      ​@@ArtOfTheProblemThis is exactly what you are able to do: present material in such a way that you "disappear". The audience feels they have discovered & learned independently rather than having been taught. This is likely because you focus on presenting experimental research results in an accessible way.

      If your body wants sugar, it needs a brain. Otherwise, it wouldn't know what sugar is. Also, sugar is just carbs, one of the 4 things almost every living creature needs to consume to survive. So, i don't think this line means much of anything because it's a self defeating argument.

    What I find fascinating about language is that people can extract completely different meaning from the same sentence. It seems to be an imitation of learning, not a substitute, which is why many people apply another layer of analysis called "skepticism" to anything they read or hear.

      Yes, language has barriers and back then it had even more barriers. Actually, each language today has its own advantages and disadvantages over other languages. Theoretically, we could overcome this by projecting our thoughts in our internal representation directly into other minds, but I think this will be practically impossible as I have the impression that everyone has its individual brain-wiring for internal minds.

      Yes. Culture, the world-mind we are but cells in, is evolutionary nitrous. We are driven by evolutionary forces to change our models of the world and our behavior towards it and our brains allow that to happen at an astonishing rate. Culture is the being and we are the neurons, evolving our signaling responses to meet new challenges. And as communications speeds keep rising, that only happens faster and faster.
      This idea gets cool when you start investigating what would be the analogous forces in culture, to the dopaminergic effects in the brain, or what new effects happen now that we're offloading a lot of the signal processing work to our silicon tools.

    First time RUclips bothered to link one of your videos that I am aware of. I was not expecting something this well put together and nearly avoided the show as being possible clickbait. RUclips has some explaining to do on that as this was a very well put together and simple explanation of the current understanding of the evolution of thought. I am not using the term intelligence here because I am not convinced it applies. You can have incredible problem-solving abilities that mimic intelligence but require zero thought as some forms of mold show brilliantly. But the evolution of thought leading to humanity of today that is a worthy description.

      To add to why I think I enjoyed this so much, much like your information theory videos, I really enjoyed the history you covered and the chronology of ideas unfolding over time. I think that is a strong motif and one that captures at least my attention and likely others. You also do a great job of starting simply and building on that simplicity so as your story arch is revealed, your audience is right there with you. They see the inclemently built concepts and the complexities don't overwhelm. Very nice!

    In my daily data annotation work involving Large Language Models (LLMs), I'm drawn to the idea that human language might not occupy the pinnacle of some hypothetical intelligence hierarchy. LLMs, in my view, serve as a compelling counterpoint to this outdated notion. Additionally, I'd argue that human language, being relatively young, remains quite rudimentary compared to other forms/channels of intelligence.
    Your thought-provoking question, "Does Your Brain Need Your Body?" prompts another: "Does Your Body Need Your Brain?" Here, the answer seems definitively negative. However, I believe this presents a false dichotomy, as the brain is merely one component of the body. Furthermore, consider that neurons function similarly to the internet, facilitating a unique mode of communication across cells. In that sense, your question is analogous to asking "Does the Internet Need Users?" which seems somewhat paradoxical.
    I'd also like to add that tribal life with hierarchies isn't exclusive to primates; it's actually quite widespread across species. Moreover, it doesn't necessarily correlate with intelligence. For instance, lions exhibit complex hierarchies within their prides, but this doesn't inherently suggest they're more intelligent than a solitary tiger adept at survival.
    Your focus on neuron count comparisons between small and large creatures struck me as curious. Research suggests that smaller creatures, like insects, possess even more intricate neurons, accomplishing more with less. It's not a straightforward comparison.
    While my tone may come across as critical, and it certainly is, I'm also a loyal subscriber who appreciates your work. Consider this constructive criticism delivered with a fan's perspective.

    • @ASpaceOstrich
      @ASpaceOstrich 28 дней назад

      I mean, accomplishing more with less doesn't change the comparison. If you consider it like computing power, three neurons able to do 100 things each isn't going to beat 500 neurons able to do 1 thing each. The neurons aren't the same, but the comparison still works.
      EDIT: And with regards to social groups. Lions live in prides, which are not the equivalent of tribes. A tribe is not a small social group. In their natural state, humans generally live in roughly ten person bands. These bands will meet up regularly with other bands to form roughly 100 person mobs. And these mobs will meet up infrequently in groups that can get as large as 1600+ individuals. That's a tribe. A human doesn't hunt with their tribe. They don't even really live with their tribe. Its too many people in one place for that era. But you are still part of your tribe. You likely share a language and culture.
      I don't think this is unique to humans, but I think its important to realise that a tribe is not a small group of people. A human may very well never have met most of their tribe. A tribe is more akin to a nation than a hunting pack. Lions don't have tribes, but individual lion prides do have specific cultures and learned knowledge. Most lions don't hunt water buffalo for example, but there are specific prides that have a culture of hunting those buffalo, and they are the only ones who are any good at it, because of passed on generational knowledge.
      I don't know enough about non primate animals to say if there are any others that have tribes. The closest equivalent I can think of is when migratory birds all gather in one location for reproduction. But they don't really have social bonds with those larger groups. Its a matter of scale, but also of form. The ability to share a language, cultural experiences, and even have a sense of loyalty to up to 1600 people, most of which you have never met, is something most other animals don't have. We're not the only animals with bands or mobs, but I don't recall any non primates that have tribes. Though it wouldn't surprise me if some whales and birds do have them. Hive insects don't really count, as the hive itself is more like an individual that any given insect within it.

      @@KittyBoom360 I didn't say connections, I said "things they can do" They might only have a handful of connections each, but they can do far more complex things.
      And my point with tribes is that non primate animals *don't* live in tribes. They live in far smaller, far less socially complex groups. An individual tiger may or may not be less intelligent than a lion in a pride, but an individual tiger is absolutely less intelligent than a human being. A human who lives off grid might be just as intelligent as a human in society. But a human-like creature not intellectually capable of handling social structures would be far far less intelligent than a normal human.
      Our capacity for massive social groups is fairly unusual from what I can tell. And does make us more intelligent.

    Slight correction here: The brain IS divided into different regions that have different functions. While it is true that many functions of the brain are widely dispersed across regions that does not at all mean that regions can do each other's functions or that those regions are actually not as specialized as neurologists claim them to be. The specialized regions of the brain are absolutely real and if you mess with them you can control every aspect of perception, cognition and function in very controlled and surgical ways. For example, if you injure your Broca's area you ARE losing your power of speech regardless of the fact that other areas of the brain are involved in interpreting, perceiving and producing speech. Cut out the amygdala and you WILL lose the ability to feel emotional distress or fear, regardless of how lit up a brain scan might get during a normal fear response.
