Jordan! I just have to say man, my X-Ray vision eyes have determined with unbelievable accuracy that THAT SUIT, my good sir, looks FANTASTIC on you!!! Great choice, and what a phenomenal interview!
I’m only 4 minutes into the video and I had to pause it. It started a philosophical discussion between my husband and me that lasted over a hour. Many points were brought up ie. different human cultures, our non-verbal cat and how he is the expert at communicating with us. By far the most interesting being how the octopus uses color changes AND TEXTURE in their skin to display emotion and intent. Ok, back to the video…We had to make a rule not to do the ‘pause and discuss’ but to do the ‘let it wave and sink in’ style of watching. Otherwise it would take us all day to finish. Thank you Dr Peterson for the mental stimulation today!
I'm trained in surveillance and counter surveillance. You can train someone in pattern recognition that picks up when your cover is blown by a target. Usually a dangerous target as they conduct counter surveillance. Most targets have no situational awareness and no clue they're being followed UNTIL you accidentally lock eyes. Women are especially sensitive to that, but so many people these days are too distracted to notice. Face in a cell phone. There's a reason the secret service & Close protection officers wear shades, often mirrored. Their eyes are working overtime, scanning for threats. The eyes and hands are what they look at.
Sorry to tell you but you guys stick out like a sore thumb. Thinking you are clever because you have had lots of training and being street smart are two very different things.
@@moorshound3243agreed. Even when they try undercover, they friggin still do stupid things like out of decade costumes or hairstyles. They even pretend to be wasted and or loud and proud about some stupid thing. Ya know, hiding in plain sight. They hate that won't work on me. I've busted out blockades before we can be sprung on so many times, lingered the officer every single time. It's actually easy, because cover or no, they MUST follow law.
I feel that it's not just the abilities of our eyes. I think we "share consciousness" through our eyes (window to the soul, etc). That's the giveaway in being "made" by a surveillance target. We're not the only creatures who have this ability.
I've been out of the loop for a while - its so great to be back listening to intelligent people discuss interesting things that they actually know about! And JP's suit is very nice too.
This is so interesting. All of my life, whenever I'm mad or really upset my face turns beat red and so does my chest. I hate it. Because there's no way to mask my feelings at that time. It's so bad that people have repeatedly asked me what was happening. And I don't know many people who have it as bad as me.
@@brantheman13 interested in this concept. How did the trait of optical complexity microevolve if a structural change in the cell structure overall requires several mutations in the DNA sequence / genome simultaneously for a substantial delta in the biological structural with unguided direction (observationally which causes no survival benefit, but rather malignant structural function to the organism), I wonder? I am not saying I have the answer to this, I ask coming from a humble opinion. What say you, my friend?
@@pa.l.2499 Ah you miss my point. Im not the one trying to deny creationism... Jordan is... watch 1:10 in the video again... they are talking about evolution this entire video. We are fearfully and wonderfully evolved.
This is interesting. It reminds me of my recent talk i had with my youngest in deer hunting for his first youth hunt. I told him whatever you do dont stare into the deers eyes when he sees one we may want to harvest. Especially a big buck. There is a thing called buck fever and i was taught that you get fixed on the rack lol and lose focus on the shot. I've realized over the years that it's not the rack, but really, you're staring into the eyes, anticipating his next actions through the deers eyes. So i tell my boys to not look at the deers eyes but to only look in one small spot where you want the bullet to go. If and when the deer presents a good shot then he is ready to go. You can get in a trance staring at eyes and doesn't help with the calming down to make a good shot.
@stewartgillis4851 congratulations you figured out what harvesting an animal is. Lol, it wasn't a riddle. Adults don't say going to kill. It's not war. It's dinner. To say I harvested a deer is common practice for seasoned hunters.
That's a fascinating story! It's interesting how the idea of focusing on a small spot rather than the whole animal can be applied to different situations in life. Sometimes, in our daily challenges, we can get fixated on one aspect-whether it's an outcome, a problem, or a fear-and lose sight of what really matters. Have you ever experienced a moment in life where focusing on just one small thing helped you overcome a bigger challenge? How do you think this approach can be applied beyond hunting?
I lived with a blind person a longtime ago and I was curious if he blushed when embarrassed. And yes he did. It would seem from my sighted perspective that he would have had an advantage of "hiding" by not seeing the people that he was doing something embarrassing infront of.
I learned a lot about spirituality through hermeticism and Theosophy and I think that our inner self recognizes it, when someone is paying attention to us, for our thoughts, feelings and desires are forces that play inside us and outside of us. The feeling of being watched, wich leads you to turn around and see someone walking far behind you. Thats why a good detective knows that he has to look on the feet, for if he looks too long at the head, or upper body, the person under surveillance will turn around and feel it. I don´t think that we just physically know when we are looked at, but that it is a bit deeper. Sypathetic vibration is important in this regard. Man has more senses and more conciousness than it is acknowledged. I have been outside my body, I had experiences in rudimentary clairvoyance (Unintentional remote-viewing) and therefore know that you are more than flesh and blood. The body and its brain are merely instruments for the inner life and are better, if tuned properly. Frequency is the key and a healthy and fit body is an instrumant wich has little distortion and noise for the inner self
The cardinal purpose to the hand is so you don't fall out of the tree, because that leads to all sorts of bad things. Every animal with opposable thumbs is arboreal.
Same with flat feet if not why wouldnt we have hoofs ? Hoofs are more efficient in every way except climbing trees lol or forward facing eyes you need it for dept perception for distances between branches also it allows more focus and less distractions
It makes sense. We'll effectively "see through" leaves because of the differing angles of the eyes, allowing one eye to observe what the other eye cannot, which gives us a much larger volume of space to observe at one point. I get I'm just restating his point, but I think simplifying it (perhaps too much) helps people understand.
@@mrjamesgrimes Because predators need to accurately judge the distance in order to know how far to jump on their prey. Also primates need to accurately judge the distance to another branch.
A precondition? It's just called having depth perception.. You can have one eye and still be accurate. It would just take getting used to. I knew someone with one eye who still drove a car just fine.
@@Dankmangolion have you ever tried shooting a bow or firing a gun? It's not the same as driving a car. Hitting a bullseye is a matter of centimeters over a distance of tens of meters, while driving doesn't require the same level of precision unless you're parking in a very tight spot.
Funnily enough it actually took me, probably being on the spectrum, years to realize that I could infer someone's attention by following their gaze over their body language. Because what someone is looking at as they speak is actually a lot more precise than any hand movements or gestures they might use. Me being also a very visual thinker I always thought that by someone's hand gestures they were trying to draw out what they were meaning to convey and that their gaze would track to the imaginary space wherein the demonstration was being held.
The reason we have forward looking eyes is so that we can watch this video without being distracted by the kids choking one another on the floor behind us. :) Great job, cheers .
Perhaps we have two forward-facing eyes because we can use them to look into each others’ eyes (love, loyalty, trust) which blocks out the surrounding world for both partners in that moment. And we read other people’s minds by staring at the eyes and at the same time know the other person is also doing the same thing back.
Sometimes I think my wife is nocturnal lol. She has grey eyes almost clear and is from northern Sweden. I can't see sht at night and she can literally see in the dark. It creeps me the hell out.
