[Shockadinkiller727]

I wonder why there are 11 dislikes. I don't think there should be any at all. This is a very well done presentation.

[belrosa12]

@Shockadinkiller727 I agree with you. They are doing phenomenal study and research that will help our world better for humanity.

[JustSomePerson888]

thing is also, it'd seem to be the case that you do not cease to be after body-death.

in the Tibetian Book of the Dead for example, your body is dead - but you (your consciousness &-or beingness) and all your thoughts and emotions continue to exist.

that isn't denying that biochemistry controls/contributes to what feelings & thoughts you have while in-body, it's more that it filters and alters what you can percieve and think of, as psychedelics research also shows.

Sounds legit but he was making some stuff up at the end with sentences like "and so on..." as if there were more...

Anyways did u hear a phone going off loud has hell towards the end...wtf

[AEVautomatic]

maybe he is just making it up as he goes.

[cmpresents]

This video is bullshit.

[zabelicious]

@cmpresents Some of it for sure!

[cmpresents]

@zabelicious I like the video, I just don't agree with the perspective of the speaker.

[golsno147]

Emotion arises from perceptions of threat or promiise triggering physiological changes to cope or benefit respectively. Emotion, as a phenomenon, is subjective awareness of a perception of threat or promise (real or imagined) and sensations accompanying physiological changes induced.. To enumerate and classify other experience as "emotions" creates a semantic minefield of misunderstanding by failing to set paramaters between emotion, ensuing mood, cognitive and behavioral responses.

[ironjohnlad]

Not sure about his promotion of CBT, the results of which can vanish withing 6- 8 months latter. I dont think it is the 'gold standard'. But I do agree that mindfulness ( and focusing) can roduce higher emotional intellegance, and processing of emotional issues, also produces long term changes in the brain.

[ironjohnlad]

this is brilliant ! He is a very good and clear speaker ! I love the information, and it fits in with my own focusing and mindfulness practise.

[zabelicious]

What you call cognition is just the human's way to adapt their understanding of what reality is, with language within a cultural, sociological or even religious context. Animals don't have feelings per se, they can have fear, hunger and sexual drives but it's all instinctual. Animals don't need God and don't meditate...Nature takes care of things.

[JustSomePerson888]

@zabelicious - animals are as ensouled and have feelings as much as any real person does too.

[zabelicious]

@JustSomePerson888 Animals don't have the capacity to use the higher cognitive functions that human have developed (and actually differentiate us from them) and hence cannot experience their "emotions" in the same way. They have a simple parasympathetic response to threat and pleasure. Humans can transfer some of their positive energy, which they can pick up on but its nothing like the complexe way we process our emotions. Animals only respond to present events and don't worry about future.

[JustSomePerson888]

@zabelicious - oh they certainly exist in the eternal now, but you are insane if you can't tell that animals are sentient as you are (or moreso, given you - can't tell that they are). it's kinda ironic how you're saying people are sophisticed more that way - yet you yourself are not able to detemine that animals are as sentient and aware as people. so are plants for that matter. and so on. consciousness doesn't need an animal nervous system to adhere to and experience the universe through.

[zabelicious]

@JustSomePerson888 In the philosophy of consciousness, "sentience" can refer to the ability of any entity to have subjective perceptual experiences. This is distinct from other aspects of the mind and consciousness, such as creativity, intelligence, sapience, self-awareness, and intentionality (the ability to have thoughts that mean something or are "about" something). Sentience is a minimalistic way of defining "consciousness. Do you eat plants or animal products I wonder?

[JustSomePerson888]

@zabelicious - i'm sorry, you are asking if i eat plants OR animals? OR?! do you think things through ever at all? if i don't eat either then what the fuck do you think i eat then? animals and plants are sentient, so yes if you're actually wondering something else entirely - yes a plant knows you are killing it etc as much as an animal does. which is to say as much as a human would too if you ate or otherwise similarly utilised them.

[SculptedThoughts]

@JustSomePerson888 Plants don't have a cerebral cortex.

[JustSomePerson888]

@SculptedThoughts - no shit genius. got any more great revelations no-one heard before, or do you just want to try using anothe one like it somehow negates the important truths i posted about.

kill yourself pathetic retarded cunt.

[SculptedThoughts]

@JustSomePerson888 1) Most people don't know that.

2) I will eat you and your unborn children one day.

[JustSomePerson888]

@SculptedThoughts - 1) that's why you don't go round presuming you are talking to the ghosts inside your head when you post to people you don't know.

2) no, i'll kill you. i wouldn't have children in this sick freak evil corrupted nature-abusing world. plus if it went back to normal then there's only be immortality again, reproducing is for different lifeforms entirely.

[SculptedThoughts]

@JustSomePerson888 1) That doesn't make sense.

As I already said, plenty of people don't know that. It was addressed to those who don't.

