Transhumanism; consciousness, imagination and dealing with "reality"

1. Yes…brilliant, when i grow up Im gonna be just like Ted. My only current concern is the word imagination. He seems to use the word reality for the duality world, but calls the separation from "reality" and being one with peaceful vastness is a construct of the imagination. If you inquire within,and see…you will see the difference between the picturesque imagination and the feeling heart reality. This vastness is not imagination, nor is the peace and silence a construct, its actually there, beyond the noise of a typical chattering mind.

2. Im a bit more for the idea of transhumanism myself. I agree that beeing more conscious is a good way forward and not seeking some form av new enlightment in the singularity or something like that. If you think it's a far fetched idea that the singularity would bring us more knowledge about the brain then I think you have missed some of the whole concept of the singularity. But then again maybe that is just your criticism against the materialistic reductionistic approach, that is talking.

   I think that it's more a matter of if we manage too create some kind of self replicating super AI or not. If we do that, great things will surely come, and technological advancement will sureley bring good things. I doubt that the singularity will be this super big all changing thing though.

3. Hi Ted, interesting video. You have an interesting pseudo-hippie- life-philosophy going on there (and I say that in the nicest way possible). There is just a few things a don't really have any background on. Do you have any other video where you talk about the background of the "Arcon" or "Argon" concept you are talking about. Thanks in advance /Holst

4. Wow!! That's a mouthful. Do we have an instinct on what to do, know where to go & do we need a guide? Cause many can't afford a pot to piss in. R we being crystallized & why?

5. Feeling sucked into all the negativity yet?

6. All of the above.

7. I've been thinking about that lately. Maybe it is due to the calcification of the Pineal gland. There could be something I might not be seeing, but just a thought. It could also be the chemicals we ingest as well. Or it could be how we are taught by society to focus on the physical rather than the non-physical.

8. Interesting stuff. "Interconnectedness": We are One Body, One Body in Christ & we do not stand alone. There is something beyond our reality: Church Millitant, Church Suffering, Church Triumphant. There r no dead, different levels of existance. . .Was difficult to concentrate on what U were saying until 5:30 when your shoes stopped tumbling in the dryer.

9. There was a time when man didnt understand the Atom, and then……

10. That's a tough trek my friend. I hope you keep going.

11. what abut the world before the world. we are not the first civilization to be. the pyramids and other megaliths. i mean where the fuck did dinosaurs come from so much to boggle the mind.

12. nuclear meltdown hot sweating and freezing bones hurt fetal position and shitting water till your ass is raw and fluids coming out your eyes nose throwing up. bottomline is my physical and subconscious became one in my dreams i was fighting for my life in different scenarios while my body was struggling for survival with all its system functioning to try and regain homeostasis . awesome video keep on questioning reality and listen to your own voice and think for yourself.

13. i think hes talking about on your comments but amazing77 gave up already. btw great video almost died couple times past few days on 1st time heroin withdrawal. always said one thing id never do but when a hot girl comes over and is into it and you got yourself into a habit with percs and she does all the work and sticks you with it and make sexy time after its hard to say no. was pushing off the w/d i had no idea my body was going to put me through what can only be described as hell.

14. find a work around. use the internet to your advantage and google what plenty others know. adblock skips all adverts on you tube. just trying to be helpful

15. Link?

16. I actually believe that to a certain extent. At least so far as humans in the past had psychic abilities and other things we don't have now.

17. Go see the movie Prometheus, you might find some cause for hope.

18. I am extremely Misanthropic and the mere thought of a human being able to live so much as a DAY longer makes my hole filthy flesh cage you call a "body" cringe to the core. The most horrifying thought is that there is a possibility (as meek as it may be) that humans could colonize space. To think that such filth could spread like a plague through the cosmos makes me sick.

19. If that's what they want, so be it. I will do just that, but what I need is you to not force your religion down my throat all the time. I don't believe in souls or gods or any such stuff, so I WILL act upon that, and I don't need you to tell me what I can and can't do. I can make those decisions without magic, because I am a rational being. I rebel against your anthroocentrism with my reptilocentrism, and that's how it will be. Materialism or not, its my life, my choice, not yours. Good day sir

20. ted do you realy need the little cash from the adds at the beginning of your up loads? they piss me of big time is it worth it ted?

21. "Foster your imagination" thanks…nice to see your tranquil philosophical insights bloom.

22. 2 Corinthians 2:20 where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Have not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

23. Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, learn from me ;for I'm gentle an lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

24. Jesus is the answer to all your question.

25. Excellent, you have to find what works and DO the work.

26. If that is your spiritual cup of tea then run with it. As long as it works for you and doesn't serve to hurt someone else.
