Hosted by Christopher Lydon. From WBUR, and NPR. Stephen Jay Gould was the most popular modern guardian not just of Charles Darwin’s evolutionary science, but of the quasi-religious enthusiasm that closes the _Origin of Species_, where Darwin wrote “there is grandeur in this view of life.” Through 27 years Steve Gould has written an unbroken series of essays in the magazine Natural History, all...
His office was a library. Amazing
I knew Stephen Jay Gould, and I found it interesting at 10:18 where Sacks talks about Gould writing doggerel, and producing for his birthday a version of "Jabberwocky." Curiously enough I had written a variation of Jabberwocky using Burgess Shale creatures and sent it to Gould sometime in the 90's. (1993-4?) Could that poem have been written by me?? (If Steve took credit, God bless him. It's an honor.)
A good moment to remind us.
Many thanks for uploading!
He seems very grateful for life. I am drawn to him for his gratitude.
IMHO as a research mythologist is one of the brightest and most important scientists of the last century as well as being a wonderful person and great lecturer and writer. His untimely death leaves a gaping hole in our universe. Read him!
anonymous book published just before Origin of Species about how all species came from earlier species and that book was read by everyone and was highly criticized. “ Vestiges and the Natural History of Creation “ by Scottish Journalist Robert Chambers
Watched all of it 59:04
Great video. Thanks for uploading!
....his lecture/talk/rhetoric is like listening to poetic audio book that is 1 continuous sentence from start to end....so so entertaining...and insightful
Such eloquence, matter-of-fact & sensibility in one great scientist. Thanks for posting & sharing!
He was a liar and a diletant.
why
He was a brilliant evolutionary biologist who helped popularize important aspects of evolution, and generally how life works. He certainly was not any liar.
Lolol I love the line, “…and two philosophers…” Those were Daniel Denett and Stephen Toulmin.
Was SJG a commie?
He didn't like labels, but no. Probably best described as a progressive democrat with leftist tendencies. Always spoke positively about Clinton in public interviews.
Freeman Dyson is another great man. Rupert Sheldrake ... not sure about him.
A professor in the fullness of the term.
14:37, Fun fact about Castlereagh, Lord Byron wrote this about his burial place: “Posterity will ne’er survey / A nobler grave than this. / Here lie the bones of Castlereagh: / Stop, traveller, and piss.” from the THE IRISH TIMES: www.irishtimes.com/opinion/here-lie-the-bones-of-castlereagh-an-irishman-s-diary-on-a-political-colossus-1.3924784
we have only been around for a short time while nature existed for billions of years so if anything we should respect nature enough to derive our moral system from it
Amazing, Thankyou. Gould has become very much a hero of mine in the recent months.
Marxist slob.
I discovered Gould’s writings in 1992, and he blew my mind. I will always remember where I was when I heard of his passing.
Is there something wrong with him in this clip? His head is like against his chest, and I was wondering how exactly is he sitting.
Hey, Oliver Sacks contracted sciatica in his later years and (according to something I read in his partners' book "Insomniac City") used to lie down in order to be more comfortable. I think he's doing that here.
Smh wish this had video so could laugh at those fresh 1989 memes Gould is sharing
That's a horrible injustice. Editors should not meddle with semantic wording of the writer. Also, it is an awful coincidence that Oliver Sach's also died of cancer.
"Oliver Sach's" Oliver Sacks
See BOOMERS. This is what you cant do now. You can't go to college or if you do its a podunk college. Every kid could go to college debt free. Pay as you go. Boomers destroyed this. They allowed jobs to ship over-seas and worse the money to go over-seas. A man off the streets in the 50s is making 3x more with beneifts than now with inflation. Boomers ruined college and now its only the rich that can go. They failed america. He also mentions he is a workaholic and does not see that as a problem. its a huge problem. He had a divorce shortly after this interview. Being a workaholic is control and slavery. Its one thing if you are doing something you love and time flies by, but millions of americans are stuck in dead end jobs, forced to work 60hrs plus, they are forced to take a vacation because they are so corrupted in the minds to not do what they are told and what others are doing. Gould has this same arrogance, this pride that im always busy so i must be important. Take a mans job away, take his friends away, his income his status and you will find who he really is. You lose your being when you work that much a week. The way he twists and bends these facts is borderline psychopath.
0:30 what's the book on the garbage can?
I wondered the very same thing. Turns out it was just an old catalogue for Bow Windows Bookshop, a fine antiquarian book seller.
How very disappointing! :-) Are you sure?
great admirer here! And even more now finding out his bridge between science and art
Gould, Steven Jay: (1941-2002) Distinguished ethologist, evolutionary biologist, and man of letters. Gould believed that natural science ultimately was informed by multiple or 'plural' empirical traditions, and that accident and contingency has a much a hand in making us what we are than a monomaniacal reliance on the metaphors of natural selection. Sensible stuff of course unless you have a lucrative 'revolution' to run. Thus Gould was excoriated, excommunicated, and in their dreams burned alive by Darwinian fundamentalists such as Daniel Dennett, Steven Pinker, and Tooby-Cosmides who felt at least that they had true religion if not truly good writing skills. From Dr. Mezmer’s World of Bad Psychology, at an internet near you!
Well said. Ever read what Dennett called “Gouldings?” One jealous philosopher.
Remembering the great professor who made the world a richer place 😊👏🏻
What should have been provided at the start of this video is the identification of WHO S.J. Gould is/was. That it was ASSUMED that the audience automatically knows who he is/was is shocking.
No one owed the listener that. Just pause the video and look him up.

