Wow - what a hidden gem this video is! Love lectures that hit deep. Sapolsky has kind of turned into my Spiritual guru lately, which I’m sure he’d feel pretty uncomfortable about. But hey, keep preaching! I’m all ears.
I think the best theory so far is that evolution is entropy, which looks essentially like Pascal's triangle, trying all possible combinations over time, with a fractal zooming in, to create more and more detail at every stage. This process describes everything. We start out with a single, simple, congealed matter~energy everything-nothing at time 0, and then it splits into two things: everything (expansion/change/energy) and nothing (contraction/no-change/matter), and then those two split in half and get recombined to form four things: matter~matter, matter~energy, energy~matter, and energy~energy. And so on. Like a tree with infinite branches, which interweave and reconnect here and there.
That's a very logical way to write a tale for text books. I can imagine (nano-imagine) a galaxy crushing, creating new planets, starts, black holes, nebulas, asteroid, cosmic rays, "freed gases", and energy in the form of like 100 chemical elements. But I'm so limited to imagine why no new chemical elements are created outside a lab, much less having an idea of why no new kinds of celestial bodies.
What was it? Write impaled on the scrabble board? So 15 years later the kids at school can ask if I’m Romanian and tell me stories of Vlad the impalers kindness? Strange that ancestry can generate at least 3% European Jewish dna which would produce green undertones of the skin to look Romanian/Hungarian/polish/Ukrainian. There was no genetic evidence for people visualising Iranian colouring. My powers of psychism are suggesting that the next media lesson on politics for people who don’t vote, will be regarding Palestine and Israel?
Wow. So refreshing to hear David Wilson expand the theory of evolution to something more complex and meaningful than the selfish gene. Humanity has labored too long with theoretical blinders on. He is right to point out that the preoccupation with the selfish individual is a fundamental article of faith in neoliberal capitalism--an ideology that operates like a religion in modern society.
@@MrCBTman That is one of the basic tenets in the reductionist theory although I admit there is more to it. Apparently Dawkins regretted being that explicit in the title.
@@MrCBTman My problem is he passes that through a reductionist biological rationalization process. And that is from the guy who invented the "meme" which is a perfect example of social/cultural evolution. Smart guy--trapped in the 70s.

It’s quite strange that just as all hands are motioning toward the right and talking of the selfish gene, ‘it’ pulls onto the drive on the right to come and spit in the well with a mysterious victorious smile. If I didn’t make the siblings tea in the same order as science papers from 1956 I might find it even stranger; but, you get used to these synchronicities when they happen every day 🤷🏻♀️ I thought that textual and phonetic NLP was the cause, but I can’t think of a logical answer as to how that could affect the behaviours and synchronicities of other species in the animal kingdom; or how menial physical realities such as a cup falling off the sideboard could be thought of seconds before happening. It seems a strange notion I’m not personally able to contextualise effectively, but the image in the Donny Darko film seems similar (the thought leaving his body and the reality happening a fraction of a second later). Whilst major events could well be influenced by NLP and hypnosis; an inanimate object with no affective mind, mobility or probability of synchronicity like a teacup falling off of a sideboard? When my sister and I were younger, we’d get spooked when the radio or tv would switch itself on and off; then as I got older I learned about high functioning autism and electrical devices 😒, but I still can’t explain the psychic teacups and the deep lipped lids flying of of vases where there isn’t a draft. I haven’t read string theory as a book but I’m surmising some such technicality of physical space would be the logical theory.
Also, there are four levels of evolution, as I see it, based on the four primary parts of human brains: genetic evolution is physical (motor cortex), art is emotional evolution (limbic system), technology/science is intellectual evolution (neocortex), and culture/spirituality is philosophical evolution (prefrontal cortex). And yes, clearly, all levels of these are utilitarian! They help us understand life better, so we can solve problems better. So we need to be free to wander geographically, through personal stories, through innovation, and through global ideologies, to find our fittest , most compatible mates to collaborate with, and we need to be free to be our unique selves, so that random mutation can create a robust diversity for specialization, allowing every different combination of genes, art, science, and philosophy to be created so that we have all of the possible solutions to growing and evolving as a planet.