Those with normal color vision really can't relate at all to those of us with alternate color vision. I have a red-green issue. I don't see less colors, I see thousands of colors. My perception is shifted. I struggle with some shades but I can see other colors that regular people cannot. There are tests that we can see that other people cannot. Supposedly we also see better at night.
Studies also show you detect camouflage easier than regular sighted people. Some have theorized it may have been an adaptive trait for some ppl to have this night/camo vision in a tribe for example.
@carsonhunt4642 maybe certain types but not generally. Tiger Stripe, I think yes. Desert yes. ACU maybe, not sure. Forest no. Multicam no. Although in the two wars I served our enemies usually didn't wear nature camouflage because they were trying to blend into the normal population.
@vmasing1965 Maybe; no one has studied it adequately. I think it's not seen as Important enough to get much financing for research. That is why I included 'supposedly'. However when running around in the woods at night, I see good enough that I can run at a slow pace when others with me say they can't see anything. At the same time, maybe it is just a skill I developed from growing up on thousands of acres of forested land.
@@VeteranExpat I also have significantly better nightvision than anyone I know and I happen to have completely standard color vision variant. Besides, we do know the receptors are different, so there is enough research to at least establish the basics.
I am a European geneticist biologist and this interview is a wave 👌✨🌊 of freshness, so many years of common phrases and common values in evolutionary biology... and of "philosophy" 🤔ambushed in science...I also have precognitive vision and draw. I am very interested in this approach. 👉Thank you !!! 🤩🌿. From Europe 🏰🍷🎄🍷
In regards to blushing - something I’ve noticed, as someone who blushes (and used to get/have rosey cheeks very easily - now not as much) I’ve noticed I’m more likely to blush in front of a loved one, like close family and/or a partner or a date. If I’m in a setting where it’s important for me to not show weakness, I’m much less likely to blush
This fits with the symbolic interpretation of the human eye from the book: “Eye of God: Language of Universal Mind” which came out recently which says the eye is a symbol of the sun, the Earth, and a black hole. It sounded so crazy at first, but as a scientist who actually taught experimental methods it’s literally the most mind-blowing thing I’ve ever read. To me it was actual evidence of god. Thank you for this excellent interview and sharing it with all of us. ❤❤❤👁️❤️❤️❤️
Our behaviors are much older than we think. Giving up running away faster from predators on 4 paws, to walking upright to use our hand's versatility, perhaps was the effect of highly evolved community protection that protected its individuals (many separate civilizations carved a man holding 2 beasts by the throat at his arms lengths to his sides) from harm, and to the belief and enrollment of its members, and this happened as early as 4 million years ago! There is much more to every assertion if we knew when and knew more about conditions present then.
Seems like there is a much more simple reason being that hands are evolved to climb trees - all monkeys have hands, even species of monkeys that dont defend each other
@@brantheman13 Yes. In evolutionary theory this is called pre-adaptation. Where a trait evolves for one purpose (climbing) that leads to another adaptation pathway, (tool making and tool use). The visual detail achieved by doubling the surface area receiving light enables the creation of finely crafted tools and the more effective use of those tools.
@@brantheman13 Didn't respond to you but the OP. Which you would have noticed if you had a working attention span. Well at least you tried to throw an insult out there at random. Good job!
Mark Changizi is a wonderful guest. Might watch the entire episode. He actually talked more than Jordan. And Jordan does A LOT of talking. Thank you, Jordan for letting your guest speak more than you.
I've seen through my eyelids a handful of times. I was hoping the title had to do with that. This wasn't a dream or vision from God. I've had those before in prayer and such. These experiences happen when I get in just the right relaxed mindset. When you're just chilling and as soon as u recognize it happening, you can look around and observe everything as if your eyes are open. But you feel your eyes moving under your lids. It's wild. But just like anything extra sensory, when you think about it or examine it too hard, you pop back out of the experience. It seems to just happen, but you can't make it happen, which is frustrating😊
That's akin to Astral travel and you're right on the edge of discovering it on your own. Keep going, be safe tho. Gotta build an Astral home and all that other stuff. Don't forget to pop back in and eat every once in a while!
@newfreenayshaun6651 Actually, I've experienced astral travel/projection. Along with the hatman, shadowmen, and all of the demonic stuff that can happen. That was back in my hipster/ witchy youth. This was different. I'm Christian, so I don't venture into the astral realm. It's dangerous. We shouldn't be crossing the veil without God's permission and/or being taken there by Him or an angelic being. That's my just my experience. The bad vibes and anxiety experienced right before you pop out of your body... .the stuff you're told to push through.....its a warning. Now, I will say, what I experienced felt more akin to remote viewing.
If you’re a Bible-believing Christian, then astral projection is not to be messed with. Doreen Virtue’s recent video on Oprah, New Age, and New Thought will explain why.
🤔Was told that my pupils are almost twice as large as others. Have extraordinary night vision & believe I can detect microexpressions. I also see colors differently with each eye. I don't know how odd these things are, or if it's just that I observe & can articulate it...
I’m the same. Great night vision my optician was impressed with how quick my eyes accustomed to the dark. I see with a warmth in one eye and a blue coldness in the other. I believe i see more uv in that eye like the artist claud Monet.
@@harpo7226 YES. You're the only other person I've heard to know of or share this trait, including with great/specialty Opthalmologist's! Do you enjoy closing one eye, then the other to isolate the differences in nature or art? It's striking!
What an absolutely fascinating discussion! The driver of the properties of human characteristics is a incredible topic. I had read recently that humans have more hair follicles than chimpanzees and it's now understood that the body hair we have is a cooling advantage (sweat is held in place by the tiny short hair follicles), most likely possibly the result of "running down game" which also changed our posture and likely resulted in our hair shortening over a large portion of our bodies. This is the first time eyesight has been so well explained to me.
The blushing on stage example was amazing if proven. I don't know about the placement of the eyes due to bushes. I'm rationalizing for my own belief of course but the predator/prey explanation seems much more valid. Fish? Surely they are at least as much prey as predator. Same with birds. And obviously a theory doesn't mean 'always'. Because we can point out exceptions doesn't disprove a theory. I've put his theory into my knowledge bank however and it might make more sense to me as my knowledge increases.
I don't think you're at the age where you can still change your view on the world very easily. For some people this comes earlier, for others a but later, but we all get there eventually...
@@vmasing1965 Yeah. World views change slowly and that's probably for the best. I just like to be self aware and point out where I may be limiting my thinking.
Picasso's cubism = " Cubist subjects are analyzed, broken up, and reassembled in an abstract form-instead of depicting objects from a single perspective, the artist depicts the subject from multiple perspectives to represent the subject in a greater context." Wiki
I have a question for Dr Peterson: tell me please: Have you read Rudolph Otto's book on the Idea of the Holy? Thanking you in advance, Ben (Québec, Canada)
I have noticed the bush issue in games before but my dumbass is just annoyed that I can't see, never even crossed my mind that it was an artifact of 2d representation of a 3d world
ya, but if your in a bush you still have that issue of trying to see out just like the game, the leaves don't magickly stay out of one eye. and in alot of games their are not real leaves, just sprites.
It's also based on whether you're predator or prey. Rabbits need panoramic vision in order to escape predators stalking them. Predators have forward facing vision to focus on their prey at long distances
