Der Neurowissenschaftler Antonio Damasio über Shakespeare
als Held der Neurowissenschaften, über affektgesteuerte Bakterien und die gefährliche These, Menschen seien nichts als Algorithmen.
I wish he had pointed up the difference between feelings and emotions, something he did in earlier books. Emotions are the movement and feelings are our interpretation of our emotions.
For a long time I have been trying to understand the difference between feelings and emotions
I was thinking that this really reminded me of Spinoza, then did an internet search and found out Prof. Damasio wrote a book called 'Looking for Spinoza' :-) next on my reading list then :-)
Sabine? Is that you? What a delight!
Consciousness... I would also relate this to the brain perceiving no absolute values, whatsoever, but the differences between them.. i feel happy, and experience what is happiness in contrast to sadness..
If i am happy each second of my life, this notion disappears for me... I get blind to happiness.
That sounds logical. The brain should not be thought of as the master of the body. Feelings are an important part of consciousness. Yes that's true.
He is speaking the absolute truth of "Mind being the servant of the body". If anyone reading this comment wants to find and experience it by themselves of how the body controls the mind, attend 10 days of vipassana meditation retreat based on the technique taught by Buddha 2500 years ago.
This great man should be up for a Nobel!
Its a great work, Antonio.
Grande Mestre
1:24 Call attention to feelings as the motivator, the monitor and the negotiator of all our processes culture whether they are occuring in arts, culture or social or political space.
1:58 Feeling do produce in the brain but in interaction with the body. Feelings are produced in the corporation of the brain and the body. So the brain is the servant of the body and not the other way around.
2:53 Homeostasis is the regulation of life, it's what's at the bottom. It is synchronization, perfect balance of each and every cell and system of the body to regulate the whole. Feelings are representing what's going on in your body. If something going wrong, you're going to have bad feeling; discomfort, malaise. Feeling is the painting/orchestra of the homeostatic processes occuring.
6:09 Mind is the result of the interaction of a brain and a body. 6:53 Our culture is built on the feeling of the fear of mortality. It is the control of our culture.
R u from IIIT Jabalpur coz this was exactly what I needed for my assignment !!!
great insight on AI.
What Antonio Damasio does for me is confirm and explain what I have sensed since childhood, that feelings are fundamental to consciousness, that they are the fundamental manifestation of life. I believed that intellect was everything, so was embarrassed by the degree to which I felt and was driven by feelings, but now, very late in my life, I realise that feelings are part of our instinctual, sensual self, the self that in my ignorance, I have spent most of my life avoiding or suppressing. I am so grateful for Dr Damasio's work, which I hope will help us become more fully and genuinely human.
I’d be interested on his views on Elon’s Neuralink.
i appreciate everyones thoughs but the exact opposite happen all the time so the servant is the material-> the body
0:01 Does that book exists?
This is a weird episode of Dieter's Dance Party!
Hume was right!
wow amazing

He gets about 1/3rd right. Similar to Kahneman, Searle, and Chomsky. This is the problem with intuitive arguments.
It's not intuitive arguments, it's a lifelong of neurological research and then trying to find the images to translate it to ordinary people like you and me
@Mike
> Those are all quite heavy hitting academics.
I'm sure they are fine academically.
> it’s fairly bold to say they all 2/3rds wrong when they’re experts within each of their differentiated fields.
True, in their fields. However, in this field, they are just guessing.
> Especially when Kahneman’s work literally specialises on intuition.
His Nobel Prize was on his work concerning judgement and decision making which has absolutely nothing to do with a theory of consciousness. His book, "Thinking, Fast and Slow" came out in 2011, but not a single breakthrough has been generated because of it.
> I’m genuinely curious about this broad and revolutionary wisdom you could impart on the world?
I'm not a philosopher so I don't have any wisdom. As a scientist, all I have is evidence.
Could you expand on that? I'm familiar with Kahneman but it's been a while.
@@rapisode1 Kahneman had fast and slow thinking.
@@scientious yes but didn't Kahneman say that emotional learning (system 1) was the winner in his eyes?
Shakespeare??? I have to disagree. Nietzsche in comparison to Shakespeare is the equivalent to comparing the book "old yeller" to "the doors of perception". One is on a level children can understand while the other might require the average person to need a dictionary and thesaurus at every other sentence.
Comparing Nietzsche and Shakespeare is apples to oranges. The difference is that the former tries to expressly articulate his psychology while the latter shows it embodied in the actions, thoughts and speech of his characters. I don't think it's hard to argue that Shakespeare's psychology is much more nuanced and complex than Nietzsche's although this is only because he SHOWS emotion/motivation/feeling rather than articulating it conceptually. Nietzsche gives us an articulated psychology of ressentiment, the drives etc, whereas Shakespeare shows us the raw subject matter from which we can derive psychological inferences about the complexity of motivations and feelings. They do different things. I agree with Damasio here, just because the raw material is always going to be more rich than conclusions derived from the raw material, since the raw material the condition of those conclusions.
Nietzsche said that one must become powerful and destroy the weak. Great psychologist indeed!
Descartes has no error. This man is wrong.
umut...
BIG IDIOT! Damásio, is a extraordinary "chercheur" in the neurosciences.
Força António, és o orgulho de Portugal!!
