    Stephen, you are a genius. I love, how you explain deep and often complex philosophical thoughts and metaphors in a way, which is practical and understandable even for non philosophers. I love your talks. Thank you so much! Greetings to you from Salzburg - the city of Mozart, with so much „sound of music and genius“ in the air and ether, Claudia

    If ever I wish to forget about Philosophy and go on to other matters, I sure will go to this episode to remember Why. My miserable brain is now totally entangled.

      You can't quit philosophy. You can quit amateurs trying to figure out what they just read, pretending they're an authority by exhibiting that process online, tho.
      I only clicked on this because it looked professional and I really struggle understanding Sartre's essay on Emotions, but this guy doesn't seem to have read that essay, ever. His interpretation is way too superficial for that.

    I’ve been a fan of existentialism for years, but one aspect of it that I’ve never been able to reconcile w/ my view of the world is Sartre’s view that everybody is absolutely free. To clarify, there is a discontinuity between this idea and the reality of situations in abnormal psychology.
    In the cases of severe anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, schizophrenia, severe drug addiction, etc. in which there are empirically identified physiological factors that cause people to not be absolutely free and conscious of their actions.

      Also, contrary to the example in which one stands over a cliff and feels that they’re free to jump, there are other more complicated future scenarios that one could imagine without knowing if they’re capable of actually doing it just by choosing. For example me becoming an astronaut or something.

    "We've all seen that TED talk where..." Yeah. You're right. We are an interesting demographic ;)

      heard it first in Tony Robbins tape. Was severely depressed back then. It magical shifted my mood for the while I was doing it. It felt phenomenal and then it got back to where it started. Something was missing. And now I have found that something in this podcast. Thank you so much, Uncle Steve.

      That study was recently proved to be bunk btw

    Thank you. I now understand a little more about what Sartre was saying.

    i get how "nothingness" can be compared to freedom of potentiality, but i still see the connection to "consciousness".. i will have to hear this a few times :/

    • @seanpatrickrichards5593

      "emotion is a choice".. its weird that so many babies choose to cry when they get hurt instead of all the other emotions they could choose.. what a coininkydink :)
      It seems to me more like when you get older you can kinda paint over your feelings by telling yourself stuff to reinterpret how you feel about it.. It really seems to me that there's just chains of events and momentum of habits.. you did something yesterday or saw it done yesterday, you're more inclined to do it the next day, maybe better if you've adapted and improved.. it seems really rare that people do just really random stuff.. I think of that Sam Harris video where he asks people to think of a movie and a few choices pop in your head and he points out that you didnt choose those... it doesnt seem like there's free will.. but maybe i'm just too cowardly to face the infinite potentiality that truly exists for me :O

    maybe change may be an illusion of the senses, the idea that things cannot go anywhere like out of being might be an illusion of the mind

    As much as I appreciate the in depth Sartre series, it definitely feels like you glossed over Camus super hard. I feel like this should have been called, "Sartre, Sartre, Camus and Sartre, Sartre, Sartre."

    16:17 "What is stopping us from reverting back to older behavior?" I think maybe your brain and body adapt to new behavior, kinda like weight lifting.. because, if you play a song on the piano clunky, or walk clunky.. then a year later you've practiced so that its effortless, it can actually be hard to do it clunky like when you started cause now its more automatic, because i guess your brain and your body adapt or stengthen at that task somehow... i guess you could intentionally try to do it badly again, but its like you have momentum to at least do the best behavior you previously did and MAYBE push forward if you keep trying your best.. i could be wrong, but thats how it seems to me :/ Maybe its all in our mind, and Roger Banister or anyone ALWAYS could have broken the 4 minute mile but they needed to believe they could by inching their way up :) i dunno! I'm told though that muscle fibers tear when they've been pushed to their brink and maybe the same happens in the brain.. maybe they can fall apart with lack of use.. its almost like behavior is like a series of notches carved into wood, when you do a new action then you've made a new small notch and you'll be a little more inclined to fall into that and maybe carve it further.. and some notches are very deep (combinations of repeated behavior and genetic disposition) and its hard to just push a really deep new notch (new behavior) out of left field, just like its hard to imagine me spontaneously becoming a lion tamer, but i think you can make incremental steps toward directions you wanna go and maybe bigger leaps if you believe you have less limits.. its weird (sorry, i know this is obnoxious, i cant help it, this is a very thought provoking great podcast and i had to gush! :O)

    So...consciousness is freedom and freedom is nothingness, therefore consciousness is nothingness?

  • @MoonChildMedia

    Is consciousness still freedom when you live in a country under a government which makes laws against you having control over it? For example psilocybin and marijuana can have profound effects on one's consciousness, yet government says no, no, no.

      Yes, because you are free to choose whether or not you use those substances regardless of punishment.
