- In this Tufts University video, Daniel C. Dennett, philosophy professor and co-director of the Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University, offers a unique perspective on the role of philosophy in the cognitive and behavioral sciences. Dennett is known for his research on the mind and consciousness, relating philosophy to the scientific study of the brain, evolution and artificial intelligence.
Wonderful lecture. Of all Professor Dennett's videos on RUclips, this is my favorite so far.
7:20 Lecture begins

Prof Dennett never disappoints... What a speaker and thinker!
Horay for Dennet's courage in calling BS on postmodernism. Clearly truth is the ideal that science moves toward, and postmodernism is a rabbit trail on that road.
Thank you Professor Daniel Dennett; " The Truth Can hurt ", information is power.
This lecture ages so well.
For those of you who want to skip the intro speeches, jump to 7:09. Enjoy.

@ritchloui
That all is very well understood, and too the point of ad nauseam. Germs are a new faculty that was not understood then and now we are learning an incredible amount about the part of biology and the consequences.
Please understand, I believe both are very important to know and understand.
I noticed you did not come back to the video
“These mysteries about how we evolved should not distract us from the indisputable fact that we did evolve.”
― Jerry A. Coyne, Why Evolution Is True
@artemis12061966 as per Chomsky: religion is just one method of indoctrination...another is politics, society, and the norm...who knows how many others there may be out there influencing every decision we make and what we do. we have only begun to break down this barrier and we have really only found very few indoctrinators, there may be many more yet unknown layers of indoctrinations, every time we deconstruct one another shows itself to be present
Great quote. It is a really odd thing that literalism alway trumps the idea that creation is far grander and complex than a bunch of farmers, sheep herds and fishermen 2000 years ago could have conceived.
@ritchloui
That I all agree with, but what does that have to do with the subject of my remark? I was responding to your idea that the mass murder of Native Americans was being ignored, please did I misunderstand? I am sorry if I made a mistake.
great video thanks
If you took two soda cans, shook them up, placed them on a table, cracked them open and watched them fizz, you would not conclude that the sodas were arguing. You and I are more than mere chemical reactions my friend.
Congratulations. That's one of the dumbest things I've read in quite some time.
dennett begins at 7:24
thats you saying
"i'm not that smart... too much long words and intelligent"
but you put it in a disguise mostly for yourself
and i understand that, and why you have the need to do so.
it's hard to admit to yourself, that you've wasted a good portion of your life worshiping something that doesn't exist.
you'll get there eventually sweety

@Imaginefree69 I'm sorry but I believe the correct spelling is 'humour'.

Postmodernism is, in terms of dribbling stupidity, the secular analog of creationism.
@slovakmath Or we can question everything ......
You are asking the "pre"(sic) bono question-why do fish fly ,boks spring and peacocks fan their tails.Easy, . So Dennett can express his memes. He doesn't believe in skyhooks but he can accept,indeed expound, bootstraps.Oh, he's read about edges in a maths book.Why don't he go over the edge and lift himself up by his laces?
@artemis12061966 existentialism is curious but its beside teh point.
what i am saying is you need to be a little more skeptical of your original claim that a "fully conscious person can CHOOSE among the memes and decide which ones are beneficial". that claim may sound cute to a person who is first beginning to learn about critical thinking...but a real critical thinker will never make a claim that they have the capacity to pretend they have a magical power to ignore all influences
How is this presentation arrogant?
@artemis12061966 and i can come up with literally at least 10 more layers to that onion of other influences with which we have yet to shed, right now without even having to sit and think about it very hard. from your response i assume you think there are no rational influences beyond that of society, religion, and norm...you seriously cant think of anymore influences than those 3?
@ritchloui That I can remotely agree with, indeed it would need further explaining. The religious motivated have many goals, but they become so ignorant of the implications involved, and this is clearly the product of inaccurate indoctrination in the ways of the world. It can be troublesome to hear grown people not able to figure out reasons to not hurt others. It certainly of the authoritarian complex in their religious dogma, 'god is good, what god wants is good'.
