Cognitive Science Rescues the Deconstructed Mind | John Vervaeke | TEDxUofT

[antoniobarbalau]

The awakening from the meaning crysis series is the best lecture series I have ever seen. It is just beyond comprehension how a human being can go so deep into these matters and present them to the large public in an inteligeble manner. Prof. Vervaeke is a pure genius ♥️ I whole heartedly recommend this series

[reniaesaddler]

💯 The modern mind IS fragmented. As fragmented as we are from each other. There is nothing that unites us, nationally or globally. We have forgotten our human dignity, our souls, but it’s the things of the soul which can unite us.

"Stitch over those gaps".
I said something very similar to my friend when discussing the Awakening from the Meaning Crisis series. It's like I have all this knowledge about philosophy, history and other stuff, but Dr. Vervaeke stitches them all together that it all starts to make great sense!

Nice preface to the Awakening from the Meaning Crisis series.

[hamedmoradi]

In a sense Cognitive Science embarks upon the project that Existential Psychology undertook, namely to see man as a whole and not as fragmentized and compartmentalized elements.

[rifatulislamhimel]

WOW!! I love this discussion. Only cognition can combine or integrate different disciplines together. That's what I like about cognitive science. It's so powerful.

Johnny V has one of the best YT channels ever...

Really nice talk, inspiring to freshmen neuroscience student like me

This is a really interesting topic and Dr. Vervaeke sounds like an amazing teacher I would loved to be enrolled with.
I often feel like for most humans that understanding of causal interaction is innate and that's why people don't consider it an urgent matter. Personally I've got some cognitive disabilities due to childhood trauma and I'm convinced figuring out that language of causal interaction will happen through technology and AI advancements. But there's one trick. Human cognition isn't only thoughts that can be explained through language, no matter which language. It's also emotional reactions and visualization. It all ties in with memory in the prefrontal cortex. We need to figure out how to generate that emergence through computer simulation so that it includes not only a lossy encryption through language, but an actual recreation on the biological chemistry level. At least that's what it should take to break through with AI and really be able to use it to collect data on the human brain as well.

The clinical tests that Johns Hopkins and NYU have been conducting, under Dr Roland Griffiths, with Psilocybin-assisted therapy has inspired me to get into cognitive sciences/pharmacology. I think I finally figured out what I want to study in the age of 30 😂

[Beederda]

I appreciate your time JV ❤️🍄 i am with a fractured mind and struggling to finish the awakening from the meaning crisis series my own self deception is bringing ruin to the mind. I can only explain my feeling situation as free falling with no ground in sight, pre-shattered waiting for the ground to hit me… abysmally lost in existential thought and I don’t really have anyone to talk to the feeling of burden is something I can’t quite explain why its a feeling we feel and embrace but it’s definitely there crippling me to no end.

[KarimaCynthiaClayton]

Yes, synthesizing the core of these disciplines is possible, largely with developing a new language. And by the way, there IS something mysterious and magical in us all! Your meditation class will bring that out in participants.😎🤺🙏

Cognitive Science: A branch of psychology that aims to figuratively find out how minds work without literally having to figure out how minds work. Not to be confused with 2nd generation cognitive science, which aims to literally figure out how minds work without figuring.
2nd Generation Cognitive Science: Coined by the linguist George Lakoff. In contrast to to 1st generation cognitive science, holds that behavior occurs primarily due to the influence of sensori-motor areas of the body, or 'embodiment'. That means that your day to day decisions are more likely to be due to that day old burrito you ate this morning than any purely thinking processes going on in your noggin, which come to think of it makes sense.

coolio, gonna study cogsci at UCSD next fall

[andrewizzoclarke]

Vervaeke needs to be as popular as Jordan Peterson, for everyone’s sake.

[erichacop]

Dude, I want everyone reading this to imagine, JUST IMAGINE... if this guy was the president!!






Have a good day!

Love cannot be found in stature, science, and books… whatever people chatter about, that way is not the lovers’ way. 💚

Where do you recommend me to take the Cognitive science master program? I'm currently a UX designer
