Bonus: More than an Illusion, Part Two with Fred Cummins and Andrea Love and Philosophy 2024-10-13 | Minds are not hallucinations but you are more than your thoughts. Interconnection is here. Non-duality is real. Life is not all an illusion. Love is beyond dichotomy. Can it all be so? *This conversation between Fred Cummins and Andrea Hiott, the second on this channel, is a dialogue between two individuals discussing the intricacies of perception, vision, consciousness, and their intersections with art and spirituality. The conversation traverses themes such as Christian and Indian symbolism, cultural practices, and the philosophical concepts of seeing and being seen. It touches on Western and Eastern thought processes, the influence of memory, time, and identity on understanding reality, and the psychological concepts of neurosis and psychosis. The dialogue critiques modern educational practices, emphasizing the loss of human elements in STEM education and promoting more conversational methodologies like videos. The speakers explore the role of creativity and logic, divine madness, and cultural traditions, along with their personal plans for spiritual exploration in Kathmandu through educational programs with the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies. *Auto-generated summaryFred at Uni Dublin: https://people.ucd.ie/fred.cumminsFred's channel youtu.be/6lcj81xeO6g?si=xUZ8_8uX7p058yTdwebsite with goodies: loveandphilosophy.comsubstack: lovephilosophy.substack.com

The same felt true relative to passions and love.So I decided to open myself to all of it beyond traditional distinctions, towards learning and development. This podcast is where those voices gather together in one space as I try and notice the patterns that connect.It's part of my life work and research, but it's also something I hope to share with you and to invite you to share your perspective and position. Thank you for being here.The main goal is to have conversations across disciplines to understand how our approach to life and cognition might address some of the urgent divides we face today.By love and philosophy, I mean the people, passions, and ideas that move us, shape the trajectories of our lives, and co-create our wider social landscapes.Partly due to my trajectory in philosophy, technology, & the cognitive sciences, I’m hoping to better observe binary distinctions in our academic & personal lives: What positive roles have these structures played? How might rethinking these structures & their parameters open new paths & ecological potentials?Thank you for being here.

On Navigability: Understanding Our Paths Through Life with Andrea Hiott Love and Philosophy 2024-06-28 | The philosophy of Way-making and NavigabilityIn this video, we delve into the concepts of waymaking and navigability. Waymaking refers to the comprehensive, dynamic process of how we navigate life, encompassing our mind and body in unmeasured and ongoing trajectories. Navigability, on the other hand, is the external representation or modeling of these paths within specific landscapes—be it social, geographical, economic, or emotional. By understanding and representing navigability, we recognize the differences in how beings, including humans and other creatures, navigate various spaces based on unique circumstances and histories. This discussion highlights the importance of identifying these disparate paths to foster better understanding, agency, and community support, ultimately enhancing our collective experience.“Affordances” is a term that can mean good or bad or neutral as used by Gibson, and as i mean it here.00:00 Introduction to Waymaking and Navigability00:05 Defining Waymaking and Navigability00:35 Comparing Navigabilities01:26 Modeling Navigabilities01:42 Navigability in Different Contexts02:34 Waymaking as an Ongoing Process03:37 Navigability and Social Constraints06:55 Building Better Paths08:09 Conclusion and Invitation to Discuss#mind #consciousness #andreahiottJoin the Substack: lovephilosophy.substack.comGo deeper with Community Philosophy: communityphilosophy.substack.comJoin this channel to get access to perks, or just give a dollar in beautiful support:youtube.com/channel/UCqSipsue_pxSZN_a0g5bjfA/join

The same felt true relative to passions and love.So I decided to open myself to all of it beyond traditional distinctions, towards learning and development. This podcast is where those voices gather together in one space as I try and notice the patterns that connect.It's part of my life work and research, but it's also something I hope to share with you and to invite you to share your perspective and position.
