  • pause the video at time. then drag the little circle to the beginning. look at his face LOL

  • you want us to "like" or "subscribe" - by this repeated end pattern, are you the same person from last video?

  • Such an obnoxious and annoying presentation that I turned it off right away. Smug and cocksure never know what they're talking about anyway. All ego...no substance. 

  • but yourself is the structure that makes the neurons act that way when they are present in the area...?

  • ...(cont) neurons to perform different tasks the more you will see this behaviour. People will more easily think far ahead but become more detached to their present self. My 2c.

  • ...(cont) that can only be disturbed by unforseen stimuli and by ourselves. An example: Say a carpenter is currently carving a chair, while he is doing it his mind is constantly imagining the final product (the chair) rather than focus on every minute action he makes. This process is closely linked with Heidegger's (german philosopher) idea that we are constantly projecting ourselves into the future and are phisically unable to live in the present. I also think that the more you train your...

  • Hey! I agree with most of what you said. You are basically trying to match physiological patterns in our brains with our concepts of what social interraction is, However, I think it may not be entirely true that we have any say on who we are "right now". Given a certain activity in your brain one should assume that we also have the ability to change it instantly. Which, I think, maybe too much to ask from our nervous system. I believe it has some sort of intrinsic inertia. ...

  • umm......Thanks for the insight

  • press 8 then 3

  • is that robitussin in the background?

  • I said this to a girl in a party and I had sex 15mins later.

  • I saw what you did there at 2:20 !

  • press 2 then 3

  • lol at the end :) OG put that in.

  • holy shit. i had to watch it a few times to get it all in. but this is awesome. I recently reached a turning point in my depression and this is basicly the mindset (1:40 - 2:05) I "accidentally" got myself into. so true. good stuff man. keep it coming =))) <3

  • who watches his vids purely to get confussed?

    

  • My opinion is that you most of the time talk too fast plus combined with that accent for me too hear correctly what you say

  • @DeanLeysen some profound shit

  • Pause it at 0:02 for a meditating Dean :)

  • so basically your saying that we don't have a soul.

  • trained penis at 1:23 lol

  • @tuzmo he said pianist you perverted 12 year old

  • But scientifically speaking, thinking of who you want to be right now would go by in even the slightest nanosecond, so that is still the past so thinking of who you want to be at all is gonna be in the past by the time you actually act, so in that case you would need to act imediatley without thought and some how alter your brain waves to be able to make the right moves while in action

  • yah we are the soul, not the body.

  • I want to be Furious and pick up some honeys!! 

  • Og vidz>Aight my people, Aight my people ...this returd >BOO-YEAH. good morning internets 

  • trained penis? .. OHH pianist. muhbad.

  • this whole video is just semantics. Lets get down to brass tacks here: Primordial Metaphysics.

  • When im in school and out of school im 2 different people >.< this is so true

  • Trained penists are better at playing piano?

  • @Thetwinkly pianists you deaf fuck

  • @MWizH i didnt read what Thetwinkly wrote, but i bet he wrote penis xD

  • @Thetwinkly Pianists, I think.

  • It`s never to late to be who u wanna be .

  • I am the only one that watched this twice to fully understand?

  • @MisterLepo no. i thought about watching it twice but then i said naaaah

  • @15godfather1 The only reason I watched it twice is because I liked it how he said that... "neuroaivasly activity". ... ... Btw, DeanLeysen... your argument is invalid... I drink, so I exist.

  • @MisterLepo i see. the thing is nobody really exists because the past is only in our memory and the future in our imagination in other words the only thing that exists is the present but the present continuously transforms into past, ergo the present does not exist, ergo we do not exist :P

  • @15godfather1 "present continuously transforms into past, ergo the present does not exist" false, the fact that present transforms into the past doesn'tmean that doesn't exist before was transformed into the past. But anyway the past also esists in the 5 th or 6th dimension (in theory)

  • @dumbnetworks i don't know about these dimensions. of course the present exists before transformed into past. but the time it exists is infinitely small. so it kinda doesn't exist. anyway we both got a point here and it will be very hard to agree on this. glad there still are people there that can talk about this stuff

  • @15godfather1  cool I'm with u bro :)

  • 0:52 ish... Saying we aren't the same person from one moment to the next is kind of silly, if a neuron isn't firing it's having a 0 input to the self fair enough but when I'm not using my right hand it doesn't stop being part of my body.

