- The Michael Shermer Show # 328
How does the brain - a three-pound gelatinous mass - give rise to intelligence and conscious experience? Was Freud right that we are all plagued by forbidden sexual desires? What is the function of emotions such as disgust, gratitude, and shame? Renowned psychologist Paul Bloom answers these questions and many more in Psych, his riveting new book about the science of the mind.
Shermer and Bloom discuss: neuroscience • human nature • religion • souls • consciousness • Freud • sex and desire • Skinner • development • language • perception • memory • rationality • appetites • differences and disorders • the good life • happiness.
Paul Bloom is Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto, and the Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale University. His research explores the psychology of morality, identity, and pleasure. Bloom is the recipient of multiple awards and honors, including, most recently, the million-dollar Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize. He has written for scientific journals such as Nature and Science, and for the New York Times, the New Yorker, and the Atlantic Monthly. He is the author or editor of eight books, including Against Empathy, Just Babies, How Pleasure Works, Descartes’ Baby, The Sweet Spot, and Psych: The Story of the Human Mind.

It's amazing-and yet we take it for granted-how accessible information has become. I am from Ukraine and am currently in Ukraine, and I love science. After watching free lectures from Yale with professor Bloom several years ago, I constantly search for new videos, interviews with him, and look forward to his new books, etc., because his intelligence and compelling ideas combined with wit are astonishing, so I want to learn more and more. Had I not learned English (by the way, by listening to Paul Bloom and other scientists) and had I not had access to the Internet, I wouldn't have known most of this thought-provoking information. It's incredible how knowledge, curiosity, and the desire to learn unite people from around the world. Thank you for bringing him here; it was fascinating.
Yeah, if we could figure out how to stop killing each other. That would be really awesome!

Great discussion! I follow Paul's work for many years now and I have learned a lot from him. The argument thought that a deterministic view of decision making leads to anyone comitting a crime walking free is misguided: people would still go to prison because we need to detain a brain prone to crime (not to harm others). Also, the fact that a brain is determined to committ a crime under some conditions does not exclude the fact that the same brain is determined to improve and learn from this punished behavior and not do it again, under other conditions. The intuition we all have that "determinism" means no change and no growth is wrong. Change and growth is possible and happens everyday... under predetermined conditions of course! 😅
Very interesting Conversation thank you Paul Bloom and Michael Shermer.
Mind is a concept not an object. It is usually defined as some brain activity within a living human brain. Mind is to brain what Beat is to heart. So in explaining phenomena, we separate the objects and explain the actions. What is the mechanism? Is there an explanation? Otherwise, it resolves to opinion.
Even if determinism is true, putting people in jail can still make sense for pragmatic reasons (as opposed to because they actually deserve it in the sense that their action was ultimately up to them). Indeed, our intuition that people should be punished is at root (even if now forgotten over time) pragmatic.
IMO, the hard problem with the “soft” science of psychology is the nuance of every human, biologically and environmentally. Much similarity, but I believe even more contrast.
On the money problem I have to say this discussion is very much predicated on the US situation. In a country where health care is universal and vacation weeks are prescribed and protected by law (and so on) money may make you happier - but the cut-off point is waaay lower, because for most people they don't buy those things to any important extent. (An example: I live in Sweden and recently had a serious health issue and so far the hospital and medical bills has cost close to nothing. And being home from work will not be a huge economic problem either.)
Thank you both for a wonderful video
As far as free will is concerned I know I don't have any
For those who imagines you have freewill freely fall in love or out of love or freely become a theist if you are an Atheist or an Atheist if you are a Theist
Paradoxically since I realized that I have no free will my will power became stronger
I am a radical monist and my ego is a social construct

I realize that there are millions and millions of liberal non-literalist Christians, but I'm not sure that "most do not take things literally."
I love that these interviews are timed with books releases. I’ll probably pick it up.
I haven't watched yet. But my answer to the title is, No. If it could it would already have done so, and if and when it can, it will say so.
