Lost interest when you started arguing.

Have you ever tried to get others do what they should do? Try with compulsive gamblers, for example, and let me know of the result... or the non results.

In regards to the Abiogenesis factor in the Drake Equation it is possible to determine that probability and it is indistinguishable from zero, whereas the probability of the origin of civilization that is one species out of 100 million or otherwise 100 years divided by 4.5 billion, in either case the factor is so small as to indicate that technological civilization is a once in a Universe event.

The Principle of Mediocrity isn't actually a law of science, by the way. The biggest problem is that it presumes that there is a necessity for life to exist in the Universe, such a necessity implying that the Universe has an authentic purpose for existing.

Perpetual cynical.

WOW! This is popular ...

Seriously?

When he talks about Rare Earth he's on solid ground. The last part - not so much.

Incredible discussion. Would be extremely surprised if Ajay is not aware of Bitcoin considering his views. If he is aware, would love to hear his take on it being an open source solution to the financial industry.

It's always a pleasure listening to Ajay Shah! I just can't have enough of him.

The irrepressible Ajay Shah... 🎉❤

Robert palatio of the world Bank working with his Ukrainian friend Alex came up with the idea of a biometric identity for welfare programs. Later N. Nelikani made it famous in his book..

This is excellent.

by the time they make changes, all users will be gone. I was moderated and had comments deleted, so I in turn DELETED the account and app.... easy fix, keep politicians off social media.

Sai Ram. Following Swami's dictum 'LOVE ALL SERVE ALL' through His grace these two complementary videos have been created: 'SAI AND THE ANIMAL KINGDOM' ruclips.net/video/juFQ5AQT00A/видео.html comprising Swami's quotations vis-a vis the animals, and '5 FREEDOMS FOR ANIMALS' ruclips.net/video/a8X3BkkHIZQ/видео.html suggesting responsible ways (as their guardians and custodians) on how we ought to implement Swami's teachings. ❤

The problem as I see it is; the ruling class great society and the world like an open system with unlimited resources, when in fact they both are closed systems that have limited resources. This can be seen in individuals who think dumping hundreds of tons of pollutants into our air, land, and waterways won't have terrible impacts on the viability of our environment and society as a whole. Likewise, the ruling class have designed and rigged our society to favor the ruling class in every way. From tax breaks, tax loopholes, corporate bailouts, and other forms of social welfare for the ruling class, to not raising wages with the rise in the costs of living, having a corrupt medical system that puts making huge profits over saving lives, and an ongoing effort to end social security, Medicare, and Medicaid, the ruling class is extracting more and more wealth from the masses and thus owning more and more of the assets and resources they already have too much of. Like any other closed system; be it a car or a life form, ignoring the needs of any part of the hole results in harm to the whole. Society is only maintainable if the masses have a sustainable quality of life; and as we see in places like China, the corruption that was once on the fringes is now so endemic it threatens the whole nation. Likewise; the growing inequalities in America are heading us down the very same path as China and other nations. Jan 6th should have been a wake up call not just to the public, but to the ruling class. If we are not careful the authoritarianism, fascism, etc, being fostered by the GOP, and is only possible due to the inequities within our nation, threatens to destroy our political system and our way of life.

I thought it was Chuang Tzu who was asking whether he was a butterfly.

Brilliant discussion. Why does this only have 26 views? :(:(:(

It's becoming clear that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding. By this I mean, can any particular theory be used to create a human adult level conscious machine. My bet is on the late Gerald Edelman's Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection. The lead group in robotics based on this theory is the Neurorobotics Lab at UC at Irvine. Dr. Edelman distinguished between primary consciousness, which came first in evolution, and that humans share with other conscious animals, and higher order consciousness, which came to only humans with the acquisition of language. A machine with primary consciousness will probably have to come first. The thing I find special about the TNGS is the Darwin series of automata created at the Neurosciences Institute by Dr. Edelman and his colleagues in the 1990's and 2000's. These machines perform in the real world, not in a restricted simulated world, and display convincing physical behavior indicative of higher psychological functions necessary for consciousness, such as perceptual categorization, memory, and learning. They are based on realistic models of the parts of the biological brain that the theory claims subserve these functions. The extended TNGS allows for the emergence of consciousness based only on further evolutionary development of the brain areas responsible for these functions, in a parsimonious way. No other research I've encountered is anywhere near as convincing. I post because on almost every video and article about the brain and consciousness that I encounter, the attitude seems to be that we still know next to nothing about how the brain and consciousness work; that there's lots of data but no unifying theory. I believe the extended TNGS is that theory. My motivation is to keep that theory in front of the public. And obviously, I consider it the route to a truly conscious machine, primary and higher-order. My advice to people who want to create a conscious machine is to seriously ground themselves in the extended TNGS and the Darwin automata first, and proceed from there, by applying to Jeff Krichmar's lab at UC Irvine, possibly. Dr. Edelman's roadmap to a conscious machine is at arxiv.org/abs/2105.10461

A handful of companies in India have generated ROCE above 35% for over decades

Great interview!!! Professor Aswath has been giving a lot of value to people since he started teaching. He is Indeed one of the bests valuation and corporate finance professor, if not the best.

Good chanel 👌 First guy writing comment

It’s a religion tied to the Marxist dialectic. The neo-Marxist and postmodern conception of the world is embedded in the word “equity” you see everywhere theses days.

