Firstly, thankyou! I listened to this podcast with rapt attention and really felt I was learning something of extraordinary value from Prof Brooks. But then, about halfway through, the wheels came off. This happened at about the point that the importance of answering two questions came up, The first question was was “what am I here for (ie why am I alive?)” and the second is “what would I die for?”. My answer to the first question is that I am not here for anything! Life exists, including my own life, because of random processes taking place in the universe. My life, life in general, has no meaning. The second question, was what would I die for? The answer is; I wouldnt die for anything! My death would serve no purpose whatsoever in an infinite universe. The second answer follows on from the first. By the way, neither answer cause me any shred of angst; I am not sad about either answer. Nor do I feel those answers are in any sense bleak (in the way that some, particularly those of a religious persuasion, might). To my mind, that’s just the way things are. Nonetheless, the answers to those questions (both blank) leave me with nowhere to go from a psychological perspective. Peter was far too diplomatic to say anything, but I feel those questions perplexed him too (?). To be frank, what really jarred was the story of Prof Brooks’s son, a marine sniper, who would die for God and country. If that attitude nourishes his soul then good for him. This may be a cultural thing, but what I found disturbing was that somebody trained, basically to kill other people, would feel he was doing God’s work in support of his country (whatever one’s ‘country’ means). That just struck me as naive, and, forgive me, from an englishman’s perspective, SO MAGA. In the UK that attitude became very unfashionable after 1918 when millions of young Europeans killed millions of other young Europeans in the most brutal manner imaginable for God, King and Country, for no net result. In the words of Rudyard Kipling “If any question why we died, Tell them, because our fathers lied”. Anyhow, these are observations, decidedly not criticisms (let’s not get all limbic about this). I only make these comments because those two questions stopped me in my tracks. Despite that, thankyou Peter and Arthur for bringing some of these concepts to light. I learned a great deal from what preceded those two questions, and will continue to listen to the last half in the hope of adding yet more skills to my life’s treasury. And, who knows, deeper introspection on my answers to those two questions, if even possible given their nihilistic leanings, might bear fruit. Kind Regards, Martin

Your answers remind me of myself when I was in my twenties. I am now in my thirties and think differently. I can't say for certain that there's a concrete way to think about this unless you're focused on a specific goal. Making a distinction between the bigger picture and the present could lead to different outcomes. For example, in the case of willpower, technically all of our actions are a result of past experiences so there is no such thing as willpower. When you're making a decision you also call upon those past experiences although you may come up with something novel or ask for someone else's opinion so maybe there is willpower. It seems to me that meaning is much the same. If you consider the grand scheme and scale of the universe it may look like you're nothing but if you consider your actions in this moment or the actions of others, those surely have meaning. If I were to rob you or punch you in the face you'd want to seek some form of justice for those actions. If you're asking why, then there must be an answer and that answer has to have some sort of meaning, otherwise there's no point to anything. Duality is inescapable since there are always different perspectives, so there can be no one answer to important questions in life. "To my mind, that's just the way things are." Well, that's probably why people feel differently about things. For instance, openness is my highest personality trait and I love hearing people's perspectives and empathizing with them. Of course different people would see things differently. When I think about when my answers to those questions were closer to your answers, it reminds me of my younger, nihilistic mentality. My parents would move a lot, and I felt like nothing had any meaning because we'd just pick up and reset all the time. If I tried to justify your answers for myself now, I couldn't imagine being a very productive person, personally, of course. The thing about fighting for one's country and God, Gold/King, Glory was something I used to think about as well. How socially engineered that mentality was, and of course they had to put God first to make it work, right? I grew up going to church. I stopped going to church in my twenties. Now I go to church even though I don't consider myself to be a Christian or religious for that matter. I go just to learn and hear the perspectives of others. I actually just got back from Sunday service and wouldn't you know... the pastor was talking about discipleship and service. You can definitely see the Christian influence in Arthur's thinking. My answer to the first question is that the meaning of life is whatever the individual that's asked this question makes it out to be, so there isn't just one meaning, there are many. What gives my life meaning are the things I'm passionate about. My answer to the second question is that no one should be asked to die for anything but I would die for family or other human beings. Unlike your answer, I used to be willing to die for anything, since I had suicidal ideations - the exact opposite. I can relate to the fact that these questions stopped you in your tracks, or I wouldn't be here commenting right after that part. I could also expand on my answers to those two questions but that would take up way too much space. I could also go into my midlife crisis and psychotic breakdown but that's a whole different story. I spent a lot of time after that discovering myself and being very introspective. In conclusion, I expect my answers to these questions to change, otherwise I wouldn't be growing intellectually. Thanks for the self reflection, sir.

