Podcast appearances and mentions of daniel dennet

What the heck is the Trolley Car Dilemma (TCD) - and how does it relate to Radical Empathy? The TCD is a thought experiment - an intuition pump (to use Daniel Dennet's incisive term) - to generate insights about agency and empathy. You are the agent on a runaway Trolley Car faced with a couple of bad choices - faced with choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea - in a double-bind - now choose! The short version of the TCD: You are the ticket agent on a runaway trolley car with broken brakes, which will run over five people unless you throw the switch to change the track, which, however, will result in running over one person. So far, everyone, including you, is innocent, but not for long. Standard empathy breaks down in empathy distress. Find out how standard empathy gives way to radical empathy to get across the abyss of empathic distress in this engaging podcast!art image: ink drawing Luca Cambiaso (1527–1585) - promethesus chained to the rock - note the eagle gnawing on his liver - ouch!

"The answer that came to me again and again was play. Every human society in recorded history has games. We don't just solve problems out of necessity. We do it for fun...Games are part of what makes us human. We see the world as a mystery, a puzzle, because we've always been a species of problem-solvers." This week, Rick is joined by Alex (Low Five Gaming) to approach the brinks of phenomenal consciousness and transhumanism in The Talos Principle, a 2014 puzzle game by Devolver Digital. Though the storyboarding and "plot" are fairly light (and reminiscent to the Book of Genesis), the implications of the story are far reaching: what is the fundamental turning point into the notion of Qualia, or phenomenal consciousness? And what of free will - do we have it? Join us as we discuss this, the Garden of Eden, how games can foster community, and much more.

IntroductionThe definition of controversy is – prolonged public disagreement or heated discussion. Controversial political policies, controversial interest groups and best of all controversial people.In our modern era, one of the ways to objectively identify a controversial public figure is track the number of times their entry on Wikipedia has been modified. Since anyone can suggest an edit to a Wikipedia entry, the number of edits reflects how much we care about the content of a Wikipedia page.Frequent revisions over a long period of time suggests underlying conflicts of interest between Wikipedia editors. Fans will promote their hero’s positive image and add details that other readers will consider biased and unsubstantiated. And these editing wars go on for decades.If you use this metric, the most controversial person in the world is George W. Bush. You will also see on that list Michael Jackson then Barack Obama, Adolf Hitler, Britney Spears, and then of course the professional wrestler, the Undertaker.Every person on the top ten has lived within the last 100 years, with the exception of one. Number 2 on the list is Jesus Christ. Isn’t that amazing? 2000 years after his death and resurrection, Jesus Christ is still a deeply controversial figure. Why?What makes a person controversial? A person of controversy is someone who promotes and then eventually represents a value that a certain segment of society loves and another segment of society hates. And if you want to have a controversial person go supernova, just sprinkle in some misinformation and claims that circulate without being fact-checked.Today in our passage, we see all of this. We see the origin of this controversy swirling around the person of Jesus. Everyone’s got a theory about who Jesus is. In the passage we see 8 different conclusions regarding the identity of Jesus Christ. And all eight of these could be found in our culture today.So let’s dive in.BackgroundYou will remember from last week, the grace/truth blade of the ministry of Jesus has scattered the masses. The crowds are divided over him. Many turned away from him because of the hard words he spoke after the feeding of the 5000.Since that event, it’s been six months. And the questions have been swirling around Jerusalem. Who is Jesus Christ? Here’s the first answer. The religious leaders saw Jesus Christ as a risk to their power and because of that he needed to be eliminated. Allowing him to go on as he is doing is a tremendous liability to our parties cause. He must be destroyed!You remember from last week that chapter 7 opens up by telling us that the Jews (that is the religious leadership) were seeking to kill Jesus. So you can imagine in our modern context, everyone’s standing around the temple mount and an AMBER alert goes off on their phones. Dangerous Sorcerer, usual hangs out with the dregs of society - prostitutes, fisherman and tax collectors. Last seen in Galilee. Suspected to be headed to Jerusalem.Why was Jesus suspected to be headed to Jerusalem? Because, as we learned last week, it was the feast of Booths. And this was one of the three pilgrimage feasts.Jesus home base in Galilee was Capernaeum and it says that after his brothers went up to the feast, Jesus went up privately. That doesn’t mean that he went up in secret, it just means he didn’t go up the way you normally would - in caravans of people.Now you might ask why the