Love this! Thank you!

is the talk that this is from available somewhere?

If you are forced into an arranged marriage, then it's not an arranged marriage, it's a forced marriage and what the person in the video is describing sounds a whole lot like forced marriage. You do have a choice in an arranged marriage.

I'm fortunate to have been born into a culture that doesn't advocate for arranged marriage. I think everyone should have the right to decide how they live their life, and who they share that life with. As a social worker, I have worked with the MWN (UK) to prevent honour based violence and forced marriage. However, I have two friends who asked their families to arrange matches for them and both are happy with the partners they ultimately chose. Arranged marriages can be healthy and happy ones. They offer security and stability, which is great IF that's what you want. But forced marriages are rarely happy. The power imbalance between husband and wife is too great.

When will the full interview be up?

Its societies problem, but a society that hates God is doomed anyways

I totes feel like I’m creeping you Cyan. But I’m loving this vulnerable truth you keep speaking about! Def what the world needs! Ty for being u! And about the electronic music…I switched to dance music years ago, with what felt like was going against culture and kinda shameful but persisted bc it was the only music that brought me internal joy. The only music that felt good when I listened to it. And only good can come from feeling good! Your light is bright! 👌🏼❤️

Great episode and discussion. Looking forward to reading the book. Enjoy his Substack.

1:44:18 An advantage of charging fees to industries proportional to emissions, resource depletion or habitat destruction, then sharing fee proceeds equally, would be that people could afford to do worthwhile things, even if they pay a very low wage or no wage. (Unfortunately, this idea of fee-and-dividend as a global policy for promoting sustainability and ending poverty is not discoverable on Wikipedia. It is not reported in news stories about poverty, disparity or social unrest, nor in stories about environmental challenges. It was rejected when presented in an academic Paper, because it was said to be too radical.

Yes it is curious indeed, but it is not something essential about human beings. Many of us grew up being terrified of authority figures because any expression of our true selves or challenge to authority was punished. This kind of behavior in adults is the result of having been raised in a (socio-political and/or family) system of domination, is how I see it.

blurring the lines between reality and fiction for a public audience does not equate to healing

Do you cover classic movies like 12 Angry Men, or more obscure films like Wickerman?

very interesting way to have put it

I like this way of thinking. I try to give music from genres I usually don't like a chance.

507 views. And no Likes. That’d be about right. This is bollocks.

i do not have a job . i have only passions .

Woo I am a big Virginian fan too!

Here we are , laughing about war….

She's confused people when admitting it's semiautobiographical fiction then stating it's true. Weaving some memoir elements yet making composite characters etc is still fiction.

Oh! That's a very good point...I was limited at contemporary

In my country 75% of people dont have 500$ in their bank accounts. More homeless everyday. It must be very optimistic to be a pretty woman. My best friends 10 year old daughter has already been given more free shit in her life than ill ever earn if i loved to be a million years old and worked every day. Dont play on easy mode and trll us all it aint that difficult. Youll know what rough is when you get old enough that the 'caliber' of man you think you deserve is no longer okay with being seen with you.

This did not age well….

dang she's hot

hello, I'm appying to Emergent Ventures from India!

Leftists just get a rush at the thought that they can police other people's behavior and thoughts. It doesn't work in real life but their fantasies are endless.

This was great. The only problem is it ended.

We sre so fortunate that these "misinformation" experts have been exposed as partisan censorship anti 1st amendment creeps.

Kant, Foucault, Marx, Fanon, etc. Gotta cite em in arts and humanities. Anything you say and do must be built on their arbitrary observations. Your own arbitrary observations are insufficient.

Shoutout to my boi Cracks in Pomo😁

Great questions and discussion. Thanks!

I just learned about Professor Eire. Then I found your channel. Your questions are spot on. You have excellent interviewing skills. Thank you.

❤

The conversation deal with a really Inspiring topic. An eye-opening. Thank you

Free-will is so much more about time and epistemology than mere agency... :/ wish more people caught on to that.

As I listen to these uber educated women analyze the complex nature of today's narcissism, I wonder how quickly Western societies will be replaced by those in which traditional roles include motherhood. I'm not sure a culture that can't reproduce deserves to survive.

This is a really good video.

David m Perry is a communist but too weak to admit it...... What a complete loser

So what you are saying is that children and teenagers are just constantly drunk

This is very insightful. The discussion on cultural attitudes resonates a lot with me, it has a very significant effect but usually goes unnoticed by individuals immersed in a culture.

Seth doesn't like idea of free will based on his framing of what free will must be. Meh.

“He (Sam) like well you know all it is is are you doing the thing to maximize subjective well-being of all the conscious people” Do you mean objective? Sam doesn’t think well-being is subjective. He thinks well-being is objective, hence the subtitle of his book The Moral Landscape: “How Science Can Determine Human Values”

Great conversation.

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 only primary consciousness will probably have to come first. What I find special about the TNGS is the Darwin series of automata created at the Neurosciences Institute by Dr. Edelman and his colleagues in the 1990's and 2000's. These machines perform in the real world, not in a restricted simulated world, and display convincing physical behavior indicative of higher psychological functions necessary for consciousness, such as perceptual categorization, memory, and learning. They are based on realistic models of the parts of the biological brain that the theory claims subserve these functions. The extended TNGS allows for the emergence of consciousness based only on further evolutionary development of the brain areas responsible for these functions, in a parsimonious way. No other research I've encountered is anywhere near as convincing. I post because on almost every video and article about the brain and consciousness that I encounter, the attitude seems to be that we still know next to nothing about how the brain and consciousness work; that there's lots of data but no unifying theory. I believe the extended TNGS is that theory. My motivation is to keep that theory in front of the public. And obviously, I consider it the route to a truly conscious machine, primary and higher-order. My advice to people who want to create a conscious machine is to seriously ground themselves in the extended TNGS and the Darwin automata first, and proceed from there, by applying to Jeff Krichmar's lab at UC Irvine, possibly. Dr. Edelman's roadmap to a conscious machine is at arxiv.org/abs/2105.10461 The theory and experimental method that the Darwin automata are based on is the way to a conscious machine.

Great discussion .. thank you.

Regarding Forgiveness: Great topic, deep insights, thanks to all! For me, it’s too fuzzy down here in the cave, and clarity only comes in the light of the sun. It’s only in possession of The Good, which for me is the sharing of the collective selves of larger and larger social (i.e., spiritual) bodies, that I know what forgiveness is; and it’s how I feel about my right hand when it hits my left thumb with a hammer. The hard part is coming to feel those spiritual bodies our own, and the trick there-I’ve come to find-is a divine encounter with the Spirit of the whole Body in that thumb. To forgive and to be forgiven is divine because to become whole.

Thanks for a great discussion. Subscribed!
