- Roger Scruton gives a talk on Human Nature at Princeton University back in 2012. This talk was the first of three talks in this series which was given as part of the James Madison Program.

Rest Well Sir Scruton 🎩🤲🏽 🇬🇧
Thank you, Philosophy overdose, for bringing me this 😊
What a treat. Thank you.
So cohesive over such a large area! Thank you!
a shame i didn’t discover sir scruton until after he passed. nevertheless his philosophy lives on.
A wonderful talk
I believe nature is just super.
Vero good to ser Scruton here
My life is dedicated towards understanding the conditions within which the Apple tree must blossom...
To be or not to be, that's the question 🤔
Underrated comment
Though the line is "...that is the question" not "that's"

George awkwardly shoehorning himself into the Q and A was to no great effect other than comedy.
In quantum physics, subatomic particles (over 100 of them) behave erotically. from my life experience the same can be said about human behavior.
(just to give you an example -“why my second wife married me?”
After 20 years, I have no idea.
🤷♀️ ).
Universe, as we know it, is not an item, is not a thing, it’s not an object.
Universe is a perpetual process, most likely mathematical structure.
Needless to say, every atom I am made out of behaves, or it is (the atom) made out of vibrations, behaving erratically.

@@tomasomaonaigh7659 I want my page with 350,000 followers from September 21 back and I want explanation why you destroyed my page I also want my badge with 60,000 followers stolen by a hawk or in January 2022 and I also want explanations call COM you didn’t talk to me And I want my money for royalties for people using my voice for their videos. I am #Bogoslowsky , a.k.a. immortal #king Gilgamesh.
@@tomasomaonaigh7659 “Spiritual reincarnation” is a complicated term. I will explain the #origins. There is a #idea #concept of a -“Human child has the wisdom of the universe. Everything there is to know this child knows”. Today we know in #biology #behavioralgenetics (professor #RobertSapolsky Stamford) it’s quite different because the child
Hears parents conversations and he’s capable of registering emotions. By the time child is born, it is predisposed to fit in this particular environment. During #education and continuous process of existence, human assembles #knowledge information believes, engages in harmful activities, and all the experiences of life confuse more and more, the true #nature of human mind/consciousness, which is:…”emptiness, void nothingness.
To find your/a spiritual core human needs to work very hard, for many years to find the #real #true essence of universal absolutes. Universal absolutes are expressed in the science of #mathematics. All other #science is speculative and changes as new discoveries are made.
I encourage my followers to engage on the long lifelong process of #spiritual reincarnation, a.k.a. finding #infinite #love and unity . Symptoms of divined person a.k.a. #Buddha are simple, infinitely forgiving, #compassionate, engaging, blubbery, and yet someone who is counting every minute of your time/his time, and every word he says. #Bogoslowsky 🦁🤴
Sure we humans behave erotically but I believe subatomic particles don't have enough libido for that
(ik you meant erratically sorry for picking on you xD)
You can't kill a Libyan - there's no such thing! You can't invade Syria, there's no such country! I think that even Scruton might not like the endpoint of that train of thought.
Plus, he borrows shamelessly from Levinas, but can't resist some snide little slur. I don't know how much time Levinas spent in cafés, but he did spend rather a long time as a prisoner of war in a German camp. He himself pointed out that only his French uniform saved him from the Shoah. But, Scruton has... complicated ideas on these subjects...
Correct. The Libya and Syria comments are particularly heinous in retrospect, and should've been in 2012 (they were to me, anyway). A post hoc justification of reducing a country with one of the highest living standards in the region to the "Western civility" of open air slave markets. And his notion of Islam excluding nationalism was predictably historically illiterate. This was the pinnacle of the New Atheism movement, however (or the push to market neoconservatism to millennials), and some allowances need to be made for delicate liberal sensibilities... Some count for more than one to Sir Roger!
Wait, wait wait someone referring to a gospel of Saint John is probably delusional thinker
I recommend lectures by Robert Sapolsky Stanford University, talking about behavioral genetics. There’s also a book called nature versus nurture, and it explains influence of DNA on individuals behavior.
About cultural references, such as cannibalism and worshiping the dead as Christianity emphasizes have been developed since the beginning of agriculture a.k.a. 12,000 years ago more or less
Education as power
Education gives you more choice
Learn diversity of sciences and draw your own conclusions but when you hear someone on stage allowed public speaking in a science of psychology, call Ani other science and is making references to spiritual inheritance. Would it be Hinduism Taoism or Buddhism? I am familiar with every one of them and I can quote by heart.
Is anyone on stage supposed to share scientific opinion and stars bringing out references to Tibetan book of the dead or Egyptian book of the dead as you know the origins of all Mediterranean spirituality is the Egyptian book of the dead
I am giving you unquestionable fact
True science, mathematics, everything else is gossip and someone else’s opinion
Keep in mind that someone else might be sick in the head and talking garbage
Bogoslowsky , a.k.a. words of God, Lord descendent of great and only Genghis khan and also descendent of emperors of Byzantium and wrong and also descendent of Trojan heroes and as you know, Trojan heroes descendent from Hercules and as you know Hercules’s son of Zeus, this is why did call me immortal king in Gilgamesh now sit down and finish your sandwich
From where comes DNA?
@@tomasomaonaigh7659 I just remembered there is another HepatAssist about the universe will live in basically it goes like this
Only mathematics is absolutely true. Everything else is speculative, including physics, and chemistry.
Not to mention peoples opinions all other science, archaeology anthropology, psychology of psychiatry they are not precise science
HepatAssist is that mathematics ship processes yes mathematics existed before the beginning of the universe as to say nine is divided by three equals three is absolute true and it existed before big bag before the beginning of the universe
From quantum physics, we know subatomic particles are vibrations, hands we have string theory
In plain English atoms, the world is made out of are not items objects not things, but vibrations made out of vibrations
HepatAssist is the universe is a mathematical structure Hass to say multi dimensional net with no objects watch Survivor by plane vibrations
It is very hard to imagine since we can see with our eyes, trees, sky, river, stars, or even faraway galaxy in a telescope. It is hard to imagine block Mater and block energy also but it’s also hard to imagine gravity, although everyone feels it when a hammer falls on your toe .
We also know Einstein theory of relativity is true because without adjustment to money school milliseconds to satellite clocks, we would never have working GPS
We also know satellite like those moons Jupiter have time go slower on those moons because they are located near very big gravitational force for the same reason of the center of planet. Earth time should be very very slow and for the same reason time goes slower on the surface of the sun.
I’m bringing all of these examples just to explain how hard it is to imagine universe is made out of mathematics and nothing else
I don’t have an opinion I’m just sharing information I have a quired over the years
@@tomasomaonaigh7659 Possibly "RNA and protein worlds"?