I agree, well said. Attaching the acts to the parts of the brain is helpful to organize the thoughts and actions. Underlying it all, is "will my action benefit society?" If every act had this basis, what a world we would live in. Thanks for sharing your comment.
@@maggiezee411 Every brain function automatically has the goal of benefiting life (far beyond just human society). But we usually don't have the freedom to access the information, other resources, or physical space to enact our ideals. That's why I said freedom is the crucial thing we need in the world.
@@christopherhamilton3621 Because it's absurdly ridiculous. I'm a physicist (Standford grad) and I find it laughable. Many of these shill sellouts are planted by design in efforts to divert you from the truth. I have worked with plenty that fit the mold. Respectfully, instead of listening to condescending men, or anyone, including myself, perhaps one could/should consider diligently seeking the truth. As a young geophysics student I'll never forget the moment I visited the one-and-only place on earth that brimstone can be found, which is a geographical location referred to in the Bible as Sodom and Gomorrah. Secular and Biblical scholars have identified the location outside of Jerusal€m. Oddly, no one is allowed to enter the area without authorized permission. I say [that] because of the historical, evidentiary significance related to Biblical claims. As you enter the vast area, the remains of ancient ziggurats can be observed and explored. The evidence of a massive destruction-by-fire is clearly apparent with simple, cursory examinations. Additionally, whenever you pluck a literal chunk of brimstone from the walls of the ancient city and set it ablaze, the internal assertion becomes even more obvious that a massive fire scorched the land. Based on my own experience, the Biblical account aligns with what you see and feel. Again, volcanic soil does not contain the elements found in said land. Many people do not realize that the provided descriptions can be observed. In fact, there is a fantastic video (4k on Ytbe) that provides excellent documentation of the observations mentioned. For the scientific minds out there: the physical evidence is undeniable. I only mention it because I have yet to hear anyone speak of it mainstream. There is no rebuttal other than outright refusal to accept the Biblical account, which matches the physical account of what can be observed in-person - and- as seen on video. When confronted with this conversation, most scientists will scurry along to another question or topic because it presses them with undeniable evidence of something they refuse to acknowledge. Strangely, they have no problem marking their maps in accordance with various findings, but they will not discuss it. Go see it for yourself for an eye-opening discovery.
But even then, an individual is comprised of trillions of live organisms that change as our bodies change. "Individual" is much more along the lines of uniqueness than anything else.
Thinking of the Supreme Court. What small group has more influence and could benefit us all more by incorporating this information? Unfortunately, in the current political climate, February 2022, a public school agreeing to the successful intervention mentioned here...?
Two individuals capable of cooperating with each other, policing their cooperation, and identifying and excluding those who are uncooperative will enjoy synergies beyond those going it alone. Isn't that individual selection?
great discussion! But, as a psychology student, I found it hard to disengage my attention from the oxymoron label on the upper right corner: "Psychology -- Self-help"... and knowing Sapolsky's epigrammatic humour, I'd guess that this wasn't randomly placed up there:p
Such a great video. Certainly in the u.s people are far too individualistic. We need to work together for the betterment of all of us. Individualism is fueled by fear.
4 points. 1. Contrary to Davids assertions The majority of scientists across disciplines either don’t accept group selection or are sceptical of it. 2..Very few geneticists accept group selection in the way David puts it forward and can very easily explain All his arguments without the need for group selection. 3. I’m always suspicious when the religious arguments come into play, it just seems to bring a strong agenda driven element into the argument. From a societal point of view 4. David‘s ideas are no doubt valuable. It doesn’t mean they’re scientifically valid.
To be a scientist you have to think to form a question. You have to experiment to find the answer. You have to accept the answer even if it defies your fundamental beliefs. Do you really think that describes most people? If so you have a more optimistic outlook of humanity than I.
