« Notre cerveau à tous les niveaux. Du Big Bang à la conscience sociale »1ère rencontre : Le « connais-toi toi-même » de Socrate à l'heure des sciences cognitives ***première partie seulement***Au coeur même du projet des sciences cognitives, il y a le cerveau humain qui tente de se comprendre lui-même ! Pour apprivoiser cette vertigineuse circularité, la méthode scientifique peut nous aider. Mais ce qu'est réellement la science et comment elle fonctionne est malheureusement encore trop mal compris dans la population en général. L'activité scientifique comporte en effet différents aspects qui amènent différentes façons possibles de la définir. Pour aborder ces questions épistémologiques, on prendra l'exemple de l'histoire des sciences cognitives au XXe siècle.Je résumerai aussi succinctement l'idée centrale du livre « The Blind Spot. Why Science Cannot Ignore Human Experience” (2024), de Adam Frank, Marcelo Gleiser et Evan Thompson sur l'expérience direct souvent perdue dans les disciplines scientifiques contemporaines au profit d'une abstraction de plus en plus formelle et mathématique que l'on vient à considérer comme la réalité.PrésentationEn octobre 2024 paraissait mon livre « Notre cerveau à tous les niveaux. Du Big Bang à la conscience sociale » (Écosociété), fruit de quatre années de travail inspirées de mes billets de blogue hebdomadaires sur les sciences cognitives et de mon site web sur le fonctionnement de base du cerveau humain. Mais malgré la forme dialoguée du livre et tous mes efforts de vulgarisation scientifique, les thématiques abordées, vastes et complexes, font que ce bouquin n'est pas tout à fait ce qu'on pourrait appeler une « petite lecture d'été pour la plage », comme me l'ont fait remarquer certaines personnes…Par ailleurs, de nouvelles lectures faites depuis la parution du livre me font voir des liens entre celles-ci et du contenu de l'ouvrage comme autant de bonifications dont j'aimerais déjà tester la pertinence. Voilà donc ce qui m'a donné l'idée de créer une sorte de « club de lecture » de mon propre livre ! Fidèle à l'organisation générale du livre en différentes « rencontres » entre les deux protagonistes, je propose pour ce club de lecture de faire autant de séances qu'il y a de rencontres dans le bouquin, c'est-à-dire une douzaine. Durant la première demi-heure de chacune de ces séances, j'en résumerai les concepts clés ainsi que de nouvelles idées issues de mes lectures récentes. Ce sera ensuite l'occasion de poser des questions sur les aspects plus difficiles de cette rencontre (exposés par exemple dans certains encadrés). Après la pause habituelle des cours de l'UPop, nous approfondirons un thème lié à cette rencontre, idéalement toujours avec un.e invité.e qui nous parlera de son domaine de recherche relié à celui du thème de la rencontre. Et à nouveau, les gens pourront intervenir et faire comme Yvon dans le livre en questionnant les implications concrètes de tout ça dans notre vie de tous les jours.Deux derniers points. D'abord sur les lieux de nos séances qui seront autant de clins d'oeil au livre : chacune de celles-ci se déroulera autant que possible à l'endroit même des rencontres du livre ou, si ce n'est pas possible, pas trop loin ou dans un lieu semblable. Et finalement, les séances du club de lecture auront lieu une fois par mois, autour du 20 – 25 de chaque mois. Il s'agit donc d'un cours qui va s'échelonner sur un an, y compris l'été où l'on ne compte pas faire relâche mais plutôt profiter de la belle saison pour se rencontrer à l'extérieur, comme le sont les 4e, 5e et 6e rencontres dans le livre !Professeur-e(s)Bruno DubucBlogueur et rédacteur scientifique du site web "Le cerveau à tous les niveaux" (www.lecerveau.mcgill.ca). Auteur du livre "Notre cerveau à tous les niveaux.

Some 500 years ago, the Scientific Revolution transformed civilization. It paved the way for new technology and commerce, but it also created a worldview that set humans above and apart from the rest of nature, leading to the abuse of the planet's resources. Today, a new scientific paradigm is taking shape; an understanding that all life on Earth — from the tiniest bacteria to the largest ecosystem — is interconnected. Call it biocentrism or “Gaia 2.0.” Anne and Steve travel to the Island of Knowledge in Italy to meet a new generation of scientists and philosophers.Original Air Date: April 05, 2025Interviews In This Hour: Why the human imagination is both our greatest gift and weapon — Just how smart is a robot dog? — How Galileo helped create the modern world — The new science of 'planetary intelligence'Guests: Peter Tse, Marcelo Gleiser, Adam FrankNever want to miss an episode?

