Tell me what you think!
I think i love intelligent dialogue..
You want him to submit/admit but he wont/cant.
perhaps Thich Naht Hanh would be a better conversation..
Fantastic back and forth man.
Im going to ask you make a get em to the greek 2 or another movie in that world. That movie. Those songs have helped me more then i could ever write in a youtube comment section. Your amazing and fantastic.
Cheers

I think Russel Brand is a remarkable human
Russel Brand looks like a guy who could've existed in any era
Anywhere from ancient Greece - now
He's a philosopher
i wonder about his ancestors
@Riina he's direct descendant of Plato
He is clearly from every era, time traveler
He's got long hair and a beard. That's all.
These two are setting the example of what people conversing with different idea's should sound like.
I think we are safe from Donny listening to this conversation.
I was just about to say. nice to hear people with different viewpoints actually having a civilised conversation from a position of mutual respect
Sleeping sheeples 💤💤
Look up street epistemology f you enjoyed that - I think Anthony Magnabosco is the current best at it, but there are many others already :)
That's because there is no urgency or real motive for either of them to change their beliefs and or trying to change/convince the other person.
Russell Brand is the only person who can use 300 words to say ask a 10 word question!
how i wish my essays sounded
Kai greene...
I still haven't figured out if that's just his schtick, or if he does that to sound more intelligent /slash, get people to understand that he actually is more intelligent than the Russel Brand of 1999-2000 they might have first heard of him.
There's no denying he's a SMART guy. But he often seems to be biting off more than he can chew, ESPECIALLY in this example. Don't try and hang with NDT, bro... just ask your goofy questions and move along.
Have you heard of women?
He takes other things into context so he doesn't get misunderstood as he conveys his points. People could learn from that example, and Neil is doing the same thing. Can I ask you to write down a question he arrives at with the words preceding it, then your shortened version? I would like to try and break down the differences.
I need two friends like this to just sit around with on the wkend and have discussions like this without anyone turning beet red...
Lol
@Captain Nivia FACTS
The problem is, my friend makes fun of me for believing in god
@@LemonGoofball you need friends that believe in compassion reguardless
I definitely agree there. I can't have a conversation with my friends without them getting red in the face. Some of the stuff I talk about rubs their religious feathers the wrong way.
I love who Russel Brand has become this last decade
Banging Katie Perry will humble a man 🤣
like hounding a nice old man to an early grave.........
a confused hippie messiah type figure with a severe attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and delusions of grandeur?
@@purefoldnz3070 Confused isn´t Russell. He´s like Michael Moore, and confused is the ideological reductionist view that you spew. Not quite able to avoid type stereotyping classifications or own your own control-oriented assumptions, so you project like a rookie Freudian analyst. Don´t loosen your tie except to down some hootch, clearly. Better check your 2005 World Bank-UNEP Ecosystem Assessment, since the IPCC reports obviously trigger more denialism in your DSM circuits. Try a little scholarly research about Ralph Nader to fry your martini sucking when you can.
@@robinhoodstfrancis No what I wrote was pretty accurate lol. Hippy messiah figure with delusions of grandeur. Sums up Russell Brand pretty well.
Science and Spirituality are just two ends of the same stick
One looks inwards for answers, the other looks outwards.
In the middle is the mind.
S P No.
😯👍🏼
And the other difference is science actually works.
@@chromaxetian496 Yes, and the other explores the mind. Different functions.
@@chromaxetian496 You heard of the 'scientific' term 'placebo effect'..? Or the atom bomb?
Only a sith deals in absolutes
Reminds me of college days sharing deep philosophical ideas with friends at 2AM. I much enjoyed watching two very articulate communicators explore topics from very different perspectives without judgement , condemnation, or name calling. The world could use a lot more of this.
Neil Degrasse Tyson keeps blowing my mind. He said something once about how our need to convert all of our thoughts into languages actually imposes limits on the ideas we are able to have. Something like that not quoting verbatim but anyway it certainly got me thinking.
You think so. How else are we gonna communicate thoughts. Also you can have infinite combination with words so you can describe everything
@@enviouslawn1665 I think you're confusing infinite with finite there ;p We don't have infinite amount of words, therefor you won't get an infinite amount of combinations. Also, you cannot use any word next to another. Which also lowers the combination. On top of that, we even lack words. We just don't know it yet. This is why language is an ever evolving thing. Language does limit your thoughts, because you think in them.
If you want to blow your mind listen to Terence Mckenna.
He's right, there are words and phrases that represents emotions that other languages describes that we cant and vice versa. There are emotions i feel and images that I see in my dreams that I couldn't even attempt to explain using the words that I have at my disposal. Search people trying to describe their trips on salvia or dmt.
a lot of people claim that drawing (but likely art in general) helps you see the world in new ways. da vinci is a good example of this for sure
Never thought I'd see these two together
Malik Mclean that's what I love about Russell. He allows equal time to those that think differently. Gives opportunity to those with different views to speak their minds. All without disruptive arguments trying to shove opinions down anyones throat. 🤗
Why did you think it was unusual? Russell is not the antithesis of Tyson.
BUT WHO ARE THEY ON THEIR TEA HALF HOUR, NEVER HEARD OF THEM !!!!.
@@lizardas But Tyson is the antithesis of Russell. He treats science like a religion, while constantly degrading philosophy and thinking religion is the source of tribalism rather than a necessary precursor to science. In other words he "knows" a lot of things, but doesn't really think about a lot of things.
@@Bisquick he's a child of the Matrix. The earth is flat ... Science is a religion ... Medicine is poison
Wow. This does remind me of a quote: there are known knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns
But none of it is unknowable!
That's an amazing quote though
you forgot, Unknown knowns
@nutflixx knowception
@@BeauInGrace that doesn't make sense.
no, known unknowns, things you know that you don't know. unknown knowns is a different matter
The 2% idea completely changed my thinking regarding life on other planets!! I loved this open discussion. Thank you Russell!
We might not get it but AI will.
But why only stop at 2%?

