This is the highest minds-blown-per-minute I've ever experienced... "Suffering is the result of caring about things that you cannot change. If you are able to change what you care about to those things that you can change, you will not suffer." 🤯 0:06 "Happiness itself is not important. Happiness is like a cookie." 🤯 0:21 "The environment cannot make you happy, it's your appraisal of your environment that makes you happy. And if you can change your appraisal of the environment, which you can learn to, then you can create arbitrary states of happiness." 🤯 0:52 "It's very hard to sterilize a planet once it's infected with life." 🤯 2:34 "You are just an expression of the cell." 🤯 2:49 "You shift the boundaries between the ordered systems into the realm of the chaos." 🤯 4:48 "What feels most meaningful to me is to try to build and maintain a sustainable civilization." 🤯 5:05 "Is it possible that a gas giant could become intelligent, what would that involve?" 🤯 6:04 "I don't think that God has anything to do with creation. I think it's a mistranslation of the Talmud into the Catholic mythology. I think that Genesis is actually the childhood memories of a god. It's a mind that's remembering how it came into being." 🤯 7:34 "The higher being that we are part of is the civilization." 🤯 10:04 ...Wait, the full conversation is 3 HOURS? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

rocking in your chair is a sort of nodding with your whole body, you think? We nod with our heads to accept new information into our beings. Would a bigger nod, a whole body nod, serve the same function for bigger information? I certainly find myself pausing when I come across something new, something I need to reflect on, or play again in my head, but often I realize this information is new after i've paused it, that the mechanism for pausing is so embodied for me that it happens before i'm consciously aware the information is new. Weird stuff.

I think if you've never been exposed, or have a shallow exposure to some of these topics, it's gonna require a rewind, so the less articulated explanations he provides are great. Remember, Joscha has already been thinking and exploring these things for some time, so don't discount yourself as "common" if you feel like the topics are a little lofty. If you're watching these videos, odds are, you're probably not very common.

i set my happiness cookie boolean to false to avoid the anger from getting my hopes up

You can wonder why you're unhappy for months if not years and he puts it so perfectly. You're unhappy because you care about something that cannot be changed so care about something that you can change. So simple and over looked yet so fucking powerful #thatslit

The complexity of the beautiful explanations of Joscha and how Lex patiently takes them and carefully aprehend them recalls me the conversations between David Bohm and Jiddu Krishnamurti in the 60's-70's of the previous century. Those were more metaphysical conversations, but that same mood is here imho.

Joshua may be the smartest (or at least the most articulate) man alive.

Such complex ideas but spoken so eloquently- notice he basically never stutters or goes “uhm” “ahhh” the concepts are so clear in his mind! What a great conversation!

In case you don't get it: This means you should meditate

This is an amazing clip, Joscha Bach just blows my mind! Our reality is the memory of a higher being/civilization that exists outside of time.

If one day an alien live visits Earth, I want officially request Joscha to represent our civilization.

He is the prove that beauty radiates from the mind! Thank you for makes your thoughts available to us.

Never thought of happiness that way

The meaning of life is to live it. That off course implies a lot of new questions, and this is , where the fun begins !

Great video

Interesting to hear the Solaris reference applied. I admit I've never read Lem's book or watched to 2002 Hollywood movie but Tarkovsky film next to Come and See is one of most intense things I've ever watched.

God damn its great listening to people who I have many disagreements with but can’t wait to hear what they have to say next. You so often extract the best in your guests Lex. 🍻

I love the concept of the societal super-organism which I share re- the janus relationship between cell-body and body(individual)-society. I think Bion theory building on Winnicott has very strong description and fits very neatly also with evolutionary psychology.

Wise words!

Thaddeus Golas had this theory in his book " love and pain" arrived at in a different way. Purpose is to evolve, there is no plan - its completely wild but will evolves its own systems as it goes along. His smallest particle is the Atom, or the whole that can also a particle when contracted.

Wonderful clip. Tripped up on Bach’s intuition that abiogenesis is very unlikely, and that spontaneous intelligence creating cells as von Neumann probes and infecting planets is more likely. It seems like we don’t have any way to calculate either probability, so I’m very curious what fuels his intuition for this.

I wish the interview focused more on explaining his viewpoints in layman terms instead of mowing us down with volumes of, what most of us would consider to be abstract for consumption.