  • Shouldn't it be, who do you want to be 18ms ago.

  • lol doing your mom is just a matter of neural activity

  • dude, you seem like the guy that knows what he's saying. it's [subscribes you]

  • but doing the same things would be boring. you have to do different things to be human.

  • I find the idea of free will hard to believe because everything we do has some aspect of our brain involved and out brain is affected by physical things such as it is made from your parents' genes and their parents and so on, it is affected by input like the five senses. So everything we are doing can be linked back to the beginning and not necessarily just the big bang. But, I don't know for sure so I live as if I have a choice so i'm safe on both ends.

  • i like you

  • i always watch his videos three times

  • @kevinghislain Same here!

  • My mind has been blown.

  • I just arrested a guy for speeding in my highway

  • Well what do you mean by the activity in your brain? I beleive that what makes us who we are is our personal collection of memories. If you change the memories you change the personality.

  • "Doing your mom is just a matter of neural activity"!!! Dude..you're rude!

  • you are wrong on this one bro... the brain or its neurons do not define a person.. changing the brain does not change the person...it only change the motor of the body and how it process or absorb information of the outside world.

  • @IndigoChild215 in turn changing the person.

  • I used to be a keyboard warrior, then I took an arrow to the knee.

  • "Who I want to be right now"

  • @RIICHRIICHRIICH, Talking of Keyboard warriors. Take a look in a mirror.

  • In essence, I think you are right. But you could have elaborated, saying the 'process' or used highways you talk about form our habits, and our habits form our characters, or egos. Change your habits=Change your character=Change who you are. And how does memory fit into the equation? Surely we are not just what processes of our brains are going off right at this minute but rather the summation of all of the processes that our brains ever had? What do you think?

  • I realized the most important thing I could be doing right now is studying and not watching your videos. 

  • Such a good explanation.

  • @RIICHRIICHRIICH faggot

  • @BrettOfc I thought you was a rando' bruv, haha.

    Was ready to go keyboard warrior on your ass!

  • What ?

  • god now canu expalin what a dream is and why sometimes dreams come reality like in my case, and premonitions too please i want ur take on it. :)

  • Doing your mom is just a matter of neural activity. ULTIMATE PWND!

  • "Sweetheart I swear I never slept with her...in fact I've never slept with you, i don't even know who you are"

  • if i dont exist that means i can kill myself thanks gives me an excuse to do it

  • OGgurious? DAMN! Where is your hat?  8)

  • No! people... its not mind fuck... we live in matrix.

  • MIND.

    FUCKED!

  • following this way of thinking we somehow die every day going to sleep

  • awesome

    exactly - we as defined people are described by both the past and our personalities, (configurations in neural connections of brain), but the very ourself is only the present, conciousness of the moment

    keep up the good work

  • FUCKING AWESOME

  • urgh dean is so bad at science

  • the only people who disliked this vid are to stupid to understand it

  • Uhm....I.....*mind fizzles out*...

  • 16 people are themselves.

  • I was going to make a chemistry joke, but all the good ones Argon

  • I don't know i wanna be me ! I like myself !

  • Dean is correct,or should i say in the ball park.

  • lol. i started watching this as a 46 year old man, now im a 13 year old girl <3

  • @RHSSCHTV :))

  • haha "K, Y, and F": KY yours and mine, and F*&@. We know where your mind is, dean...or at least where mine is...

    

  • This guy combined philosophy and neurology while he was on cocaine and he vommites out a stream of misunderstandings and failed at the means to satisfy that crazy ending he led up to.

  • @lovingsingleton well.. for a 2 minute video... I think it made sense.

  • @dergan823 The only reason you can see all this stuff is because you're mind wants you to. It's what you're mind interprets. Ever watch the matrix? If our brain is just a series of electrical inputs (sight, sense, touch, smell) then it wouldn't be all that hard to replicate it. This is how I think we can achieve virtual reality, by making you're brain think you're in another world when you're really not. For all we know, we could be in a virtual reality right now.