If you saw more than one person talks about the exact same thoughts suddenly and they suddenly cooperate or never accuse each other of theft then be sure that all of them are thieves agreed tactically to share the booty. especially if it’s something valuable such as time (mysterious since thousands of years) or in psychology: self concept, consciousness type one and type two, personal identity (human thoughts),…. etc
Paul Bloom and Michael Shermer are great thinkers.
Looks like the University of Toronto was and is the place to study psychology these days. Peterson and now Professor Bloom.
JP has been whacko since his addiction (well, maybe more whacko than before). Let's hope it's not contagious.
I usually enjoy this show/podcast but this episode doesn't seem to be going anywhere (that's interesting)... I'm an hour in and not sure whether to listen to the second hour.

The mind is different from one minute to the next. Very difficult to study something like that.
Just the imagination alone is probably immeasurable. Even if we solve "the hard problem" the ability to imagine would remain a mystery. You can literally imagine brand new ideas that have never existed before over and over again.
Maybe that will be "the harder problem"?
Great show!
At about 1 h in, re what to do with people who are mentally damaged eg have a tumour that makes them commit a crime, what to do when someone had a horrific upbringing and committed a crime, and what if someone had no such impediments but committed a crime...
If there is no free will (and how can there be, you either choose randomly, logically, or some blend of the two), then no one is to blame, so do we let them all off? NO!!! Prison serves 2 purposes in this situation:
1. It puts people out of circulation if they have committed a crime and are likely to re-offend.
2. It alters the perception of risk so that some criminals will be dissuaded from offending.
The 'blame' approach leads to the idea of punishing people in painful ways. Cruel and unusual punishments. It is a way of vengeance. It is driven by the 'good' folks following their emotions rather than their rationality. But we do NOT let victims pursue criminals to exact vigilante justice, we have a legal system, with police, courts, lawyers, and prisons.
Good stuff, really one of the best, yup.
I feel like there's three kinds of minds maybe a fourth. Bacteria mind one, animal mind two, subjective mind three. I feel like when they talk about how we don't know certain things about the mind aliens already know😅😂
I would ask the questions of... what does a rational global society look like? And what does a rational human being correspond to in this global society? As well as, does the human being feelings need a completion in evolution to be fully developed and rational? I would also think that if any action taken harms the planet, other life forces or your 'self' by way of any underdeveloped feelings, it would be irrational. Specifically because of the incompleteness in their rationality, intellect, wisdom or their morals continuing in development. Professors included, as these areas of the consciousness that embody itself so that by no means any of these damaging ideas do not reach the focus of the attention to bring the damages or rather suffering in the first occurrence. So there must be many influences that inhibit the functioning of the consciousness in any 'perfect world'. Besides for any of these feelings of underdevelopment in tension through their individual evolution regarding all human beings. At least until we all reach the same evolution of consciousness, we are irrational beings and very destructive, some more than others albeit.
The Q source (also called Q document(s), Q Gospel, or Q; from German: Quelle, meaning "source") is a hypothetical written collection of primarily Jesus' sayings (λόγια : logia). Q is part of the common material found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke but not in the Gospel of Mark. According to this hypothesis, this material was drawn from the early Church's oral gospel traditions.
By the way, I wrote what he said about phantom limbs and the existence of a plan in the brain that represents the exquisite details of entire human body many years ago, and he talked about language in other video, I wrote that too in more details on closer to truth many times since years ago too, take a look at chomsky, I recognised that since I was a little child (about 8 years old) that there’s built-in grammar ready to adapt any language and that language is just a symbolic representation of human thoughts,…etc
if that’s new then this one is a thief too.
but that’s not important, the important thing is the essence (must reach future generations clean) they will need all that to survive.
1:29:30 it’s a very complicated process of generating personal identity and that process has to do with the body and cortex in the brain.