Everything inside consciousness nothing is outside
"The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of existence." -Nikola Tesla
Science studies non physical stuff all the time. We just keep not finding any evidence for anything. As a linguist, I see brains doing brain things. All the time. Including praying, meditating, singing, calculating, etc. and there is no evidence that love has any different effect on the brain.
There is evidence for, say, meditation. It works. It a actually effects the active brain, in such a way that we can see grown of the hippocampus, and can see a change in brain wave function. So now, the effects of meditation are beginning to be known, and its moving out of the woo place.
We study anything people say they think exists. Ghosts, esp, cpsuperconciousness.
Those that are real, we might be able to describe.
So Tesla, in his own state to, is being deliberately biased. Science does exactly what he claims science should do.
Tanya Nguyen modern science is a cult nothing is factual or true,it’s all theories which are mostly know debunked yet still get taught in schools,colleges and universities.
It’s pretty sad
Ladles of gravy - I don’t believe in blanket, “trust me” statements. Please list some of these theories which have been debunked in moder science, andwho did the debunking.
Evolution? Atomic theory? Star formation? Germ theory? Particle theory? Thermodynamics? Fluid dynamics? Gravity? Relativity? Radiation theory?

I’d love to see Russell Brand and Eckhart Tolle
Yaaaaasaaas!
It would be an epic struggle between unbridled thought and motion vs. unwavering power stares and low-talking... I'd pay big money to see that!
I think there is a video on this, I know Russell has great respect for Eckhart Tolle & has quoted him & nods to him as a catalyst for his spiritual metamorphosis
yeah man. they are like chalk and cheese but it would be interesting
Yes
His words spill out as quickly as his brain formulates them. I'm jealous. My words just don't come that quickly. I have the thoughts, but I can't speak that quickly. It's a gift. And he's poetical and lyrical to boot.
I was gunna say the same thing. Its incredible.
I think it is because he is in peace. There were little moments in my life were i felt so in peace that my thoughts and my conclusions could come out easily.
That is my theory.
I noticed it especially in this one too. I’m getting the feeling that it’s about trust. You just trust that the words falling out will make sense, seems as if from a state of no-mind. Awesome
Smoke some weed
practice
Watching and listening to these two brilliant men felt like a nature hike for my spirit. This was really refreshing and healing to MY conciousness. Thank you.
Sell your tv
You will feel free
Just realize that they are not all that brilliant. There might be a 100K people smarter than these two. They are unique in the way that they can make science understandable to high school graduates. THAT is their redeeming value.
Thank you for making this available through my Podcast. I actually really enjoyed the experience of being present, safe and not feeling pressured to contribute. It was emotionally satisfying, like I was listening to a live broadcast
I love how he gets people on who think differently. It makes for enlightening conversation
When heart and brain have a conversation
@david holdsworth aff that buckie bro it's no good fr ye
When two puppets exchange their rotten nails, JUST for the herd
@david holdsworth Praise the sun-Skyrim
david holdsworth yeah man people don’t seem to realise all the information is out there on the internet, ignore all these scientists and well educated people who’ve spent their entire lives studying the universe we live in, just watch a conspiracy video on CZcams and you’ll see the truth. Yeah gravity is a myth we are held to the earth by the arms of invisible aliens who grab each one of us at birth and keep us on the ground. Australia doesn’t exist, the earth is flat, the royal family are lizard people, 9/11 was done by the illuminati lizards and the space wizard who rules us all is laughing at you fools who believe the earth could possibly be round. Wake up people this is a simulation.
I married my wife listening wholly to my heart with little use of brain.
"I can measure things your body doesn't even know is going on in front of you right now."
Boom!
The body wouldn't know. Cleverly worded statement.
Your “life without drugs” essay shook me when I read it in 2013. I remember sharing it with certain people in my life that also benefited from your effort in writing it. So Beautifully written. You articulated something so many have failed at. It was perfect. Honest. Thoughtful. You surprised me and I’ve been a fan since. NDT is one of my hero’s. Many more science educators out there killing it....Brian Green, Brian Cox, StarTalk, spacetime from PBS on CZcams, Bill Nye, etc...you get the point😊
Without A Doubt Articulated Genius,I Love Learning From Someone Who Doesn't Profess To Know Everything ⁉️
Tyson is learning to listen without interrupting. I think that Joe rogan interview made a difference
what interview
He was just high there, it's just how it works for him.
Neil is the interviewer here, so it's natural he listens more. The interviewer is interrupted, not the interviewee. After all the interviewee is who we all came to see so he's allowed to talk as much as he wants up to and beyond the point of interruption. Still following me?
Paul Freedman no
@@exister4959 gud :)
I absolutely LOVE this train of idealism, science, passionate, yet understanding debate. Two people, whom I consider highly intelligent, just having a plain discussion of things known, and sometimes not known but felt....
They're actually listening to one another and using their logic and reason....and sometimes experience beyond understanding to attempt to gain "KNOWLEDGE" and "TRUTH"....
Nothing gets better than this!!!!!
If only political debates had this passion, this goal.....an attempt to discern truth and understanding....for the betterment of mankind (womankind)……
Perhaps the best thing about this and the other video I just watched is their conscious ability to try and remove their biases in order to reach further for the truth...