I have struggled to understand evolution: but on a high level, there are infinite possibilities. You could have 6 fingers or much better or worse vision or smell senses, like animals, or any other random combination possible, as long as it allows you to survive.
Humans have a bigger brain to body ratio, so more computing power, and they can analyse the world in more detail, otherwise many animals will beat humans in pretty much all other aspects.
How does evolution happen? Following is my theory, don't know if it's correct: you have 2 parents, 4 grand parents, perhaps billions of ancestors if you go 5000 or 1 million generations. If any random mutation in each one of them, and if the better mutation has higher chances of survival, then slowly it will start adding up. Does it make sense? Don't know how it works on DNA levels etc.
Perhaps we could also learn from others to evolve. For ex: I have no direct relation with the guy who invented electricity. But my life evolved from his "mutation". So perhaps it works like this for many other things. Like the eye sees something cool, and the brain figures out a way to replicate it, even inside body. Just a random idea, don't know if it is true.
For your eyes theory, I read that mantis can see millions of more colors or something. They have some extra "cones" in their eyes. There are infinite possibilities. Perhaps we could have many extra cones, and we could see billions of more colors, or whatever. There is no limit.
5:50 this actually has something to do with what I'm studying atm. What if the reason people have issues with functional evolutionary explanations for the purpose of human attributes is because they subconsciously tie it in with witchcraft or some other form of perceived manipulation in interaction? The foundational principle of performing witchcraft is manipulation or domination, so what if humans came to conceptualize manipulating or dominating other humans as synonymous with witchcraft or generally exerting your will upon realms you have no dominion in? Even more so, because we're extremely religious in nature, what if humans experience distrust when they perceive that the institution is replacing God with the programmatization of the spiritual reality? Basically, what if this phenomenon occurs because our will replaces the spiritual with programs of the spiritual?
100%. If you are to accept cybernetic theory of behavior or evolution as a 'rationally optimizing' system, every element in the system has a function, if you dont know what it does you dont have enough data. The problem with empiricism is it requires observation but what needs to be observed is the conscious experience of the person. Eastern models of consciousness bear far more fruit in this respect, like energy channels etc. But if you go there the western academics will think youre a nut. Take intuition for example, it's like a crystallized reactive form of the subconscious, encoded beyond the complexity language can model.
If we could figure out the precise conditions and factors that lead to a given feature evolving, it would be the biggest breakthrough in medicine, psychology and science in general. Unfortunately, it seems impossible, even with a time machine!
Nope, you misunderstand what stereoscopy is. Stereoscopy tells you how far the particular leaf is, this ability here is the _exact opposite,_ it discards the leaf entirely. In most cases there's nothing (at least: of importance) behind it and THAT's the valuable information. With stereoscopy if you have nothing, no [useful] objects in your field of vision, it's completely useless.
@vmasing1965 Perhaps, yeah. The relevant Merriam-Webster definition is just "the seeing of objects in three dimensions," but the etymology implied a more general definition relating to the use of two eyes/cameras/etc. to infer more information about the world.
For those of you wondering about the X-ray thing, they’re not meaning that literally. But basically, if you hold your finger up in front of you, and then focus on the wall _behind_ it, you will see two fingers and they will be semi-transparent, like an X-ray vision. Peace. 🌸
My telling half-smirk is always facing the person, so annoying. Yet now helpful when I see this written all over my sweet granddaughters adorable fibbing little face
I am in the technical trades, and my eye is better at detecting misalignment and level as well as metallurgical composition than most guys using equipment. It seems to be a mixture of objectivity and self trust. The eye detecting photons is not so different from a sensor detecting a laser
Eyes are one of the most complex things to get right in the body. It's always been curious to me how many have eye imperfections. You'd think evolutionary wise, it'd be darn imporant to get that right every time or you're food.
Maybe seeing at the front and at the back at the same time will need much more computation energy with minimal impact? It looks like an efficient design here with a well-thought value engineering
I'm very interested in psychic visions. I'm not a fan of numerology and medium, but it amazes me that psychics are helpful in solving crime investigations.
@Paul.Wise.7 i don't know the answers to your questions. All I know is that some people are gifted or are more in tune to their inner self that they can do impossible things. What I'm saying is, some people have more developed senses and they are useful for solving crime investigations. I don't know the answers to all your questions, we don't know but we believe because we see them(psychics) do things beyond what an average person cannot.
@Paul.Wise.7 answer from Microsoft AI: To answer your second question, composite numbers cannot exist without prime numbers. This is because composite numbers are essentially formed by multiplying prime numbers together. For instance: • The composite number 6 can be expressed as (2 \times 3) (both primes). • The composite number 12 can be expressed as (2 \times 2 \times 3) (all primes).
@Paul.Wise.7 do you understand people can see things we don't see and they can solve crime mysteries faster than most police do? This is not my job to judge the abilities of psychics when they can provide quick solutions to cases that have gone cold for years and the victims must be served justice...If psychics can help the police force expedite the crime investigations, and they present clear and factual pieces of evidence beyond what the police could've gathered, i'm open-minded to every possibility, even if I don't really believe that people do have supernatural gifts or whatever you call it.
@Paul.Wise.7 and i don't know who you exactly want to point out here when you refer to 'pride'....of course, we have pride. We think we are humble in the way we say things, behave with people, etc., but others may look at us and ridicule us as 'condescending'... No matter how careful we take care of our image, people will always have opinion about us and everything.
This is 100% serious. Me and about 13 friends were on a type of psylosibin that grows in the UK and 12 of us could see our 13th friend who was sat separate to the rest of us in thermal vision. I was already seeing it but purposely saying nothing, when a friend exclaimed, "look, Lee looks like in Preditor". 1 by 1 the others agreed and could all see the same. I remember it vividly. I KNOW we are capable of it and at some stage in our evolution used it. I read a book once about TB babies and how some were born with scales and others with feathers as it effects the cromasones. I think it's because all of the knowledge from our evolution is still stored in the DNA and is probably accessible in some way.
I saw a red sensor in my phone last night a few times - and it could let tell in a way - based on what felt like me controlling my pupils - “chemistry of colors” - very cool stuff - we could get so much stuff if we all got into stuff like that
I heard an interesting concept that living things or animals evolve just what they need to survive in their environment, but not much more. We may not be able to read minds or have eyes on the back or our heads but our subconscious is always picking up on cues in our environment. I'm sure some people have a better developed part of their brains that gives them a better "Spidey sense" of their environment just like some people are gifted runners. Both abilities would help you avoid danger.
I have questions about the argument that "x-ray" vision (detection of objects in a cluttered field) is what evolves human eyes to one side of the head, more so than for stereoscopic vision. Stereoscopic vision is the actual thing that gives us cluttered field detection. Cluttered field detection is like another way of saying range detection. And range detection is another way of saying stereoscopic vision. I'm just not sure of why/how they're discussed as being different things. I've listened through this talk twice. I suppose I should go listen to the whole podcast and may find my answer there, but the path of least resistance primate side of me decided to ask here instead. :).