2) I love raping nature.

[JustSomePerson888]

@SculptedThoughts 1) yes it does. you sent it to me, i'm the only one reading the comments i'm sent.

2) then kill yourself evil.

[SculptedThoughts]

@JustSomePerson888 You're cute. I'd keep something like you as a pet if it were an option.

[JustSomePerson888]

@SculptedThoughts - no you wouldn't. cause then it'd be even easier for me to kill you and not get blamed for it. kill yourself freak.

[NWOareScum]

@SculptedThoughts - you wouldn't know what to do with me anyway. kill yourself.

[SculptedThoughts]

@NWOareScum You know what, I like trolls. I'm a troll.

But when I decide to start something like this, it's clever and amusing. You haven't displayed any sort of intelligence here. You suck and I'm disappointed.

[NWOareScum]

@SculptedThoughts - i'm replying you from another channel i have cause i'm not using that other one much now. it isn't trolling, internet trolls are idiots that need genocided. kill yourself scab.

[SculptedThoughts]

@NWOareScum Denial is the first step.

[NWOareScum]

@SculptedThoughts - i'm not interested in your denials of your worthlessness and denial of truth that made you how you are. kill yourself.

[NWOareScum]

@SculptedThoughts - are you trying to remind people of nico or something, to annoy the velvets. either way, kill yourself fake&gay freak. in my male lives i'd never have gone with a whorebitch like you - you'd just get pimp-slapped, and in my female incarnations i wouldn't even talk to your types. kill yourself.

[SculptedThoughts]

@NWOareScum This is getting boring.

[NWOareScum]

@SculptedThoughts - well you know what to do, it was boring all along your whole 'my hobby is annoying and being evil' shit. kill yourself.

[SculptedThoughts]

@NWOareScum Go an hero. Raping the earth is the ultimate good.

[NWOareScum]

@SculptedThoughts - no it just shows you're scum that manifest hell rather than heaven, cause you have no emotional body. kill yourself useless-eater scum.

[SculptedThoughts]

@NWOareScum I don't believe in God, but, if I did, I would take Lucifer's side.

[NWOareScum]

@SculptedThoughts - kill yourself dum-dum

[JustSomePerson888]

@zabelicious - btw as well, all of those things you mentioned are so obviously also subjective personal experiences, either yours or someone else's.

[zabelicious]

I have a degree in biopsychology and I understand the neuroscience behind emotions. I know what parts of the brain get activated in a variety of situations but the truth is, each of us experience our environment according to different rules because of our past. We learn from past experience whether we are aware of it or not. God doesn't not exist so that is not even an issue here. Have you heard of a conscience? The frontal lobe is a more crucial component to pay attention to in my opinion.

[valeryschful]

@zabelicious : Don't you have the feeling that assimilate instinct and intuition is an easy and reductive explanation ? ...hard to think for me that my cognition process comes from my animal past :-).

[valeryschful]

I meant comes "mainly" from my animal past ....

[zabelicious]

@valeryschful Have you heard of the Evolution Theory? All cognitive processes have evolved from the way human have learned to communicate and use their cognitive skills (which can be traced to an enlargement of the brain per se also due to development of ever increasing neural connections and refinement of cognitive functions). However, this can all come to an end when there is severe trauma and impedement of so called normal developmental processes because too busy to survive and self-protect.

[pherwhite]

excellent talk! would disagree with his definition of compassion though. his definition is more of a superficial kind of compassion aimed at relieving suffering. a deeper aspect of compassion is better defined as the deep desire to support another in staying with the truth of their experience. that kind of compassion CAN offer some relief to suffering because of the support. but that is not its ultimate aim.

[lewisnwkc]

My emotions are telling me that I really can't be bothered to watch this video for over an hour... I do respect this video honestly, but right now I got other things to do... otherwise my Fiancee's emotions are going to be really dangerous

[zabelicious]

This is the most useless information I've heard in a while. This is barely science to say the least. Ok there are 6 basic Emotions, so what? I don't react to people I have nothing to do with even if I see them angry or sad or whatever... This does not acknowledge the moral sense at all. We do thing because it's right, not because we feel this or that. Meditation is the same as praying, only useful if one believes in it. I don't... educate yourself and you won't have to guess all this stuff,

[ZeeL4J8C2]

@zabelicious I agree with you that this information has very little useless but this is science. Science is anything that shows to be systematically arranged and laws of operations. So it is science. Do you watch TV or movies? Do you maybe feel emotions during watching a movie, why are you feeling those emotions? Those things didnt happen to you.

difference between prayer and mediation (I dont do either.) Prayer is directly dependant on an external power (God) Meditation is internal (Yourself)

[JustSomePerson888]

@zabelicious - meditation isn't like that, if done right it physically calms your nervous system & is about stilling the mind, ie like into theta or alpha waves, using various techniques (such as thought-watching, which is being aware of the thoughts you are having, like a consciousness behind your cognitive consciousness, or such as breath-control). prayer is based on affirmations, it's a bit like hypnosis as in about programming reality to be a certain way, via interaction of your mind & world

[peruvianlover82]

Um why would six people dislike what lots of research has shown us to be our truth as a human being? How can you dislike what others have taken the time to discover and understand what doesn't come natural to our understanding of life? If anything everyone should be glad that there are others taking the time to understand and figure out what we don't take the time to... Those six people are either immature, unfortunate to click the wrong button OR religious.

