Sadly, the reptile brain rules our society. To understand psychopathy, you must understand the reptilian brain. Google the work of Skip Largent and David Icke.
I like how our brains willingly wants to learn stuff about itself, so it might understand how it works. Yet, it works automaticly and knows the answer because It's doing what it does all the time. But it won't tell itself, so the brain researches itself.
@suckinspongebobs now why would you call me a faggot? Have I done anything to make you want to make a derogatory comment like that. And do you have any proof that the bible is false. And there are some famous scientists that do believe what the bible saids.
@stretch4859 According to science experts (esp. historians) Bible is something man made up, more precisely, it's a bunch of old Jewish myths, collected over multiple centuries. We have let go of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Viking mythology, how about letting go the rest of them and starting acting like the responsible, reasonable, logical creatures we are?
@carneyfex if you look up your history on science in books and on the internet you will find that there are some scientists, physcists included that believe that there is a God and believe what the bible has to say.
@stretch4859 Which is impressively irrelevant. Belief or disbelief of certain physicists or other people, for that matter, in itself does neither validate nor disprove anything concerning the existence of God, Jehovah, Allah, Vishnu, Zeus, Odin or any other particular deity you fancy. The only thing that is important is objective evidence, and it points at Bible being nothing more than a book of Jewish mythology, no different from any other ancient mythology, long discarded by humanity.
@carneyfex science has never disproven the bible or explain how and why the events in the bible actually happen, oh they had their theories but as unable to convincingly prove their theory. don't get me wrong science is good if not for the understanding of electromagnetism they wouldn't have invented the radio, television or computer, if not for the understanding of thermodynamics the automobile wouldn't have been invented. but everyone has their beliefs so will leave it at that just beliefs.
@stretch4859 "science has never disproven the bible or explain how and why the events in the bible actually happen" Then, evidently, you have been living under a rock, because most of the book has been proven to be markedly unhistorical, inconsistent with other sources, archaeological evidence and even inconsistent with itself. There are some reflections of actual events in it, just like there is some historicity to Greek myths, but mostly Bible is but a work of human imagination.
@carneyfex archaeology has revealed that the cities in the bible actually existed and some during Jesus time, don't know where you got your information from, but I follow these documentaries on the bible and science and the documentaries that talk about the cities as well. so like I said science has never disproven the bible. and if you do some digging you will find that king david and king solomon of the bible were historical figures
CARL SAGAN - "Almost no one attempts to educate themselves on the basics of science and technology, yet our society is based on these. TV takes up far too much of our time and is apparently much more attractive to most of us than the beauty and wonder of science. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces." - CARL SAGAN
@MrSmartass933 Why would anyone in their right mind listen to a person on YouTube who has the grammatical skills of a 4th grader? Why would anyone in their right mind listen to a person on YouTube anyways?
Watching this video is so weird and seemingly fractal or circular. When I watch this video, my brain is thinking about itself. And when I think about how my brain is thinking about itself, my brain is thinking about how it's thinking about itself. ETC.
You want to know why this stupid country is in the mess its in? Because this video only has 225k views and Justine bieber's video has nearly 1 Billion views!
@SimMonkey Do it, get homeschooled. Never let schooling get in the way of your education. That's what I started doing this year since I was so fed up with the public school system, I feel like it's one of the best decisions I've ever made!
I like how he swallows after saying "....where matter is turned into consciosness." lol As if matter could make consciousness!!! lol Oh Carl, it is not the thoughtless that creates the thoughtful. It is the thoughtful that creates the thoughtless. So simple, but still so far away for so many. The brain is but an interface. It is like a pair of dark sunglasses for the eyes. VERY dark sunglasses.
And yet the social contexts of today, incline the individual to habitually entertain themselves with lies and ends up enticing their most ignoble emotions. This would lead a significant population to once more be at the mercy of the reptilian brain. I say it's a deliberate attempt by certain groups to gain greater control over the human population.
We should stop funding this international penis-waving we call "science". Technology should only serve one goal: to improve the quality of life for our species on the only planet we'll ever live (Earth). We are now heading in to a moral and spiritual dark ages because of the unquestionable dogmas of "science". Children are dying, people. Forget your star trek fantasies.
Also, Carl Sagan smoked weed and encouraged other people to do so. Irresponsible and sets a bad example for children.
@Intelectual95 we are in a moral and spiritual dark age, because of religion, stupidity and supersticion, Carl smoked Weed, that's why i love him, and the reason i became a great fan of sagan, we smoke the same stuff, and it's great
Earlier I was playing Minecraft, I made simple RS NOR latches, each capable of storing one bit of data.
With two of them I was able to create a railway station with three different destinations to choose from. You would press a button (emitting a 1 second ON signal), and the RS NOR would store it, remembering where you wanted to go.
The RS NOR of the brain are neurons, and the buttons are our senses.
To think that the human brain has about 100 billion neurons... It's a truly remarkable machine.
think how crazy the fact that your brain know a lot of thing and is such complexe thing that allow us to have though is actualy knowing nothing on is on self unlesse we learn it
@boltjet135 The next layer probably won't be evolutionary, but artificial. We may be able to fuse our technology with our brain... We already have, for example, memory cells (in circuitry), maybe we could wire them to our brain. We could add more of these artificial neutrons, enabling us to remember more than we ever have before.
