Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
His phrasing of an existentialist's definition of immoral at 49:47 was rather novel for me: "What's immoral are those things you could change that you do that result in outcomes that are catastrophic for you."
I've been thinking about this a lot recently, but more along the lines of pain/pleasure principles. For whatever reasons, probably rooted in arguments for objective morality, I've had morality equated with ethics as values being ALMOST independent of the world (not really, but as high ideas/transcendent phenomena). The above quote collapses many of these terms into the same thing for me - making the conception of being in the world more elegant and simple. Good video.
In case any of you didn't make it through to the end, this powerful quote comes up:
"Society has become carnivorous and pathological in precise proportion to the degree that the individuals who make up that society become deceitful and irresponsible."
the next lecture in the series is also very good
amazing, thank you.
Really interesting. Thank you for posting.
"Attention is a higher order than intellect" - this is exactly Zen.
I love the lecturer's calm lecturing style. All those thoughtful pauses are really effective, for me anyway.