How did I lose? be specific
My bible says "dust of the ground" (Gen. 2:7).
Jesus climbed up on the temple and could see all the nations of the world. Not actually possible, as we can't view two sides of a sphere without a reflective surface.
Joshua 10 records the story of the sun stopping in the sky, which, if the earth were spherical and orbiting the sun, would cause all objects on the earth to shoot off of the planet due to inertia.
Neither is stated overtly, but they are implied through numerous passages.

Your buddy max needs your help
WOW. I wish I had said that.
@thechessstick
how about the talking snake and the lady turned into salt? did they found it also? how about heaven? I bet they do! :D
lamarck is one of the founders of evolution if you didnt know that o.O jeez brush up on your hystory
the title alone should at least intrigue you. It does me ;)
The audible pauses are too much for me. uh uh uh

I think it's cute how they declare that they want to argue against evolution, then proceed to argue against spontaneous generation instead. They declare themselves to be greater experts than the experts, then immediately demonstrate that they don't even grasp the basic definitions involved.
If you took two soda cans, shook them up, placed them on a table, cracked them open and watched them fizz, you would not conclude that the sodas were arguing. You and I are more than mere chemical reactions my friend.
@JungleJargon Yes they do, and its been proven. Can all you do is lie?
you've got to be kidding me. okay listen "LAMARCK" and the other founders didnt 100% believe in evolution. this is a waist of time to keep wondering. smart guy ill admit but he needs to use what he knows for something that can be proven. he needs to do something that might help instead of waist time. i know im being ignerant or what ever. im not the one going on about something not true.
The essence of all beings is Consciousness.
Consciousness is Brahman.
Everything is Brahman.
It seems an article of faith that consciousness is the essence of all beings. Perhaps it is equally plausible that it is not. If we include the consciousness of viruses and other possible parasitic elements we might be at truth, but what is the point of it?
@ab2035 Not true.
hi steven
some of the comments on this video truly are disabled
Parasitic unreasonable beliefs which hinder the progress of the human mind.
There was a time when religion preserved truths, but today it is a cult yoke of past cultural prejudices and ignorance.
If this is the garden then we are the bees, religion is a nursery, let go of the floor and fly.
live by truth reason and awe at the wonder.
understand that harm to any part is harm to the whole.
this is just reason.
LHC may tell us more.
pray if you like, but get real.
calm down steven
@transtlantic If you want to see someone with a big problem, ask a creatard to define "kind". hehehehe
@transHugo
Now how do you explain the fact that you don't know if you believe in the same theory of evolution as parsivalhorse?
Why do you keep failing to name me my one mistake on wiki on the species problem.
You are confused.
try again Hugo
hahahahahahahaha
@transHugo
Why do you keep failing to show the quote of where they define species in that paper?
hahahahahahahahaha
Do you believe in the same theory of evolution as parsivalhorse?
Where's my one mistake at wiki on the species problem?
hahahahahahahaha
Max and his absurd positions
@transHugo
why do you keep failing to show the one mistake at wiki about the species problem?
hahahahahahahahahaha
@transHugo
Do you and parsivalhorse believe in the same theory of evolution?
Where's my one mistake on wiki about the species problem?
hahahahahahahahaha
@IcemanSupaFly
hahahahahahahahaha
transhugo is really dense
hahahahahahahaha
he also said " infinity is finite"
hahahahahahahahaha
have i crushed you so many times in the past that you now have to resort to mindless posts to try to regain your honor? you have been beaten EVERY time you have tried to debate me. If you want another go, then please post something that is relevant to the video.
@transHugo
If there is one theory of evolution then you should be able to say you agree with the theory parsival believes in.
hahahahahahahahahaha
Where's my one mistake on wiki about the species problem?
