The Idealistic Man
Южно-Африканская Республика
Добавлен 8 янв 2017
We narrate the life stories of the men and women (both dead and alive) who lived life on their own terms. Who, not lacking in adversity, responded to the scorching fire in their bellies with a smirk and a nod. Living with the passion and the zeal admired by us all. These are the individuals that realised that, under our thoughts and actions, the human condition is amenable.

These are videos from Mark Solms' 2016 on-line course "What Is a Mind": ruclips.net/p/PLqSYUJvxD-UAWU4FKCCT9qivDRJiUP_TE
Thank you for linking to these Alex!
Reading his book is like attending a Masterclass on Leadership and Executive excellence. The business principles he shares are incredible. Thank you bhuti Mteto.
Indeed! I’m glad you watched the episode Zodwa! Make sure you’re subscribed for more.
Thanks. Dr Solms is tragically underappreciated
Agreed. But you know, getting to do the work is the ultimate prize.
@@theidealisticman also agreed. I think what's happening is the people with an affinity for hard science don't agree with him for taking first person experience seriously, and people that start by taking first person experience seriously aren't appreciative of his work in the hard science of the brain. I think he's right in that focusing too much on either is going to miss something.
@@uninspired3583 That is an interesting diagnosis. I think people will have no choice but to take him seriously if and when he demonstrates the theory as he explains towards the end.
@theidealisticman which theory did you have in mind specifically? I watched this in pieces over the last few days trying to absorb it all
@@uninspired3583 his entire theory of consciousness. We currently do not have a generally accepted/credible theory of how consciousness arises in the brain. In his book, and in this video, he attempts to explain how. I recall that I asked him what he thinks of Donald Hoffman's lamentations that none of our current theories (IIT, Orchestrated collapse of micro tubules, global workspace etc.) can explain how one comes to smell coffee, taste chocolate etc. His response was that Hoffman must read his book. When I say towards the end, I mean the part where he says they are currently working towards building a conscious artificial agent to demo his work.
I completely love the sense of ownership of all your life's journey and experiences. The sense of humanness permeating through each stage of your life gives us relief and a level of normality, just to know that it's Ok to fail, not live up to perfection and yet decide to pursue excellence with lessons acquired and optimizing all opportunities guaranteeing great success. I love this book Regards Zodwa
Thank you for watching Zodwa. I hope you’re subscribed for more!

Read the book. Love it! Your mom is a Queen. Love the lessons and insights shared and encouraging more people to read it. Proud of you Nhuti. Regards Zodwa 18:22
What stood out for me was the discussion on self awareness and how being a good listener can help in becoming a great leader.
That part is really worth thinking about for all of us. Thank you for watching and I hope you stay subscribed for more.

Is there a part 2
Hi Relebohile. There was supposed to be. But I unfortunately never got around to doing it. I’ll actually try to get an interview with the man instead :). Stay tuned.
interesting as i am also working on a African languages artificial intelligence (open source)... i would like to see his work ?? how are we getting to have these products to impact the community ? How will i get to share my swahili(first)...bot? are african governments really interested in building such products ?
Great narration

@@brynoreilly2731 Thank you
First time tuning in and this was a very fascinating and interesting conversation. You got yourself a subscriber. It was very interesting to see how Prof quickly dismissed you when you brought up Dawkins and his assertion that the genetic code is a description of ancient environments but it'll probably take me months to digest this wonderful conversation 💯
I’m sure I’ve heard Dawkins say this somewhere. If not, it must have been in the book “The Greatest Show on Earth”. Thank you for watching and for your subscription!
@@theidealisticman he absolutely said something like that and he once said he was working on a book called "The Genetic Book Of the Dead" or something like that in which he explains in detail how the organism is a model of the environment in which it lives. I remember liking that idea. This was a wonderful conversation
Great! In any case, I don’t think this idea is ridiculous. It makes sense to me. It may be the case that the reconstructed model of the environment based on the genetic code may be very low resolution, but I think it would model the organism’s environment in a non-arbitrarily way nonetheless.
I just found Dawkins' Genetic Book of the Dead! The blurb at the back reads: In this groundbreaking new approach to the evolution of all life, Richard Dawkins shows how the body, behaviour, and genes of every living creature can be read as a book - an archive of the worlds of its ancestors. A perfectly camouflaged desert lizard has a desiccated landscape of sand and stones 'painted' on its back. Its skin can be read as a description of ancient deserts in which its ancestors survived - and, before that, of the worlds of its more remote ancestors: a genetic book of the dead. But such descriptions are more than skin-deep. The fine chisels of Darwinian natural selection carve their way through the very warp and woof of the body, into every biochemical nook and corner, into every cell of every living creature. A zoologist of the future, presented with a hitherto-unknown animal, will be able to reconstruct the worlds that shaped its ancestors, to read its unique 'book of the dead'.
A great interview, thank you very much for doing this, Kukhokuhle. Personally, I feel that Mr Nyati's insistence on intentionality, self-awareness and responsibility (amongst others) highlights important principles in these times of intelligent artifacts. Go well!
Thank you for watching Daniel. And for sharing your insights from the video!
Prof is clearly a very smart man who cares and thinks deeply about the propositions that he makes😂. Great conversation. I enjoyed the interview.
@11:56 Would have been interesting if Prof Ellis did address in more detail the question of existence of a God especially if he regards that for things to exist they need to be created. I agree with him though when he says science can’t provide evidence for or against the existence of God but I then wonder if that is sufficient reason for humans specifically to have a belief in the existence of a ‘God’.
That would have been a good place to branch off and dig deeper into his views. For what it’s worth, I get the sense that he wouldn’t have the kind of answer me and you would be looking for. Refer to the part where he says it’s faith, faith is believing without evidence. I appreciate believers who admit this. And where he says it’s something you experience. It’s not something that someone can tell you.
This is really cool!
Glad you liked it! Please stay subscribed for more