I know if i want to see better in low light I look next to what I want to see. About 10-20 degrees off. You have to train the brain to focus on something your not looking directly at.
Micro-expressions in the face of humans is very complex, even the expression inside the eyes themselves give impressions. Not to mention people who have had telepathic experiences, report that the unspoken message is given through staring of the eyes. So the obvious answer to humans and how forward our eyes is, can be explained by focus on a specific task, if you have a smaller field of view, you brain power can be focused more intently on a smaller area. Humans are built for technology, and there is research that humans were co-opted to be machine interfaces by the Annunaki, because the Annunaki knew how taxing and biologically degrading this was to do. Whereas humans were expendable. Humans dont fit in on planet earth compared to other species for numerous reasons, and have a gift with technology because its how we were made by our creators, the Annunaki.
The point being made about the placement, and it’s purpose of design, of the eyes of a rabbit (seeing everything at once) reminds me of the horse’s eyes; whose placement is much the same, only that the horse’s behind sight is magnified. Prey animals..?
Genuine smiles aren’t hard for everyone. I’ve been doing it undetectably since I heard this was a thing. Some people can’t see the soap opera effect. That’s weird. When i hear people say it requires training to make a fake smile that looks read i feel very smug.
Forward facing eyes might also be because of Identity and social cues as he alluded to with the other stuff.That seems to be an even better explanation.
Why would you need 2 eyes at once to see the social cues? Is there a stereoscopic effect to your blush? Or eye movement? You didn't really think it through now did you?
Its not about the receiving part in this case but the signaling value to the other parts of the group, the ability to "look into the others eyes", and also I think it helps with identity, its easier for a strong purposefull identity if you dont take in the whole world around you. Way to go with insults...
@@newdrug1880 The question I asked now qualifies as insult? That's new. Unless you have skewed eyes each looking at different direction one eye is quite enough to determine where you're looking. You still didn't bother to think it through. Don't look at me, it's all you...
@@vmasing1965 No the insult was the insult... If you listen to what was said in the video it's basically all about communication, signaling and community, which turned out to be an enourmous evolutionary step. You even said "don't look at me", we signal with our eyes. I don't care if you get this idea so f%ck off.
Hands are ment to climb same as flat feet same with foward facing eyes its for dept perception , enhanced focus without distraction to judge distance between branches ect its not that complicated
This always puzzles me when people try to explain the eye by evolution: What could the v 0.1 of an eye have been? It must have been pretty advanced right from the start. A bad eye would give no advantage in competition and therefore would not get better.
wait what? forward facing eyes is obviously for binocular/3d vision that isn't even in question. the bird example is a perfect one because what we call birds of prey have forward facing eyes while other birds tend to have eyes on the side of their head for increased field of view for predator detection. you need forward facing eyes to track targets in 3 dimensions with high speed and accuracy. fish use other senses to track targets underwater
He suggested that it might be a secondary effect. You can also gain depth perception by moving your head back in forth. So he suggests that depth perception wasnt the main driver. The main driver would be the ability to see through foliage where one eye might be blocked by some leaves, the other eye can see around them. Thia gives you more ability to see beyond and around the foliage, offering a significant advantage