Once again.....this type of interaction.....this type of journey....
It doesn't get better than this....
We NEED more of this.....
Shawn Chamberlain 🔥💯🔥
Totally agree. If you have any videos you'd recommend to someone who found this enlightening, please share! One love
Is it possible to say humankind or humanity? Because I want to avoid these bias towards man in language as well?
@@Sjahko_ Y'know the word man is in the word woman, right? You know the world male is in the word female too, right? Stop focusing on the letter and focus on the meaning. Mankind refers to the huMAN race: both sexes.
I Couldn't Of Put It Better Myself 🙏🌟
Russell and Neil please PLEASE create an animated series called "Timmy the Alien"
?
I can watch these two have conversations all day
Finally someone who lets his guests speak
Cough Rogan! Cough :)
Chris Hardwick does that as well, even 'more', really amazing podcasts as well
Melvin van Galen
Finally you found someone is a more honest statement 🤜
@islanti Joe is about dumb as rocks tho let's be honest lol
Refreshing isn’t it! I think it’s rooted to his 12 step work (getting out of selfish mindsets) and meditation (slowing down reactivity), but maybe he always had a knack for listening! -love RB!
Another great interviewer is Lewis Howes - check out the school of greatness podcast.
This is the best NDG interview I’ve seen - he was really lucid and on his game in this one. Credit to Russell for pushing him on some of those ideas and getting him to open up. Well done Rusty!
I agree, I really liked him on this one.
Life as we know it did you even listen to him here? That’s not at all what he’s saying. Tyson is really open-minded. I’ve heard many interviews of Neil entertaining the likes of aliens, time travel, even simulation theory. He just doesn’t jump to conclusions, he’s a cool dude though.
Stephen Colbert interview is good too. This was before SC sold out.
@Life as we know it He is a science educator, NDT never claimed to be a scientist that actively publishes research papers. Most scientists are introverted and don't want to communicate their research publicly, which is why educators like NDT are important.
@@formulaintuition8756
Agreed
Let’s just agree that Russel Brand and Neil DeGrasse Tyson has different view of unknown.
Excellent podcast. I knew very little of Russell and in a sense couldn't have cared if I did. But this conversation changed that. I now have a decent level of respect for him, his intellect & his compassionate generosity. Thanks to you both
Tyson is being awfully respectful for something he doesn't believe at all.
Actually, he´s just showing showing the sweet side of arrogance and denialism in Scientism. Hey, ha, ha, graviity has just 4 books. Not like that woo "consciiousness" stuff. Yeah, "spiritual," it means different things tp everybody. Uh, and what about Psychology and Comparative Religion, or the Philosophy of Religion? The guy knows what he wants to do, but he doesn´t have a clue who knows a lot more than he does.
@@robinhoodstfrancis nahh u reaaching
@@robinhoodstfrancis you misunderstood him, especially on his point about consciousness. They both were talking about consciousness on a scientific level, Russel made the point that SCIENTISTS haven't figured it out yet, and Neil thoroughly backed up that point. Neil wasn't criticising or dismissing the spiritual viewpoint of consciousness at all, he was literally criticizing science's lack of advancement in that particular field. OP was right, Neil was awfully respectful and as someone who loves science as much as spirituality that made me happy
@@tjr6900 Nahh. I´m telling it like it is. You bending down to science like a street kid at a car store window.
@@MrFlameRad Neil was respectful? Because he´s a polished showman and not overtly rabid like Dawkins in this exchange with Brand? . You love spirituality and science? I have loved them for decades, and have been studying the likes of Templeton prize winners so that now I have already developed an understanding worthy of SJ Gould´s "Magesteria" and F Capra´s General System´s Theory. You like Tyson´s likeable style, and want to believe that he wouldn´t say something poorly informed and crassly uninformed? His reducing spirituality to "scientific knowledge" in this exchange is naive, and a quick search turns up confirmation of his deeper Scientism. He has said things like, "If you believe the Christian story of Jesus, you can´t call Scientology crazy" and "When I look at the universe and all the ways the universe wants to kill us, I find it hard to reconcile that with statements of beneficence." So you know, "Crazy" is not an adequate term for Jesus, nor is it discreetly made for careful analysis of much relevant information about anything like shamanic and religious experience. "Wants to kill us" personifies the Universe non-scientifically, and shows Tyson to be functionally illiterate in historical sociology, since Science itself has arisen through elements of that "beneficence" embodied in Jesus´ life, mission, and message. Tyson is a showman and Scientism ideologue who has no appropriate knowledge of even the scientifically measured benefits of meditation. As for you, who "loves science and spirituality," your "love" is not quite that well-informed, you need to know. Here´s a good clue for your path, Science needs to be understood as a form of Philosophy, Religion needs to be understood more widely through Philosophy, General Systems Theory puts all forms of modern Philosophy in perspective, and Religion´s underlying spirituality and basis for modern Philosophy more widely laid out. That´s what I can do. You try to make sense of that instead of sucking up to celebrity gossip opinionators abusing, misusing, and confusing their credentials and involvement with Science as if Astronomy were Divine Love itself.
I don’t think that people realize how available, and valuable Noam Chomsky is, and I think that you, Russell Brand, could introduce him ( and all of his work) to a new audience. We’re so fortunate in that he is still with us at age ninety. He’s refreshingly frank about the value of love and his own interpersonal life. Furthermore, he is a scientist. Thanks ❤️
Indeed. Perfect fit for both science and love.