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they pick up where they left off last week in a discussion prompted by the recent launch of NASA's SPHEREx Telescope, which is hoping to find answers to how the world began. As Christians, we have a firm belief that God created all that there is. However, Genesis says quite a few things with regard to the history of the world that seem - at first glance - to either contradict science or that have not been corroborated by science. Episode Links If you missed last week's podcast episode, we'd encourage you to pause and listen to that conversation first. You can find “CCP142: On Genesis, Part One” on your favorite podcasting platform, on YouTube, or HERE on the Church & Culture website. For a deeper dive into the book of Genesis, we'd suggest you check out a series given by James Emery White at Mecklenburg Community Church called “Primordial: Genesis and the World's Primeval History.” This was not the first time that Dr. White tackled the faith-science dynamic in his messages. Here are a few other series that we'd encourage you to take a look at: “The Science of God,” “Astrophysics… for People Who Are Open to God," and “Don't Check Your Brains at the Door.” Dr. White also made reference to Meck's current series, a study of Paul's first letter to the church in Corinth titled, “Messy.” And as today's conversation delved into Noah and the ark, we thought you'd be interested in checking out this series from James Emery White, “Noah.” And if you're on the hunt for more info about the SPHEREx Telescope or today's conversation, be sure to read some of these helpful resources: Marcelo Gleiser, “The 10 Most Important Questions In Science,” NPR, September 11, 2013, read online.

Mind Matters News, January 8, 2023 http://bit.ly/3kwt70GThe discussion explores physicist Marcelo Gleiser's argument against the possibility of reality being a simulation. The panelists express skepticism, noting that such claims often rely on unfalsifiable assertions rather than scientific evidence. They critique the logic behind simulation theory, pointing out its similarities to religious arguments—particularly the claim that "we can't prove we're not in a simulation," which mirrors arguments for the existence of God. Teo dismisses the theory as an infinite regress problem, arguing that if a simulation exists, it would require a simulator, which would also need a creator, leading to an endless cycle of simulated realities. August finds the idea intriguing but remains unconvinced without tangible evidence, likening it to the Fermi Paradox, where people speculate about extraterrestrial life without direct proof. Phoebe criticizes proponents of the theory for their lack of critical thinking, comparing it to conspiracy theories like lizard people running governments. The conversation shifts to implications of simulation theory on concepts like free will. August highlights how the idea could challenge autonomy, likening it to debates over determinism. Teo humorously introduces "theocentric theory," proposing that the universe revolves around himself, poking fun at the egocentric nature of some philosophical arguments. Jason performs an experiment by telling everyone to raise their arms, joking that their compliance proves his control over them. Ultimately, the panelists find simulation theory entertaining but unconvincing. They agree that without evidence, it remains speculative fiction rather than a scientific hypothesis.The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.10.4 Phoebe Rose, Jason Sherwood, August and Mateo Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

This week I dialogue with Matthew David Segall, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness at the California Institute of Integral Studies, Chair of the Science Advisory Committee for the Cobb Institute, and author of the Footnotes To Plato blog as well as numerous books on the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead and Friedrich Schelling. In it, we wrangle with some very fundamental questions, such as:* What distinguishes the organismal and machinic?* How can we support vital cultural activity without reducing the measure of our humanity to our economic productivity?* What if we're looking for mind in AI in the wrong places, and instead treat both technology and human consciousness as unified within one unfolding process of cosmic self-discovery?We welcome your feedback and reflections — here, or in the Future Fossils Discord Server — and to join us in the inquiry about what lies beyond modernity, and how to nourish the collective imagination we need to thrive there!

How ancient artifacts emerge from melting iceAs Earth's glaciers and ice sheets melt due to global warming, they are revealing rare archaeological treasures released from a frozen time capsule. These objects are often made of organic material – human and animal remains and wooden tools that only survive in ice. In her book, The Age of Melt: What glaciers, ice mummies, and ancient artifacts teach us about climate, culture, and a future without ice, Lisa Baril tells the story of the archaeologists searching for these valuable artifacts, and what they're finding. Baril is an ecologist and science communicator based out of Yellowstone National Park.Easily influenced: Why and how the human mind is built to be suggestibleAs a teenager, Amir Raz began to perform as an amateur magician and mentalist, and learned the power of stage hypnosis. It ultimately led him to a career as a neuroscientist studying the science of psychological suggestibility, and how powerful the power of suggestion can be. He explores this science in his new book The Suggestible Brain: The Science and Magic of How We Make Up Our Minds. Dr Raz taught and practiced for many years at McGill University and is the Founding Director of the Brain Institute at Chapman University in Orange, California.What alien life will really look likeWe're just beginning to have the ability to look for signs of life elsewhere in our solar system or around other stars. But even so, Arizona State University physicist Sara Walker thinks we might be doing it wrong — imagining that life elsewhere will look like life on Earth. She's advocating a broader perspective to imagine how we'd recognize life as a reflection of different versions of chemical complexity. Her new book about this is Life As No One Knows It: The Physics of Life's Emergence. Dan Falk, science writer and co-host of the Booklab podcast reviews: The Language Puzzle: How We Talked Our Way Out of the Stone Age by Steven MithenPlaying Possum: How Animals Understand Death by Susana MonsóThe Blind Spot: Why Science Cannot Ignore Human Experience by Adam Frank, Marcelo Gleiser and Evan Thompson

In this episode, I am joined for a fascinating conversation with philosopher Evan Thompson as we delve into his thought-provoking book The Blind Spot. We discuss this collaboration with scientists Marcelo Gleiser and Adam Frank, his insights on reconciling the “scientific image” and the “manifest image” of the world, and the interplay between subjective experience and objective inquiry. Thompson explains what he means by the "blind spot" of scientific materialism—challenging assumptions about objectivity, reductionism, and the relationship between lived experience, forms of life and scientific knowledge. Thompson offers a compelling critique of reductionist views, proposing instead a vision of science grounded in human experience. We also discuss the cultural and ethical stakes of scientific inquiry in an age of scepticism and misinformation, with a thought-provoking look at climate change, subjectivity, and the unity of life itself. Other thinkers like Wilfred Sellers, Henri Bergson, G.W.F. Hegel and A.N. Whitehead all crop up. Evan is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia. You can view his website and profile here. The Blind Spot is available at all the usual outlets. Evan is also available on Bluesky: @evanthompson.bsky.social.

