    A series of essential questions are asked at 19:14 regarding the idea that God is imprinted on us from the outside: " Could [God] come from your imagination? But how so? How can you imagine something you've never experienced?"
    But we do imagine things never experienced before. I've never fallen off a cliff, but I seem to experience that every week. When I was a kid, I had a lucid dream that I was Superman and was flying through the air. In another, I was on the moon, enjoying the buoyancy.
    Are such fake experiences imprinted on me by the creator? Not sure what to make of it

    • @fadiacotter8979
      @fadiacotter8979 7 месяцев назад

      I had the same doubt at that point. Imagination, surely, is the process of thinking about things you've not experienced. Remembering is thinking about things that you have. The question above makes more sense as "how can you remember something you've not experienced?" I can imagine anything that is gifted into 'the show between my ears', and maybe that is the point at which determinism ceases to have control of our thoughts. If the thought is original, how can it have been experienced? A stimulating lecture, thanks Darren.

    "Maybe you dreamed you had breakfast." Chuang Tzu was dealing with this 400 years before Christ when he asked "Did I dream I was a butterfly? Or am I a butterfly dreaming I am a man?" We have neglected the Far Eastern philosophical tradition for too long.

      Then you abandon Foundationalism (the philosophical position that you need a certain foundation of non-inferential knowledge to have any justified belief) and adopt a more malleable and modern theory of Truth (like Coherence theory or Rorty's Pragmatism)

      If you listen to Staloff he says that we shouldn't take anything at face value. Not that we should reject all statements. We need to prove them. Ultimately we all start with the premise "I am". Everything else flows out of that.