I've been out of the loop for a while - its so great to be back listening to intelligent people discuss interesting things that they actually know about! And JP's suit is very nice too.
This is so interesting. All of my life, whenever I'm mad or really upset my face turns beat red and so does my chest. I hate it. Because there's no way to mask my feelings at that time. It's so bad that people have repeatedly asked me what was happening. And I don't know many people who have it as bad as me.

You realize they are talking about evolution right? Forward facing eyes evolved from when we were monkeys living in trees.
@@brantheman13 interested in this concept. How did the trait of optical complexity microevolve if a structural change in the cell structure overall requires several mutations in the DNA sequence / genome simultaneously for a substantial delta in the biological structural with unguided direction (observationally which causes no survival benefit, but rather malignant structural function to the organism), I wonder? I am not saying I have the answer to this, I ask coming from a humble opinion. What say you, my friend?
@@pa.l.2499 he has zero clue what you're talking about. He only knows what the Marxist education system told him.
@@pa.l.2499 Ah you miss my point. Im not the one trying to deny creationism... Jordan is... watch 1:10 in the video again... they are talking about evolution this entire video.

Blushing is important. Those without shame are as dangerous as people with black sclera.
This is interesting. It reminds me of my recent talk i had with my youngest in deer hunting for his first youth hunt. I told him whatever you do dont stare into the deers eyes when he sees one we may want to harvest. Especially a big buck. There is a thing called buck fever and i was taught that you get fixed on the rack lol and lose focus on the shot. I've realized over the years that it's not the rack, but really, you're staring into the eyes, anticipating his next actions through the deers eyes. So i tell my boys to not look at the deers eyes but to only look in one small spot where you want the bullet to go. If and when the deer presents a good shot then he is ready to go. You can get in a trance staring at eyes and doesn't help with the calming down to make a good shot.
Aim small, miss small...
" harvest"..no " kill "....
@stewartgillis4851 only idiots say going to kill. We eat these animals. We harvest them. Welcome to the real world
@stewartgillis4851 congratulations you figured out what harvesting an animal is. Lol, it wasn't a riddle. Adults don't say going to kill. It's not war. It's dinner. To say I harvested a deer is common practice for seasoned hunters.
That's a fascinating story! It's interesting how the idea of focusing on a small spot rather than the whole animal can be applied to different situations in life. Sometimes, in our daily challenges, we can get fixated on one aspect-whether it's an outcome, a problem, or a fear-and lose sight of what really matters. Have you ever experienced a moment in life where focusing on just one small thing helped you overcome a bigger challenge? How do you think this approach can be applied beyond hunting?
I lived with a blind person a longtime ago and I was curious if he blushed when embarrassed. And yes he did. It would seem from my sighted perspective that he would have had an advantage of "hiding" by not seeing the people that he was doing something embarrassing infront of.
I learned a lot about spirituality through hermeticism and Theosophy and I think that our inner self recognizes it, when someone is paying attention to us, for our thoughts, feelings and desires are forces that play inside us and outside of us.
The feeling of being watched, wich leads you to turn around and see someone walking far behind you. Thats why a good detective knows that he has to look on the feet, for if he looks too long at the head, or upper body, the person under surveillance will turn around and feel it.
I don´t think that we just physically know when we are looked at, but that it is a bit deeper.
Sypathetic vibration is important in this regard. Man has more senses and more conciousness than it is acknowledged.
I have been outside my body, I had experiences in rudimentary clairvoyance (Unintentional remote-viewing) and therefore know that you are more than flesh and blood.
The body and its brain are merely instruments for the inner life and are better, if tuned properly.
Frequency is the key and a healthy and fit body is an instrumant wich has little distortion and noise for the inner self
The cardinal purpose to the hand is so you don't fall out of the tree, because that leads to all sorts of bad things. Every animal with opposable thumbs is arboreal.
So you're one of those "HIGHLY evolved" primates huh?
@@aranosaranos they certainly do climb trees, often nesting and foraging for fruits, and evading predators.
Same with flat feet if not why wouldnt we have hoofs ? Hoofs are more efficient in every way except climbing trees lol or forward facing eyes you need it for dept perception for distances between branches also it allows more focus and less distractions
@@aranosaranos I wasn't aware that possums and foxes only recently evolved
Hands are for handling. Duh
It makes sense. We'll effectively "see through" leaves because of the differing angles of the eyes, allowing one eye to observe what the other eye cannot, which gives us a much larger volume of space to observe at one point. I get I'm just restating his point, but I think simplifying it (perhaps too much) helps people understand.
Thankyou! That many is highly intelligent & sometimes intelligence translates into more complex terms! 😬
Stereoscopy is also a precondition for throwing projectiles accurately
Rabbits could throw projectiles accurately, you don't need wide field for that task.
Because lions and tigers and bears are so good at throwing things huh?
@@mrjamesgrimes Because predators need to accurately judge the distance in order to know how far to jump on their prey. Also primates need to accurately judge the distance to another branch.
A precondition? It's just called having depth perception.. You can have one eye and still be accurate. It would just take getting used to. I knew someone with one eye who still drove a car just fine.
@@Dankmangolion have you ever tried shooting a bow or firing a gun? It's not the same as driving a car.
Hitting a bullseye is a matter of centimeters over a distance of tens of meters, while driving doesn't require the same level of precision unless you're parking in a very tight spot.
Funnily enough it actually took me, probably being on the spectrum, years to realize that I could infer someone's attention by following their gaze over their body language.
Because what someone is looking at as they speak is actually a lot more precise than any hand movements or gestures they might use.
Me being also a very visual thinker I always thought that by someone's hand gestures they were trying to draw out what they were meaning to convey and that their gaze would track to the imaginary space wherein the demonstration was being held.

