49:00 No, and neither has my dog. Even my dog knows that a big dog and a tiny dog are dogs from a mile away and without smelling. This theory is dead wrong, so no, I don't struggle with seeing some dogs as dogs because the concept of dog is not held by a prototype image.

44:50 Defining Game: First, what is a definition? "A definition is a statement that identifies the nature of the units subsumed under a concept. It is often said that definitions state the meaning of words. This is true, but it is not exact. A word is merely a visual-auditory symbol used to represent a concept; a word has no meaning other than that of the concept it symbolizes, and the meaning of a concept consists of its units. It is not words, but concepts that man defines-by specifying their referents. The purpose of a definition is to distinguish a concept from all other concepts and thus to keep its units differentiated from all other existents. Since the definition of a concept is formulated in terms of other concepts, it enables man, not only to identify and retain a concept, but also to establish the relationships, the hierarchy, the integration of all his concepts and thus the integration of his knowledge. Definitions preserve, not the chronological order in which a given man may have learned concepts, but the logical order of their hierarchical interdependence. With certain significant exceptions, every concept can be defined and communicated in terms of other concepts. The exceptions are concepts referring to sensations, and metaphysical axioms... "The rules of correct definition are derived from the process of concept-formation. The units of a concept were differentiated-by means of a distinguishing characteristic(s)-from other existents possessing a commensurable characteristic, a Conceptual Common Denominator. A definition follows the same principle: it specifies the distinguishing characteristic(s) of the units, and indicates the category of existents from which they were differentiated. The distinguishing characteristic(s) of the units becomes the differentia of the concept’s definition; the existents possessing a Conceptual Common Denominator become the genus. Thus a definition complies with the two essential functions of consciousness: differentiation and integration. The differentia isolates the units of a concept from all other existents; the genus indicates their connection to a wider group of existents. For instance, in the definition of table (“An item of furniture, consisting of a flat, level surface and supports, intended to support other, smaller objects”), the specified shape is the differentia, which distinguishes tables from the other entities belonging to the same genus: furniture. In the definition of man (“A rational animal”), “rational” is the differentia, “animal” is the genus... "A definition must identify the nature of the units, i.e., the essential characteristics without which the units would not be the kind of existents they are." Ayn Rand, Definitions, Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, 40-43 Game: : a (man-made) physical or mental competition conducted according to rules with the participants in direct opposition to each other. Essential genus: a man-made physical or mental activity. Essential differentia: competition What makes a soccer game and a trivia game both games? They are activities which involve competition, i.e., a game. Game is really really easy to define if you hold that man perceives entities and has the ability to abstract by means of measurement omission

41:30 There is no actual concept which is based only on a definition (except for magically words like God). Even and Odd numbers are perceptual. A even number of things is one in which you can divide the objects into groups and no loner is remaining, an odd number is when grouping leaves an odd man out. We made those words to talk about this thing we see.

Calling entities "basic" is silly. Perception perceives entities, and those entities are where we get abstractions which can be used to find genus and differentia. Philosophically this lecture is lacking

So if cognitive psychology is about head then my girl gave me lot of cognitive psychology at night

Amazing lecture. Ty sm

Thank you!

I was reading papers by Eleanor Rosh recently and being a non-native speaker it was a bit difficult to follow. But your video has brought a lot of clarity. Thank you for that. 👍🙏👍 Unfortunately though, your drawing pen is not visible in the video.
