    The first topics discussed
    IS THERE A CENTRAL PROBLEM OF CONSCIOUSNESS?
    Minsky disagrees with Pinker...
    21:00 What is going on in Joan's mind?
    21:50 Minsky asserts that there is no hard problem of consciousness.
    24:00 There are lots of hard problems.
    26:00 the central problem is qualia
    30:18 Why do the philosophers pick on colour?
    32:00 Diagrams of inside Joan's mind
    33:00 two mental activities
    34:46 "the processes that we lump into consciousness involve lots of different activities"
    39:00 IS THERE something "simple, indescribable and absolute" about certain qualities?
    48:50 They want to... say that they can't imagine how anything that has an explanation... could feel pain or sorrow or anxiety... And I think this is a curious idea that is stuck in our culture, which is that: If something is hard to express, then it must be because it is so different from everything else that there's no way tl describe it.
    51:46 What is pain? Pain is a reaction of some very smart parts of your mind, to the malfunctioning of other parts of your mind.
    53:30 Why "The Emotion Machine" only mentions qualia once.
    54:40 Causal Diversity idea. If there's a phenomenon going on (e.g. being in pain), how do you explain it?

    • @cameltube-vk7el
      @cameltube-vk7el Před 2 lety

      well, not feeling the EMPATHY line.
      Another REPRESENTATION might be "your born with the capability" call it consciousness and YES and you mean growing up & the "HSA" tribe group INTERACT in service & from a core do no harm position
      YeS, experience = full E M P A T H Y
      I describe a woman having a baby, I will only be able to sympathize as a man EVER
      BUT if I was a woman that had experienced the birthing event I would be able to totally E M P A T H I Z E
      So YeS empathy goes too "HSA" group, tribe, function social proper HUMAN thing
      your last line goes into empathy maybe when you change the view and ask HOW many times have we Re-C Y C L E D and the DNA but exactly, who knows

    The idea of free will has that important to law but to ignorant people. You can punish ppl committing crime, and the reason is to protect yourself. The real question isn't "Was this meditated?" but how likely this is to repeat. And after all, if all has a cause and we don't have a choice, then even without the idea of free will, that crime was un-avoidable. Anyone has a different idea?

    • @MarianneExJohnson
      @MarianneExJohnson Před 2 lety

      Punishment and lack of free will are perfectly consistent with each other. Consider: if you're arguing that a person is nothing but a product of their environment, well, the criminal justice system can become a part of that environment. In other words, if it's all about conditioning, just think of punishment as conditioning as well.

    interesting to listen to him. as a side note, though, i suppose if i never took philosophy courses i would likely also walk away from his lecture and have acquired an impression that the philosophy department probably deserves to be on the chopping block during the next round of budget cuts. I would actually go study philosophy from philosophers, though, before drawing my own opinion about it.

    • @libaf5471
      @libaf5471 Před 2 lety +5

      It's easy to draw false impressions about a thing from someone elses interpretation of the thing. Most ideas are garbage. From that to me naturally follows that most ideas in even valid fields are garbage. That doesn't make the entire field garbage. I hate with a passion those philosophers who think they can just think about something and arrive at the truth. Someone, I can't remember who, has described philosophy as "thinking about thinking" and as this age of unreality has dawned, I can't think of anything more important than that.

    Lol what a delusional old man. He's definitely not as smart as people are pretending. He's not saying anything of value. This is more like a charity to make an old man feel important still.

      He was one of the best scientists of all time you whining child lol he's speeches and classes are kind of a waste of time true, but he never was a speaker or teacher to start with. But he is a legendary scientist and inventor. You can thank him for half the tech we have today!

    This is the issue with even high level professors on this topic, very long (bordering on rambling) lectures with no real determination of fact.

      Well, this was kind of an informal treatise of the philosophy of mind relying on his popular book (the emotion machine). This was also done when he was 83, only a couple of years before he passed away. This was not a traditional class and he surely wasn't like what when he was younger but was very articulate and much to the point.