the problems is : And self edification ? and long talking for no outcome ! We are not the western society !! we should not even aim to be ! Each African government needs to spend the free money it gets in bribes from america and the others in building thier own CLOUDS ! .... it is not even that expensive ! .. they need to employ internally people like myself who will build the artificial intelligent Brains fro the task which we may require such as infrstructure building etc ! << it is not for every person in the land which require access... but each government even need to begin this way and build our own land connections between country to have our own internet system ! : we need to separate from the main internet as we have become reliant on thier external resources ! we are supposed to be actively archiving the internet for ourselfs. and creating internet Stations ! in regions so that locals can get access to the offline internet that we create to share education technology in these comunitys ! as a government they need to use the tech to manage and improve the services being offered an created ! as you know a ChatGPT model could design a whole city ! <<<< access to information is important yes but sharing that information is more important ! problem is we need to build the hardware systems and also employ workers and not talkers ! not cipier but innovator! <<< we need to become comunist and search for our genius in our land and capture them for education and funding ie we wneed places to helpp our excellent people work on tasks which will improve our society ! not for commercial gain ! as we are not the west and comerce is not the goal of a community ! water electricity , healthy, food !~!!@ not wealth ! that is the restriction ! Stop referring to your idol silicone valley and Americans ! you pretentious guys are the actual problem !!!!|| worst than arabs .... always talking ! ..... this is a .net mindset ! we need agile people ! people who will release product half made even risk ! actually do something like a python developer ! they constantly upload stuff and share ! hence technology moved forwards ! but under .net development apps could not even make it into the app store !! @ its the same in africa ! ! nobody is coming to the universtity to take the graduates ! or invest in them ..... they have to leave the land and help the west instead !!~!
Self edification ! @@theidealisticman

I downloaded the video and left it in my downloads. Since it's heritage day, I decided to watch it since I have time. Truly informative interview and brilliant line of questioning. Well done❤
Thank you. Much appreciated!

You referred to this as beautiful several times. I don't fully comprehend everything presented here. But trying to think deeply about all this, I understand why one would find this as beautiful. This is well presented and informative - appreciated :)
Thank you Ndivhuwo! That’s very kind of you. I’m glad you found it well presented. Maybe if you rewatch it you may get it better. Maybe also go look up the parts that are confusing you elsewhere.
As for betting on marriage 🤣🤣 Have really learned a lot from this interview, Thank you KK
Haha, it’s not me, it’s tweeps 🤣 I’m glad you learnt a thing from this Shaun!
This felt like 10 mins video the first time I watched it. I had to watch it again because the content is too rich and inspiring. Thanks for this, it shows a lot of preparation was done behind the scenes. Thanks for taking the listeners serious 🤣.
Haha, thank you man. The days leading up to these interviews are quite busy. I put a bit of time in the preparation. I'm delighted it shows!
Thank you to tell as about this great news
It’s my pleasure! Stay subscribed for more.
Wow!🙏🏾👏🏿, What a great interview. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The wealth of wisdom, experience and humility that Mr Nyathi posseses is amazing to say the least. The part about Self-awareness has indeed answered my question of many years on why he hasn't opted to build his own corporation over the years, it was truly enlightning to hear his view on this. I will be getting my copy of the book very soon. Thank you for sharing this interview with us Kuhle and depth of your questioning, we could tell that this is a meeting of great minds!, Keep going!👊🏾
I’m so happy you enjoyed it Thendo! The part about self awareness is the most enlightening part of the conversation for me as well. Self awareness is generally something I think about a lot. Get yourself a copy of the book. Thank you for your kind words.
Great interview! And awesome questions from the interviewer. Truly we are all set up to succeed, if we focus on short comings we rarely see the opportunities that exist. We become reactive and victim minded and wait for saving. 💡💡💡
I’m glad you enjoyed the interview Nkateko! And thank you for your kind words.
By far my most favourite interview! I love how well rounded this man is! I want the book! 😍
I’m glad you enjoyed it Lethu! Consider sharing it with your friends! It’s the best way of supporting this channel. :)
Very interesting point about self awareness, when I look at an accomplished executive such as Mr Mteto, I immediately ask the same question, of why they haven't started their own business. That's the level of self awareness one just has to now strive for🙏🙏
I found that point very interesting too. Frankly, it’s personally my biggest takeaway from the conversation.
Amazing analysis. Wonderful video
Thank you for watching.

This man Patrice Motsepe (who owns African Rainbow Minerals too) and his ANC associates along with his brother-in-law Cyril Ramaphosa are both the calculated destruction of ESKOM, and its 'saviour'. Let me explain in brief. African Rainbow Energy and Power (AREP), backed by South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe is a leading renewable energy platform, the largest shareholder in the SOLA Group and energy consortium. The past and present electricity crisis in our country has been masterminded by these two ruthless and brutal money mongers, along with their colluding associates.
Awesome! Extremely informative and inspirational. Kudos to Dr Pat Motsepe, and of course, you too my friend, nice work 🤝