Jews didn’t just go up to Galilee to arrest Jesus. It wouldn’t be hard to find him. They undoubtedly knew where he lived. There was a political reason.They need the Feast to draw Jesus out of Galilee. Why? Because so long as he was in Galilee he’s under the jurisdiction of Herod Antipas. And the Jews have no influence over Herod Antipas. They likely wouldn’t even be able to get a hearing with him much less a verdict.So knowing that Jesus might attend the feast, the Jews have their ear to the ground.Now why are they wanting to kill him? What evil has he done deserving death?In John chapter 11 we are given a glimpse into the reasons that the Jews wanted to kill Jesus. After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead the text says that the religious leaders convened. What are we to do? If he goes on like this everyone will believe in him and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our position.The reason they hated Jesus was because he threatened their position and their control. When you sit in that high seat of authority long enough, it’s hard to give it up. You get accustomed to calling the shots.And you see, some today who want Jesus dead for similar reasons. And so they try to destroy him, not of course with swords and spears but with words and ideas.Richard Dawkins is one of the most well known atheists. He’s written books like, “Outgrowing God. The God delusion.”Sam Harris wrote, “The End of Faith.”Christopher Harris “God is not Great.”Daniel Dennet, “Breaking the Spell.”In fact they’ve collectively written a book called the four horseman referencing the imagery in the book of Revelation. They take for themselves the metaphor of the four horseman of the apocalypse picturing themselves riding in with bloody swords eliminating God from the minds of men.Why do they care? What difference does it make if this collection of atoms over here believes something that isn’t true? Let him believe what he wants.Here’s at least part of the answer. If the material world is all their is, we have absolute control. We are at the top of the food chain. My intellect is the highest form of authority. But if Jesus Christ is God, I no longer hold that position. Jesus Christ is a threat. If he is who he says he is then he will take away both our place and our position.Dawkins, Dennet, Harris…they all think they know Jesus. The Jewish leaders of Jesus day…they think they know Jesus.So, Who is Jesus? He is a risk.THEY THINK THEY KNOW HIM, BUT THEY LACK THE ONE THING NECESSARY TO TRULY KNOW HIM.Some identify Jesus as a risk. Let’s look at a second identification. Who is Jesus? Some just saw the good things Jesus was doing. He’s not stirring up the people. Remember what he said, "Blessed are the peacemakers."Jesus is pro peace. I like peace. We need more of that in our world.He’s healing people. That’s so nice of him. He’s feeding hungry people. Look at all the humanitarian work that’s being done. Humanitarian work is great. I’m pro humanitarian aid. We all deserve a better quality of life.He cares about our needs. Listen to the guy. Are not sparrows sold for very little? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. The very hairs on your head have been counted. Fear not. You are worth more than a flock of sparrows. –Matthew 10:29-31 That’s a positive message.My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?” (John 14:2).Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light (Matt. 11:29-30).He’s a good man. He’s a good teacher. He uses lots of metaphors in his teaching. I like that style of teaching. He’s engaging. He promotes family values.This is the guy who just thinks on very simple, very superficial terms and his cursory glance prevents him from concluding anything very profound about him.So, who is Jesus? Jesus, Oh yeah, I know Jesus. He’s a good man. A great moral teacher, a great prophet.But is this all he is? Does this identification sufficiently explain him?THEY THINK THEY KNOW HIM, BUT THEY LACK THE ONE THING NECESSARY TO TRULY KNOW HIM.Let’s look a third identification. Some identified him as a risk, others as a good man. Who is Jesus Christ? Oh, he’s a deciever.Jesus is saying a lot of things that contradicts the tradition of our Scribes and Pharisees and teachers of the law. These guys are smart. We don’t trust folk who challenge our heroes. Anyone who does something different than the way it’s always been done, can’t be trusted. He’s causing a lot of disruption and family division.I know he’s doing all these miracles but that’s got to be some sort of trick. It’s a tactic to deceive. We’ve never encountered some of his ideas which means he can’t possibly be orthodox. And rather than asking the question, "Does the teaching of Jesus offer a better explanation of the OT than the Scribes and Pharisees?" Rather than do some thinking, they simply say, “It’s not mainstream.” Therefore it’s deception.And that is how many today view followers of Jesus Christ. Followers of Jesus are being deceived. Hasn’t science proved evolutionary thought. Aren’t the brightest minds in the ivy league schools convinced?These poor, simple minded Christians. These poor Christians believe that any gap of scientific knowledge is evidence of God’s existence. Religion feeds on people willing to do that."We need to eradicate religion because it preys on the