Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2012
- Steven talks to us about psychology and human nature.
1. Does the theory of evolution apply to behavior?
2. How did people explain behavior before the theory of evolution?
3. What helped us move into different theories of human nature?
4. Are our policies affected by theories of human nature?
5. How to think about individual responsibility in a world where psychology has biological origins?
6. So social responsibility is built into our biology?!
7. What's your opinion on the social brain hypothesis? - Наука та технологія
It's really hard to understand, in the 21st century, how anyone could have thought that humans have no innate behavior, that we were nothing more than blank slates to be written on by culture. But somehow that became the prevailing view!

Please allow auto-generated captions, thanks.
hi from chile, excelent video; excellent audio; enable subtitles!!! today its pretty important to spread this talk!
Thought-provoking, thank you. That said, at 2:03, I'd say it's pretty obvious why we seek revenge and I argue it does serve a purpose, it communicates to the tribe, "Beat me today and there'll be consequences in the future"
Thanks so much

How does human nature evolve by the means of taste aversion?

Thank's a lot, I missed those details...
What was the point of the other guy sitting there?
Maybe the speaker was more comfortable speaking to a person than just into a camera.
Jeremy Ring

+Guy Geddes hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Nice observation... hunched over listening
He's the interviewer asking questions, when he does so it is edited out.
nature and the living creature are emotionally and psychologically connected to their own existence ,in case of human being the mental status also reflected by surrounding atmosphere and diet plan ,

STREAM MOTIVATION BY NORMANI KORDEI
Mechanistic views of the world and even evolution theories existed before Darwin, as far as I know. Darwin, however, was scientifically persuasive.
"as far as you know"?? what do you know, where did you learn it? It is quite possible they did exist, and true Darwin was not the 1st scientist/thinker to think about the possibilities of evolution...Darwin's work was quite complete and as you say "persuasive".

If it's a religious cause, the argument could be it's not me, god made me this way. Religion doesn't have a unique answer.
I know that without generalization we can hardly make a statement about anything other than ourselves but overgeneralization with an agenda is also be looked at sceptically.
Yes, human beings are social animals but in small gatherings not in huge cities like ants.
An ant-like society requires a hierarchy that is not looked at favourably by those who want equality under the law.
Pinker is often guilty of overgeneralization with an agenda to convince us that everything is OK and for example, the climate crisis will fix itself.
His ideas about language are also oversimplified and that is supposed to be his discipline.
So, take everything he says with a large pinch of salt.
Very well put. I think the problem is that there is no objective well defined line to cross for something to be an overgeneralization it's kinda like that mound of sand paradox
i’m only here because my teacher told me to watch this video and i’m bored
Jose Naredo Hola bebote
That's becausse he talks in typical darwinian, 19th century ideological based jargon which denotes the human to random chemical process *whicwas intended topromote capitalism and other inhumane ways of dominating the world. It's ok to be inhumane because its just mechanical. That may be why find it boring.
All of us have this problem. We have hundreds of personalities. Religion called them capital sin.... We have a lazy personality, a lust personality, an envy personality so on and so on.... In the Tibet they called them Psychological aggregates, ancient egyptians called them red demons. Us we call it ego, This word comes from latin which means " I ".
Each personality/Ego takes turn throughout the day in controlling us, This is the reason we are 3% consciousness and 97% ego. And when each invade our psychic, They always take complete control of our thoughts, Feelings, Body.
We just need to look into our everyday life to find hundreds of examples but I will give a few so we understand a little bit better. When the "anger ego" takes control of our body.... Some one hits us in the face. Immediately the ego takes control of our feelings, we start cursing him mentally and feeling like we need to throw a rock at his face "How dare this Piece of shit does this to me, Im gonna kill him"... Eventually, (some wrongly think these changes happen at the same time, but they are wrong) It takes control of our thoughts and we start thinking on how to attack him, After it will take control of our body or motor skills and we will end up throwing punches or any other physical outcome... Of course, each human is different, We all have the same ego but some will have them in a lower level of they mind or some of them in a higher level of their mind (The mind is composed of 49 levels) In this situation or example the anger ego came out, But in another person the ego of fear could take place...
This is the reason when these aggregates take control of a man that found out his wife was cheating on him and ended up stabbing her, When he is getting interrogated by the police a lot of time they say the same phrase "It wasn't me... I don't remember.... They cry not understanding what happened , Etc etc"
In order to awaken or consciousness we need to eradicate each psychological aggregate. How? Luckily for us, we might eliminate at least 50% of it by ourselves... The other 50% Can only be done by Kundalini Shakti, or how christians called it our virgin mary, This is only possible throughout alchemy.
It is a shame that we are walking in this earth completely asleep. Completely controlled by our ego therefore we cannot see our past lives... We cannot see the elementals of this earth... We cannot see the other dimensions of space.... Etc Etc Etc ETC. But most important WE CANNOT SEE OUR INDIVIDUAL FATHER. Each one of us have a father, this is a small percentage of GOD inside us. When we awaken our consciousness we are able to see him in the astral world (unfortunately, we do not even remember what did we even dreamt yesterday, MUCH LESS we will be able to go into the astral world being conscious) . He will be able to manifest himself throughout us and perform REAL MIRACLES.
Lucky for us we have the energy to wake up from these awful state inside us.
Lucky for us Samael Aun Weor revealed all the secrets for us. He is the perfect example to understand this is COMPLETELY POSSIBLE & TRUTH.
Me myself in the name of truth could tell you I HAVE VERIFIED THIS MY SELF (OF COURSE haven't seen my father or made contact with him YET, THE MAGNUM OPUS takes your whole life to complete.. but been able to eliminate some aggregates and been able to go in the 5th dimension or astral world conscious )
Please find out the truth and start the path NOW. Let me point you in which direction to go and you follow your heart. I promise you this is the best gift the divine and our older brothers could have given us. THE TRUTH.
Many are lost, buddhism, christianity, religion, masonry, Witchcraft, Black magic, "Spiritual teachers" etc etc.... Are lost. They have lost themselves. All there is is EGO. And a blind person cannot help another blind person to see.
I am more than happy to answer you ANY QUESTION. Regarding any topic, that the pseudoscience cannot answer. Any question that religion cannot explain.
We have a well of wisdom that we all could drink from... The same well people like Jesus, Confucius, Lao Tze, Buddha, Samael Aun Weor, Pitagoras etc etc Drank from...