Imagination, memory and mythology have more of an influence on emotion than real world events. These are not real or true but effect us as if they were true. A dog rushes at you and you jump away. This is real. You have a heart attack on monday at 7:30am because you fear your boss with an ax. This is not real but extremely powerful. Death from imagination and mythology.

[3877michael]

Investigating the brain & emotions is important but the body is equally if not more important. Memory and emotion are stored in the muscles. Body is the container and sustainer of our whole life system. Body has consciousness and emotions as well. When you are extra tired or hungry your emotions and voice changes. Body based emotions is a big deal. Also the unseen roll of denial " of emotions " needs much more light and investigation. Denial has a more powerful effect than known emotions.

[JustSomePerson888]

@3877michael - first i thought, 'what, emotions and memory aren't stored in the muscles' then i realised you seem to be meaning that (negative events or experiences, memories of them, and the emotions they caused to be released) they are wound tight aetherically in those areas, ie - why stressed people have tense bodies and so forth.

in which case, yes very true, is why proper comfort and natural surrounds are so important to health, physical mental and spiritual.

[3877michael]

@JustSomePerson888 Thanks. It has been thought that emotions and thinking happen in the brain. But our nervous system is open. All information flows all over our body and brain. For health both spiritual and physical, I would say that self love and care are more important than surroundings. Anger and fear are concentrated forms of self love and need to be included.

[JustSomePerson888]

@3877michael - i think both are important, i know my worth etc for example but it won't help if i'm locked in a cell, or similarly restricted or interfered with by some outside energy that isn't harmonious to the soul, it'd still be experienced as hell despite me and my consciousness not being in that state. agreed about anger and fear, if you're healthy then you'd have tonnes of those experiences, cause of how the sickos have ruined this reality in terms of human life in it.

[3877michael]

@JustSomePerson888 I checked your page. You are cool. Keep banging that drum. Morphic fields are real but slow.

Respect

[Gold3nStat3KiD]

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

@lsdvine useless? you're obviously a fucking idiot for thinking that. seriously why would you even think that? this is neuro science of your emotions for god sakes. dont be so ignorant, this is very very important, fascinating, and useful information, so stfu. If you don't like it, then seriously, don't say anything. nobody wants to hear you negative bullshit. the one thing that bothers me more than anything.. the one thing that i can sniff out for miles and miles, is ignorance. try again pal.

[lsdvine]

@Richardb21 Chill out mate! have another look what i actually wrote! now who's negative?

@Richardb21 wtf? my older brother was on this thing haha shit sorry dude.. ill kick his ass for you. he's got nothin on me haha.

[hhc2]

Dr. Phillippe's point about the *difference* between the "therapeutic" intervention via cognitive therapy (language-based) and meditative practices (mental-awareness-based) is quite interesting. Physical exercise (bodily-awareness-based) is another interventional method mentioned. All three share the intervention on behavior and identification/assumption of cause in self-control (c.f. ability to "monitor" aspects of mental states). Does this self-cause figure essentially into realm of beliefs?

[naushadisgay]

Did they have subtitles or some sort of transcripts above him when he was talking?!

[Paulwhoisvegan]

@naushadisgay I had to read the subtitles because his thick accent!

[coolguy7248]

what marcus aurelius said is simply superb,onus is on us only

[connorchapman1]

The "definiton" as a" package of bodily behaviors" is hardly enlightening and is typical of semantic sloppiness. The term functions might be appropriate - acceptable in part in that physiological and cognitive functioning are present when we experience emotion. Damasio fails to define the phenomenon - his is a simplistic evasive abstraction which fails to set parameters between emotion,reaction and ensuing mood, beliefs or attitudes. As for "Self-explaining"- at least i write in plain English

[golsno147]

An example of the nonsense attached to labelling" emotions" is that of "Surprise" which, in terms of eliciting stimulus, may present neither threat or promise of any kind whatsoever. e.g. If you inform me it is snowing on the equator in mid summer it will not induce any physiological changes associated with emotion-. it may , impact on my knowledge and understanding of climate & require some adjustment of my beliefs, yes, but presents no threat or promise unless I am due there on holiday!