ignorant, the needy. Religion blindfolds the simple. We need to free these men and women. They are being seduced, exploited. Head in the sand.And rather than asking if the Bible offers a better explanation of the evidence, they simply say, "How can so many credentialed scientists be wrong?"This is how many were viewing Jesus. How can the Scribes and Pharisees be wrong. You can’t get more authoritative than that? You can’t get more respectable and trustworthy than that?All Jesus wanted them to do and all he wants us to is ask oursleves a question: Does the explanation of reality offered by Jesus Christ improve upon your current explanation of reality. Put some thought into it. G.K. Chesterton said it this way. So, Who is Jesus? With confidence many say, “Jesus is a deceiver. If Houdini were alive in Jesus’ day, he’d be Jesus.” Is that a satisfactory answer?THEY THINK THEY KNOW HIM, BUT THEY LACK THE ONE THING NECESSARY TO TRULY KNOW HIM.Let’s look at a fourth identification in the text. I see who Jesus is. I might even believe that he is being treated unfairly. However, I don’t want to associate with Jesus because I don’t want to be shamed. I don’t want the stigma that goes along with that man.It’s politically incorrect to speak positively about him. That’s a hot potato. That’s a taboo subject. It’s obviously sensitive and it’s not worth engaging.To speak positively would be like hiding a fugitive in my home. If they discover I’m treating this man with sympathy, I’ll get thrown in jail along with him. And while that’s tragic and unjust, I certainly love my lifestyle more than I love this man.Many today will not associate with Jesus, not because they are unbelieving, but because they are terrified of the consequences of associating oneself with him. They are too terrified of exploring when that exploration might cost them dear social capital.The fear of being canceled in our culture is pretty strong. Say the wrong phrase, love the wrong thing, and your career could be over. You could lose friends. That’s what’s going on here in the text.The Sadducees had an iron grip of control over the people.The Pharisees had an iron grip over the synagogues.In John chapter 9 we are going to see the parents of the man born blind refuse to answer an obvious question for fear of being put out of the synagogue.And nothing has changed in our world. There are always people in power trying to push agendas and they intend to you use their power to make you pay if you don’t get on board. Maybe you’re involved in politics or the entertainment industry. You speak to loudly about Jesus and you’ll be canceled. I don’t want to be labeled ignorant, deluded, simple-minded, unscientific.Who is Jesus? I don’t actually know, but I know enough to know I don’t want to get involved.Is that a good answer?THEY THINK THEY KNOW HIM, BUT THEY LACK THE ONE THING NECESSARY TO TRULY KNOW HIM.Let’s look at a 5th identification. Jesus Christ is a wise man.John is so masterful in his recording of this event because he’s painting this picture of scattered confusion. Earlier we are told that the Jews wanted to kill him. But now we are told that the Jews are marveling. This is true to life in controversy. When something his hotly controversial, you know it because within the same party you have differing views. We’ve seen this in the Christian response to COVID haven’t we? People within the same sect of Judiasm are coming to opposite conclusions. We read of Caiphas and Nicodemus, both members of the Sanhedrin, on diametrically opposite sides of their evaluation of Jesus Christ.So who is Jesus? Some are arguing, this man is a sage. They are marveling at his insight, discernment, his wise judgment, intellectual acumen, brilliance. They saw Jesus as wise.In Judaism, it was highly valued to be able to debate in open public. The way you prove yourself a man, the way you earn respect is to best a man in open debate. That’s why you see all these interchanges take place while Jesus is teaching in the temple.Should we pay taxes to Caesar? Man that seems like such a trap question. Everyone knows what’s behind that. If Jesus says, "Pay taxes, he’ll be acknowledging Caesar as god and sovereign." If he says, “Don’t pay taxes,” he’ll be accused of a sedition. What is he going to say? Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and render unto God what is God’s. Give Caesar the coin he made. Caesar wants your money. God wants your heart.Wow. That’s deep. They are trying to roast Jesus and Jesus keeps roasting them. And some look at this and they say, “This man is truly wise.”And that is why some follow Jesus. They love how insightful he is. They love it when he roasts the self-righteous religious elite. Some love Jesus because he’s like a religious Robinhood. Some compare him to Gandhi. Some marvel at the way he was able to start a world religion. He touched on some nerve of humanity. Bravo.Who is Jesus Christ. He’s a wise man. Yes, he certainly was wise. But is that all he was? Is that an adequate explanation?THEY THINK THEY KNOW HIM, BUT THEY LACK THE ONE THING NECESSARY TO TRULY KNOW HIM.Let’s look at a 6th identification. You see the swirling confusion? While it was widely know that Jesus was a wanted man (we’ll see that next), not everyone knew. Some hear Jesus claim that his life is in danger and they think he’s lost his