Extended You | Professor Andy Clark | TEDxLambeth

In this challenging and thought-provoking talk, Professor Andy Clark draws on years of extensive research into the theories and evidences surrounding the 'extended mind'. Andy Clark is Professor of Cognitive Philosophy at the University of Sussex. He is the author of several books including 'Natural-Born Cyborgs' (Oxford University Press 2003), 'Supersizing the Mind' (Oxford University Press 2008) and 'Surfing Uncertainty' (Oxford University Press, 2016). His current research interests include human-technology interaction, embodiment, and the predictive brain. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Watching the speech/lecture got me the idea that mind is actually a process, not a 'thing'

So glad you gave professor Clark a platform to share his insights

Hi Andy. Think in our own hearts, doing what philosophers and extended cognitive scientists have been researching about our interaction with AI and the environment of which we are a part of. I am a researcher in cognitive sciences at the UAEM, but lately I have been interested in our hearts (as a loop, the way you say it in this video) and not only in our body as a whole in interaction with the environment we are part of and with our prosthetic sections and our cell phones, computers, etc. I have been following you for a long time and the book that is in my heart is Surfing Uncertainty. Greetings from Mexico.

Enjoyed the talk, can't wait to read your book. I'm intrigued by this subject and feel BCI technology will open up a whole new mind for us in coming years :)

Be proud of this highly personal trip that is one's unique journey through human existence, but be not overly proud, as the infinite ocean of yet uncombined collective human experience lies all around us in a kind of future vouchsafing transcendence within an inevitable higher dimensional time. Of course, this all presupposes that the data of subjective experience are ultimately rational, which it seems is one important implication of Wittgenstein's private language argument.

very interesting, Andy. yet i wonder if it's a good thing, so simply. the self extended into a wider info-tech ecology is, on the one hand, the infrastructure of ecclesial enlightenment, in Dick's vision of Valis. yet the same infrastructure, when controlled by e.g. profit-maximizing corps could enable a web of control without parallel in political history.

The speaker was so rushed, but this topic and it's appropriate delivery required more examples and that too being delivered from his perspective, although i got the gist of what he was trying to convey, but that too is limited to my own world view

[@TheOhpapaNoah]

That is probably due to the circumstance of the talk, don't you think? His jokes about his own rushing suggest that they gave him a small time frame.

[@runvnc208]

Right. He also has written some books.

Successful philosophy talk = AI/tech buzzwords + funny shirt + funny pics + brain pics + scattered notions from Intro to basic clinical neuropsychology 101.
