This whole video could have used some significant preparation. Too many "uhmms" and other fillers as well as a lot of insecurity that results in a low voice...

It must be nice not having a central nervous system.

Yea, in some respects it might be better to be a rock and not have to deal with all this self-awareness. In particular because our concept of self is often distorted. A rock doesn't have this problem.

Re: "Why can't being a pack of neurons be an amazing thing? beats being a rock I bet..."
Rybot, your last comment was brilliant! (thundering applause from my neurons) Although I think a rock is amazing in it's own way.

( see Chapter 59 ) ;)
In psychology the natural, naïve attitude has the result that the human self-objectifications of transcendental intersubjectivity, which belong with essential necessity to the makeup of the constituted world pre-given to me and to us, inevitably have a horizon of transcendentally functioning intentionalities which are not accessible to reflection, not even psychological-scientific reflection.

the last paragraph of that chapter concerning "significant transformation"... that's where the meat is. Husserl describes what it feels like for the ego (and the body/world it has thus far identified with) to become conscious of itself.

I don't think all scientists are as you describe. Certainly Koch turns away from philosophy as he wrote in the intro to The Quest for Consciousness.
I think at some point a door opens that you can take or not and it really depends on whether your goal is to find purpose in your life, or to discover the Truth independant of application.

Perhaps Truth cannot be known in abstraction from life. Any Truth worthy of the name would be meaningfully related to life, wouldn't it?

Well, hehe, if you are talking about "worth" and "meaning" then you've already ascended up the ladder of personal application.
I'm talking about Truth that has no inherent worth, no inherent application, but simply is.
I don't think that there is such a dichotomy as Life vs Non-Life. Nothing is alive and nothing is nonliving. Its just a matter of human perspective.

Truth always seems linked to a desire to discover, to an active pursuit of understanding, to a search for meaning, etc. Truth can't simply be. Truth must be sought after and revealed. There is no truth independent of our human urge to understand and know, so far as I can tell.
