We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity emerson 2021-12-26 | episode: patreon.com/posts/587-hindsight-20-60276326“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”- H.P. Lovecraft

Revelation & Physicalism - Luke Roelofs & Richard Brown emerson 2021-03-26 | In philosophy of mind, revelation is roughly the thesis that we have introspective access to the nature of our conscious states. When you attend to your pain, according to revelation, you can thereby come to know what is essentially involved in feeling that way. In other words, you have some important knowledge of what consciousness is by virtue of being conscious. Philosophers Luke Roelofs and Richard Brown discuss the implications of revelation for physicalism, constitutive panpsychism, and knowledge arguments, as well as other related subjects.You can see the full video from Consciousness Live! here: youtu.be/UC-V6QMSB6Y and make sure you subscribe to Richard Brown's channel while you're there.Revelation, Consciousness+ and the Phenomenal Powers View - Philip Goff (link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11245-018-9594-9) [open access]Luke's book: amazon.com/Combining-Minds-Composite-Subjectivity-Philosophy/dp/0190859059

Nietzsches Metaphysics? - Galen Strawson emerson 2020-11-15 | §1 Eleven claims (These are referenced throughout the lecture.)[1] There’s no persisting and unitary self.[2] There’s no fundamental (real) distinction between objects on the one hand and their propertiedness on the other.[3] There’s no fundamental (real) distinction between the basic or basal properties of things and the power properties of things.[4] There’s no fundamental (real) distinction between objects or substances on the one hand and processes and events on the other.[5] Reality isn’t truly divisible into causes and effects.[6] Objects aren’t governed by laws of nature ontologically distinct from them.These claims are central to Nietzsche’s metaphysics. He also holds that[7] there’s no free will as ordinarily understood(although I won’t say much about this), and that[8] nothing can ever happen otherwise than it does — a position which is often called ‘determinism’, although the name is not apt in Nietzsche’s case. Finally (for now) he inclines towards the ancient—but also very modern—view that [9] there is a fundamental (non-trivial) sense in which reality is oneand towards what is arguably the most plausible—although difficult—view of the nature of reality, i.e. the hard-nosed stuff-monist view that[10] reality is suffused with—if it does not consist of—mentality in some form or sense.One reason for attributing [10] to him is his recurrent attraction to the idea that[11] everything is ‘will to power’for it seems that to endorse [11] is already to endorse [10] in some form, to say that everything is in some respect mental, to deny that everything is a matter of power or force conceived of in some wholly non-mental way.Here, I propose, we have the core of Nietzsche's metaphysics./ / /“My route to panpsychism was through Nietzsche ... He emphasizes this notion of the will to power [which is] ultimately a drive that underlies what we see as matter. [It’s] not consciousness, absolutely; but it is a form of sentience which underlies everything.”- Peter Sjöstedt-Hughs/ / / PDF of Strawson's lecture: https://www.academia.edu/3051045/Nietzsches_Metaphysics_2015University of Oxford video and audio: podcasts.ox.ac.uk/nietzsches-metaphysicsKeynote speeches and special session given at the international conference 'Nietzsche on Mind and Nature', held at St. Peter's College, Oxford, 11-13 September 2009, organized by the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford.

Cornel West on the George Floyd Murder and Riots emerson 2020-05-31 | Dr. Cornel West shares his thoughts on the murder of George Floyd.“We are witnessing America as a failed social experiment. ... Its capitalist economy could not generate and deliver in such a way that people could live lives of decency. The nation-state, its criminal justice system, its legal system could not generate protection of rights and liberties. And now our culture so market-driven, everybody for sale, everything for sale, you can't deliver the kind of really real nourishment for soul, for meaning, for purpose. ...The system cannot reform itself. We've tried black faces in high places. Too often our black politicians, professional class, middle class become too accommodated to the capitalist economy, too accommodated to a militarized nation-state, too accommodated to the market-driven culture of celebrities, status, power, fame, all that superficial stuff that means so much to so many fellow citizens.And what happens is we have a neofascist gangster in the White House who doesn't care for the most part. You've got a neoliberal wing of the Democratic party that is now in the driver's seat with the collapse of brother Bernie and they really don't know what to do because all they want to do is show more black faces ... But often times those black faces are losing legitimacy too because the Black Lives Matter movement emerged under a black president, a black attorney general, and a black Homeland Security [Secretary] and they couldn't deliver. So when you talk about the masses of black people, the precious poor and working-class black people, brown, red, yellow, whatever color, they're the ones left out and they feel so thoroughly powerless, helpless, hopeless, then you get rebellion.We've reached a point now a choice between nonviolent revolution -- and by revolution what I mean is the democratic sharing of power, resources, wealth and respect. If we don't get that kind of sharing, you're going to get more violent explosions. Now the sad thing is in the neofascist movement in the White House, you have some neofascist brothers and sisters out there who are already armed. They show up at U.S. capitol and they don't get arrested, they don't get put down. The president praises them."Full original Clip - CNN May 30, 2020: youtube.com/watch?v=x6UNLg2OUbk