grip on reality.When does someone cross the line from being rational to mad? Answer: when you can’t explain their behavior.Most of the time we can find reasons why someone acts the way they do. We can say, "Even though I would never do it that way, I can see why you would do that." My wife and I are similar in a lot of ways but there are some key differences. When we clean the house I start with the big rooms and move to the closets. She starts in the closets. Now even though I wouldn’t do it that way, I see why. I would never call her insane for that.We’ve got a free Saturday. What do you want to do today? She says: I’m going to go to Dillards at Mall. Okay, now you are insane.Many looked on Jesus Christ and they had no category for the kinds of claims he was making. He’s claiming to be God. Maybe he has a demon. I can’t relate to that. In our modern day he would be locked up in an insane asylum.A lot of times we think of the ancients as simple people. We think of them as intellectually inferior, pre-scientific, superstitious, etc. But let me ask you a question. How smart do you have to be to evaluate this claim, "Hey guys, guess what, I’m God, you know, the one who made the universe."Every year there are 1000’s of people globally that slip into a mental disorder and claim to be God. But guess what? A thousand out of a thousand of them are not believed. And presumably this is nothing new. This has been happening since the beginning of time.You have to stand back and marvel at the uniqueness of this. Jesus Christ got away with something no one else has ever gotten away with. Every one of these self-proclaimed Messiahs have been dismissed as a fools or evil people or madmen. Jesus was different. Why? Because the people who lived closest to him were totally and completely convinced. That’s why they lived and died for him. The gospels were written just a few decades after the life of Jesus. Where were the whistle blowers?Who is Jesus Christ? Some will say he was a madman. Is that a satisfactory answer? Does that sufficiently explain him?THEY THINK THEY KNOW HIM, BUT THEY LACK THE ONE THING NECESSARY TO TRULY KNOW HIM.Let’s look at a seventh identification. Here’s the most honest group of them all. Everyone else thinks they know him. This group admits confusion. This doesn’t add up. On the one hand he’s openly doing miracles? But he’s a wanted man. They know that he’s being hunted by the religious elite. And that in itself says something. That’s curious why he would be so irksome to these guys. He must be hitting a nerve. Is he Messiah? No he can’t be Messiah, he’s from our home town.Who is Jesus Christ? He’s a Mystery. This is perhaps the most common answer in our day and age. Who is Jesus? Who knows?! I would love to know, but it’s just not knowable.So let us ask, is Jesus’ knowable? Or are we just living in a post-truth culture in which truth may exist but isn’t available. With so many competing understandings and constructions, deconstructions and reconstructions how can we know? Will the true Jesus please step forward?THEY DON’T KNOW HIM BECAUSE THEY LACK THE ONE THING NECESSARY TO TRULY KNOW HIM.You’re saying to yourself, “Will you please stop saying that.” What is this one NECESSARY thing we lack in order to TRULY know him? Here it is. See if you can see it. Here’s what this saying. Listen carefully. Before you can know Jesus, you must be willing to do whatever God wants you to do. You must surrender. You must be willing to abandon your will. Do you see what the text is saying? The obstacle to knowing Jesus is PRIMARILY an unwillingness to surrender your will?Spiritual eyesight is given to those who surrender their will to God. There’s an English word for surrendering our will to another. What is it?That’s the key. The one thing necessary to know Jesus? Submission to Jesus. And you might think, that’s not fair. What do you mean, I have to submit to Jesus to know him? How can I be asked to submit to a man I have not yet learned to trust.I need to know the guy first. That’s totally fair. We aren’t saying that you can’t get your questions answered. That’s fine. Get your questions answered.We are not saying you don’t need knowledge about God. Of course. Of course it’s okay to learn about him first.But at some point you will have enough information to make an educated conclusion and the issue will no longer be information. The remaining hurdle will be submission.This is always the last, final and ultimate obstacle.For some it’s evidence problem. But most think it’s an evidence problem when it’s actually a submission problem. Let me give you an example.There are a lot of things you’re doing right now, and you have seen the scientific evidence - it’s bad for you. You’re eating too much fat, too many carbs, too much gluten, whatever. You are a bit overweight. You are eating some food you know is causing irritation in your body.For example, just this week, I kind of got on a health kick. I was thinking about how bad processed sugar is for me. I’ve watched a few documentaries like every single person in this room has. And I thought, you know, I need to eat more greens and vegetables. And so I ate a good breakfast, but then in the staff kitchen someone left a giant box of chocolates. I mean like giant. And that’s all it took. My diet lasted 45 minutes.We all do this. We’ve