Incredible work. Thank you for the video!

This was a pleasant surprise, something that I think more people should be open to discussing. Thank you for taking the time to present a controversial topic with intelligence and openeness.

I generally found a healthy balance in distinguishing "trust/hope" from "dependence/vulnerability". It's how I separate "naïve/reckless" forms of trust/hope from others. Simple ex: suppose we have a worker who -- given an abundance of data gathered -- appears to be most honest. Everyone who has known her for a long time attests to her honesty. However, she suffers a debilitating chronic disease of a sort which (for all we can tell taking her word for it) frequently risks causing her to show up late to work in ways that would have been almost impossible for her to avoid. In that case, I can deeply and rationally "trust" her: in the sense of assuming anything she says and does lacks any component of deception (as I would for anyone who hasn't demonstrated a history of deception, and especially in her case as one who consistently demonstrates a history of honesty). When she shows up late three times in a row and claims she will do everything she can to avoid showing up late again, I can "trust" her word without "depending" on her. I can "hope" she shows up on time next time, and I will "trust" that she will make every effort to do so, but I will still not depend on her and leave our team vulnerable to such risk given the practical likelihood that she will still show up late again despite her best efforts. So I would trust her but I would not make plans which make it critical that she shows up on time. This is how I generally mitigate the risk/cost/vulnerability/dependency of trusting in someone or hoping for something to happen. I trust/hope it will happen, but I will not make myself critically depend on it. "Don't put all of our eggs in one basket" -- this type of mentality. After all, even someone who is both extraordinarily trustworthy and extraordinarily reliable at the same time might still get hit by a bus tomorrow.

Hi Susi, this is Arif Khan from Delhi, India. I find this talk quite engaging and reflective. I love to engage with the utilitarian ideas of J S Mill while teaching in my classroom. However, the way you explained hedonism has provided me a different perspective to observe the thing occuring around us. Hope to see you again with more positive philosophy.

If you actually want to learn philosophy, there is only one philosopher who got it mostly right, Plato, Aristotle's teacher. Dialectic means information processing in accordance with the two parts of speech, noun and verb, relative and correlative. The computer today proves it, all information, as Plato noted, is process Dialectically, or in today's terms, binary. Imagine it this way, a verb, the relative difference is the data stream. A noun, or correlative is where the data stream is parsed, limited, contained. Or in other terms the Container and the Contained, the definition of a thing. Now, as that is a fact, why was Plato a grammar teacher? What is the only thing a mind is designed to do? Plato knew a lot more than Aristotle could even speak about correctly. And the rest of what you call philosophers were simply clueless pretenders.

That's very interesting, i am making a Faculty of Theology in Brazil (my country), but right now i am reading more of classical literature, to think less about God and more about me. And now i am seeing a new term to me: Metaethics. Can you recommend me Metaethic-cognitivism and Metaethic-emotivism's books for me? And, are you from Italy? I can understand more a italian and russian that speak english that a american or british. I will subscribe and start to follow your content.

This always struck me as such an oversimplified and impractical way to approach ethics. For example, saying violence is always and universally unethical independent of the circumstances precludes possibility for self-defense. Without any possibility for self-defense, those who embrace violence will be able to conquer everything in their path absent resistance. If we say lying/deception is always wrong, how are law enforcers supposed to succeed in catching many underground criminals without the ability to go undercover and catch them in the act? Isn't the point of ethics to maintain social order and harmony in society?

Such a profound talk

I think Virtue ethics is one of the most appealing, I remember being drawn to it and Deontology from Kant. Great explanation once again. Excited to see what's next.

Consider that we are all agents of information/belief, and when assessing value must acknowledge the uncertainty of ALL. It is ALL conjecture, it is ALL temporary.

These videos are wonderful, a good refresher and introduction. Thanks for taking the time to upload them.

I really like how you explain phenomenology from the point of view of its inception from the naive attitude to the reflective attitude and so on. It shows the way the psyche, self, ego, etc., works, or the possibilities of how it can work. It reminds me of classical or medieval accounts of the inception of intellection and the types or species of intellection. All of this gives a practical insight into the structure of consciousness and the world, of course as they are connected and in many ways seemingly inseparable. The self can be naively glued to its easy grantedness of how things are, or it can begin to expand to a more open horizon of possible understandings. It changes everything we supposedly knew once we discover this.

Excellent. Looking forward to more of these videos in the future, hopefully!

Absolutely magnificent ! Thanks ! Jan

Fantastic interview. I sympathize with you Jonathan. Coincidentally, my mother was also diagnosed with cancer on Christmas day 2022; she passed in August.

<3

also, what you spoke about the "not existing" of others given emotional dynamics at play - which I feel, when my father could no longer engage, given his deteriorating health and mind at end of life, I disengaged emotionally, and felt no grief when he had passed.