  • Well. I've heard a lot, such as ourselves only being presence. Like, consciousness. All we TRULY are, all that anyone ever IS, TRULY, is consciousness/aliveness. As for everything else it's a game. The game of life. I've also heard that we are children of God, I've heard that we are Gods ourselves.

  • You are a leaf on the tree of humanity, a brief expression of a more fundamental truth.

  • ok...this is messed up but i understand somehow O.e

  • duuuuuuude..... that's deep

  • 'Identify and the self'? ಠ_ಠ

    Grammar nazis away!

  • Doing my mom? Of course it was there~.

  • I used to think that OG furious was awesome. These videos are awesome and make you think about life. Thanks for posting them.

  • i wanna be dean leysen

  • I think my highway has a traffic jam -___-

  • @TheGuider thats not even funny fuck off you dick

  • Be the change you wish to see in the world. word up.

  • its so frustrating that my english is not enough good for understanding is concepts..:(

    or even with a good english??

  • nice vid. check out gerald edelman if you want some hardcore musings on the physical basis for experience - he explores the thalamacortical loop and it`s role in consciouness as well as a concept known as `neural darwinism` which is fascinating in its own right.

    you can get most of his books along with pretty much any other scientific text over at librarydotnu

  • :/ i was actualy eating while watching this.

  • from an enlightened, spiritual perspective, the reason there is no self is because you are just the universe, a larger organism of interactions... all that you are is an interaction with ur environment, thus perception of a self is an illusion

  • Mindfucked, however i agree though.

  • @tallnlankyinc YES!

  • @deanleysen your sumwhat of a blessing

  • :)

  • ty for explaining the stuff about "people not existing". im dutch and looked up alot of articles ( in dutch ) about this, but never really understanded it, and now i watch ur video and i imidiately get it =D

  • the self exists, like each cellph exists. energy can neither b created nor destroyed, so that which animates u now carries on thru reincarnation. however much we may be like our siblings and parents, it's astounding how different we each are from each other, partic within families. this uniqueness is suppressed thru fascism, & fascion, which seeks to homogenize us all. if u knew som'n bout homo'n of milk, it's a scary thought (fragmentation). Assert democracy so diversity is embraced.

  • Dean, i love you! ... and i have a man crush on Furious....

  • WHAT BOOKS DO YOU READ?!?! MY LIBRARY AINT GOT SHIT!!!!!

  • whatever.

  • man, you should write an encyclopedia

  • you are more funny as Furious! thumbs up if true

  • HOW THE HELL ARE YOU NOT A SENSATION!

  • "it makes no sense to use your present moment to label or judge yourself"

    PURE GOLD

  • I kinda agree on the part about Neural science but i have to disagree with the way he views it. All Those activities in my brain( a-b-c) k-t-j ecs) are all me will always be me so no i am everything that i am thats just my brain at work don't be fooled its all of me.

  • @Breaking2Silence Its not the way you think of it. If that 99% of empty space were occupied space then things would be compact. If things were compact, then everything would be solid and extremely dense. Common sense?

  • Like to see this guy defend himself in court ! Leave everybody stumped with big words lol luv the other channel

  • can you bring back some of the 60 seconds stuff, i love your videos and most of your opinions are like mine.. but sometimes i would like to be able to get lots of information that makes sense in a short amount of time. thanks.

  • @Breaking2Silence Quantum Physics ;)

  • How can someone so smart be so gangster!!???

  • i dont exist :(

  • mind = blown

  • STOP MESSING WITH MY HEAD!

  • you are one of the brainest people on the planet:D

  • So how do u explain certain people being BORN with a gift for say, playing and understanding the guitar better than another person? And don't tell me genetics, that is bs

  • @Zalg1r1s Why do you believe genetics are bullshit?

  • @Dawnbringerify I don't. I just believe it does not comply with Dean's idea

  • lol have anyone noticed what he wrote between 2:17 and 2:20

  • Doing your mom is just a matter of neutral activity

  • I jumped when you sent BOYA. Put a disclaimer up!

  • YOU CONFUSE ME

  • momma says says SLOOOOOOOW DOOOOOOOOOWN, you have a cougar market but slowing down would still help...