Excellent job on having Andrew Yang on your podcast and thoughtful questions! #First

This is a top down artificial culture and has not occurred naturally it's almost always steered, even in the 60s and 70s. If you don't understand that you'll stay confused and baffled for the rest of your life.

A lot of woke goes back to Post-Structuralism and the idea that if you change language you can change the way ppl perceive the world and this will ultimately change the world. You can ineed change ppl's perception (for a while) but only if you achieve ideological 'hegemony' - that is you need to infiltrate institutions, schools and universities and reprogram them while dissent, criticism is viciously suppressed. Woke is a bizarre form of authoritarian hyperliberalism. It never addresses the real issues. It doesn't try to really improve the lives of poor black ppl. It's actually meant to obfuscate the issue making ppl think a lot is being done when nothing is really being done. Ppl are supposed to think incredible progress is being achieved while in reality nothing changes. How does removing the statue of Jefferson improve for instance public education?! Such pseudo-progressive 'measures' cost very little to nothing compared to setting up a program to substantially improve public education.

Why John , WHY? Why is race in America thought of in the way it is,? Youre right it doesn't make any sense. How did racial thought develop historically into something nonsensical?

Thank you

Too insightful for words! I'm going to start reading "Woke Racism" this weekend. Dr. McWhorter has been one of my favorite authors for nearly two decades now, and he's showing no signs of falling off that list.

I don't know about your country, but in mine, there are laws about requiring consent. If someone breaks those laws, they are generally punished. What else would you like? Also, in my country, if one doesn't agree to a contract, don't sign it. Contracts can be negotiated if one party doesn't agree with it. If nobody agrees with it, the other party would be more amenable to changing it. Is what you are asking is for everyone to not agree with any online contract in case feminists may disagree with it? If not, which ones should not be agreed to?

Xclent information and presentation.💯👍👍

Wonderfully presented , credits to the writer of this article ,Prakhar Misra👍

I should also add in the real mind it just chooses the goal of driving down the road to a destination and various processes keep it on this track done in a similar way. Something would have to jump out in the road to make it force that choice by putting a high priority association process within the mind. Thus it keeps the goal but now must decide. And to do that it builds a predictive perceived state and puts it in with our real one. Then chooses from what I can tell. I was hoping to get to it this year but from what I understand there are at least a half dozen different types of electrical signals it can tell the difference between. Think of the perceived state as an electrical signal with many layers that lasts about 20 seconds which triggers more data within it as the patterns pass. Yann should be a lot better at that than I but that is how it works from what I can tell. And thinking about it just made me think about a theory I had is correct if I can get the layers to match up. Thanks lol.

Humans naturally "introspect." If I asked you to smash your hand with a hammer you will think about this and decide it is not a good idea for the various reasons that we can recall and explain due to how the mind processes the data. It may even make your hand tingle or pain if you think about it enough due to how the electricity flows from the mind. This is because it is all in the perceived state. When I ask you to do it, or think about it, the data gets dumped in there and we associate off it again and again. The mind knows the difference between the two electrical signals which is why your hand might be tingling but you know it was not hit with a hammer at the same time. But because of the way the process works I may have made your hand ache and pain sitting on the other side of the world. So introspection is just prediction. And natural. This depends on the current speed or tempo of the perceived state since if you have less time you may jump out of the way of the car heading towards you before you examine how you once seen the same thing in a movie. Assuming you have those basic associations stored. Which we all do once we learn getting out of the way of large moving objects coming towards us is a good idea. If you want to know how it works for cars... it works the same. A car predicts a turn in the road where if it continues straight it will go off. We will assume it thinks that is bad. So it has a choice to make. We will say left or right for an easy example. It then puts the choices in and associates them. We will say turning right is a cliff and left is the road going around the mountain. It associates the crashing, etc... and then the turn to the gas station for a full tank of gas for itself and ice creams for the passengers. It chooses the best and does that once it has the data. And assuming the car doesn't want to leap a cliff... it gets there. And it uses the same process. But the problem is to do all that you need to basically build AGI, or all the parts for the task. That we do not do now. Consciousness in this case can be described as an objects various patterns of electrical ability to react to the world around it. Your laptop can be broke (Dead) because the button don't work. It can be off, in sleep, awake, etc. And so can humans. So in basic consciousness, or the states, would be the electrical ability to react to the world around it. Think of it as an electrical loop which you can shut off in machines with a switch but cannot with humans, etc. Yann is off about how important the prefrontal cortex is. While of course it is great to have the mind uses all processes at once. If you think of the prefrontal cortex as the only process you need it will be only about 20% or so of the complete picture. The main problem is the field in general studies AI but not AGI. You need AI to build AGI and you need AGI to build anything good with AI because you need the various pieces. AGI is the study of that electrical pattern. AI is machine learning, storage, etc. Both use hardware and software so we will ignore that. But studying AI without AGI is like building a boat with no oars. It might be a grand boat, and do what boats do in the water, but if you want it to move and kick like a fish you need the oars. And oars ain't much used to you in the water without a boat. And that in basic is your roadblock. How much funding have the fields given to it? Because I think I just watched a video yesterday about needing to pay AI researchers very well...? But in basic that is the problem as to why they do not have the answers they seek. They need to spend more time looking.

Loved this interview

Very useful & informative....Very well coordinated.. 👍👍

Excellent webinar ! Very informative & tries to cover all aspects. Very well selected panel of speakers. Prakhar very well coordinated & framing of questions.

Where can we find other videos of the seminar?