Wonderful crossover. Two great minds,wouldn't have expected to see this. its so great to see a spritual person and a scientist like these two have a civil discussion about such a complex topic.

Jacob Caruana don’t even bother mate, I get what you are saying
@@mpuondak421 worth a try lol
I agree wholeheartedly. Although I definitely think more like Tyson I still think Russell is a great interviewer.
I love this conversation. Subconscious is the bridge that will unite these two realms, that touches the known and the unknown.
🎯🎯🎯
This was a perfect interview both views elegantly put without interruption from the other person. 👍
I feel like they were having two different conversations lol
Tyson subliminaly was avoiding Russels question because he is wrong to proclaim that humans have the capacity to know everything that is to know. We are a product of reality and we are bound by rules, limited by senses...
Sofian Daoudi good observation! Got me questioning tyson🤔
That one part especially where NDGT was talking about senses and how if someone were to tell him that they had ESP and he would one up them because he had scientific sensors capable if 12 different senses. How does that even compare? Like if someone were to accurately and demonstrably predicted the immediate future then that would disqualify a lot of scientific work. Then it would be difficult to like NDGT actively circumvent the glaring question of how to explain the unnatural using natural laws.
Sofian Daoudi he didn’t say that. He said he wasn’t convinced humans couldn’t figure everything out. Not the same thing.
Ephraim Kelemu what exactly do you mean by the unnatural? Do you mean it like artificial? As in something humans make? Or do you mean something that is not a part of the natural world? Would a concept be something you would consider unnatural?
this keanu reves bro knows how to have a conversation and understand it. he is far better than most tv hosts who get lost after 2 sentences