You keep failing to define a species so your claims for speciation are rejected.
try again.
hahahahahahahaha
Hi lawnmower
@transHugo
You don't know what a species is
You don't know what theory of evolution you believe in
"I am a passionate Darwinian, believing that natural selection is, if not the only driving force in evolution, certainly the only known force capable of producing the illusion of purpose which so strikes all who contemplate nature. Richard Dawkins"
trans-"darwinian evolution"...LOLOL What's next? "Planckinian atoms" LOLOLOL
hahahahahahahahahaha
LOL! Your assetions are innane.
And plz get your facts straight about Darwin. You are able to use Google,right?
@IcemanSupaFly
transfat is ashamed that he has manboobs, he is even ashamed to be a brazilian, he does not even know what a species is.
hahahahahahahahaha
i guess i was right, have fun troll
you can have the last word
@IcemanSupaFly
transhugo does not know what theory he believes and he does not know what a species is.
hahahahahahahahahaha
@transHugo
keep spamming papers that you haven't read.
hahahahahaha
@transHugo
You don't know what a species is.
where is my one mistake at wiki on the species problem?
hahahahahahahahaha
@transHugo
How can there be one theory of evolution when you reject the theory of evolution parsivalhorse believes in?
hahahahahahahahaha
you lost, deal with it
hmmmm... no thanks. are you a priest?
@transtlantic
How can there be one theory of evolution when you reject the theory of evolution that parsivalhorse believes in?
Where is my one mistake at wiki about the species problem?
hahahahahahahahaha
ATHEISTS ARE RELIGIOUS WETHER THEY ADMIT IT OR NOT. HERE'S PROOF; RELIGION IS A SYSTEM OF BELIEVES. WE BELIEVE GOD EXIST. ATHEIST BELIEVE GOD DOESN'T EXIST. YOU SEE...THEY BOTH BELIEVE. THAT MAKES AN ATHEIST A RELIGIOUS PERSON TOO.
Carmen Almonte obvious troll is obvious
+Carmen Almonte Pull your head out of your ass Carmen. Atheism is precisely NOT a religion.
UMmmm No.
Well said.
Atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby.
Much talk with Little Worthwhile Said.
Its not. "Arrogant" is just something theists with no more arguments tend to trot out when you have the gall to vehemently disagree with them.
great video thanks
hi steven
Creationism is real.... created within ignorant religiously inclined minds
7:13 Lecture begins
Henry Meade you are cool.
great video thanks
Tell us about the moon landing hoax
great video thanks
evolution is fact
@leatherneck2044 Facts are not up for debate. The book is available free online. You can look it up yourself, and you can do a word search. The first usage of "race" refers to races of cabbages. Later it talks about races of horses. More info: Google "Race (biology)"
Knowledge is available if you look for it. If you actively avoid it on purpose, and just parrot what you've been told, you won't find it. But again, this is not a matter of opinion. If I said something false, please point it out.
@leatherneck2044 I'm going to take a wild guess and say you didn't just notice this yourself and are instead just parroting this idea as so many do.. but in any case I may as well clear this up: The word "race" does not refer to the modern use of human "races", but varieties of organism. If you looked at the actual book instead of just the title, it uses the word "race" in reference to things such as races of domestic animals, races of horses, and races of cabbage. (and favoured = selected for)
By OT you mean oral tradition? =) Just kidding. I guess some parts of the OT were based on oral tradition though, the jews had a very good way of remembering things and handing down knowledge and scripture. As for the NT - I don't think when the books were written is all that important. What is important is how accurate the accounts were and how much the NT is wishful thinking - interpretation of Jesus's life. Important for a Christian I guess. I would like to read more on this.. thx 4 the tip.
YVW, I notice my dates wrong BTW, I must have been in a daze.
Josiah was king of Judah in around 650 BC.
Previously Israel, a Canaanite neighbour, had been defeated by the Assyrians.
This made Judah capital of the Canaanite brotherhood.
It was at this time when a monotheistic theocracy was set up, to consolidate rule and as a means to unite the Canaanites against Assyria.
Josiah was killed by Egypt though and Judah was also overrun.