Why is our subjective experiences and cultural context inseparable from our scientific theories and attempts to be objective? Why is it that the more we know, the more we know we don't know? What does reductionist materialism miss out from the scientific picture and what does a post-reductionist science look like? How can understanding some of materialism's incompleteness help us face humanity's greatest problems? In this episode we have the blind spots of enlightenment science to assess; we're going to be investigating the common belief that science can provide a universal, objective, God-like perspective of the truth of things, independent from our human experience. We're also going to look at the implications of the consensus in science that all phenomena can be reduced to solely material causes, and what that may be missing out. To assess this we're going to be looking at data from cosmology, biology, cognitive science and quantum physics and thinking about the assumptions that are so baked in to our western scientific approaches, that we may have forgotten they're assumptions at all.  In order to do this we're going to be speaking to Brazilian professor of theoretical physics at Dartmouth College, Marcelo Gleiser. Marcelo works on a range of topics from Cosmology and information theory, to the history and philosophy of science, and how science and culture interact. He's also the author of many popular science books including most recently, “the Dawn of Mindful Universe: A manifesto for humanities future” and his new 2024 book which we'll be focusing on today, “The Blind Spot: Why Science Cannot Ignore Human Experience”, Co-authored with astronomer Adam Frank and philosopher Evan Thompson, who will be not he show in the next series. Gleiser's also the first South American recipient of the prestigious Templeton Science prize for his standpoint that science, philosophy and spirituality are complementary expressions of humanities deep need to explore the unknown. I have wanted to speak to Marcelo about the limits of science and a post-reductionist approach to science since he was recommended by my previous guest psychiatrist and brain-hemisphere researcher Dr. Iain McGilchrist in the series one episode “Navigating beyond Materialism”, and I'm extremely glad I followed him up on it. What we discuss: 00:00 Intro 06:14 Asymmetry is also beautiful.  11:40 The more you know, the more you know you don't know. 18:00 ‘Interbeing' - buddhism and the philosophy of science. 22:00 Bacteria are our ancestors. 23:00 Sacred ancestral knowledge - belonging & gratitude for nature. 30:00 Extremely unlikely chemical steps and extinction events required for life to develop. 35:00 The chances of intelligent technological life on other planets. 37:00 Fine-tuned for life VS the anthropic principle. 50:30 Post-enlightenment sacredness. 52:00 The rise of reductionism.  01:03:30 Newton was troubled by his theory. 01:08:37 Strongly and weakly emergent phenomena. 01:12:00 Downward or upward causation? Dualism or monism? 01:17:50 Scientific concepts are stories, and stories are simplifications too. 01:21:20 “The Blind Spot: Why science cannot ignore human experience”. 01:26:31 “Sureptitious substitution” of concepts for experiences. 01:28:45 Is consciousness fundamental? 01:42:45 Blindspots in the hard sciences - jumps that are too big. 01:53:30 Marcelo''s new “The Island of Knowledge' centre in Tuscany.

#191: Professor of Physics and Astronomy Marcelo Gleiser explains why Earth, like all planets in our solar system and most likely beyond, is so unique in its climate and environmental make up. The ability for agriculture, humanity, and all other parts of nature to exist and thrive is tied directly to Earth's irreplaceable uniqueness, making our will to take action for its survival paramount.Marcelo Gleiser is a Brazilian theoretical physicist and professor of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. He writes a weekly science column for the Brazilian Folha de S.Paulo newspaper and a science and culture blog which was hosted by National Public Radio from 2011 to 2018, and is now hosted by BigThink under the name "Science, Culture, and Meaning." Gleiser is the 2019 recipient of the Templeton Prize.https://marcelogleiser.com/To watch a video version of this podcast please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/marcelo-gleiser-theres-no-place-like-earth-episode-one-hundred-ninety-oneThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Fans!https://www.realorganicproject.org/1000-real-fans/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