@myromeodude123 I had a thought last week when reading about the LHC perhaps being able to create "mini big bangs" and I imagined out universe being in the LHC of an alien race whose universe is in an LHC etc etc. Imagine of that was true?
@FmMan33 don't know that one, I 've read a few Terry Pratchett books (currently only up to Sourcery) but will keep my eye out for it. I assume it's as funny as the rest.
@myromeodude Given what we know about space-time and our own universe, we couldn't be a part of another universe. According to physics, we cannot co-exist in another universe. However, we(our universe) may exist as a grain of sand in the infiniteness of the multi or omniverses.
@myromeodude123 I had the same thought... Only I thought we were an atom in somebodies sweatshirt in a larger universe, and that universe is an atom in a larger one, and that one an atom in an even larger on. And so on a so forth... I was high.
I think I remember reading in Biology that life is defined as organisms that locomote to to find food and to find a mate to reproduce to carry on the species. We humans make it so complicated....
@myromeodude123 what they taught you in biology doesnt mean its true half the stuff i learnt at school aswell as half the stuff is actually taught at school is complete bull, and especially in classes like science alot of things are opinion in which they tell you is fact, same with history class alot of it we can never even know is true yet they present as 100 percent fact
We are our brains. We have no free will. We are simply animals living out our lives, making actions based on our biology, genetics and past experiences.
Carl Sagan is possibly the smartest man of the 20th century. Or even the 2nd milennia. You cant exaggerate how intelligent and well spoken this guy is.
@jigglyfidda125 I don't think so, Tim. While he's pretty damn smart, he hasn't really contributed to the progression of scientific discovery. He's only produced interesting documentaries and TV shows.
I'm not sure that he is the most intelligent, but rather the best communicator of science to the public.
He definitely is very well spoken, which is a form of intelligence, but I would argue that he most definitely is not the smartest man of the 20th century.
@manco82 Why? Because he proposed the scenario of a nuclear winter? Sagan just wanted to point out the dangers and responsibilities that come with our level of technological development. Apart from that he was an optimist who put every bit of confidence in humanitiy's ability to develop and to evolve. He was very passionate about scientific and ethical progress. I would hardly call that a typical doom monger.
Wait what? 2nd milennia, really? Do'nt wanna go too for because 'of the 20th' century is already hilarious, Einstein alone has contributed tons more than this guy with his 'perfect' haircut and suit.
@jigglyfidda125 20th century I'd agree with, but I can't agree with the the milenia part. Johanas Guttenburg already has that position, with the greatest invention ever. The Printing press.
@jigglyfidda125 Errr..He was an excellent scientist with a natural talent for explaining and enlightening..But he's no Einstein, quite literally. Many many theorists didn't have the time or the charisma to bother with us joe soaps. You simply can't claim that Sagan is comparable to life-dedicated theorists and geniuses of physics.
@sangolt88 A similar question would be, if the each connection of our neurons represented 2 bits of information, would we be twice as intelligence? I say we would be, if every other factor remained constant.
@Lucuskane We'll have to wait until we are able to transplant an artificial reversed engineered brain that is as you say with 2 bits, then that brain can give us the answer to that and everything else.
@Lucuskane Defo. Even more brilliant your response, an exponential rate of growth in intelligence would occur, would solve so manny problems in one life time.
@nattybro92 I am too, but don't be mistaken, we can make ourselves even smarter, if we all really want to. Go beyond the years it takes to learn a few fields of sciennce.
who created the brain? cells did I guess, then who told the cells to create the brain and how to do it. It would take at least another 500 years for the humans to make something close to our brains, how can simple life forms be able to make our brain and our body, guess they have universities and study for years. I don't really know anything about the brain but it doesn't make any sense to me that the creator of our bodies would be tiny life forms.
There does not "have" to be a creator. However, if you feel the need of a diety surpassing human capabilities while still wishing to maintain your rational thought and not succumb to the social governing monotheisms (i.e. christianity, judeism and islam), consider this.
One interpretation of the creational myths in norse mythology suggests that the gods evolved from cosmic matter and then in turn forced and directed the course of evolution. There's your middle ground, stand on it.
There must be a part of human that still is at the mercy of the reptilian brain, ther seems to be some talk about reptilian humans on other u tube sites. This could be the reason for it.
Please.. don't be so amazed about your brain as it doesn't stand by itself.. it is a perfect circuit with all the required elements or components but no body (NO BODY) can tell me it is completed an will ever be.. it is in fact the mother's board and it is all arranged in way that you most find a center sooner or later.. now that center it is not in the brain itself.. why are you so arrogant.. you will find it in Mother Nature as you accept this Truth of been part of and becomes The One for Her.
Do tell. What are the characteristics of this 'energy'? Is it transmitted as a wave or particle? What kind of wavelength does it have? Why phenomena does it explain that isn't already observed to be explained by existing energy?
when was this filmed? It's amazing how much science has progressed since then that he's so outdated now.. even with stuff like epigenetics, where instead of the "musty bindings of our gene library, where hardly a word changes in a century," we have found that gene expression can change permanently in response to the environment
I would like to recommend Carl Sagan's book "The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence" to anyone who enjoyed this video.
centillion is a number with 600 zeroes, by the way. Yep, that's right, I really do not have any belief at all that science, given enough time, will allow us to create our own universes. We will always be real fucking confused about something or another
Does anyone know what Carl means by "what it's put in to our brains" at 10:36. Is he referring to control over the sub cortical brain structures?