Thanx for upload! Love from Australia.
shame SETI haven't seen this - it should be compulsory viewing from them - demonstrating that evolution is not a progressive force and therefore technological civilizations elsewhere in the universe are extremely unlikely
Evolution is random, but natural selection is not. That was Darwin's great work of genius. It's not a progressive force, per ce, but it does by its nature "fit" things to their environment which tends to make them more complex (I'm generalising of course). So the idea that the evolution of intelligence is highly unlikely may or may not be true. But SETI are peeing in the wind nonetheless. The vast size and age of the universe means that the probability that a technological civilization has emerged close enough to us in time and space to communicate with is vanishingly rare.
What a wonderful speaker. We're seriously lacking erudite intellectuals of such substance these days.
Do the slides exist anywhere?
I suggest that you watch the linked video and then answer this question: Are there any scientific mechanisms other than intelligence which give rise to or increase digital information? 1. Genes (a central component of life) are digital information. 2. To the best of our knowledge, digital information always is a product of intelligence. Richard Dawkins Proves Intelligent Design in 5 Min ruclips.net/video/prFZTMIKOi4/видео.html 'Genes are information. They are coded information, and it even looks like a computer information. Biology has turned into Computer Science.' The basis of life is information, and information can ONLY come from an intelligent source. ALL codes come from programmers and information comes ONLY from intelligence.
No , nope , not really , more to life than the math of 4 letter alphabet . And hunting lunch is wisdom without intelegence , much is habit much is ritual , much is house rules.
Your argument is fallacious in many ways - it's an apologetics chestnut - but let's just take one premise. You say that information can "only come from an intelligent source" but that is simply not true. We get information from examining the light spectrum of stars, from sifting soil, from looking at cells, from Donald Trump, from thousands of other sources that are not sentient. The universe is full of "information" because that"s what the human mind turns it into.
@@paulcoleman3081 Good pointless babble. You fail to absorb that there are different kinds of information. Here is a definition of biological information - Francis Crick (1958) "By information I mean the specification of the amino acid sequence of the protein." "Information means here the precise determination of sequence, either of bases in the nucleic acid or of amino acid residues in the protein." No observation, experiment, mathematical model or a computer simulation has shown that Information is reducible to a material basis. Question: how can a natural processes order anything into a precise sequence since we know from experience and observation that natural processes create the opposite result, i.e. they destroy and make things fall into disrepair over time? In before wacky troll responses are added, by information we mean significant levels of information. We know from experience and simulations that natural processes are able to produce only small levels of information and then cease or loop, and no new information is produced.
@@les2997 I directly quoted one of your premises to show that it is fallacious. Your argument is from Intelligent Design 1.01: that 'strings of amino acids comprising DNA contain too much information to have arisen by natural causes, and therefore must have been designed'. This is a theory popularised by William Dembski in the 1990s. But Dembski has been widely criticised for the fallaciousness of his arguments and the lack of rigour in his methodology. He expresses his theory under the banner 'specified complexity' but it is a theory supported by virtually no evidence. Scientists have pointed out that Dembski uses the words 'complexity', 'improbability' and 'information' in very loose ways, and that his analyses of biological complexity are far from rigorous. Also, I would suggest that the DNA sequence itself - with it's pointless repetitions, dead ends and the residue of many previous species from the evolutionary tree still enshrined in its double helix - shows exactly the opposite of any kind of design at all, let alone intelligent design. What it elegantly demonstrates, I would posit, is random mutation acted upon by natural selection. Crick and other scientists are attempting to explain chains of amino acids to the layperson using an analogy, by the way, there is in no sense anything that would actually look like "digital information" at the protein level or any other.
@@paulcoleman3081 There's no evidence that a natural process is capable of evolution. Read this paragraph and pay attention to these words: 'this claim has not been realized' and 'novelty ceases to be created'. Evolutionary claims have not been realized empirically. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tierra_(computer_simulation) According to Thomas S. Ray and others, this may allow for more open-ended evolution, in which the dynamics of the feedback between evolutionary and ecological processes can itself change over time (see evolvability), although this claim has not been realized - like other digital evolution systems, it eventually reaches a point where novelty ceases to be created, and the system at large begins either looping or ceases to 'evolve'. The same is true for experiments. No experiment has shown that a natural process is able to continually generate information. This is why evolution is a FAKE science.
Quite the best talk I've seen of Gould, who unfortunately could come across poorly in interviews at times. As a retired teacher I certainly admire his ability to hold to such a well woven theme without hesitation (or indeed, seemingly, breath) devoid of any time filling "ums" and "ers". No hesitation to gather his thoughts at all. No wonder he was such a popular lecturer till the very end.
Oh sna you're right - no word whispers! F
an amazing man and a personal hero of mine

@@Anonymous_Prole If past is prologue, chances are you’re a bigot and bitter that he so effectively destroyed the arguments of scientific racists. If he’s a fraud he must be really good to get hired by Harvard, get elected into the National Academy of Sciences, become president of AAAS and the Society for the Study of Evolution, and regularly get his work published in ‘Nature’ and ‘Science.’ Or perhaps your side’s arguments are so weak that insecurity compels you to resort to ad hominem.
Gould begins part I at 5:30 and part II at 1:58:22

A Glorious Accident (not adventure) was the meeting with the other five people. One of the most interesting things I've ever watched. Steve Gould and Oliver remain science hero's to me.
Totally agreed, Tony. (I realize I'm responding to a 2 year old comment of yours, but: if it exists, could you provide me with a link to the complete series (of a glorious accident)? Cause all I can find is Sheldrake's contribution (and his strawmen on for instance evolution are more so irritating than interesting) Thanks in advance!
