Brian Green really shows his scientistism, an ideology. His perspective escapes the spoke of science in the wheel that makes the human experience and understanding. 1:16:00 there may be nothing else required for understanding says Green. Again, scientism. Going too far away from the center is to lose your humanity. 1:58 Ignorance is bliss. A bag of particles governed by math... You are matter and consciousness not just matter. Science studies the category. The human being identifies the category for the scientists to study. Science identies facts within the categories. Those facts in themselves cannot tell you which is more valuable than the other. We will get back to discovering the logos, that is the center with which we experience the world and chose to aim to the source of the logos.

    Due to being brought up in the military style home and a Christian believe that anything that I do is simple I will go to hell is the reason that I became terrified of doing anything simple and thinking I was going to go to hell and having so many phobias. Do you do the experiment I am not scared of anything now I can see the difference from what you guys have made but I still think it’s absolutely gorgeous and I still appreciate the earth for what it is. Especially the day that I got to see string theory little strings in the sky dancing is absolutely beautiful. I honestly do not think that you should bring your children up in a Christian home scaring them thinking that if they do anything that they will go to hell keeping them from growing or exploring. I still like to believe that there is a guard something bigger than me but I understand every single thing that you guys have said and I put all of it together and still like to believe that there is still about it and have that part of the imagination. Do you to all the chaos is the reason that made me so confused already knew what I wanted but when you have a partner who will not communicate with you or even tell you what they want and everybody telling you different things become to the point that you feel like you’re doing something wrong or maybe they just are not into you anymore. It is what it is I know we are up and put on this earth to live and die. And whatever things that we are good at you’re supposed to do love people do good things for others be there for our friends and family and help each other out and unfortunately I’m a hopeless romantic with a very big ♥️. I found out I was more spiritual and that way I can use spirituality with science.

    7Earthsky... the robots could shine shoes haha. The idea is for people to live life, not work to live. Developing skills takes time. With an autonomous labor industry and free education, there could potentially be more physicist, neurosurgeons, artist, etc. we're already seeing a glimpse. Just watch a people are awesome video. People are gaining ridiculous skills because they have the time to do it, but most importantly they enjoy doing it and in general, their skill enriches the lives of others. I understand though. The fact that high unemployment takes on negative connotation implies that the powers that be would find some other way to keep people's minds enslaved. #thehumancondition

    7Earthsky I agree, however, to me it seems politicians are scapegoats for some individuals and corporations. The worst case is, robots take over labor and poverty increases. I like to think, generally speaking, if robots took over labor, everyone's quality of life would increase. I'm an optimist and an advocate of the latter.

    "Are we nothing but the physical processes that make us up." I think the problem there is not the statement, it is instead the 'nothing but'. If you really take time to think about it, the fact that we are this rather queer system of physically processes which goes on with all the other physical processes is quite exquisite! I love science, and the insight it provides, but I don't think science will ever get to the fundamental nature of the world, for the simple reason that the knower can never be the object of it's own knowledge.

    At 12:00, but we can analyse it from the mathematical point (geometry) and look for patterns among most well received pictures as it probably follows the normal distribution among the population's perception of the painting. The reason for why people like those pictures is a different story, but probably also stems from the fact that human brain always seeks to discover and understand the pattern it can observe. At 57:00 it seems that his objective is not the prevention of the collapsing of the human horizon understanding human beings being unique and not a collection of atoms. Rather he preaches the bliss of ignorance and tries to caress humans as children who are not ready for this information.

    Dr. Greene's argument [39:10 - 39:29] is acceptable if it can also be used that: ONCE the brain of humans in about 1000 years from now are able to mathematically and richly write better Quantum Laws of Physics & beautiful mathematics that may explain why a man loves a particular woman meaning his wife, ALL humans later realize from Quantum laws' revelations as to why that man who REASONS NOT to LOVE the CAUSE of him to possess the capability to love at all; alongside NOT loving his wife is an unintelligent human...Worst case scenario divorces his wife! Afterall marrying a woman he doesn't love once he's able to have a better knowledge or wisdom of love via experience described by Quantum Physics would be considered FOOLISHNESS...
