@benlobato

LOL at some tard critiquing Searle in youtube comments.

@benlobato Give me a break, no one takes those professional complainers and their ethnic studies program's seriously.

I believe Searle has contributed greatly to issues in philosophy of mind. I also agree that a good education should be intellectually rigorous. However, he is insensitive or indifferent to the experience of people who are more apathetic to the intellectual life, and I think he is making a judgement on a new crop of students who are not accustomed to that environment. I think he should rethink his presumptions about people who don't share his view about social issues in the U.S.

Now I see where Snoop got his ideas from, finally it makes sense.

I like how 'they taught us' transcribed into 'in late august' .. the transc service is obviously useless.

Thank you for sharing this vid. I have listened to John R. Searle's talks from various other reference sources. Yet this interview, puts quite a lot of what I have explored of his thoughts into a clearer perspective.

43:23 mediocre people? a little assholeish bit no?

@dsbnh However, by making the room a brain it still doesn't seem to truly refute the scenario, seems like it only bypasses it.

[5dsdouglas]

@dsbnh If you are making the room analogous to the brain then I suppose I agree with you. Thank you for that clarification.