Carl Sagan is possibly the smartest man of the 20th century. Or even the 2nd milennia. You cant exaggerate how intelligent and well spoken this guy is.

@jigglyfidda125 I don't think so, Tim. While he's pretty damn smart, he hasn't really contributed to the progression of scientific discovery. He's only produced interesting documentaries and TV shows.

@jigglyfidda125
I'm not sure that he is the most intelligent, but rather the best communicator of science to the public.
He definitely is very well spoken, which is a form of intelligence, but I would argue that he most definitely is not the smartest man of the 20th century.

@jigglyfidda125 I think Carl Sagan was too much of a doom-monger.
manco82 1 year ago
@manco82 Why? Because he proposed the scenario of a nuclear winter? Sagan just wanted to point out the dangers and responsibilities that come with our level of technological development. Apart from that he was an optimist who put every bit of confidence in humanitiy's ability to develop and to evolve. He was very passionate about scientific and ethical progress. I would hardly call that a typical doom monger.

@jigglyfidda125 20th century I'd agree with, but I can't agree with the the milenia part. Johanas Guttenburg already has that position, with the greatest invention ever. The Printing press.

@jigglyfidda125 Errr..He was an excellent scientist with a natural talent for explaining and enlightening..But he's no Einstein, quite literally. Many many theorists didn't have the time or the charisma to bother with us joe soaps. You simply can't claim that Sagan is comparable to life-dedicated theorists and geniuses of physics.

I wonder if our brain was to be twice as large, would it be twice as smart? :-)
sangolt88 1 year ago
@sangolt88 A similar question would be, if the each connection of our neurons represented 2 bits of information, would we be twice as intelligence? I say we would be, if every other factor remained constant.
Lucuskane 1 year ago
@Lucuskane We'll have to wait until we are able to transplant an artificial reversed engineered brain that is as you say with 2 bits, then that brain can give us the answer to that and everything else.
sangolt88 1 year ago
@Lucuskane Defo. Even more brilliant your response, an exponential rate of growth in intelligence would occur, would solve so manny problems in one life time.

who created the brain? cells did I guess, then who told the cells to create the brain and how to do it. It would take at least another 500 years for the humans to make something close to our brains, how can simple life forms be able to make our brain and our body, guess they have universities and study for years. I don't really know anything about the brain but it doesn't make any sense to me that the creator of our bodies would be tiny life forms.

There does not "have" to be a creator. However, if you feel the need of a diety surpassing human capabilities while still wishing to maintain your rational thought and not succumb to the social governing monotheisms (i.e. christianity, judeism and islam), consider this.
One interpretation of the creational myths in norse mythology suggests that the gods evolved from cosmic matter and then in turn forced and directed the course of evolution. There's your middle ground, stand on it.

Please.. don't be so amazed about your brain as it doesn't stand by itself.. it is a perfect circuit with all the required elements or components but no body (NO BODY) can tell me it is completed an will ever be.. it is in fact the mother's board and it is all arranged in way that you most find a center sooner or later.. now that center it is not in the brain itself.. why are you so arrogant.. you will find it in Mother Nature as you accept this Truth of been part of and becomes The One for Her.

It's amazing how much science has progressed since then that he's so outdated now.. even with stuff like epigenetics, where instead of the "musty bindings of our gene library, where hardly a word changes in a century," we have found that gene expression can change permanently in response to the environment
