I can’t stop looking at his shoes.
hopefully no dalmatians were harmed in the making of those
I don't always agree with Alan Moore, but I find the man mesmerising and a pleasure to listen to.
gotta love the guy at around 30:00 who grabs the opportunity to debate philosophy with alan moore.
Carl Jung again:
"The psyche is not of today; its ancestry goes back many millions of years. Individual consciousness is only the flower and fruit of a season, sprung from the perennial rhizome beneath the earth; and it would find itself in better accord with the truth if it took the existence of the rhizome into its calculations. For the root matter is the mother of all things."
Thanks for uploading.
brilliant man
I'm glad he talked about Dave Sim.

OooOoo Mr Moore really should read House of Leaves and comment on it
@43:10 - what is that word? Can't find anything like it anywhere.
Living the same life over and over even if you could change events is a drag. At least the Hindu’s and Buddhists get to experience a bit of everything changing species, race, gender and economic position, some even think you can be reborn in different time periods in history and I judge myself enough as it is thank you very much.
Yes much prefer the reincarnation option. Even if I do so badly in this life I come back as a slug at least I might be pretty good at being a slug so I might have a shot at being a mouse in the life after next.
Nice shoes!
He's right, but it's hard to come up with a counter culture when culture is fragmented all to hell.
David, are you going to post your talk from that night?
Why the devil not?
please do! It was intruiging and I didn't catch all of it due to the spirit of jazz doing his thing outside the dome... ;)
Anyone catch what he said at the very end?

It’s not “ infinite universe” but “eternal return”.
David Deutsch Refutes Alan Moores view of mind moving through the block universe. nothing moves in a block universe, how could it?
Time is the block, not the universe. meaning all things are happening simultaneously. We see the abstraction of it passing by us but we are passing through it; like worms in the apple of time.
Deustch denies that anything moves through time or that time moves. Humans mistake the human capacity to compare their memories with their current perceptions and notice the difference between the two as the capacity to detect "time flow". no such time-flow exists either as illusion or as reality. It is merely mistaken interpretation.
If time doesn't exist in reality or as an illusion then it must exist as an abstraction.
Time does exist - "time flow" does not. And something existing as an abstraction is not very informative, even unicorns exist as abstractions.
I want what the audience is on lol
Do you know how difficult is for a native spanish speaker to understand what mr. Moore says?
I do, but I have hear him talking so much that I'm getting better at understanding him.
It's kind of hard for a native English speaker. You kind of just have to hold on.
I'm a native Czech speaker and I have no issues understanding him. I think it's not the case of where you are from and what is your native language, but just how much you're used to listening to different British accents.
The problem with millennials having a counter culture is we don't have a culture to counter. What would anyone call "typical millennial culture"?
There's only culture, distinctions are a personal map at best. And millennials are a marketing distinction, it doesn't mean anything.
I think David Foster Wallace was on the ball with this in his essay e unibus pluram. The worst part of modern culture is the desperation to break from all tradition without replacing it with anything better.: all traditions are apriori suspect and should be abandoned. This is the worst type of lazy scepticism.
Our new counter-culture is taking the idea behind the dissolution of the authority (which is important and true) of tradition, but bringing back into focus the importance of traditions. We broke with all the old traditions,. but we created new traditions in its stead, the millenials deny and reject any such notions. Traditions are important but not infallible. the mistake was to disqualify all notions of tradition out of hand. that lead to irony, since tradition is always there, and so we need to pretend we dont like it, while being immersed in it.

We don't need a counterculture then, we need some culture. Something more than the trash, throw away "culture" we get these days.
Some Carl Jung quotes:
"Man has always lived in the myth and we think we are able to be born today and live in no myth and without history. What we need is development of the inner spiritual man, the unique individual whose treasure is hidden on the one hand in the symbols of our mythological tradition, and on the other hand in man's unconscious psyche."
"...a natural function which has existed from the beginning, like the religious function, cannot be disposed of with rationalistic and so-called enlightened criticism... Religion, in the sense of conscientious regard for the irrational factors of the psyche and individual fate, reappears - evilly distorted - in the deification of the State and the dictator: *Naturam expellas furca tamen usque recurret* (you can throw out Nature with a pitchfork, but she'll always turn up again)."
Culture, Not Subculture