❤❤❤❤❤ Did Jordan just use the word hypothesis instead of theory?!!! Sir, you are a treat to hear speak.
Perhaps we have two forward-facing eyes because we can use them to look into each others’ eyes (love, loyalty, trust) which blocks out the surrounding world for both partners in that moment. And we read other people’s minds by staring at the eyes and at the same time know the other person is also doing the same thing back.
Good thinking
Sometimes I think my wife is nocturnal lol. She has grey eyes almost clear and is from northern Sweden. I can't see sht at night and she can literally see in the dark. It creeps me the hell out.
On the flip side people with brown eyes are less affected by glare and tend to have better long distance vision

I learned about fake smiles don't include the eyes when I was a kid. I can fake smile with the best of them now.
Those with normal color vision really can't relate at all to those of us with alternate color vision. I have a red-green issue. I don't see less colors, I see thousands of colors. My perception is shifted. I struggle with some shades but I can see other colors that regular people cannot. There are tests that we can see that other people cannot. Supposedly we also see better at night.
Studies also show you detect camouflage easier than regular sighted people. Some have theorized it may have been an adaptive trait for some ppl to have this night/camo vision in a tribe for example.
@carsonhunt4642 maybe certain types but not generally. Tiger Stripe, I think yes. Desert yes. ACU maybe, not sure. Forest no. Multicam no. Although in the two wars I served our enemies usually didn't wear nature camouflage because they were trying to blend into the normal population.
Night vision and color receptors are not related. Can appear concurrently or not but those are completely different, indpendent mechanisms.
@vmasing1965 Maybe; no one has studied it adequately. I think it's not seen as Important enough to get much financing for research. That is why I included 'supposedly'. However when running around in the woods at night, I see good enough that I can run at a slow pace when others with me say they can't see anything. At the same time, maybe it is just a skill I developed from growing up on thousands of acres of forested land.
@@VeteranExpat I also have significantly better nightvision than anyone I know and I happen to have completely standard color vision variant.
Besides, we do know the receptors are different, so there is enough research to at least establish the basics.

Excellent discussion! Thank you.
In regards to blushing - something I’ve noticed, as someone who blushes (and used to get/have rosey cheeks very easily - now not as much)
I’ve noticed I’m more likely to blush in front of a loved one, like close family and/or a partner or a date.
If I’m in a setting where it’s important for me to not show weakness, I’m much less likely to blush
Same
This fits with the symbolic interpretation of the human eye from the book: “Eye of God: Language of Universal Mind” which came out recently which says the eye is a symbol of the sun, the Earth, and a black hole. It sounded so crazy at first, but as a scientist who actually taught experimental methods it’s literally the most mind-blowing thing I’ve ever read. To me it was actual evidence of god. Thank you for this excellent interview and sharing it with all of us. ❤❤❤👁️❤️❤️❤️
Our behaviors are much older than we think.
Giving up running away faster from predators on 4 paws, to walking upright to use our hand's versatility, perhaps was the effect of highly evolved community protection that protected its individuals (many separate civilizations carved a man holding 2 beasts by the throat at his arms lengths to his sides) from harm, and to the belief and enrollment of its members, and this happened as early as 4 million years ago! There is much more to every assertion if we knew when and knew more about conditions present then.
Seems like there is a much more simple reason being that hands are evolved to climb trees - all monkeys have hands, even species of monkeys that dont defend each other
Yea that's clearly not the cause but at least you tried.
@@brantheman13 Yes. In evolutionary theory this is called pre-adaptation. Where a trait evolves for one purpose (climbing) that leads to another adaptation pathway, (tool making and tool use). The visual detail achieved by doubling the surface area receiving light enables the creation of finely crafted tools and the more effective use of those tools.

I've seen through my eyelids a handful of times. I was hoping the title had to do with that. This wasn't a dream or vision from God. I've had those before in prayer and such. These experiences happen when I get in just the right relaxed mindset. When you're just chilling and as soon as u recognize it happening, you can look around and observe everything as if your eyes are open. But you feel your eyes moving under your lids. It's wild. But just like anything extra sensory, when you think about it or examine it too hard, you pop back out of the experience. It seems to just happen, but you can't make it happen, which is frustrating😊
That's akin to Astral travel and you're right on the edge of discovering it on your own. Keep going, be safe tho. Gotta build an Astral home and all that other stuff. Don't forget to pop back in and eat every once in a while!
@newfreenayshaun6651 Actually, I've experienced astral travel/projection. Along with the hatman, shadowmen, and all of the demonic stuff that can happen. That was back in my hipster/ witchy youth. This was different. I'm Christian, so I don't venture into the astral realm. It's dangerous. We shouldn't be crossing the veil without God's permission and/or being taken there by Him or an angelic being. That's my just my experience. The bad vibes and anxiety experienced right before you pop out of your body... .the stuff you're told to push through.....its a warning. Now, I will say, what I experienced felt more akin to remote viewing.
Really??
Please tell me more about this
If you’re a Bible-believing Christian, then astral projection is not to be messed with. Doreen Virtue’s recent video on Oprah, New Age, and New Thought will explain why.