Since the Enlightenment, humanity has turned to science to answer profound questions about who we are, where we come from, and where we're headed. However, we've become stuck in the belief that we can fully understand the universe by viewing it from a detached, external perspective. In focusing solely on external physical realities, imagined from this objective standpoint, we overlook the vital role of our own lived experience. This is the "Blind Spot" that astrophysicist Adam Frank, theoretical physicist Marcelo Gleiser, and philosopher Evan Thompson discuss in their book “The Blind Spot: Why Science Cannot Ignore Human Experience”. They identify this “Blind Spot” as the root of many modern scientific challenges —whether it's in understanding time and the origin of the universe, quantum physics, the nature of life, artificial intelligence, consciousness, or Earth's function as a planetary system. In this episode of Bridging the Gaps, I speak with astrophysicist Adam Frank. Adam Frank is a renowned astrophysicist and professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester. He is a leading expert on the final stages of stellar evolution, particularly for stars like the sun. At the University of Rochester, his computational research group has developed cutting-edge supercomputer tools to study the formation and death of stars. A passionate advocate for science, Frank describes himself as an “evangelist of science,” dedicated not only to uncovering the mysteries of the cosmos but also to sharing the beauty and power of science with the public. He is equally committed to exploring science's broader role within culture, emphasising its relevance and context in our understanding of the world. His contributions to the field have earned him prestigious recognition, including the Carl Sagan Medal. In this discussion we delve into why it is crucial to recognize this “Blind Spot” and the profound implications it has for how we approach science and knowledge. By focusing solely on external, objective facts, we miss a deeper understanding of reality—one that includes our subjective experience as an integral part of the equation. This Blind Spot has led to significant challenges in fields like quantum physics, cosmology, and the study of consciousness, where the limitations of purely objective observation become evident. We also explore an alternative vision for science: that scientific knowledge should not be viewed as a fixed, immutable set of facts, but rather as a dynamic, evolving narrative. This narrative emerges from the constant interplay between the external world and our lived experience of it. In this view, science becomes a process of continuous self-correction, where both the observer and the observed are part of an evolving relationship. Frank stresses that recognizing this interplay allows us to break free from the illusion of absolute knowledge and opens up a more holistic, adaptive, and integrated way of understanding the universe. This shift in perspective has the potential to reshape how we approach not only scientific inquiry but also our relationship with reality itself. This has been an incredibly enlightening and deeply informative discussion, offering valuable insights and fresh perspective.

Has the idea of the end of the world captured your imagination? Ted Toadvine's book The Memory of the World: Deep Time, Animality, and Eschatology contends that a preoccupation with the world's precarity relies on a flawed understanding of time that neglects the past and present with the goal of managing the future. Toadvine integrates insights from phenomenology, deconstruction, critical animal studies, and new materialism to argue for a new philosophy of time that takes seriously the entangled temporal events spanning cosmic, geological, evolutionary, and human durations. Here Toadvine is joined in conversation with David Morris and Benjamin Décarie-Daigneault.Ted Toadvine is Nancy Tuana Director of the Rock Ethics Institute and professor of philosophy at The Pennsylvania State University.David Morris is professor of philosophy at Concordia University in Montreal.Benjamin Décarie-Daigneault is a graduate student of philosophy at The Pennsylvania State University.REFERENCES:Maurice Merleau-Ponty (body of works including Phenomenology of Perception)Immanuel KantDipesh ChakrabartyMichel Serres / The IncandescentMartin HeideggerJacques DerridaJean-Luc NancyJerome MillerHenri BergsonEdmund HusserlJames PlayfairJames Hutton (Hutton's Unconformity)John Sallis / StoneAdam Frank, Marcelo Gleiser, and Evan Thompson / The Blind SpotJane BennettDonald S.

Ted Toadvine's concept of ‘biodiacritics' should lead to a reorientation of the ‘eschatological imagination,' producing effects in knowledge that are as insightful as they are impactful.

