The awakening from the meaning crysis series is the best lecture series I have ever seen. It is just beyond comprehension how a human being can go so deep into these matters and present them to the large public in an inteligeble manner. Prof. Vervaeke is a pure genius ♥️ I whole heartedly recommend this series

iNDEED IT IS...sort of an allusion to the recombination of the fragmentation he emphasizes through\out this video

💯 The modern mind IS fragmented. As fragmented as we are from each other. There is nothing that unites us, nationally or globally. We have forgotten our human dignity, our souls, but it’s the things of the soul which can unite us.

In a sense Cognitive Science embarks upon the project that Existential Psychology undertook, namely to see man as a whole and not as fragmentized and compartmentalized elements.

well it would be more appropriate to say that to see a man/mind as a whole and postulate that it's not the same as a sum of each individual smaller part is actually a main claim of Gestalt psychology, though Existential psy partly contains pretty common concept, but it mainly concentrates on the uniqueness of human self, uniqueness of every moment and believes in freedom of every human life choices, as well as values reason and cause of those decisions (those who have their "why" will stand almost any "how")

​@@pederslothzuricho7685 What I meant is we will figure out how to create a language dedicated to communication that will make use of the structure we use in object oriented programming, that being that every block is modular and can affect the rest of a sentence with its own logic I guess... My point is that OOP can do a lot of stuff to convey meaning that our regular languages can't, and I believe that eventually we will figure out how to take advantage of that property to create a new more powerful language. It's not easy to put words on such a new concept, but basically what I mean is that language would be modular in the sense that it could re-use conceptual patterns to talk about anything you would pass as an argument to a concept. It would avoid awkward phrasing by making more complex concepts much easier to convey/grasp due to a different type of structure and replacing grammar with a non-primitive version of that concept that actually serves a helpful purpose beyond a correct spelling and syntax. Basically a better encoding of communication to be more efficient and push our cognitive limits as a human race. No more "lost in translation", no more misconveyed emotions, no more rambling. Straight to the point informations that carries itself and its own meaning so nothing is left to interpretation.

@@john85132 Sure, constructors can setup logic that can be repeated without being explained every time when creating new objects. A namespace and more generally blocks avoids confusion about scope. Variables let you keep track of concepts that have already been set too but are able to change dynamically. It's kinda hard to translate it into human concept, but I believe an AI made to know everything about cognitive sciences and psychology could create its own intermediate language that can be used between humans and between human AI without any confusion for any part.

The clinical tests that Johns Hopkins and NYU have been conducting, under Dr Roland Griffiths, with Psilocybin-assisted therapy has inspired me to get into cognitive sciences/pharmacology. I think I finally figured out what I want to study in college.....at the age of 30 😂

Big facts

based John Vervaeke

Yes, synthesizing the core of these disciplines is possible, largely with developing a new language. And by the way, there IS something mysterious and magical in us all! Your meditation class will bring that out in participants.😎🤺🙏

This is a really interesting topic and Dr. Vervaeke sounds like an amazing teacher I would loved to be enrolled with. I often feel like for most humans that understanding of causal interaction is innate and that's why people don't consider it an urgent matter. Personally I've got some cognitive disabilities due to childhood trauma and I'm convinced figuring out that language of causal interaction will happen through technology and AI advancements. But there's one trick. Human cognition isn't only thoughts that can be explained through language, no matter which language. It's also emotional reactions and visualization. It all ties in with memory in the prefrontal cortex. We need to figure out how to generate that emergence through computer simulation so that it includes not only a lossy encryption through language, but an actual recreation on the biological chemistry level. At least that's what it should take to break through with AI and really be able to use it to collect data on the human brain as well.

I’m currently going through the awakening from the meaning crisis, some of it is difficult to understand but I’m pushing through! How are you doing now?

Cognitive Science: A branch of psychology that aims to figuratively find out how minds work without literally having to figure out how minds work. Not to be confused with 2nd generation cognitive science, which aims to literally figure out how minds work without figuring. 2nd Generation Cognitive Science: Coined by the linguist George Lakoff. In contrast to to 1st generation cognitive science, holds that behavior occurs primarily due to the influence of sensori-motor areas of the body, or 'embodiment'. That means that your day to day decisions are more likely to be due to that day old burrito you ate this morning than any purely thinking processes going on in your noggin, which come to think of it makes sense. from Dr. Mezmer’s World of Bad Psychology, found on an internet near you!

@lesliecunliffe4450

3 жыл бұрын

I think you'll find that Lakoff's thinking is, without his knowing, a footnote to Wittgenstein and Heidegger, who also provided the additional insight that embodiment also manifests the social within. This is why cog. psychology 2 can trades under the name of discursive psychology, and why John Shotter, one of the thinkers who initiated the move away from cog. psych 1, made the logical move and became a Wittgensteinian thinker.

Where do you recommend me to take the Cognitive science master program? I'm currently a UX designer

WOW!! I love this discussion. Only cognition can combine or integrate different disciplines together. That's what I like about cognitive science. It's so powerful.

I don’t think he makes the point very well. How can the fragmentation of the view of the mind by neurologists, psychologists and cultural anthropologists cause alienation and confusion of meaning in the vast majority of us who have no knowledge of those disciplines? If it doesn’t look "apart" to me, I don’t think I’d see a need to put it "back together."

He seems like a brilliant guy and high on the "good-faith" scale; great compassion and sincerity. It seems doubtful that inventing rituals and similar religious practices will carry the same weight as traditional ones - I suppose time will tell.

This talk provides no new insight. Wittgenstein had already established such a paradigm minus the idea that 'cognitive science' would be the master key for understanding the mind. His philosophical psychology aims to dissolve this misconception.

Since cognitive science (sic) is not science, this is, of necessity, a logically incoherent lecture. BTW: Since the lecturer is putting the mind back together, what exactly is this broken object/entity (i.e., mind)? A multiplicity of what? Pure nonsense. Passionate about vacuous verbiage.

To get the whole picture you need to acknowledge the Creator. Then all the disconnection will melt away I think. But today’s science only has one eye ( materialistic)