What an absolutely fascinating discussion! The driver of the properties of human characteristics is a incredible topic. I had read recently that humans have more hair follicles than chimpanzees and it's now understood that the body hair we have is a cooling advantage (sweat is held in place by the tiny short hair follicles), most likely possibly the result of "running down game" which also changed our posture and likely resulted in our hair shortening over a large portion of our bodies. This is the first time eyesight has been so well explained to me.
The blushing on stage example was amazing if proven. I don't know about the placement of the eyes due to bushes. I'm rationalizing for my own belief of course but the predator/prey explanation seems much more valid. Fish? Surely they are at least as much prey as predator. Same with birds. And obviously a theory doesn't mean 'always'. Because we can point out exceptions doesn't disprove a theory. I've put his theory into my knowledge bank however and it might make more sense to me as my knowledge increases.

I have noticed the bush issue in games before but my dumbass is just annoyed that I can't see, never even crossed my mind that it was an artifact of 2d representation of a 3d world
ya, but if your in a bush you still have that issue of trying to see out just like the game, the leaves don't magickly stay out of one eye. and in alot of games their are not real leaves, just sprites.
Thank you so much for not using the word "literally" in the title.
It's also based on whether you're predator or prey. Rabbits need panoramic vision in order to escape predators stalking them. Predators have forward facing vision to focus on their prey at long distances
He discusses this, and explains why that doesn't explain why our eyes are so much more forward facing than most predators
Excellent, thanks
I have struggled to understand evolution: but on a high level, there are infinite possibilities. You could have 6 fingers or much better or worse vision or smell senses, like animals, or any other random combination possible, as long as it allows you to survive.
Humans have a bigger brain to body ratio, so more computing power, and they can analyse the world in more detail, otherwise many animals will beat humans in pretty much all other aspects.
How does evolution happen? Following is my theory, don't know if it's correct: you have 2 parents, 4 grand parents, perhaps billions of ancestors if you go 5000 or 1 million generations. If any random mutation in each one of them, and if the better mutation has higher chances of survival, then slowly it will start adding up. Does it make sense? Don't know how it works on DNA levels etc.
Perhaps we could also learn from others to evolve. For ex: I have no direct relation with the guy who invented electricity. But my life evolved from his "mutation". So perhaps it works like this for many other things. Like the eye sees something cool, and the brain figures out a way to replicate it, even inside body. Just a random idea, don't know if it is true.
For your eyes theory, I read that mantis can see millions of more colors or something. They have some extra "cones" in their eyes. There are infinite possibilities. Perhaps we could have many extra cones, and we could see billions of more colors, or whatever. There is no limit.
I know some really good actors.
Damn! JP goes deep!
5:50 this actually has something to do with what I'm studying atm. What if the reason people have issues with functional evolutionary explanations for the purpose of human attributes is because they subconsciously tie it in with witchcraft or some other form of perceived manipulation in interaction? The foundational principle of performing witchcraft is manipulation or domination, so what if humans came to conceptualize manipulating or dominating other humans as synonymous with witchcraft or generally exerting your will upon realms you have no dominion in? Even more so, because we're extremely religious in nature, what if humans experience distrust when they perceive that the institution is replacing God with the programmatization of the spiritual reality? Basically, what if this phenomenon occurs because our will replaces the spiritual with programs of the spiritual?
100%. If you are to accept cybernetic theory of behavior or evolution as a 'rationally optimizing' system, every element in the system has a function, if you dont know what it does you dont have enough data. The problem with empiricism is it requires observation but what needs to be observed is the conscious experience of the person. Eastern models of consciousness bear far more fruit in this respect, like energy channels etc. But if you go there the western academics will think youre a nut. Take intuition for example, it's like a crystallized reactive form of the subconscious, encoded beyond the complexity language can model.
If we could figure out the precise conditions and factors that lead to a given feature evolving, it would be the biggest breakthrough in medicine, psychology and science in general. Unfortunately, it seems impossible, even with a time machine!
Careful....that eugenist speak......
Soooooo, it actually IS about stereoscopy, but just the specific subcase of using it to see through small visual clutter...
Nope, you misunderstand what stereoscopy is. Stereoscopy tells you how far the particular leaf is, this ability here is the _exact opposite,_ it discards the leaf entirely. In most cases there's nothing (at least: of importance) behind it and THAT's the valuable information. With stereoscopy if you have nothing, no [useful] objects in your field of vision, it's completely useless.
@vmasing1965 Perhaps, yeah. The relevant Merriam-Webster definition is just "the seeing of objects in three dimensions," but the etymology implied a more general definition relating to the use of two eyes/cameras/etc. to infer more information about the world.
For those of you wondering about the X-ray thing, they’re not meaning that literally. But basically, if you hold your finger up in front of you, and then focus on the wall _behind_ it, you will see two fingers and they will be semi-transparent, like an X-ray vision. Peace. 🌸