seen the scientific proof. We’ve seen the evidence. It’s overwhelming. There’s not even a shadow of a doubt. If you exercise, you’ll have a better quality of life. You know it. Yet you won’t trust yourself to it. You won’t submit yourself to it. Why? Because you want to do what you want to do. You want your freedom. Chocolate just tastes good.It certainly is not less than reason, but it takes more than reason, doesn’t it? It takes more than evidence. It takes submission. When we are unwilling to submit, it means we are interested ultimately in our freedom.That’s why Jesus cannot be known. Why? Because he has a different goal. His primary aim is not your freedom or autonomy. That’s why he says, "The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory." With that goal, you can never see the world accurately. You will always be selective in your judgment. You will delude yourself time and time again with your confirmation bias.We need to submit to God to ultimately understand him. The bottom line, is we are unable to understand God. Why? Because we are finite and fallen human beings. We cannot set ourselves up on some solid perch outside of Christ and gain a vantage point from where we can objectively evaluate him. Divine revelation can only be assessed, as it were, from the inside.Following Jesus Christ is not an intellectual game. It’s not something to be thought about and assessed, as if God is an object we may politely examine, dissect and discuss, picking and choosing what we like of him.You will never know Jesus Christ, you will never experience the freedom he offers until you are willing to surrender it all.You have to give it all up and make a different goal. You have to say, “I’ve done enough research to believe that you are likely who you claim to be. My goal is no longer to evaluate you. My goal is to look at the world the way you tell me to.” Until you are willing to say, “God, whatever you say” you will never know God. Until you are willing to say, "I give you my life. My life is not my own. You tell me what to do.As soon as you do that, you put yourself into a position to know God. It’s like a cup that’s just in the wrong direction. You just complain constantly that the water never fills up the cup. The problem’s not with the water. The problem is in the position of the cup!If you were here on Wednesday this week you will remember this quote:He got this from Jesus. Jesus asks this of us. Turn the cup. It’s an issue of submission.And this was the final identification. So when you surrender to Messiah what do you do? When you say, “My life is not my own, what do you do?” It can look a lot of different ways.I want to highlight some ways it’s looked for some folks in our church. Not only will it show you how others have surrendered, but there is an opportunity for you to join them in their surrender.Whatever you do, the point is that you know Jesus by surrender your will. You’ll never know him till you do that.

Ända sedan 1859 när Darwin publicerade "Om arternas uppkomst" har evolutionsteorins relation till teologin debatterats. Bland Darwins samtida teologer fanns både de som bejakade Darwin (däribland den anglikanska kyrkans ärkebiskop Frederick Temple, (1821-1902)) och de som avvisade och kritiserade Darwin, däribland Samuel Wilberforce, biskop i Oxford. Men Samuel Wilberforce (1805-1873) betonar att hans kritik inte utgår från att det strider mot uppenbarelsen - en hållning Wilberforce kritiserar i en lång recension av Om arternas uppkomst i tidskriften Quarterly Review: "We have no sympathy with those who object to any facts or alleged facts in nature, or to any inference logically deduced from them, because they believe them to contradict what it appears to them is taught by Revelation. We think that all such objections savour of a timidity which is really inconsistent with a firm and well-instructed faith." http://www.victorianweb.org/science/science_texts/wilberforce.htm I Darwin's pious idea: why both the ultra-darwinists and creationists get it wrong försöker Conor Cunningham att klargöra den förenande premissen för både "ultra-darwinister" som Richard Dawkins och Daniel Dennet och kreationister. Det som förenar dem är att de "hatar materien" och har en låg syn på naturen. Däremot har de olika uppfattningar om huruvida det finns något mer än naturen. Men Cunningham menar att evolutionsteorin innebär en möjlighet till en rikare läsning av naturen: just för att evolutionen innebär att medvetande, liv, kunskap, rationalitet och kärlek uppkommer naturligt så visar den på naturens "mirakulösa" eller förundransvärda karaktär. Det är mirakulöst (förunderligt) just för att det inte är mirakulöst. Istället för att titta på medvetandet och säga att eftersom det är naturligt så är medvetandet egentligen "enbart materiellt" så menar Cunningham att uppkomsten av liv, medvetande och kunskap visar att naturen är rikare än vad den mekanistiska världsbilden förutsatte. Naturen är sakramental, i det att det materiella är bärare av det andliga. Detta är Darwins "fromma idé", som Cunningham presenterar som ett alternativ till den ultra-darwinistiska förståelsen av evolutionen som en "farlig idé" (som Daniel Dennets bok Darwin's Dangerous Idea utvecklar) som fräter bort allt mänskligt. Länkar: Rowan Williams recension av Darwin's Pious Idea: "Mind all the way down".