In the fifth episode of the Philosophy of Meditation series, hosts John Vervaeke and Rick Repetti engage with Evan Thompson, a renowned cognitive scientist and philosopher, to explore the symbiosis of meditation, cognitive science, and philosophy. The episode highlights how Evan's early meditation practice shaped his philosophical outlook, emphasizing the experiential depth revealed by meditative states about consciousness. Discussions cover the transformative social aspects of meditation and philosophical views on death, underscoring Evan's perspective that meditation enriches, but should not solely define, philosophy. This insightful conversation traverses the transformative potential of meditation beyond calming the mind, delving into its role in personal development and intellectual growth. By merging philosophical rigor with meditation's lived experience, this conversation offers a nuanced understanding of meditation's role in enhancing human cognition and self-awareness, presenting a compelling case for its profound impact on philosophical thought.   Evan Thompson is a renowned philosopher and cognitive scientist, recognized for his significant contributions to the field of 4E cognitive science, which emphasizes embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended aspects of cognition. His work intricately bridges Western philosophy with Eastern contemplative practices, particularly Buddhism, exploring the intersections of consciousness, meditation, and the human experience. Thompson's influential writings include discussions on the philosophy of mind, meditation, and the nature of self, making him a respected figure in both academic and contemplative circles.   Glossary of Terms   4E Cognitive Science: A framework in cognitive science emphasizing four key factors: embodied, embedded, enacted, and extended cognition. Contemplative Perspectives: Approaches to understanding and experiencing reality that involve introspection and focused attention, often used in the context of meditation and mindfulness.   John Vervaeke: Website: https://johnvervaeke.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@johnvervaeke  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/johnvervaeke   X: https://twitter.com/vervaeke_john   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VervaekeJohn/   Rick Repetti: Website: https://www.rickrepetti.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rickrepetti/  X: https://twitter.com/rickrepetti  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/philosophicalpractitioner/   Evan Thompson: Website: https://evanthompson.me/ X: http://twitter.com/evantthompson Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evan.timothy.thompson   Join our new Patreon https://www.patreon.com/johnvervaeke   The Vervaeke Foundation - https://vervaekefoundation.org/   Awaken to Meaning - https://awakentomeaning.com/   John Vervaeke YouTube Awakening from the Meaning Crisis https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLND1JCRq8Vuh3f0P5qjrSdb5eC1ZfZwWJ Books, Articles, and Publications   Routledge Handbook on the Philosophy of Meditation - Rick Repetti  https://www.amazon.com/Routledge-Handbook-Philosophy-Meditation-Repetti/dp/036764746X Mind in Life: Biology, Phenomenology, and the Sciences of Mind - Evan Thompson https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Life-Biology-Phenomenology-Sciences/dp/0674057511/ Waking, Dreaming, Being: Self and Consciousness in Neuroscience, Meditation, and Philosophy - Evan Thompson https://www.amazon.com/Waking-Dreaming-Being-Consciousness-Neuroscience/dp/0231136951/ Why I Am Not a Buddhist - Evan Thompson https://www.amazon.com/Why-I-Am-Not-Buddhist-ebook/dp/B082P4FFRG/ Trying Not to Try: Ancient China, Modern Science, and the Power of Spontaneity - Edward Slingerland https://www.amazon.com/Trying-Not-Try-Ancient-Spontaneity/dp/077043763X/ The Blind Spot: Why Science Cannot Ignore Human Experience - Adam Frank, Marcelo Gleiser, Evan Thompson https://www.amazon.com/Blind-Spot-Science-Cannot-Experience/dp/0262048809/   Quotes    "I think of myself as first and foremost a philosopher of mind who works very much on cognitive science and in collaboration with cognitive scientists." - Evan Thompson [00:04:31]   Chapters   [00:00:00] - Series Introduction and Evan Thompson's Cognitive Science Expertise [00:02:13] - Integrating Western Philosophy with Buddhist Concepts in Cognitive Science [00:04:09] - Philosophical and Meditative Perspectives on Dying and Death  [00:07:44] - Cognitive Flexibility and Death Reflection in Meditation Practice [00:16:15] - Mindfulness Practices Across Various Traditions and Philosophical Inquiry [00:36:01] - Transformational Aspects of Meditation, Rituals, and Self-Cultivation [00:50:29] - The Role of Mindfulness in Modern Culture and Science [00:57:56] - Meditation as a Conduit Between Diverse Philosophical and Cultural Contexts [01:00:43] - Enhancing Consciousness and Attention Through Mindfulness Practices [01:14:00] - Concluding Dialogue  

Confira um dos melhores papos que rolaram ano passado enquanto preparamos mais episódios inéditos para 2024 Durante o período de férias de verão, nossa equipe selecionou alguns dos melhores papos do ano de 2023. Se você ainda não ouviu (ou quer rever a conversa), aqui está uma das escolhidas. Certamente você já ouviu falar da importância da ciência e da necessidade de mudar a relação entre ser humano e natureza. Afinal, o mundo não vai bem. E para debater essa triste realidade, o Trip FM ouviu um dos maiores cientistas do mundo, o físico e astrônomo Marcelo Gleiser, que há anos tem sido uma voz contundente na interpretação das angústias humanas e no futuro da humanidade. "Não tente construir narrativas de imortalidade, porque isso não vai acontecer. O segredo da vida é vivê-la da maneira mais intensa possível, e para isso, é necessário se alimentar bem, exercitar o corpo e a mente. Leia, escreva, jogue xadrez, aprenda uma nova língua para permanecer sempre alerta. Este é o segredo do transumanismo: tornar-se cada vez mais humano”, disse ele.

Questões sobre como surgiu tudo o que nos rodeia, a origem da própria vida e a inquietude de querer saber se estamos sozinhos no cosmo ocupavam — e ainda ocupam — sua mente. Em 1981, ele se formou em física na Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, fez mestrado na Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro e doutorado no King's College de Londres. Desde 1991, é professor e pesquisador no Dartmouth College, nos Estados Unidos. "A gente só aprende porque se questiona sobre as experiências que temos. Se você não tentar aprender com o que está acontecendo, com o que não deu certo, vai continuar errando sempre. Sou um estudioso não só da física, mas um estudioso da vida e, certamente, um estudioso do amor.” No papo, Marcelo falou ainda sobre o esporte como uma forma de meditação, a psicanálise auxiliada por substâncias psicodélicas, a vida, a morte, o amor e muito mais. A entrevista completa está disponível aqui no site da Trip e no Spotify.