Eyes are one of the most complex things to get right in the body. It's always been curious to me how many have eye imperfections. You'd think evolutionary wise, it'd be darn imporant to get that right every time or you're food.
Human culture allows for bad eyes, bad teeth and the elderly. Society is an evolved trait.
Maybe seeing at the front and at the back at the same time will need much more computation energy with minimal impact? It looks like an efficient design here with a well-thought value engineering
I'm very interested in psychic visions. I'm not a fan of numerology and medium, but it amazes me that psychics are helpful in solving crime investigations.
@Paul.Wise.7 i don't know the answers to your questions. All I know is that some people are gifted or are more in tune to their inner self that they can do impossible things. What I'm saying is, some people have more developed senses and they are useful for solving crime investigations. I don't know the answers to all your questions, we don't know but we believe because we see them(psychics) do things beyond what an average person cannot.
@Paul.Wise.7 answer from Microsoft AI:
To answer your second question, composite numbers cannot exist without prime numbers. This is because composite numbers are essentially formed by multiplying prime numbers together. For instance:
• The composite number 6 can be expressed as (2 \times 3) (both primes).
• The composite number 12 can be expressed as (2 \times 2 \times 3) (all primes).
@Paul.Wise.7 do you understand people can see things we don't see and they can solve crime mysteries faster than most police do? This is not my job to judge the abilities of psychics when they can provide quick solutions to cases that have gone cold for years and the victims must be served justice...If psychics can help the police force expedite the crime investigations, and they present clear and factual pieces of evidence beyond what the police could've gathered, i'm open-minded to every possibility, even if I don't really believe that people do have supernatural gifts or whatever you call it.
@Paul.Wise.7 and i don't know who you exactly want to point out here when you refer to 'pride'....of course, we have pride. We think we are humble in the way we say things, behave with people, etc., but others may look at us and ridicule us as 'condescending'... No matter how careful we take care of our image, people will always have opinion about us and everything.
Have you heard about the See I A working with individuals who could remote view?
This is 100% serious. Me and about 13 friends were on a type of psylosibin that grows in the UK and 12 of us could see our 13th friend who was sat separate to the rest of us in thermal vision. I was already seeing it but purposely saying nothing, when a friend exclaimed, "look, Lee looks like in Preditor". 1 by 1 the others agreed and could all see the same. I remember it vividly. I KNOW we are capable of it and at some stage in our evolution used it. I read a book once about TB babies and how some were born with scales and others with feathers as it effects the cromasones. I think it's because all of the knowledge from our evolution is still stored in the DNA and is probably accessible in some way.
I saw a red sensor in my phone last night a few times - and it could let tell in a way - based on what felt like me controlling my pupils - “chemistry of colors” - very cool stuff - we could get so much stuff if we all got into stuff like that
It’s all about trust ✨
I heard an interesting concept that living things or animals evolve just what they need to survive in their environment, but not much more. We may not be able to read minds or have eyes on the back or our heads but our subconscious is always picking up on cues in our environment. I'm sure some people have a better developed part of their brains that gives them a better "Spidey sense" of their environment just like some people are gifted runners. Both abilities would help you avoid danger.
I have questions about the argument that "x-ray" vision (detection of objects in a cluttered field) is what evolves human eyes to one side of the head, more so than for stereoscopic vision. Stereoscopic vision is the actual thing that gives us cluttered field detection. Cluttered field detection is like another way of saying range detection. And range detection is another way of saying stereoscopic vision. I'm just not sure of why/how they're discussed as being different things. I've listened through this talk twice. I suppose I should go listen to the whole podcast and may find my answer there, but the path of least resistance primate side of me decided to ask here instead. :).

I know if i want to see better in low light I look next to what I want to see. About 10-20 degrees off. You have to train the brain to focus on something your not looking directly at.
Micro-expressions in the face of humans is very complex, even the expression inside the eyes themselves give impressions. Not to mention people who have had telepathic experiences, report that the unspoken message is given through staring of the eyes. So the obvious answer to humans and how forward our eyes is, can be explained by focus on a specific task, if you have a smaller field of view, you brain power can be focused more intently on a smaller area. Humans are built for technology, and there is research that humans were co-opted to be machine interfaces by the Annunaki, because the Annunaki knew how taxing and biologically degrading this was to do. Whereas humans were expendable. Humans dont fit in on planet earth compared to other species for numerous reasons, and have a gift with technology because its how we were made by our creators, the Annunaki.
nice, very interesting 👍
The point being made about the placement, and it’s purpose of design, of the eyes of a rabbit (seeing everything at once) reminds me of the horse’s eyes; whose placement is much the same, only that the horse’s behind sight is magnified.

Forward facing eyes might also be because of Identity and social cues as he alluded to with the other stuff.That seems to be an even better explanation.
Why would you need 2 eyes at once to see the social cues? Is there a stereoscopic effect to your blush? Or eye movement?
You didn't really think it through now did you?
Its not about the receiving part in this case but the signaling value to the other parts of the group, the ability to "look into the others eyes", and also I think it helps with identity, its easier for a strong purposefull identity if you dont take in the whole world around you.

You still didn't bother to think it through. Don't look at me, it's all you...
@@vmasing1965 No the insult was the insult... If you listen to what was said in the video it's basically all about communication, signaling and community, which turned out to be an enourmous evolutionary step. You even said "don't look at me", we signal with our eyes. I don't care if you get this idea so f%ck off.
Hands are ment to climb same as flat feet same with foward facing eyes its for dept perception , enhanced focus without distraction to judge distance between branches ect its not that complicated
People in the comments be like " I pLaY 1St sHoOtEr GaMeS aNd Am nOt a CyClOps!" And think they contribute to the conversation.
Blushing signifies being flustered or embarassed. It's a tell, benefitting only the observer of the condition.
This always puzzles me when people try to explain the eye by evolution: What could the v 0.1 of an eye have been? It must have been pretty advanced right from the start. A bad eye would give no advantage in competition and therefore would not get better.
Really interesting
Interesting. It's incredible to think how far back that forward facing eye evolved. Most apes and monkeys are like us and vis versa.
wait what? forward facing eyes is obviously for binocular/3d vision that isn't even in question. the bird example is a perfect one because what we call birds of prey have forward facing eyes while other birds tend to have eyes on the side of their head for increased field of view for predator detection. you need forward facing eyes to track targets in 3 dimensions with high speed and accuracy. fish use other senses to track targets underwater
He suggested that it might be a secondary effect. You can also gain depth perception by moving your head back in forth. So he suggests that depth perception wasnt the main driver. The main driver would be the ability to see through foliage where one eye might be blocked by some leaves, the other eye can see around them. Thia gives you more ability to see beyond and around the foliage, offering a significant advantage

Is there a technical term for that kind of X-ray phenomenon?
It's better to have great stereoscopic vision when dealing with traffic.
Humans also work in groups so one could look the other way and communicate and have clear vision all sides.