  • no one noticed he changed the first 3 words to doing your mom? :P for a split second at 2:20

  • how do you change your present day when everybody's present is different.. how do you change the fact that you are a slave to something and that you are starving because the  upper people dictate the well being of your life...what happens when you decide to be a different person and suddenly everybody is against it simply because what you were previously... how does that change when you put yourself into action but you cant somehow materialize that action when it is derailed by another action..

  • Hey Dean! When I was watching this I was thinking about something. I can't remember what it is right now so I'm going to replay this video....

    Ok, so when people say that people never change.

    This is because people are prone to repeat their own past.

    And for every action, there is a reaction.

    So do you think that people doing something over and over again through out their life is a reaction to something? Weather it be an event in the past, mimicking ones own parents, or their way of thinking

  • pause at 2:20

    D:

  • talk too fast 

  • If we are not the same person because the chemicals in our brain are ever changing thus making us act differently, could i use this theory in court to get off? lol

  • IM THINKING SO I EXIST...BUT I DON'T THINK SO...I DON'T EXIST? but...BUT IM THINKING RIGHT NOW!!!! BUT .FNAUOGNEAUG FUCK!!!!

  • OHMIGAWD, I DON'T EXIST BUT I DO EXIST I THINK I EXIST AM I THINKING??? OH MY GOD~!!!!! *SHOOTS MY SELF IN THE FACE BECAUSE I DONT REALLY EXIST WHILE EXISTING*

  • I think you shouldn't go that far and say that you don't exist, because that depends on your definition of existance. Think about that.

  • Dean, I wish all my friends were as smart as you.

  • @pizzamanopenup I wish Dean was my friend. Better than a gay friend.

  • PART 1 Hi, my profession is a hypnotherapist, and dean is correct about you not being the same person because your state of mind changes, in other words your mood. The mind has different rooms in which certain information is stored, such as speech patterns, behavior patterns, information and physical abilities. This explains why sports people need to get into their mood, and why your answers disappear when you take an exam.

  • Part 2 Because you had the information stored in the learning room, when you take an exam you are in the stress room. The further the room is the harder it is to access the information. Stress and sleeping rooms are the furthest away from your everyday neurological rooms. That's why you often may not remember your dream. What dean mentioned was that you aren't the same person in different states of mind.

    

  • I feel like I'm in the Matrix.... o.O hehe!

  • wow I so totally love this topic! it was about time that somebody translates that into understandable sentences ;D awesom video!!!

  • This guy really makes me think deeply when it comes to scientific topics. :D

  • Great vid! I like when people get that we're not really singular entities, that it's all little parts networked together to form a macroscopic illusion of a singular entity.

  • OHMIGOD I DONT EXIST!

  • I'm curious as too what books you might have read, or would recommend because i'm interested in Biology, Self Development, etc.

  • damn I feel like a dumbass while listening to this !!

  • @iPanikBr0

    it's pianist, pronounced pee-uh-nist, a piano player

  • shushushushu suuuggestions

  • What's the music in the background?

  • i like to watch his videos becuase i fell smart

  • even if theres diffrent neuroactivity you still have the same brain with all that neuroactivity in it so you can basically count it as one being , or am I wrong?

  • Well, you have defined a human as neural activity so you arae correct , but the thing is neural activity or the way you act/react is controlled or at least stronly influenced by beliefs teachings and overall memory , so if 2 people go through the exact same "lines of code" as you say they will not be executed the same way because , lets say one's a pc (original dude very trustworthy ) and one's a Mac ( spoiled rich kid ) :)

  • im 10000000000% sure that u smoke weed

  • Genius.

  • dude youre totally awesome!!!!!! i like these videos because theyre really smart and you have a very general outlook on life so its easy to understand what you mean!!!! your accent is really cute and you seem so comfortable with yourself that i just wanted to jump through the screen and hug you. and if you want to know why im talking like i have a crush on you i dont im just 12 and have no real grammar...sorry!!!

  • you just mind fucked me. and i will never recover.

  • i like the subliminal messages

  • Trained penis.... hahaha immature moment.

  • @NewageDork I thought he said that as well, at first, what he áctually said was pianist (;

  • ur realy fucken smart

  • i want a friend like you man

  • this was awesome! i think this one video may have changed the way i do certain things in my life, thank you Dean :)

  • not only i love this guy. i love all the comments produced.

    great channel