Meu convidado nasceu e cresceu em Copacabana e desde cedo foi fascinado pela natureza. Perdeu a mãe quando tinha apenas 6 anos de idade e isso despertou nele o seu lado mais espiritualizado. Foi campeão carioca de vôlei mirim e infanto-juvenil. Em 1975, conquistou o campeonato brasileiro de vôlei infanto-juvenil na mesma equipe do famoso Bernardinho. Chegou a pensar em ser músico, mas por influência do pai, o senhor Isaac, ingressou no curso de Engenharia Química mas logo entendeu que gostava mesmo de física, matemática e cálculo. Transferiu-se para o curso de Física da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. Bacharelou-se em 1981, mesmo ano em que representou o voleibol brasileiro nos jogos Macabíadas em Israel, conquistando a medalha de prata. No ano seguinte fez seu mestrado na Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro e um doutorado no King's College de Londres. Em 1983 foi Campeão Universitário de voleibol do Reino Unido. Fez um estágio de pós-doutorado no Instituto de Física Teórica da Universidade da Califórnia e no Fermilab, um dos mais importantes laboratórios de física de partículas do mundo. Em 1991 foi nomeado professor assistente de física e astronomia no Dartmouth College em New Hampshire e sete anos depois assumiu como professor titular do posto. Publicou cerca de 100 artigos científicos – seu principal objeto de estudo é a cosmologia. Foi colunista do jornal Folha de S.Paulo e apresentou duas séries sobre cosmologia no programa Fantástico, da TV Globo. Após muitos anos focado na vida acadêmica e profissional, em 2011, aos 52 anos de idade, correu sua primeira meia-maratona. Depois pegou gosto pelas corridas de obstáculos Spartan e chegou a ficar entre os 5 primeiros melhores do mundo na sua faixa etária nos anos 2014 e 2015. Depois começou a correr ultra maratonas em montanhas e trilhas pelo mundo inteiro. Entre as 18 provas de até 100k que correu até hoje, estão algumas edições da UTMB, a Lavaredo Ultra Trail, a Vermont 50, a Ultra Trail Cape Town, Conosco aqui o físico agnóstico, astrônomo, Ph.D em filosofia, professor, escritor, pesquisador e palestrante sobre tópicos relacionados à inovação, tecnologia, ciência, liderança e mais amplamente, sobre o futuro coletivo da humanidade em um planeta com recursos limitados. Autor de 15 livros traduzidos em 18 idiomas e vencedor, entre outros, do Prêmio Templeton em 2019, uma espécie de Nobel da espiritualidade que anualmente é destinado a profissionais com contribuições excepcionais para a afirmação da dimensão espiritual da vida, seja por meio de insights, descobertas ou obras práticas.

As co-host Latif Nasser was putting his kid to bed one night, he noticed something weird on a solar system poster up on the wall: Venus had a moon called … Zoozve.  But when he called NASA to ask them about it, they had never heard of Zoozve, and besides that, they insisted that Venus doesn't have any moons.  So begins a tiny mystery that leads to a newly discovered kind of object in our solar system, one that is simultaneously a moon, but also not a moon, and one that waltzes its way into asking one of the most profound questions about our universe:  How predictable is it, really? And what does that mean for our place in it?Special Thanks to Larry Wasserman and everyone else at the Lowell Observatory, Rich Kremer and Marcelo Gleiser of Dartmouth College, Benjamin Sharkey at the University of Maryland.

We will learn: Why our disconnection with nature is more dangerous than you think, and who may be manipulating our beliefs. The mysteries of empty space and the hidden dimensions that may exist right where we stand. How to break the chains of insignificance and discover the untapped power within.  Have you ever questioned the true impact of your actions, or even your thoughts, on the world around you? I think we're seeing one side of this. I don't think any of us will deny that, as a whole, humans have lost their connection with nature. This disconnect didn't just begin with industrialization; its roots stretch far back in history, intertwined with the evolution of scientific thought. It's important to remember that much of what we accept as settled science is still evolving. We're continually discovering new, profound insights that border on the magical. And isn't it ironic? We've been conditioned to see our reality as kind of mundane, not realizing that life is really magical. We are not isolated beings fighting against the world; we are vital parts of a vibrant, interconnected web of existence. So, how do we reclaim this magical, empowering perspective? How do we start seeing nature not as something separate but as an extension of ourselves and a reflection of the divine? That's what we're talking about today.  Our guest is Marcel Gleiser. He is the Appleton Professor of Natural Philosophy and professor of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College, a world-renowned theoretical physicist and public intellectual. He's authored hundreds of technical and nontechnical papers and essays and six books in English translated into 18 languages. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a recipient of the Presidential Faculty Fellows Award from the White House, and founder and past director of the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Engagement at Dartmouth.

Have you ever wondered what our unique place is in this universe?   There is an intricate connection between humans, nature, and the universe, and that's what my guest, Marcelo Gleiser and I dive into in this episode of the Darin Olien Show.    We also discuss how science actually works and  the importance of credibility and accuracy in scientific knowledge, how we can take active steps to mend our relationship with our home planet, and astrobiology – which is the study of life in the universe, as well as exploring the possibility of extraterrestrial life.    Marcelo Gleiser is a theoretical physicist and author of The DAWN of a Mindful Universe. He's also a public intellectual at Dartmouth College working on basic research ranging from cosmology and applications of information theory to complex phenomena to history and philosophy of science and how science and culture interact. He is devoted to the public understanding of science and is a popular speaker with a strong social media presence and books published in 15 languages.    What we discuss:   (0:07:15) - The importance of credibility in science, the challenges of misinformation, and the evolving nature of scientific knowledge   (0:23:07) - The environmental crisis, the role of individual actions, and the power of education and collective change   (0:30:22) - The interconnectedness of humans and nature, the physiological benefits of being in nature, and the responsibility humans have to the universe   (0:46:37) - Tribalism, human interconnectedness, the changes brought about by the pandemic, and the power of the human spirit and consumerism   (0:57:12) - The realm of astrobiology, contemplating the uniqueness of humanity, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and humanity's place in the universe   Thank you to our sponsors: Manna Vitality: Go to www.mannavitality.com and use code DARIN12 at checkout for 12% off.