he is , without doubt, a complete shill - spreading misinformation, a traitor to humanity

DjRenect Overstated.
Chris Dragotta if you don’t agree with an opinion its a common custom to counter a statement with an argument to back yours.
Doesn't he use this ( practically verbatim) pitch in most of his podcast discussions nowadays. (Talking bout Neil)
Neil: The human senses are demonstrably ill-equipped to take measure of the totality of the physical universe
Buddha: Hold my rice pudding
moonchart human beings in general can’t that’s why most ppl are livestock
Hahah true
Honestly, I didn't think much of you when all I knew was your movies. After some time and seeing interviews with you, I learned how you were much more than I ever thought and quite an intelligent man. I have for some time now love seeing you speak. It is always so revealing and thought-provoking. Thank you for this video.
I loved that bit at the end when Neil was talking about the possibility of a being whose simplest thoughts would easily transcend our most complex ones. Truly amazing to try and think about, and humbling.
By far my favorite Tyson interview to date. You are an amazing host and just gained a huge fan. Thanks for that!
Thinking the exact same thing while watching this..
This is amazing. Two of the most open minded folks representing the two different brain hemispheres (so to speak) coming together to take us to the next paradigm. This discourse is a must if we are to have a constructive and liberating future.
Lol. Neil is renowned as one of the most close minded and ideological media personalities
Our awareness is the evidence. The only thing eternal is our awareness.
"Declaring something is, in principle, unknowable...in the history of what it is to know stuff...Does not support the contention that there are things that are unknowable." BOOM. Exactly.

I hope this answers your question.
Knowing and not knowing is a spiritual state and that I can know this is awareness of consciousness.
Spirituality is based on an individual realization you can't sell it nor buy it,its soul purpose is elevating one to his/her higher self

Fucking accurate
Honestly this is quite literally the best of both worlds.
to me at least!
i wish these two would continue to have more 'conversations' of this caliber to feed our brains :D
Russel Brand is a whole lot smarter than most of us. He just hides it mostly with his dark humor.
This was great, Russell, thank you sharing something that is truly of value. Many great nuggets of wisdom in this one sitting.
I feel like Russel Brand’s videos are the next piece in my beautiful path I have been on and am on. I have been avoiding getting too into Russel because I wasn’t ready, I am ready!!!

@@wendylady69 So you believe that there is another universe beyond our physical universe that you are totally immersed in? Is that a part of a multiverse? How do you know this?
Where can I watch the whole conversation?
Ah, Russell, you are speaking in the quantum. We know something is there, we know our reality may not be the same there but how does that affect us in this reality is the question
In 'this' reality, we are constantly plagued by the questions of why and how... why does the universe exist? Why and how did it come to be? What is consciousness and why and how does it arise? Those are real questions that we all have, each of us, within our very real, tangible lives as humans. And so it's at the very basis of 'this' reality if, if you'd like to call it that... it's a gnawing question (perhaps present in anything that is self conscious) that in many ways defines us. And traditional 'science' can be very dismissive of this question...
Russell you managed to get Neil Degrasse Tyson to say things off of the top of his head, in the moment :) not many people seem to be able to do that! Just a thought!
It's the 'jesus' hands
The unknown is truly what drives our species forward. As human we've always asked; why, what, how, when and where.
Eremon1 sometimes it drive society into madness for this that question the physicality of our universe
We call the answers to these questions 'knowledge'. For example the question 'WHY? ' . The answer is some cause that happened in the past i.e the cause and the effect. The answer to the effect is the cause. So our knowledge is based on cause and effect which is of course the product of our perception of time i.e past, present and future. So if there exists something beyond our perception of time, then that cannot be reduced to knowledge coz of the above stated reasoning. So it must be a state with out a question and without an answer.
The fact that our senses, taste, touch, smell, sight, I'm not adequate must be the best argument I've heard so far for the experimentation of DMT
im confused. Are you saying DMT gives you extra senses?

