Excellent.... nice to see two together, previously Distinguished Dr. Deepak Chopra taking book of Distinguishd Dr. Sean Carroll in his hand, used to quote alone .... beautiful combination of two Great from Science and spirtual, thus helping viewers to understand better & in depth the existence best collective approach to solve various challenges faced by humanity like hard problem of consciousness thanks 🙏.

[georgt.]

I enjoy Deepak as well as Sean Carroll very much since a long time ... very profound and important exchange .... please continue soon 👍👍

[christianvillabona]

Simply great stuff!!!
We are lucky to have the opportunity to listen to this conversation.
Thanks to both Deepak and Sean for helping to further our knowledge and understanding of reality.

[dr.keshavamurthy]

Thank you Deepak sir. Thank you Sean Caroll sir

[Lance_Lough]

Carroll and Chopra! —Mixing water and oil can sometimes create a beautifully colorful unbalanced state of entropy..

[emms]

This was fantastic & facinating. Getting the book asap 👏🏼🤗💚Thank you for this wonderfully interesting episode Deepak and Sean💚💚💚

[garygreffe]

Wonderful, thank you, will be getting Sean Carroll's books for sure.
Much love and many blessings to you both🙏🔥

[Sheeeeshack]

Amazing! been waiting for this for some time. Wish for many more!

[hugothales]

Thank you for this interesting serious of talks Deepak. Just step back a little and give your guests some more time to express their ideas. 🙏

Great interview.
When looking from the outside at two people talking, you can learn so much, especially if you already know the answers and the theories and knowledge behind the questions and answers.
Because then you can look at it from a meta-level. And not just from the NLP position 3 (1=me, 2=you, 3= observing 1 talk to 2’).

The meta-level I refer to is to ask for every nuance, word, meme, theory WHY the person behaved like he behaved.

A one hour talk would at least take 10 pages to cover all topics that were discussed.

Therefore I will only concentrate on the most important meta-concepts that makes it so hard and slow for humans to accept and understand reality and as a consequence allow humanity to create the theory of everything.

Sean is my role model in that respect and is definitely at the level of Sokrates, Plato and Diogenes.
I want to point to Diogenes because he chose a lifestyle in which he was no longer at risk to fall victim to feelings and wishes and could therefore concentrate on “finding wisdom and truth” completely unbiased.

Those feelings of humans that are incompatible with reality are the biggest impediment to the growth of knowledge. The evolutionary design of our brain (structure and hierarchy) to make the limbic system the boss of the brain, is the central problem.

The second problem is the complexity of the knowledge a human has to have accumulated before he can even start to dig into this huge pile of associations that make up the layers of “understanding the world”, spanning from the basics, ie. quantum-physics all the way up to human interactions and believes.

I am not sure which of the 4 resulting types of person is the biggest impediment:

1) “Has a truth-opposing believe system” + “does not understand complex problems”
2) “Has a truth-opposing believe system” + “understands complex problems”
3) “Has a truth-accepting believe system” + “does not understand complex problems”
4) “Has a truth-accepting believe system” + “understands complex problems”

I just know that 4) is rare to find but the only way forward for human wisdom and truth.

I also know that 2) is a deadly combination.
About 10% of people fall into type 2). Engineers are a typical member of this type. Their neo cortex will come up with the most imaginable BS just to prove their beliefs being right. And because they are skilled, it is extremely hard to prove them wrong. Not because it is unclear that they are wrong, but because they drag out one complicated pseudo argument after the other. It is exhausting to fight the “fast thinking part of their brain” bringing up, on the fly, a stream of pseudo-arguments. Almost like a hydra.

I use conversations with such people as a training field for my brain where I can review my arguments allowing me to make my arguments shorter and more precise. Besides the fact that it can help to get me head even better around the topic. But always being interested to discuss “against the topic” and never against the person that discusses with me. (Don’t shoot the messenger!)

Compliments if you are still reading.
Thank you for your persistence.
All the best for creating a more truth seeking and knowledgeable world

I like and share Seans view
- that all of the stuff that is naturally available to us is explainable or will be explainable as a result of some more engineering work and
- that the real groundbreaking tasks are all around stuff that we humans create artificially in order to solve the philosophical question “what holds our world together”.
Fascinating.

Great analogy using the sphere to show the correlation between a widening field of knowledge (the area within the expanding sphere) to a widening field of uncertainty (the enlarged circumference on the outside). But I cannot subscribe to the Many Worlds interpretation—it only tells me that we’ve got something really wrong about quantum mechanics. Great interview though from Depak and I love Sean Carroll!

[romanescusalomeea]

Please feel free present your research to KFTV, please feel free to share your research on KFTV

[moesypittounikos]

I wonder whether Deepak knew that Sean Carroll was shitting on him in the Joe Rogan interview and I wonder if Sean Carroll felt a bit guilty for being so arrogant? Or do they both forget their past interviews?

[Paul-icki]

How about fewer commercials? Jesus. Good content, milking it for all its worth.... really unpleasant to watch

[JohnSmith-fjuf]

To Christan Stordahl, you say there are things Chopra says that you agree with and things you do not agree with. Unless that is just a pretense of objectivity you can name them.
****Please name one thing Chopra says that you disagree with.

You also said " Further people should never blindly accept claims from anyone without cross referencing and considering opposing claims before coming to a conclusion.
*** What concern about the following claims made by Chopra was was the result of me blindly
accepting the ideas of Chopras detractors?
1.Astrology ( an idea that says our fates and personalities are stamped upon us at birth)
2. Levitation (His claim in at least one book he published that he could levitate)
3. His recent interview with the author of The Secret where he accepted of the claims of the author of The Secret that our desires are provided for by the universe if we merely desire properly...(a skill one might have to buy her book to acquire :--)
4. His claim that he chose to lengthen the telomeres on all the chromosomes in each cell in his body and they lengthened so despite the continuing wrinkling of his face and greying of his hair ...that his aging rate was much reduced by this act of will.

I do give Sean Carrol some credit for disagreeing with Chopra and having the patience to sit through Chopra's non sense

[habibie]

I hope Mr. Carroll took the full hour payment for this 49 minutes 😎

[toolateformenow]

I just discovered this video. I’m a little disappointed that Sean would grant an interview to this word salad woo doctor. C’mon Sean, you gave this quack credibility that doesn’t deserve and certainly hasn’t earned.

[thomascorbett]

Yes there's something deeply hidden . GOD .

[JohnSmith-fjuf]

Shame on Sean Carrol for speaking with Chopra and giving him any respect.
His spa offers Auruvedic astrology which like all Astrology posits the false claim that ones fate and temperament are stamped on us at the moment of birth by the position of stars and planets. Further Chopra in a recent discussion with the author of the Secret claimed he by force of will had lengthened the telomeres at the end of all the chromosomes in his body.
Unless he is claiming to have special superhuman powers that claim means he thinks we all can stop our telomeres shortening and live exceptionally long. It is irresponsible for a real physicist to grant legitimacy to one who makes false medical claims like the telomere claim.
Sean should not have given Chopra this appearance of legitimacy for this just to sell his book.

[soubhikmukherjee]

Sean is a shame on scientific enterprise.