[carloscarlos13]

Certain kinds of ego-gratifying over-rationalized over-certain statements might indicate lack of self-insight no? We know that words are not things so we use operational definitions, and some effort to understand sympathetically before making self-satisfied critique-slinging is wisdom, no? Snow at equator may threaten or promise in various cognitive-defense modes, intellectual pride etc., no? Yes? Tone of written statement reveals emotion moving 'reason', yes?

[golsno147]

You cannot legitimate defining emotion as a phenomenon in terms of what follows from emotional impact Facial expressions, moods, behavior and adjustment of attitudes expectancies or beliefs which follow emotion cannot be claimed to be part of the phenomenon itself. All labels attributed to episodes of emotion only indicate which aspect of our existence is subjected to threat or promise from the eliciting stimulus.

[connorchapman1]

If Golden claims to know exactly what emotion is and can define it , then we could start to debate "how many emotions" there are! .For over 2000 years there has been no universally accepted definition of emotion Ongoing speculation from such as Dennett, Damasio add other observations do little to distinguish emotion (as process and subjective experience) from, instincts, moods and behavior arising from emotional impact. Let them first define what they are speculating about...

[quodmenutrit]

Currently, researchers in psychology recognize six universal emotions: anger, fear, disgust, happiness, sadness, and surprise. The definition of emotion in this sense is an immediate physiological arousal in response to a situation; we feel and respond to the emotion prior to labeling it.  These emotions are recognized universally in our facial expressions. There are other contenders for the list, such as pride and contempt. Other states we might think of as emotion are considered moods.

[carloscarlos13]

Did you hear his phrase 'rough sketch' and his acknowledgment that classifying is not definitive? We are trying to agree on operational definitions, not preen ourselves by divisive, competitive 'gotcha' criticism, haha!! (Self-irony is a higher emotional function...). Also see Damasio's work where his OPERATIONAL definitions are, for a young science, fairly clear to my mind...

[golsno147]

If I had the remotest idea what you are trying to convey, other than gratuitous sarcasm. I could possibly respond. Trouble is you rely on pseudo-scientific and intellectual gobbledegook in an effort to impress rather than address the fundamental subject. As for Damassio and others-i.e, Goleman(Emotional Intelligence) and Griffiths(What Emotions Really Are) writing books on the subject none have attempted-far less succeeded- in defining the phenomenon and you seem none the wiser.

[carloscarlos13]

Sorry, I thought you were educated to the extent that 'operational definition' would have meaning; my mistake. See also my response to your comment on a Damasio video where I point out the time in the vid when he offers his definition: of emotion: an automated, genetically programed package of bodily behaviors with a problem-solving purpose; 'feeling' is the perception of this behavioral response. Clear enough for me. 'Gotcha criticism' should be self-explaining. I merely reflect your tone...

[TheSaRaaaG]

"ALOT of statistical processing" :)

[alauc]

Dr. Phillippe Goldin is, from my point of view, not correct with 6 main emotion. R. Plutchik created model with 8 dimensions and it is, for me, much better interpretazion.

[greenrate]

It's impossible to comment specifically about this because it's so on the wrong track in so many different ways.

But let's try an intuitive ("emotional" if you like . . .) appreciation of it anyway.

Tell me: does this guy give you the impression that he himself has any personal insight, from his own experience, into what he's talking about?

Or does he give the impression, instead, that he's just repeating a lot of stuff that he's picked up and re-arranged from somewhere else?

[divpadsmit]

I think, everything is picked up somewhere and rearranged by our brain.

[soupisgoodfood42]

[pjperalta]

Pinker has made some advances in explaining why people are "addicted" to thinking the same stupid things that were taught in childhood. That explains why 40.000 economists have kept silent while the same private banking mafias continue "creating" money to their advantage. Money is the main problem of humanity. Greed is the main ethical problem. Neuroscientists should concentrate in these "practical" studies, like why Bush is still doing the same HOAX!And why people keep believing the crooks!

[marsCubed]

You may want to look for Dan Dennett on youtube, His works on memes 'units of mimicry' is related and is perhaps able to

tie some of the questions you ask .

[dollaresque]

This should be analyzed opposite Pinker's concept of innate/inborn traits (genetic and of brain structures). The recently popular neuroplasticity arguments are exciting and definitely worth studying, but so is the opposing views. That's why I was a bit surprised when speaker was asked about doubts, and he didn't doubt that all of this works, he just worried about which tool/approach is best used with which person. I wish someone would just clearly explain where the borders of opposing views are!

[misterspike]

I would argue that these are not "opposing" views, but instead complement each other by describing different mechanisms that determine brain structure. The reality of all science, but brain science in particular, is that any model is a gross over-simplification of reality. The genetic basis of cognitive mechanisms cannot be denied, but no genetic algorithm can allow for complexities of life and the specific needs of the individual, so adaptive mechanisms are also built in.