Ironically, the OT was originally written to unite ppl .
What is worse IMBUED, is that you insist that we suspend reason and honesty.
that these tools by which we may find truths are wrong.
That we should accept blindly ideas which we know do not have validity in relation to what actually exists, which is made of the same substance.
Yours is the sin of cultural pride, that you would put one understanding against the whole, you reject God into infinity.
We are bees in the garden, truth and reason are enough.
faith is believing things you know are trash
If the universe is made of God and if God is perfect and indivisible the why does God fight himself?
Evil is ignorance, it is a man who cuts off his own hand for a meal.
it is not realizing the whole.
religion is the divider in which one set of people are made worthy and the rest are condemned.
this is ignorance, the root of evil is religious division, what we generally call bigotry.
it is the worship of lesser parts, like $ and men nailed to sticks.
religion claims authority falsely.
Consider this IMBUED,
If the God concept has any meaning then it is infinity and perfection.
There can only be one substance of which everything is made.
thus the universe is also made of God.
If the universe is made of God then your religious nonsense makes no meaning, you divide God into warring magical creatures, you make God a passenger of space and time.
Your God is a pathetic little God made by your own ignorance.
You insist on dividing the indivisible. you are sin.
great video thanks
@MaxBullshit we are going into the future while looking in the rear view mirror xD
Wonderful guy. Long live the 4 Horsemen.
I couldn't agree more, but you know Dan does a hell of a lot more than try to gently persuade nitwits that god isn't real.
Skip to 7:07 to avoid the long introductions and move right to Dennett's lecture.
@transHugo
Who said the designer has to use a supernatural process?
The opposite word of natural is artificial.
So the designer could have used an artifical process.
Thanks for arguing for design in the lab and your belief that ID is possible.
Your supernatural belief of life creating itself in a natural enviroment is not artificial and goes against what is natural and that is life comes from life, so your belief is supernatural.
hahahahahahahahaha
@transHugo
You are still failing to show where they define species
hahahahahahaha
if there is one theory of evolution then why do you fail to say you agree with the same theory of evolution as parsivalhorse?
You still didn't quote from a paper showing where they define species.
You are citation bluffing.
tut tut.
Where is my one mistake at wiki on the species problem?
hahahahahahahahahaha
You are absolutely correct, GOD created something call a universe and the universe formed earth and then formed CELLs and the cells EVOLVED over many million/billion years into something else and that something else EVOLVED into what we now call Homo sapiens sapiens!
Thanks to Jesus who sold you the idea of religion and faith!
Really appreciated!!!
@transHugo
Why are you asking questions when you ignore questions?
Do you believe in the same theory of evolution as Parsivalhorse?
if there is only one theory of evolution then why can't you answer this question?
Where is my one mistake at wiki on the species problem?
@transHugo
You are not doing very well here, You say there is only one theory of evolution and yet you fail to say you believe in the same theory of evolution as parisvalhorse.
You keep failing to show me my one mistake on wiki about the species problem?
where is it.
hahahahahahahahaha
One's every perception, thought, decision and action is a product of the degree and quality to which one accepts and conveys the underlying law of nature.
Google it (i.e., the underlying law of nature).
New information about the underlying law of nature has been made available online very recently.
@IcemanOpenFly What is the exact moment when a child becomes an adult? If you can't tell me, you are admitting that children never grow up. Oh shit, in your case that's true. Okay you got me that time. I'll try another analogy...
@transHugo
So you can't define a species.
and you don't know if you believe in the same theory as parsivalhorse.
Why do you keep failing to show my one mistake at wiki on the species problem?
hahahahahahahahahaha
@transBrazilianSlumDog
Where is my one mistake at wiki on the species problem?
How can there be one theory of evolution when you reject the theory of evolution that parsivalhorse believes in?
hahahahahahahahaha
A fully conscious person can CHOOSE among the memes and decide which ones are beneficial , to me they are not a problem so much AND this is why i am against the indoctrination of children into religions ....
