- In May 2021 A.C. Grayling ,founder of New College of the Humanities, came to Intelligence Squared to take us on a journey through the history of science, psychology and history itself. In a special lecture drawing from his new book Frontiers of Knowledge he will describe how each field has advanced to where it is now: from the rise of technology to quantum theory; from the dawn of humanity to debates around national histories; from ancient ideas about the brain to modern theories of the mind.
Each advance in these subject areas has further exposed what Grayling calls the paradox of knowledge: that the more we know, the greater becomes the extent of our ignorance.

Grayling hardly ever has a um or ahh in his discourse. Brilliant
That impresses you but you missed that he actually doesn't think much.
The 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. It is clear creation had to be done supernaturally yet it is still denied because people are just too proud to accept that, among other things.
I can listen to this man talk for days. Absolutely brilliant!
It's because you have a tiny brain too like he does and never even thought of BASIC science.

Great synthesis of recent knowledge.
"But it is equally important to remember that people are not just their careers. They are also voters, thinkers, lovers, parents, friends, travelers, and neighbors, and as such, they should have a much broader literacy conscious of the fact that the world is not a fabric of facts which have been settled, agreed upon, and put in place by the discoveries to date. Rather, it is an open-ended field where all our inquiries are generating new questions to be asked, new answers to be sought, and that, realizing this is not just fascinating in itself and enriching, but also important from the point of view of how we decide -- how we as a society, and how we as individuals, are going to live, vote, and do with what we currently think we know." 28:41 - 29:40
Extremely well put! Thoroughly enjoyed this lecture, and super refreshing in an age rife with misinformation and agendas.
What a brilliant, concise and clear lecture.
Hey, how did this "brilliant" lecture even address how we got this all on its own. That's a good place to start.

beautiful mind .... love and respect 💌💌💌💌
Show how beautiful it is. Show how creation can happen on its own.

amazing thinking , clear and thoughtful lecture .
His tiny brain doesn't even follow science.

i like to smoke and watch these lectures and debates. i find it a very enjoyable experience.
Do you ever actually think though?

If contemporary Cosmology has to rest on the conjecture of dark energy, how does it differ from the Cosmology of Ahura Mazda and Angrya Mainyu?
BRILLIANT MIND, THIS MAN.
No, just another clueless being with clueless followers like you.

Interesting conversation.
Well done to Faye for stretching the Profs brain.
What keys 🔑 they use to unlock that code ???!;( The computer (Keyboard !!!!) can you find The Code ???. 💕
At the end of knowledge
there is nothing more
than an invisible door,
where the light from the other side
is shining through so,
so unbelievable bright
that it will push you so,
so far out of sight,
leaving you with nothing more
than you knew the moment before,
you made your first move
towards the final prouf.
' I want '
I want it
U can't have it
I want it
U can never get it
I can never reach it
I thought once I had it
I really did
But Something Happened
I no not what
It went (away)
So here i am
where am I ?
Back here
Wanting
And knowing
I've had it
Still asking
Why
I still want it
hehe
still thinking
I can get it
the joke
you've had it all along ..
what a beautiful poem!
pretty smart chap is ACG
wow! thanks!
so, as regards education, maybe it's not so bad to have some hoops (educational measurement) to have to jump though, so long as those are not considered the end goal. an enquisitive person can take such hoops as an opportunity to learn much more broadly about a field, and yet still jump through such hoops and learn lots more on the way ... perhaps that's a +ve approach?
YOU MEAN, IN A SORT OF HYBRID WAY, YES?
Grayling for PM
"I think therefore I am," presupposes an I...
Knowing his association with the abhorrent wef has entirely discredited him for me.
Jodys always running around trying to find certainty
8:00 dark matter? That thing with no evidence of its existence? See Rupert Sheldrake for details.

Our speaker??
Nincompoop
Stay arrogant, stay ignorant, uncouth zealot.
@@anurag3619 well then prove it. This clueless being thinks we got all this naturally so show how that matches with science.

Grayling is superciliousness personified... END
Brilliant! I'd kindly recommend this talk to those who worship science, especially their self styled cult leader, Sam Harris (maybe one of his minions could)
Are the lips a consequence of nature or nurture? Listen to me! Get to work! I’m in charge here!
He didn’t see Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Ha, ha! This guy doesn’t need a brain implant he is one!
No exams? That old cliché.
Surely that’s how he got his jobs, which probably pay well. Perhaps he should hand over to a bloke what don’t speak pwoper? He might well as things turn out. Oxford and Cambridge could make useful building material, and who cares about destroying them; who cares about anything?