Thank you for this talk. I've needed a more scientific and analytic view of what I experience. I was misdiagnosed with borderline for years. Your analogy of radio frequencies is spot on; as well as the "over thinking" criticisms (I often respond others are under thinking). Lastly the idea that even positive experiences are overwhelming.

I’m being attacked by these technologies.targeted and abused and harassed

Love, and all it's sub categories (romantic, fraternal, platonic etc.) gets my vote for meaning as happiness and contentment flow from it. Side note: a wider audience could be had by ditching the pronouns.

Arrogant tool

He would have made a horrible used car salesman as well for himself

Why the Hell would she ask about distributive justice? WTF for? No one in their right friggen mind would want this crap. This might be the future, but we're already in insanity mode. These godless bastards are just going for more insanity. If there were no huge money and fame, power and superiority involved, it wouldn't be happening.

Interesting insights, Michael Brannigan. I will Share this on other professional social media as this is useful in considering medium-long term solutions for the topical issue of resource requirements in social care. #carebots

This man is Anti-human, and Anti-American, helping the communist to transform the DNA of the human species. There is something seriously wrong with these pole. Very dangerous to humanity!

How do I contact Dr. G

It's becoming clear that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding. By this I mean, can any particular theory be used to create a human adult level conscious machine. My bet is on the late Gerald Edelman's Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection. The lead group in robotics based on this theory is the Neurorobotics Lab at UC at Irvine. Dr. Edelman distinguished between primary consciousness, which came first in evolution, and that humans share with other conscious animals, and higher order consciousness, which came to only humans with the acquisition of language. A machine with primary consciousness will probably have to come first.

Iam a researcher in phenomenology of medicine, I am expecting more videos on the topic.

In my experience, and when it comes to medical issues, those speaking of "ethics" or who are "ethicists" are almost always on Team Anti-Human.

He is actually a psychopath

I'd like to know how the vaccine nanoparticles injected throughout our global humanity is being used to connect us up to the supercomputer 'the beast,' and why he feels this is necessary for total control.

Ethics according to who? According to what standard?

Aw there's that feel good cozy UN & WEF word they like to throw around "sustainable". We want to sustain and grow our control so we're going to control your body & mind with toxins, emf, graphene and tell you it's for the common good, it's for your health. And you better buy it don't speak out against transhumanism or will will call you a domestic terrorist. Got to love you tools who are working for them.

"for the sake of a sustainable well-being” What a load of rubbish! It’s not for our well being it’s for utter and total control of humanity.

These people are destroying peoples lives with this technology...watch the video and you will understand...th-cam.com/video/tLJmp5RvbDk/w-d-xo.html

Thanks a lot! I am follower of Massimo! Greetings from Mexico City! Blessings 🙏🏻

This guy needs a bigger platform to send his messages out. He's basically telling you what's going on right now.

Great conversation on complicated topics in such a simple way! Thanks to Massimo and the moderator.

Very interesting, this does indeed remind me of modern luciferianism where the idea is to play god (know the love of god and his creation) and thus become separate from him in your own manifested creation (self exaltation). I'd still maintain that a piousness and unwavering belief in the lore of God is what it is to be religious/believer/worshipper and thus the 'truth seeker' is kind of antithesis to it in this context. I'd would have loved if Yaser Mirdamadi went more into how such a process of truth seeking (and rule forming) as a kind of self exaltation ties into the growing Sharia law in the Imamate system political system. Not sure if faith and doubt go hand in hand, faith is faith without knowledge, the desire for knowledge is thus a symptom of the lack of faith as I interpret it in this context.

Thank you for hosting such a wonderful session. Massimo was as concise, systematic and passionate in his responses as one could only wish. Great questions too.

Hi...have you written papers on his book?

I came across Stoicism about 2 years ago on a video here on youtube and I remember almost not clicking on it but I am glad I did because it changed my life in the sense that it opened me up to stoic philosophy and ever since then I have been trying to live a more virtous life I just didnt exactly know how to go about it but this way of thinking definitely has helped me do that with out a doubt. I have read meditations by Marcus Aurelius and Moral Letters to Lucillus by Seneca. From time to time when I speak to friends, aquaintaces etc I am so surprised at how many people are not familiar with Stoic philosophy. Could have something to do with the fact that I live in Mexico and Stoicism is not hugely popular here lol Great interview by the way!

Very interesting topic!

One speaks about "The crisis of the European sciences" and the fallacies there denounced almost century ago (that would be extremely relevant for the psychiatrical diagnostic system but are ignored because of capitalism), and the audience perceives it as a lecture in political correctness and good manners. Is there any hope at all? Yet, I must say that the phenomenological-existentialist psychiatric tradition itself is responsible "Fighting stigma" is the motto of the pharmaceutical industry. Prof. Brencio, acquiescing the political push for "good words", inadvertently contributes to the problem. Apart from this, she's a rare pearl of intelligence and insight in today's scenario and I would love to hear more from her. We need more Heideggerians in our society. Let's just never forget about Freud, DeSaussure, Lacan &c either..