Hm, so And what is wrong If we let Everybody out of Prison and see what happens? Or is the whole game over then?
man that guy looks just like Al Gore
I immediately had a mental image of a disintegrating glacial ice face.
I am somewhat disappointed by this discussion. I hoped I was going to learn something substantial, even some kind of revelation, beyond what is known through the recent mind-boggling progress of neurobiology and chemistry.
First, the concept of "how the mind works" remains very mysterious here. What does it mean? Is this a weasel concept that eludes any clear definition? And, second, the concept of psychology "explaining" how the mind works remains to me anyway very nebulous. What kind of psychology is meant here? Experimental psychology? Intuitive psychology? Clinical psychology? I naively thought this kind of psychology could at best describe, not "explain". The product of psychology is delivered through language and this language describes the findings of experiments and results of life events. But the "Working of the Brain", if this is what is meant with the "working of the mind", is presented through a mix of anatomy (spatial drawings), chemistry (diagrams of elements interactions), and neurological activity (spatial descriptions of scrambled interconnections in an immense universe of neurons, and nuclei shooting action potentials and dispersing neurotransmitters all over the place through circuits and pathways). So what does it mean that the description of psychology is going to "explain" the physical processes of the brain as analyzed by neurobiology? Those are two different perceptions and presentations of mental activity, but one does not "explain" the other, they just both describe with different tools different correlating aspects of, hopefully, the same phenomenon, and they, again hopefully, complement each other. Take for example a scientist like Robert Sapolsky, whose major interest is human behavior, which he likes to describe both in its psychological dimension, and as supported by the underpinnings of brain circuitry. I cannot imagine what kind of lab would engage its team and efforts towards focusing on one style of perception, the psychological one, as primary. Instead of viewing all forms of studying mental phenomena as intimately correlated.. To me it seems like a dead end, a play of words, or, in the worst of cases, a waste of time.
Then you may be interested in checking out the Abhidharma. Western mind science is in its infancy, a lot of insight we are learning...and I am a big reader of neuroscience and psychology but once I dove into ancient Buddhism, I found answers to questions I was looking for a while... but more, it invites you to understand the inner schema of mind from within, which require a lot of time, like a scientist in the lab. It's one thing to have a thirst for knowledge of the mind and increase knowledge via reading, but it's another to put in the time for paxis, only then can we can arrive to direct perception aka IN-SIGHT
Also, we live in an era of information overload, there are answers to almost anything, so we must ask ourselves, what are we looking for and aiming at, this is why I like the Buddha's focus on speaking only about suffering and how to end it, which frame what we are learning and in what direction we are going. Check out Alan B Wallace "Choosing Reality, : A Buddhist View of Physics and the Mind" and the "Attention Revolution" and "Hidden Dimensions: The Unification of Physics and Consciousness".
"There are a lot of truths not available to us unless we are willing to undergo significant transformation"- John Vervaeke
Most, if not all, findings and discoveries in AI have been made by psychologists. AI is the closest model of the human brain.
1:11:00 permanent memory is always there, temporary memory (working memory) actually it’s temporary working memory, psychological factors,…etc make people think that permanent memory is distorted but that is incorrect.
To claim that physics is easier than psychology simply because physics has proven itself to be more successful is a fallacy. I can guarantee you that quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity are far more difficult to understand than any present theoretical model in psychology.
Insects..
You're talking about the future.
Are you ignoring of the state of the "little things ?"
Your mind comes from your brain, it doesn’t come your foot, shoulder, or thumbs right? You remove a persons brain and what they were is no more. Therefore when the brain dies there is no more you. It’s so strange people argue about this or develop entire theories how the mind lives on or transfers into another dimension etc etc etc. This must be because of fear of non existence. It’s not that scary and I’ll show you how. Think about all the memories you have from before you were conceived.?? Is that a scary thought? No. You didn’t exist in the universe so of course you cant remember that time just like you won’t have any more memories once the brain dies. Sure I want to live to 500 too, but that won’t happen. I’m not scared of that. I guess I look at it like we’re here for a short time and it’s over, so make things happen now while you can.!!
