Hilary Putnam -- "Naive Realism and Qualia"

[@tesfuweldemikael2902]

I love this man. Not just his brilliant work, decade after decade, but also his simplicity and humour. His technical work helps me in my own social scientific domain, and his personality inspires me way beyond the academic domain.

I would love to hear Putnam weigh in on this whole "Is this dress White and Gold/Blue and Black" debacle.

Not that I disagree with Putnam in principal, but personally, there's no perceptible difference in color between my two eyes.

Good talk, too bad the audio isn't cleaner. That humming is really distracting.

I guess the subject makes it hard to be a great speaker, since it's hard to take it in just by listening... But in comparison to Quine, he's a terrific speaker! :)

I am deep into the rabbit hole of philosophical discourse.

Oh? After 2 years have you escaped? I am trapped also due to my astonishment that all the great lectures I never got to see [I graduated Baylor 1960] are available on TH-cam. Getting smarter at 70 seems like a good idea!

Skip to 04:41 to avoid the introduction.

guess he doesn't know his knights Templar history. hehe. Enjoyable listen though and helped with an upcoming exam very much.

[@sacredsoma]

Is the transcript of this talk available some where?

[@dnathan1826]

[@Hannahahahahaah]

[@GMRghost]
