I love his point towards the end here about how in the Middle Ages what didn't fit was glossed over by saying 'God knows even if we don't' while now Science goes 'Don't worry, we'll find it out eventually'. Its exactly the same: 'We know everything and if we don't don't you worry because I'm a Priest/Scientist (delete as appropriate) and know more than you'.

[Roubiere]

His point was that one adopts a worldview one considers to be consistent and to offer all truth potentially if not actually. He certainly wasn't accusing either the priests or the scientists of arrogance.

[PegasusWhiteRose]

I know he wasn't, but he was pointing out that we shouldn't be so complacent about the gaps in our knowledge. So many modern scientists do condescend to the past. Bohm was very wary of anyone claiming they had found the ultimate truth. To me he is suggesting everyone needs to be a little more humble. The Church and Science claim(ed) absolute truth but neither has either...

[Roubiere]

I see.

At any rate, I just watched the video over and the question he is responding to is whether anyone is forced to adopt a worldview. His answer is we choose a worldview we find consistent and the way these worldviews deal what what they don't know. You think he has more of a barb with this answer than I do, I guess. Maybe you're right.

Glad you're enjoying the videos.

i think bohm had his perception catalyzed by krishnamurti, many of his statements allign him with those teachings.

the truth of it is evident in that the theory alligns with the evidence (physics)

[Roubiere]

Bohm had these ideas before meeting Krishnamurti. It was because of the similarity of their ideas that Bohm became interested in K. He doubtless profited from their meeting, but the ideas are his own.

[coryduchesne]

Ironic how a man so emotionally fragile and sensitive, would be the man to go against his fellow peers to the point of being alienated. Then on the other hand, you have a robust guy like Feynman, who took a less controversial, mainstream route, and was much more celebrated.

[Monotarkan]

I think Bohm is avery profound scientist who is trying to direct our minds to the brotherhood and interconnectedness of everything rather than seperation and fragmentation.Just imagining such thoughts is amazing.we need such thoughts badly these days

[zieben64]

he turned socialist at the end there

Parts vs. fragments....  VERY helpful!

@PegasusWhiteRose - The churches really do arrogantly claim to have the absolute truth in their dogmas. Science is totally different! It is strong because it moves forward confronting different opinions until a more coherent picture of reality comes about. Also, as it has happened many times over history, science will review it´s position in the face of new facts or experiments. Individual scientists can be utterly stubborn or arrogant but science as a whole is not!

He just can't ignore the consequences of QM while feynman did..The main point could be that we as human are managed by mind..he was not satisfied so his mind couldn't stop ticking while others may do..so don't worry if you like it or not every one has their own view to please their mind you don't necessarily have to adapt just because some one is scientist..I would say think yourself then come to conclusion which will be just for yourself..life is perfect