Micheal Shermer, it's easy to take on believers of ancient stories that sound preposterous, but I don't see you speaking with any NDE researchers or dealing with the data on the veridical aspect of NDE'S. You should talk to resesrcher Dr. Bruce Greyson for an honest delve into the non physical. Until you atheists deal with this data, you'll get nowhere with solving the so called "hard problem" of consciousness.
1:3000 you need to read that comment (amin omar) it’s related to both hemispheres of the brain and the process of generating both consciousness type one and so-called personal identity.
Inner dialogue is related to the same process, but body (hormones, ….etc) affect the process.
Souls *_cannot possibly_* be "immortal" in the Christian world view, because that belief conflicts with god's omnipotence. Doesn't god have the power to destroy souls?
The theology of the Seventh-Day Adventists implicitly acknowledges this problem by teaching the "mortalist" belief that the body and the soul are integrated, they die together, and they would stay dead forever by default unless god works a miracle to resurrect them together for judgment. (This should remind you of the Epicurean view of death.) The body-and-soul combinations which don't make the cut for eternal life in heaven then die again, and stay dead forever.
1:18:40 that is so-called personal identity not the self, it’s not easy to recognise that because even though the self is always there.
@5:43 '...I did my first chapter which was Freud...' Ooooh, I thought, finally a scientist (since Eysenck) is going to have a bash, in conversation, at so called depth psychology. Nope. They never do. Come on Shermer, get a guest on who is willing to take on Jung at least (America and Gabbering Jordan Peterson's Psych-Guru).
Sex is fuzzy, gender is fuzzy, sexual orientation is fuzzy and humans will exploit fuzziness to get what they want. So a man who didn’t develop into into someone who fits a fuzzy sex (no evidence of a DSD), who didn’t develop fuzzy psychological traits outside his gender (masculine boy), but did develop a fuzzy sexual orientation because he’s a heterosexual with a target location error, ie an autogynephile, should be treated as a woman by people socially, including women, & in law, even though the only thing that’s fuzzy about him is his sexual orientation? Does professor Bloom understand people transition for different reasons and to treat them all as homogenous because each group uses the term trans is what is stopping us from understanding each reason & finding solutions that will help us all get along? I suspect the “early onset” trans people he knows may have either had a fuzzy sex (DSD) and or a fuzzy gender (feminine boys) and a homosexual orientation - none of which women would feel were a threat to their dignity, privacy or safety. The latter group are the minority in the trans identifying born male population, generally pass & are just living their lives. AGP’s are the majority, generally don’t pass and are the most politically active as they lobby for self ID. That professor Bloom doesn’t understand the social consequences for this radical shift away from empiricism is a disappointment to me as someone whose work I’ve enjoyed learning from.
I love my feminine, homosexual, cis male identity and I have done since I was a little theater queen in a small town in the Midwest who endured…you cannot mother****ing understand the horrors and trauma I endured there…am I broken and bitter and hate life about it, now at almost 40? You bet I do. Human society is wretched and the human condition is awful. I curse my parents for being the cretins they are, bringing a poor child into this sh**show of a world. Well, they will wither and die alone, I hate them and I hate the life they gave me. Therapy has does nothing, it’s total b.s positivity pushing ideology. The world is f**cked, humans are trash and I’m glad the world is burning. I hope our miserable species doesn’t survive.
1:25:10 that is something else related to the presence of an accurate map of the entire body in the brain, at the end brain is required so any brain damage or ….. could distorts the map (there’s work on the map)
I like how Bloom is a subtle thinker. It works well with Shermer who can get too literal, like with his Trump cult story.
1:19:20 it’s not easy to make it simpler but so-called personal identity is a kind of simulation of self concept, the characteristics (traits ) you talk about is other story, but transferring psychological traits via heart transplant is related to the same topic (very complex to go into details) but take it from human.