GODS, PHILOSOPHERS, AND SCIENTISTS: Religion and Science in the West According to Pew Research studies, most Americans think religion always conflicts with science. The popular writings of scientists such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Lawrence Krauss reinforce this idea, as do books by writers such as Christopher Hitchens and Daniel Dennet. Furthermore, the two versions of the enormously popular television show Cosmos, hosted by Carl Sagan in 1980 and Neil deGrasse Tyson in 2014, present a history of science in which religion has always acted as a barrier to scientific development. Gods, Philosophers, and Scientists shows that just because an idea is popular, doesn’t mean it’s correct. By examining the historical record from the time of the Ancient Greeks to today, readers are able to see that religion and science have been allies more often than enemies, and when conflict does occur it’s too simplistic to view it as coming from something inherent to either science or religion. Anyone interested in the history of science or religion, who is curious about how science works, or who wants to have a better understanding of the world should read this book. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Scott E. Hendrix earned his Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee in 2007, specializing in the history of science. Scott started teaching at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wisconsin, upon graduation, and over the years has taught classes about world, medieval, and early modern history, as well as the history and philosophy of science. Scott has maintained an active research agenda, publishing numerous books, articles, book chapters, and even an encyclopedia on The World’s Greatest Religious Leaders.

Mike & Luke return to discuss Sam Harris's book "Free Will". They try to decide whether free will is completely and illusion or just partly an illusion. Also whether or not Luke should "Paint his dreams".

Three important revolutions shaped the course of history: the Cognitive Revolution kick-started history about 70,000 years ago. The Agricultural Revolution sped it up about 12,000 years ago. The Scientific Revolution, which got under way only 500 years ago, may well end history and start something completely different. This book tells the story of how these three revolutions have affected humans and their fellow organisms. Sapiens by Yuval Harari is one of those books that shapes how we think, as another lenses through which we can look at reality. It’s central theme is the evolution of Human History, and gives special importance to myths and shared ideologies. It explains how shared myths underlie human narrative and everything we find meaningful. There's a lot of power in these shared ideas because they end up regulating how a society and people function. We cover a wide range of topics, including: The power of shared myths and their impact in Human History The Cognitive, Agricultural, and Writing Revolutions Why Sam Harris and Jordan B Peterson quarrel each other Why Agriculture counterintuitively fucked us up Self-perpetuating ideas and cultures Ideas to reduce the wealth gap And much more. Please enjoy, and be sure to grab a copy of Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari! If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out our episode on Antifragile by Nassim Taleb, about why hunters are in better shape than gatherers, and The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell, another book that explains the influence of shared mythology.

[5:48] How meaningless we humans are as a species. Being just like another animal. The path to genetic and technical advantages. The role of fire that helps us consume less energy when digesting food. Energy that can go to our relative big brains. [11:08] Agriculture seems to have sprung out all around the globe at the same time. The increasing pace of progression between ages. Domestication of wild plants and animals did not increase in the last 2000 years. [16:12] Tolerance and the extinction of Neanderthals. Two theories about the extinction of Neanderthals. The first based on the intolerance trait of Sapiens, leads to think they were the target of the most significant ethnic-cleansing campaign in history. The second, less probable, talks about interbreeding and mingling. French vestiges in Vietnam. [21:39] Cognitive, the first revolution, defined by language. We switch by chatting about resources or danger, to be able to communicate richly about abstract ideas. Shared methodology becomes our main competitive advantage in nature, with the ability to pass out knowledge. Poetry as a mnemonic technique (ability to remember more). [24:26] Challenges in interpretation of spoken languages. The Bible example. Jesus walking on water can be translated