What is the nature of existence? Why is there something rather than nothing? And what are our limits of knowledge? These are questions that have captured the imaginations of pretty much every culture that has ever existed. Our guest this week, Marcelo Gleiser, co-authored a fascinating New York Times op-ed titled, “The Story of Our Universe May Be Starting to Unravel.” Gleiser is the Appleton Professor of Natural Philosophy and a professor of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College. He's also author of numerous books, including his most recent one, “The Dawn of a Mindful Universe: A Manifesto for Humanity's Future.” Gleiser joins WITHpod to discuss why different scientific methods of measuring the age of the universe continually yield different results, contemporary departures from longstanding theories about the origins of the universe, the importance of us cultivating time to think about life's big questions and more. Note that this episode was recorded on September 28th, 2023 and we held it for release until today.

Físico fala da meditação no esporte, psicanálise auxiliada por substâncias psicodélicas, vida, morte e amor Se você também está enfrentando as ondas de calor, vivenciando os tsunamis meteorológicos, ou acompanhou espantado os noticiários sobre os tornados e tempestades na Região Sul do Brasil, certamente ouviu falar da importância da ciência e da necessidade de mudar a relação entre ser humano e natureza. Afinal, o mundo não vai bem. E para debater essa triste realidade, o Trip FM ouviu um dos maiores cientistas do mundo, o físico e astrônomo Marcelo Gleiser, que há anos tem sido uma voz contundente na interpretação das angústias humanas e no futuro da humanidade. "Não tente construir narrativas de imortalidade, porque isso não vai acontecer.

Você é ultramaratonista, como isso ajuda na preservação da sua mente, é também uma forma de meditar? Em uma ultramaratona, tudo dói, você fica desidratado, com câimbra, com fome, mas a medida que o seu corpo quebra, a sua alma se abre. O grande desafio é como você vai sobrepujar o que a cabeça te pede, porque chega uma hora que você nem sabe quem é, entra em sintonia completa com a natureza ao redor: é a exposição ao que melhor existe na essência do ser humano. Nosso corpo foi feito para correr, para estar na natureza. Nas cidades a gente paga um preço emocional muito grande por estar longe da natureza. A ideia da meditação em movimento é a de estar totalmente presente no momento, com foco no movimento. É uma maneira de parar de pensar, o que é inestimável. Em que medida a perda da sua mãe aos seis anos fez parte da sua busca pelo desconhecido? Quando você é uma criança e perde uma mãe, há um vácuo emocional gigantesco. Isso molda quem você é como ser humano. Primeiro eu me senti vitimado: “O que eu fiz para merecer essa vida?”. Ali eu entendi que o tempo é o nosso grande mestre. A mãe é aquela que jamais pode abandonar o filho, mas essa ótica era muito centrada em mim. Com o passar dos anos eu fui começando a entender que a perda foi dela, a dor de perder a vida aos 38 anos foi dela. Comecei a entender esse processo de uma forma mais generosa e menos egoísta. Quando algo acontece com a gente, a tendência é a de se vitimar e esquecer o que aconteceu com as outras pessoas que estão em volta de você. Aprendi que se houvesse alguma coisa a me relacionar com a perda da minha mãe seria dedicar a minha vida a viver o que ela não pode viver. Essa força de explorar o mistério é de uma certa forma uma maneira de me engajar com esse desconhecido. E a morte é esse desconhecido. O que significa ser humano? Somos uns bichos muito estranhos, temos um lado todo animal, a gente precisa comer, secreta o que não precisa no meio ambiente, se reproduz, tem emoções parecidas com as de muitos outros mamíferos. Mas, por outro lado, nós questionamos quem somos, criamos teorias sobre o universo, tentamos entender se existe vida fora da terra, escrevemos sinfonias... Tudo isso é um grande esforço para preservar a nossa presença no mundo. Quando você lê um poema do Vinicius de Moraes, ele está contigo. Você só morre quando ninguém mais lembra que você viveu. Nenhum outro bicho faz isso. O que você pode dizer por essa busca pelo transumano, a busca pela vida eterna? Desde a Idade Média, a expectativa de vida dobrou. A ciência já está aumentando a vida, mas até onde a gente pode ir? Será que a ciência pode conquistar a morte? É o mito do Frankenstein. O transumanismo é a última versão dessa história. São duas correntes: uma de usar implantes no corpo e expandir a sua capacidade de visão, força, etc. E tem essa visão de ficção científica de você se transformar em uma nuvem de informação transportada de máquina em máquina. Não tem nada de científico nisso. O que me interessa é o seguinte: viva a vida da melhor forma enquanto você está vivo. Não tente tecer histórias de imortalidade porque isso não vai acontecer. O segredo da vida é vivê-la da maneira mais intensa e para isso é preciso se alimentar bem, exercitar o corpo e a mente. Leia, escreva, jogue xadrez, aprenda uma língua nova para continuar sempre alerta. Esse é o segredo do transumanismo, ser cada vez mais humano, aqui.

