Edelman, Consciousness Revolutions
How it is that we share some aspects of consciousness with bacteria? How can consciousness arise in artificial machines? And what does consciousness have to do with our survival in the face of the unfolding climate catastrophe? These, and many other fundamental questions about consciousness are explored in Cornell professor of psychology Shimon Edelman’s new book “The Consciousness Revolutions: From Amoeba Awareness to Human Emancipation” (Springer Nature, 2023).
In a Chats in the Stacks book talk presented at Mann Library in April 2024 Edelman will discuss how consciousness is fundamentally a kind of computation and how through the understanding of human consciousness we can develop better insights into the nature of our lived experience, our problems, our social dynamics, and our shared future.

    Estrangement is catastrophic for a mother most of the time. I developed a condition called Tokotsubo Syndrome, also known as "broken heart disease." It's a cardiomyopathy caused by stress and sorrow.

    Good interview, thanks for keeping it up. Some of my adult children cut me out of their life, with the trigger being my refusal to take the GMO jab for Covid. I relied on my immune system through daily exercise and diet. I never did get Covid, they did. That led to them being even angrier. I presented facts and I was called a conspiracy theorist. Facts still do not matter. Unfortunately, they refuse to engage in any Family Counseling or Conflict management. THey believe they are setting a " Healthy " boundary by cutting me out of their life. Advise from a therapist. There is no abuse, simply life style and individualist differences. They simply cannot perceive that they are responsible for their own feelings, and no one can make them " feel" anything. The Blame becomes a motivation to keep distancing. I wonder if there is any way to work around or through this " Blame Motivation"? I have come to a peace with this cut off and everyday I still have fear for them, and my grandchildren being raised in this environment. I do not have much hope for them having any realization or breakthrough, because of the insolation that have put into place. Probably a new cultural theme that supports this.

    Dr. Pillermers work and his ideas are techniques for family situations that are salvageable, not people who had sadistic outright villainous families of origin. If your situation is insolveable not one single person would want you to go back for more abuse. However many people have workable issues in their families of orgin so if this lecture is not for you leave, no one expects you to listen to a lecture that you can not use for your situation. Other people working on their issues for themselves and their families is valid. It's terribly sad some people will never have sane healthy relatives who change for the better,but this attitude that some estranged adults believe all parents are as bad as their parents is what is getting push back.

    Many years ago was advised by someone older, with much life experience; that the more children one has, the greater the chance that in future - at any given time - there will be some of them who are not angry about something one had said or done 😅 Another elder testified how the biggest mistake he had made while raising his children, had been to do too much for them. His 30 year old offspring could not yet stand on their own feet. After him continually supporting them so well, they could not handle challenges and problems on their own. It is indeed a blessing to be granted the privilege to raise children, yet one should be diligent in preparing them to individuate and become independent, and as soon as they are ready, one should be quick to release them towards finding their own way in life.

      Sometimes it’s just that simple. Our kids grow up and personalities don’t always work together as adults. As a parent whose daughter cut me off over 3 years ago, it still hurts and i look for answers and I find myself trying to explain that I loved my kids. I can’t help but picture that one guy from the movie “Office Space” who is realizing he is pretty useless, screaming “I’m a people person!”

    In the questions section, somebody asked if the honey bees are interfering with the other bees. Don't think they do. Honey bees have what is called " flower constancy", when they find a good food source, they focus on that and keep going back untill it's exhausted. Solitary bees don't have that, they visit what ever flower they find

    I'm so glad I found this, thank you! I hope you are well! I just started a small (10 trees) apple orchard using all interesting cultivars, several of them cider apples. But I ran into a pollination issue, being a newb. In fixing the issue I ran into the Frequin Rouge for a candidate pollinator for my Kingston Black. I haven't been able to sort out the two names of Binet and Frequin, nor the diploid, triploid issues, which the commercial nurseries have a little issue with on this particular apple. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Love my Kingston Black!! ;-)

    Reconciliation may be okay for some situations, but in our case, we initiated the estrangement and set specific standards for any reconciliation. Realistically, we knew that our simple demands would never be met. I still suffered years of nightmares in which they tried to get back into my life and reduce me to the little role I had to play in the dysfunctional family dynamic. At least by day I can revel in my freedom.

    Estrangement is the result of living INVALIDATED. Your list of pathways, I believe to simply be the final straw. In estranged relationships there is one or more offenders whose deflection, projection, and slander are believed and repeated by everyone and a truthteller who nobody believes. So, the truthteller goes away and the rest of the family pretends that those who commit crimes against others have the traits (stolen from) the truthteller. The truthteller is considered "bad." It's based on false (projected) identifies, is illogical and insane, but really is just that simple. We endure it for as long as we can take it. It's a lifelong role that will never change. What nobody notices during inheritance quarrels is that NONE of the culprit personalities simply abide by respecting the wishes of the deceased. They are rewarded for disrespecting their deceased loved one, while simultaneously painting us black. Your examples show narcissistic elements. No narcissist is every going to be honest and open during therapy (the reason we give up). in the mother/son video, she starts off with narcissistic statements. She lists items that are exterior (food, good school - no mention of fond memories, love or acceptance.) She then invalidates their reality. An authentic person would be soul searching. It's obvious to those of us who have endured it that the son is the invalidated truthteller and the mother is living the false persona. Agreed we can be the bigger person, but every time we do, they attack us again and then play victim. it's a perpetual phenomenon that is frustrating. We don't bring up the past, they do. The Estranged person is Exiled basically, then the narcs go into therapy and call the Estranged person a "liar" - again invalidating us. The need to assign blame is at the core of every narcissist. WE aren't blaming, we are responding to being blamed. We try one more chance over and over and every time they make us the bad guy. We are forced to accept that they will never see us for who we are, or simply get out from in front of the firing range. 🙂