A conversation I would sit and listen to for hours. Without being bored in the slightest!
Isn’t it strange that our consciousness can understand so much of the universe yet seems to be incapable of understanding itself.
Not really, its kind of like how an animal can understand the world around it ,but if it looks into a mirror it has no idea that its looking at itself
Wow you really think we understand the universe?? 90% of your "accepted model" of the universe is based on theoretical physics. And when observations don't match the theory they simply change the formula. Smh

Hey Russell. Thanks for this video, (and for your videos and talks on recovery from addiction). We need more conversationals such as this one. I have at least one question I'd love to ask experts in science, medicine, spirituality, etc. I would love to ask him about the placebo effect in healing and how that may relate to mind-body connection, and then maybe later what that implies about mind and matter. If you speak with him again, perhaps you can ask that? Thank you either way. ❤
We're all learning! Love each other in the process :)
Im listening of this from lockdown for the first time......damn this is good stuff!
I’d love to hear what a “gut feeling” is/means? Scientifically and spritually
This is the bacterial biology of your body instigating a control over your mind. Your living ego from lives before lived to guide your spirit.
Well it's common knowledge among scientists now that consciousness is best understood as embodied and that there are literally neurons in your gut. Reason, rationality and judgement are not disembodied and abstract but based in feelings and the body. And to be fair, ancient spiritual traditions via things like meditation, breathing exercises, yoga, appear to have known this for a long time.
The inner Cheshire Cat' singing Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh my to Dorothy. lol
The neurons in your gut. It's a second brain
Culmination of innumerable minute empirical observations that suggest a course of action? Brain making stuff up? Cool thing is - we don't know!!!
Damn neil!.. love that guy.. another shift in perspective for me once again..
Theres no way to confirm reality that doesnt mean we are living in a big dream we just have to realize that facts are not the same thing as truth
I have a great book " Quantum Questions" and it had alot of the great physicists of the time writing about the relevance of quantum physics to spiritual life or reality , einstien , bohr, schrodenger etc etc
He said that the fact we have scientific instruments let us transcend the 5 senses but every single scientist is still experiencing the information from the instruments through their 5 senses...so Russell brands point still stands
As usual, Neil is speaking as people say these days, "facts." He is very good at touching on and explaining very specific inquiries with entertaining precision. The 2% perspective is magnificent. I loved this interview. I certainly try to keep in the realm of the unknown or at least as close to the edge of it as I can manage. Which spiritually, I refer to as the Tao, borrowing from Taoist philosophies. The realm of knowledge is so vast that there is always something unknowable to be known should you be looking. Interestingly enough this is the first time Neil has said something I disagree with. I think without those 5 senses to help fuel our imaginations we would not have the instruments that allow us to prove the theories of the micro and macro scales of the universe. Observations start and begin with them. We need eyes to see the cosmos. Without those senses we would be like Helen Keller trying to teach Helen Keller. So I think the senses play the most important role in making the unknown knowable. I didn't need a telescope or knowledge of known theories to inform my beliefs about the cosmos such as gravitional waves etc. I just needed to look at the ocean and hear blackholes exist. What I am trying to say is I don't think you can have true knowledge without understanding. Without our feelings/senses we would indeed be limited in our capacity for understanding.
Very well described. It is not the eye that sees, it is the visual brain region that receives the seen objects via nerves to build a new neural network, incorporating the seen objects into the existing knowledge. Which creates a mental map of known things, constantly integrating new pieces of the puzzle. Similarly, not the ears hear the sounds, it’s the brain that interprets the sounds,on the basis of what it knows about sounds. This is true for all physical senses. The brain can only make sense of what it knows already and construct new knowledge only by putting it together with what is already familiar. This is missing in the conversation, we cannot know what is not familiar to our brains and what our senses cannot make sense of. We would literally not sense it even if we encountered it each day because it would not be processed by the brain.