This is a wide-ranging conversation covering topics such as Newtonian physics, the Copernican revolution, life in space, genetics, the interconnectedness of life and teaching. It kept coming back to teaching and the type of education we should be bringing to the classroom. This conversation can affect the way you teach. It can refocus you on a modern approach to education and dare I say, what really matters. And, what really matters first and foremost is our relationships with the students, followed by our relationships with the curriculum, and getting to the heart of learning through stories that connect the brain to the heart…and it's in that place that lasting learning takes place. It's there that students begin to learn, not because they have to but because they want to. It was a pleasure and a privilege to speak with Dr. Gleiser. Be sure to check out all these links to his website and publications and socials and also to his latest book, which will soon be in my school's library.Website: https://marcelogleiser.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3fqH16afbPKHx7ABOyQ0soOWyy0RlUOP&si=l5nfcWPscnzHajJjTwitter: @MGleiserInstagram: @GleiserofficialBlog series: https://bigthink.com/13-8/Templeton page: https://marcelogleiser.com/media-templeton-prizeTempleton prize website: https://www.templetonprize.org

REFLECTION QUOTES “The special mark of the modern world is not that it is skeptical, but that it is dogmatic without knowing it. The moderns believe without knowing what they believe—and without even knowing that they do believe it.” ~G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), English writer and literary critic “If your heart beats for Christ the king, then your heart will beat for the advance of the His rule.” ~Rhys Bezzant, Dean of Missional Leadership at Ridley College (Australia) “To me science is a flirt with the unknown. We're trying to figure things out, but there's so much going on right now, all around us, that's invisible to the eye, and science is kind of is a bridge to this mystery, and by walking on this bridge we kind of have a better sense of who we are.” ~Marcelo Gleiser, Dartmouth professor, as quoted in the Valley News 3-20-2019 “Our pleasure and our duty, Though opposite before; Since we have seen his beauty, Are joined to part no more: It is our highest pleasure, No less than duty's call; To love him beyond measure, And serve him with our all.” ~John Newton (1725-1801), English clergyman and abolitionist “To see the Law by Christ fulfilled, And hear his pard'ning voice; Changes a slave into a child, And duty into choice.” ~William Cowper (1731-1800), English poet, one of the most popular poets of his time SERMON PASSAGE Matthew 28:18-20, Ephesians 1:15-23, Ephesians 4:10-16 (ESV) Matthew 28 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Ephesians 1 15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. Ephesians 4 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

C. S. Lewis's “The Screwtape Letters” has a lot of amazing insights on the working of our enemy, but one of my favorites occurs when the demon undersecretary advises his nephew: “Above all, do not attempt to use science…as a defence against Christianity. [It] will positively encourage [your patient] to think about realities he can't touch and see. There have been sad cases among the modern physicists.” Of course, what Uncle Screwtape calls “sad cases” are wins for Christianity! One such case is Dartmouth theoretical physicist Marcelo Gleiser, who was recently profiled by Scientific American. Gleiser is known for studying the properties of the early universe, the behavior of fundamental particles, and the origin of life—in other words, he's studying those realities we can't touch or see that Screwtape mentioned. To be clear, Gleiser calls himself an agnostic, not a Christian. Still, he's the latest recipient of the Templeton Prize—awarded to individuals who have made “an exceptional contribution to affirming life's spiritual dimension.” The reason is simple: Gleiser, unlike many science popularizers in our day, boldly admits that science has its limits and urges his fellow scientists to respect those limits. There's a metaphor he uses to illustrate this, which he calls the Island of Knowledge. It's also the title of a book he's written. He urges us all to imagine all the discoveries of science as a small island, surrounded by an ocean of the unknown. “The paradox of knowledge,” he observes, “is that as it expands and the boundary between the known and the unknown changes, you inevitably start to ask questions that you couldn't even ask before.” In other words, science is so limited that not only are there many things we don't know, we don't even know how much we don't know! Thus, the very best scientists are humble—recognizing the limits of their discipline and understanding that science cannot offer answers about ultimate meaning, purpose, or moral truth. This is quite a contrast to many science popularizers, who frequently wander off the Island of Knowledge into water way over their heads. Gleiser mentions both Lawrence Krauss and the late Stephen Hawking, both known for making bold claims that science not only tells us how the universe exists, but why. Another well-known example is Carl Sagan, who famously began his “Cosmos” TV series with this pronouncement: “The cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be.” All of these men were or are outspoken in their atheism, confidently declaring that science disproves the existence of God, or at least renders Him unnecessary. Categorical statements of non-belief like this, says Gleiser, don't just go beyond the bounds of science. They're actually incompatible with the scientific method. “This whole notion of finality and final ideas,” he told Scientific American, is “just an attempt to turn science into a religious system.” There's a name for that religious system: scientism—the belief that science is the only valid source of human knowledge. Instead of staying humble and curious, proponents of scientism insist that any question we can't answer in a laboratory isn't worth asking. In effect, they stand on the little island of knowledge and deny the ocean lapping at their toes. This reminds me of a debate between apologist William Lane Craig and Oxford chemist Peter Atkins. Atkins called science “omnipotent”—that's a Divine attribute! According to him, there's nothing science cannot explain. Craig smiled, disagreed and then listed five things science can't explain: logical and mathematical truths, metaphysical truths like the existence of other minds and the external world, ethical values, aesthetic judgments, and most importantly, the scientific method itself! Gleiser may not be convinced yet of God's existence, but I do pray for the increase of this theoretical physicist's tribe. We need more scientists who give faith a fair shake, and fewer advocates of scientism who think they already know all the answers.
