    What's shocking to me is you can watch every interview, talk, etc., he has ever given and he never gets a word wrong or mangles his syntax, while discussing cutting edge linguistic science, philosophy, history, you name it. Remarkable.

    The word house is a fantastically complex concept, involving abstract ideas of exterior and interior and an observers physiceal relation to those two states. A
    Some autistic people have singular visual representations of the category house, so if they imagine what houses look like they don't have a variety of possible exterior design structures to choose for internal representation, but rather a single house exemplar image. The cog. normative brain makes this same conceptual operation if you ask the normal person to visualize home; I find this interesting.

    • @AnHebrewChild
      @AnHebrewChild ปีที่แล้ว

      Can you explain your last sentence? You make a distinction between house and home (which, of course, there is) but you seem to suggest that "home" invokes a conceptual image in the 'normal' brain much like 'house' does in some autistics.
      This seems counter-intuitive to me.
      Did I read you correctly?

    • @ivannegri7724
      @ivannegri7724 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AnHebrewChild I sort of confused myself, I can only assume that I meant that for a non-autistic house is a particular that needs no singular mental representation, meaning everytime you think about a house you might very well think of a different house every time, but because home is your personal relationship to house, you have a sort of Platonic singular representation, for example my parents had several residences when I grew up, but I always associated home with one particular house, the house on Green meadow Dr. so for me that was representative of what the feeling of the word home invokes. Sorry about the confusing nature of my not well formulated thoughts.

Interesting idea that the non-autistic will unconsciously select a former residency, presumably one with the highest degree of imprinted emotions, to express the "HOME," that's very interesting.

      Sorry for finding this 3 years later; I'm not sure how you could disagree with much of what he says. He cites sources and draws pictures around ideas that he's selling and then drills into the idea. He does it over and over. He also gives great context as to what/how/why everything operates the way it does now.
      Also his politics are literally let people self govern and don't kill people (that's dumbed down but I am pretty sure I've landed on the general essence)

      Ingredients
      For the Fries:
      4 large russet potatoes, peeled (optional) and cut into fries
      Vegetable oil for frying
      Salt to taste
      For the Gravy:
      4 tablespoons unsalted butter
      4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
      2 cups (500ml) beef or chicken stock (low-sodium)
      1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
      Salt and pepper to taste
      For the Cheese:
      1 ½ cups cheese curds (or small cubes of mozzarella if unavailable)
      ---
      Instructions
      1. Prepare the Fries:
      Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
      Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
      Fry the potatoes in batches for 5-6 minutes until soft but not browned. Remove and let cool.
      Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry again for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
      2. Make the Gravy:
      Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
      Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes to form a roux.
      Gradually add stock, whisking until smooth. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
      Stir in Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
      3. Assemble the Poutine:
      Place hot fries on a plate. Top with cheese curds.
      Pour hot gravy over the fries and cheese curds, allowing the cheese to soften.
      Serve immediately and enjoy this indulgent dish!

      The thing is, he nailed it. Refutations never age well. Every once in a while someone finds a language that doesn't appear to have some minor thing he said was universal, but it turns out wrong or extremely nitpicky even for scientists. The main idea, that there's some a priori knowledge backing up the acquisition of language, is almost universally accepted.

    The fact of naming ceremonies means we are smart enough to know we can be named. That's a recognition which could be made independent of other communities and without saltation. If you look at folk history of California native Americans, first came name for me, then for you, then for direction, etc. That's a new technology. And naming ceremonies for teens is common. And also, In the beginning was the word.... is an abstract expression of how important worded expression became. In animistic religion, you get a name under cave art where the animals are god like. Now you get a name to place you in a community of likes. And once you have a name for yourself, art can flow as naming devices, educational devices for a new idea. Look at Anne Sullivan. Teaching a new technology to Helen. It spreads.