Hope Sam gets Paul again...
I hope Sam gets sane again. And sober.
Rationality: it’s a big topic, but it requires self recognition (not to recognise yourself in the mirror similar to some other types of irrational animals) but deep understanding of who you are and how your brain works, so you can filter pure thoughts out of emotions,….etc)
Rationality the one I talk about is a process that takes time, it doesn’t come through claiming or pretending that you are rational entity!
you have to know who you are , differentiate between consciousness type one and type two, what’s behind the inner dialogue inside your brain,…..etc.
it’s a process that never come through claim or theft or ….. etc
32:00 emotions are just part of self concept, they are not independent!
emotions, permanent memory and consciousness type two are just part of self concept (they don’t exist independently).
Are you a cognitive scientist, or just a bodhisattva?
I am a real human who has mind and cares about his kind, unlike those want to build glory by stealing and cheating! What glory!
They want to maintain their faked imaginary irrational realm through theft and cheating to build a bigger faked imaginary glory (inflation stage)!
I wish I could get this conspiracy theory out of my head and maybe you guys can help----I am sure I have heard Michael debunk the following but here goes. Did Neal Armstrong really walk on the moon? Well, the photographs prove it---unless you are a professional photographer and point out that shooting a Hasselblad on the moon in 250° plus or minus zero cannot happen. The film would have been ruined. Buzz Aldrin only took one photo of Neal----while Neal took dozens of Buzz. Think about that; NASA would have had that as a number one project for publicity to have dozens of photos of the first man on the moon----but only one photo of the first man on the moon in one of the most historic moments in recorded history? Dunno, but that just doesn't fly for me. The fact that the director of NASA quit his job three days before the moon landing has also made no sense to me. Does that sound rational that someone would work all those years to get the project ready and then 3 days into the flight, the Director calls it quits? Neal Armstrong going out and trying the lander----crashing it and nearly dying if his parachute hadn't worked----the day before they took off for the moon has troubled me as well. Wasn't he showing the world that the lander really was not at all capable of landing on the Earth, let alone the moon? Coming in for the landing on the moon, Neal can be heard talking to Houston as if he were on a long-distance phone call with only the hum of a motor faintly audible in the background; the 10,000 pound thrust engine that they were sitting on had 120 to 150 decibels of sound that should have been heard. He should have been shouting. There were also no craters on any of the moon landings and Rockadine, the rocket engine company that developed the rocket engines were reportedly worried about the lander falling into a crater from the tremendous thrust of the rocket engine. There were no pebbles on the lander pods as well. No indication of any flame on the ground under the lander. No one who is a man with the little boy still alive in him wants to disbelieve the moon landing, but there are so many questions in the reality of it actually having taken place----and I have given examples of professional photographers etc., who have debunked photos, etc.
This must reach future generations clean (intact) they will reach a point in science where they have no chance to survive without knowing that (they are your descendants)
there is a kind of so-called super-deterministic but related to the two cycles but to concise: there’s limited free will.

I don't understand why atheists are so concerned with what religious believers think and vice versa. If you don't feel a need to believe in God, well good for you. If you have a belief in God, well good for you. Your belief doesn't impact on mine and I am happy to let each one choose for themselves. It is really pointless to even think anything you say about this issue will change anyone else's mind. That is a journey each person must take on their own. It doesn't mean that either position makes you in need of therapy or mental health intervention. Just respect their right to their own views.
The world is a huge marketplace of ideas where nobody has the right to be in charge, so everybody is free to criticize the beliefs of others. A belief in religion can definitely impact people’s behavior towards others, it is not just an inner experience. Religious zealots do violence in the name of their faith are obviously impacted by their belief, they say so themselves, that’s the point. Also, many people do in fact become non-believers through exposure to rational critiques of religion which challenges their previous beliefs. I personally have met many such people, and there are many ex-religious people with channels on RUclips who describe their experience of de-conversion. It happens all the time.