How do we know UV light exists even if we don’t see it? Because we could develop instruments that translate light waves into visual scales to understand it. We constantly need to develop things that can translate phenomenons into sth we can perceive with our 5 senses, otherwise we cannot handle them. This is why constructivism has already spread across all disciplines including neuroscience. Scientists in other spheres have long recognized that we cannot know the external world because our brains constantly translate all perception into some of the 5 senses so we can create a mental representation in our brains. It’s only in the sphere of natural sciences that people don’t understand it yet. They interact with matter, constantly missing to acknowledge that matter is always interpreted by the brain, which is limited by its senses and which needs to interpret everything on the basis of how it’s built. That’s why epistemology is the min important science of all, not physics, not maths or anything, it’s epistemology. Because it explains the limitations of our mental capacities and human perception, which are the base for scientific activity. If human perception is limited, nothing we ever measure can be total. And this is the reason another species can be 2%. BECAUSE our perception is totally limited by our brains.
I believe that what he Niel was saying here was that our sense on their own naked value could not make sense of the complex universe on their own. They have to be built on, refined, and adapted through engineering and ingenuity in order to gain a deeper understanding altogether. I don't think he was dismissing the 5 senses entirely
Two very different perspectives on life, the universe and everything. Thank you for this.
A rather enlightening and respectful conversation between 2 guys who agree to disagree and yet both agree they are searching, Beautiful stuff
I believe there's room for both science and spirituality in our lives, one can help describe the other.
how?
@@kabistroskeptica6258 First you would have to define what spirituality is. Believing everything is connected is a spiritual view to some and ecosystems are literally connections, there you have points of view merging from different sources.
@@veganrican606 and to some people it has to do with souls and spirits which is not at all compatible with science. guess it depends on the definition.
@@kabistroskeptica6258 consciousness isn't compatible with science yet they acknowledge it. I don't get it .. this consciousness i think is connected to the dimension of this world and the spirit world. Spirituality makes sense and so does science.
I don’t know but I couldn’t understand What russell was trying to make sense of
Word salad with no substance.
@@bendagostino2217 the dude is a fucking millionaire. I’d imagine he doesn’t speak randomly.
Exactly how I pictured your podcast only with me on instead of Neil. 😂 we appreciate you Russel!
Great podcast love you both haven’t meet you in person but got an hour with Neil at the Family Guys Christmas party a few years ago and will never forget his generosity and brilliance.
I find Russell's ideals, ideas and train of thoughts far out way joe rogan. "Mych love joe" degrasi is treating this conversation with way more respect than he has with Joe
Terrence Howard needs to be at this table.
The 2 sides of my mind - the spiritual believer and the science believer - are loving this back and forth . So fascinating and thought provoking
love these kind of discussions Russell engages in, I have 110% faith in science, 0% in religion, but I'm not an atheist, and neither is Neal, Nikola Tesla once said when you think of the universe, think energy, frequency, and vibration, but he didn't mention mathematics, everything seems to be guided by mathematics, I would like to meet this mathematician
Those are all aspects of mathematics.
@@daysundagod223 exactly!
LOVE IT !!!! Tyson is calm, this is the side I love of Tyson. Thanks Joe Rogan!
Russel talk about to Spiritualism with Richard Dawkins, that would be more interesting, since you will be speaking to a hard Materialism based evolutionary biologist.
I am surprised materialism is still a thing .
I'm surprised we still have isms...
abhishek k j materialism is human evolution. Without it, we’d never have evolved beyond crude tools.
Just the other day Richard Dawkins told Joe Rogan that consciousness doesn't exist after death because the brain decays. What kind of stupidity is this .
mek jhon hes right, the neurons in your brain stop firing and everything that makes you “you” vanished into nothingness. Just like what it was like before you were born.
What an amazing video. Thank you. I love Neil but keep in mind not all physicists share his views on spirituality. It's interesting to hear their perspective however I appreciate when I see either a Doctor or scientist who say, died, were brought back who changed their outlook express themselves.
Really enjoyed two very different and similar minds interacting.. I'd like to see more of you both on a longer podcast 🙏
Love 2 people like this getting together and having a good honest chat.
The Church of The Unknown drives us to tomorrow.

There's no tomorrow or yesterday - only now.

Wow this was so amazing. Have more like these Russel
Ran into this purely accident and got hooked...
When it comes down to it... even if we're just a computer riding a dog - spiritualism is necessary to function, and useful (and fun) to understand yourself. If we are that computer, spiritualism is Task Manager. ^_^
@Q Dodge Empty assertions.
@Q Dodge “All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”
I think we could make great intellectual progress will be made when the obsession with power/control is gone.
If only Neil was this laid back when he was on Rogan.
I have only just started to hear Neil deGrasse Tyson talk about things and I am addicted.