to walking by the water. There exist some evidence that The Big Flood really existed. [27:08] Why there's a limit to the size a community can bond together and the the role of religion or "shared myths and methodology" to get past this number. The fact that Sapiens were able to cooperate in larger groups may be one of the reasons they wiped out Neanderthals, despite their physical and mental superiority. [33:30] What reality means for Harris, Peterson, Taleb, and Hirari. The roots of the Sam Harris and Jordan B Peterson disagreement may lie on the definition of reality. Porcupine example: a lot of people believes porcupines shoot their quills, which is not true, but helps us not to get injured. There are too many variables to consider when interpreting our environment, but our minds can feel something is odd even if we can't rationalize it. [40:11] How some Cultures are able to self perpetuate. Islamism vs Judaism. [43:10] The omission of evidence does not mean omission in reality. The only evidence that has survived is the one recorded in physical devices. All immaterial things went lost. Stone Age should be called the Wood Age. [45:31] Agriculture. History's biggest fraud: The agricultural revolution didn't led to a better life, but to an explosion of population and diseases. Agriculture societies are more fragile. Introduction of the concept of private property. Differences between hunters and gatherers, and losing skills. In Social Media, as in Agriculture, is difficult to see the end game. Successful Evolution is generally counted by numbers, not quality of life. We think that we domesticated other species, but it seems we domesticated ourselves. [54:53] As gatherers we are more prone to less Black Swans, but more variability. History of yeast and weed domestication. [59:45] Pyramids as objects of cult. Past and modern pyramids. Multiple levels of games to conquer pyramids. Nomadic Lifestyle as a cult. [1:02:52] The Writing Revolution. The first use of writing was financial accounting records. The origin of different bases for counting. Base 6 or 24 for hours in a day, base 10 related to our digits, base 2 as a valid alternative. [1:05:09] Writing originated because of agriculture. Phoenicians were prolific writers, but their main support was papyrus which went lost. On the contrary, Egyptians wrote less but on walls, so we have much more records from them. Ways to codify an idea understandable by every creature and the NASA experiment. Would aliens look to us as annoying spiders or cute kittens? [1:12:40] The idea of justice is alien to history. Theories of male dominance in human history. Comparisons to other mammals that form non-male societies. [1:20:34] Institution of family related to the concept of private property. Marriage is thought to be beneficial for women, but there’s a theory that states is much more beneficial for (loser) men [1:24:05] The role of shared myths to perpetuate the status quo. Wealth goes to wealth, poverty back to poverty. The correcting mechanism trickle and stop. Ideas to stop wealth differences should reduce the compounding effect of each situation. Taxing more capital gains and less income tax, or distinguishing between founder's capital from investor capital may level the ground between rich and poor and stop self-perpetuating statuses.

  In reality, the way animals, including humans, react to danger occurs in the following order: freeze, flight, fight. If the reaction really were fight or flight, most of us would be bruised, battered, and exhausted much of the time. In this episode of Made You Think, Neil and I dissect What Every Body Is Saying by Joe Navarro. In this book Joe shares his 25+ years experience conducting interrogations as an FBI agent, and reveals behaviors and reactions we can’t control under stress. He gives very actionable tips to understand if someone is lying, if someone is happy to chat with us, if we should close that business deal, or how to improve our public speaking skills. We cover a wide range of topics, including: Heuristics for understanding when others are uncomfortable or under stress. When we can confidently suspect on someone, and when not. How our body reacts when threatened. The human body reactions, explained part by part. Rips and warning when trying to unmask deception. And much more. Please enjoy, and be sure to grab a copy of What Every Body Is Saying by Joe Navarro You can also listen on Google Play Music, SoundCloud, YouTube, or in any other podcasting app by searching "Made You Think." If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out our episode on Darwin’s Dangerous Idea by Daniel Dennet, as many reactions to stress are innate and a byproduct of evolution, as well as our episode on Elon Musk, an article that analyzes how the man behind Tesla and SpaceX thinks on principles.