@@mikekane2492 In the year since I wrote that, I feel like the word science has become a dirty word. Not to me, but to the general public. The battle between Trump's thoughts on Covid and Fauci is a prime example but I see it elsewhere. There was a time when educated people were respected and their opinions carried weight. You can see where this leads.
15:45 Now the groups become selfish, they are internally cooperative but they are competing against each other. You have not eliminated conflict you've just elevated conflict higher up the scale that's why if you really want to solve these problems you have to take it all the way up the scale and this leads very very strongly to a whole earth ethic and that's actually the conclusion to my book.
16:50 - How do we raise our awareness and understanding of Earth and her processes, without people arriving at a more intimate deep-time understanding for this Earth's Pageant of Evolution and how that's what formed who you are today? Taking it personal that you are a biological sensing creature, a product of countless generations*, and that our gods are creations of our own making.
Shouldn't there be variations in group composition just like there needs to be variation in individuals for more effectiveness? If we force all groups to be composed the same way you loose diversity. And should we even be forcefully controlling the groups? Wouldn't it be best if we let the groups to evolve naturally? Understanding how groups evolve/compete vs attempting the control composition groups to fit your possibly temporary understanding are two very different things. One's illuminating and the other is potentially destructive.
That is the exact point these two men promotes. Im thinking you are to deep into absolutes, the results of group dynamics decribed here is that the most agressive tend to become marginalized over time. It seems as, its good to have extremes, but they cannot dominate for long.
Those individual behavioural differences are also genetically determined in conjunction with environment. This is Darwinian.. Classical but yes there are group dynamics.. That's just group selection.. Within specific groups the selection for trait changes because you've changed environment.. Right? Still classical Darwinian just a little modified by social grouping modification.
The big question ❓ i have us what line of primates did we evolve from. Bonobo chimp great ape. All of the ancers make a difference in humans organization. I don't know
None of the above. We have a shared ancestor with all three. We are apes, but not in the common sense of the word “gorilla.” The exact line of decent is not clear. We are closest to Chimp/bonobos but there were many other species which we were closer too. Hominids, Erectus, Naledi, etc.
The only reason I fear a global government is what happens when someone who fills the office doesn't have the interest of globes ecosystem(all life) in their plans? The planet has no asylum from their power.
Every argument I hear for group selection, can be as easily (or even easier) presented as the selection of the individuals in a group context... The group is the ecossystem. Yes there is a two way influence in both, but the unit of genetic reproduction is always the organism, not the group.
I have trouble accepting group selection also unless the selection is related to collaborative relationships between the members of the group. How else would you account for the rise of multicellular organisms?

too bad that many scientists with fabulous knowledge in their field of psychology and emotions and evolution and all, also have little understanding of how all those evolutionary and psychological human behaviours and actions result in- and affect the evolution of a free human economic market - some background understanding of even basic study of Ludwig van Mises and Hayek and contemporary great thinker Hans Herman Hoppe, to name only three of many more, would provide so much more substance to a fine talk like this -
It's not titled correctly, it is not a 'Darwin Revolution'......its 'Darwinian Revolution'....there is a big key difference. Darwinism and all subsequent influence on the scientific method is not created by or limited to Darwin the man. This is a common mistake.

It's not titled correctly, it is not a 'Darwin Revolution'......its 'Darwinian Revolution'....there is a big key difference. Darwinism and all subsequent influence on the scientific method is not created by or limited to Darwin the man. This is a common mistake. For example, I uphold Darwinism to the death against fascism, but I would never defend Darwin the upper class scientist in the British empire against fascism.
The sound is too horrible for me to listen to for very long. I'm outta here
Salposky barely talked... pity! the other guy had a monologue, not a dialogue
So to bring Darwinism to its logical conclusion, "good science requires a whole-earth ethic." Eureka! This we call "Religion"
Roger Gamble did he say that or are you implying that? If so religion as one world religion?