Like other animal species whose limbic brains protected them in this manner, humans possessing these limbic reactions survived to propagate because these behaviors were already hardwired into our nervous system.” 1:13 – Looking at how the human body reacts to stress and using that to figure out if somebody is lying or better understand emotional and mental state of somebody. 1:38 – Why Nat read this book at college. How Nat, improved his public speaking abilities after reading this book, following a suggestion he received during college. 2:04 – About Joe Navarro’s background as an FBI agent for 25 years. How he was able to include all his experience interrogating and what was suspicious or not in the many cases presented in the book. Example of Joe trying to figure out accomplices of a suspect, that was betrayed by his pupils when put under stress. 3:54 – Reference to Darwin: evolution is the foundation for body unconscious reactions. Behaviors are involuntary because they drive from the limbic system instead than from the frontal cortex. Joe stresses that nobody can really detect lies, but what you can detect is discomfort, and discomfort  may lead you to find a lie or information that not being shared. 6:56 – The key to body reading is to look for behavioral changes, rather than specific behaviors. 7:56 – The book is organized in chapters: 1. Commandments (guidelines for body reading), 2. How to pacify ourselves, 3. Reading each part of the body, 4. Deception. 8:40 – First Commandment: Look at behavior in context. Example: we feel cold when we are uncomfortable. 9:32 – Second Commandment: The idiosyncratic behaviors. Body contradicting what one is saying. Example of nodding while saying no. Example where the suspect said went right while moving the left hand. 10:22 – Fifth Commandment: Establishing baseline behaviors. Nat rolling his eye example. Neil's example running hands on his head when sleepy. 12:45 – Sixth Commandment: Always try to watch people for multiple tells, clustering of different behaviors. A single tell is not determinant. Why body language is much more communicative than spoken language. 15:27 – Limits of spoken language. We can pick someone's emotional state even if we don't have words for that. 18:25 – Gut feelings when you meet someone. Neil's example of a guy being elusive about payment. Having negative intuitions just because the other is “tribally” different. How to handle intuition’s contradictions and why we should to prefer the negative one. 23:03 – Cues. Watching people's shoulders will reveal feet excitement. Core of the behaviours. Describing each part of the body’s possible reactions. Each reaction comes in the flavour of some interaction of: freeze, flight, or fight. Freeze is the first reaction. Flight examples: turtle effect, pulling shoulders up to try to protect your neck, smaller neck in fighting poses. 31:20 – Pacifying behaviors: we do a lot of things to comfort ourselves, to distress, to feel more calm. There’s no intentionality in these reactions. Why dating advice can go bad: shoulder touching example. Why we don’t pics of ourselves smiling. Examples of forcing these reactions and trying to make them pass as natural. 37:57 – Sponsor time. Sip a Mushroom Coffee together with Neil. The mushroom coffee from Four Sigmatic energizes you with less caffeine. Neil is drinking the Chaga and Lion’s Mane mush stimulants that give a really soft caffeine bump. It feels much more clear than coffee. If you want to keep the taste of coffee without the caffeine, mushroom coffee is you perfect ally.  If you want something else to taste like coffee, try some Perfect Keto coffee flavored exogenous ketones. Check Nat’s article about a easy ketogenic diet. Ketones make it a lot easier to get into ketosis, and is perfect for weight loss or its cognitive benefits.

Most of our tangents and goofing off are going there now. 44:15 – Looping back on the baseline commandment, we should recognize reactions beyond the baseline, and understand the reason behind. Different pacifying behaviors can indicate different mental states. Pacifiers scale with the intensity of the discomfort. 49:34 – Heuristics: “weighting” different parts of the body: facial cues are the least reliable, the face is the most likely to lie. The feet are the most honest ones. Gravity defined behaviors. Colloquial phrases tied with actual behaviors: walking with a bit of a bounce on your step, walking on air, turning your back on someone. 52:17 – Tangent. Reactions of protection inherited by evolution and survival from predators. Evolution is a great first principle heuristic for understanding a large span of topics. 57:54 – Tangent. Optionality trap in dating. Sex in our generation. Optionality trap in jobs. Youthful tendency to sit around and wait for the best option. 1:04:17 – Details of different situations for legs, chest and arms. Leg crossing, nodding up or down, tilting our heads to the side, feet pointing, turning away our chest, crossing arms, etc. When it is easy to force subconscious behaviors. Importance of arms for protection. Problems of helmets in American football. 1:11:46 – Face. Fake smile. “Keep your chin up”. Keeping good posture to feel more confident. The nasal flaring. People that lose sense of smell have a hard time establishing deep relationships. 1:16:09 – Deception. Most people including FBI agents are not better than chance detecting deception. But we have some clues to be suspicious. Synchrony, if what a suspect speaks jives his body language. And emphasis: “I have never seen or heard a person who is lying yell affirmatively, “I didn’t do it,” while pounding his fist on the table”.

Primarily known for his work on philosophy of the mind, Daniel Dennet has investigated on a wide range of topics including free will, science and religion and evolution. In addition, he challenges the ideas of philosophical zombies as an unworkable notion, a hypothesis that still gains much debate today. In his book Consciousness Explained, he proposes a materialistic theory of the mind that challenges many previous ideas about what constitutes mind and brain. The notion of the Cartesian theatre is unpacked and he suggests as an alternative approach with “parallel, multitrack processes of interpretations and elaboration of of sensory inputs”, incorporating neuroscientific findings.