Make time for the people who are important to you, and nurture those relationships. - Take care of your physical health. Eating healthy, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep are all important for your physical and mental health. - Practice gratitude. Take some time each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for. This can help you to focus on the positive aspects of your life. - Give back to others. Helping others is a great way to boost your own happiness. Volunteer your time, donate to charity, or simply do something nice for someone else. - Learn to forgive yourself and others. Holding on to grudges can weigh you down and make it difficult to be happy. Learn to forgive yourself and others for past mistakes. - Live in the present moment. Don't dwell on the past or worry about the future. Focus on enjoying the present moment.

Or you can be an encouragement to others via various means of communication, writing letters, calling, or emailing. If your crafty, your skills maybe useful..

Yet, his statistic on age related happiness decline completely contradicts the work of Haidt in the “happiness hypothesis”. Haidt states a general increase in happiness, up until the age of about 65 (if I recall correctly)? Anyone know something about this? Why the sudden change of trajectory?

He said he crosses out half of his political opinions which negated their moral importance in his life because he needed more friends. So he became less moral in order to feel less lonely. This is just what the world needs! But why not keep your moral code and learn to accept people for their flaws as long as they don’t hurt you? This way you could be less lonely without becoming more amoral.

Correction, the jurists, mystics, and sages of the Islamic Golden Aga such as Avicenna and Ghazali actually introduced western philosophy to the west through a religious lens. They were actually translating it back to their language to learn the foundations. Not to mention that Khawarizmi discovered algebra and the concept of zero which are foundations of Calculus and Physics. Computing with roman numerals was not efficient. The cannon of medicine was used in Europe since the 17th century. The Quran itslef accurately describes the development of the fetus from micro scales. These things need to be looked into.

This is very nice, but to the respect of politics. Politics are not only the concern of professionals in it. We are all political subjects since we live in a political society and some of us in democracies. This mean politics concerns us all. You don't have to go public about your views, but it's important to keep informed about what happens in the world and to care. Because at the end, the politicians are the ones dictating a lot about our daily lives, but we are the ones choosing them to do so.

At 19:05, he says that by construction each group has to have 25%. Mathematically, that is not correct. By construction, half of the population has to have high intensity positive emotions and half the population has to have low intensity positive emotions. And the same for negative emotions. But that doesn't mean each combination has to have 25%. For example, hypothetically, it could be that all of the people that experience high intensity positive emotions (half of the population), also experience high intensity negative emotions, and thus half of the population experiences low intensity for both positive and negative emotions. That would mean that the 4 quadrants would have 50%, 50%, 0%, 0%. I'm surprised that Peter doesn't catch the math error :)

I would expect that the results would be heavily skewed towards the mad scientists and the judges. Although personally, I view most of psychology as a pseudoscience, the literature posits that mania doesn't exist outside of bipolar disorder. Unipolar mania isn't even recognized in the most recent DSM. This would suggest that the people who experience the most intense positive emotions also experience the most intense negative emotions, at least at the extremes. And based on anecdotal evidence, I would expect that to hold throughout the intensity spectrum of positive and negative emotions. Personally, I believe that people can experience mania without depression. So, take my previous conclusions with a grain of salt.

The actual PANAS test has a scale of positive affect PA and negative NA. Scores range from 10 - 50 for both sets and questions are based on a likert scale. On the one I did each scale was sectioned into: low, average and high (it wasn't all the same for PA and NA). For example scores 27 and higher on NA scale were high negative affect.

Great podcast! ❤ Sadly I have zero friends, so I don't have an excuse to have wine or candy 😢

As always Peter, an interesting and exciting conversation. Especially appreciate the honesty. A suggestion , invite someone who is committed to faith and science on your podcast. So much of your focus touches on spiritual, such as mortality. But an intelligent discussion on say abiogenesis would be enriching. Although I am not personally affiliated with the Discovery Institute people they have published the most on that particular subject. Thx

I think you are missing something significant about alcohol (ethanol). Humans have consumed fermented foods, including beverages, for much longer than we have recorded history, probably tens of thousands of years and perhaps longer. The variety of fermented foods is almost endless. Many, but certainly not all, involve alcohol as a fermentation product. Humans have evolved both genetically and socially to alcohol as a food ingredient and alcohol is an energy source. Whatever the overall cost/benefit, humans may not have survived over millennia without fermentation as one of the few ways, along with salting (where salt was abundant) and drying, to preserve precious carbohydrate, protein and fat sources in lean times. I also think it is significant that many if not most cultures use fermented beverages in important social interactions, not to mention as a way to make contaminated water drinkable. As my UK friends would say, needs must. Humans also evolved metabolically to deal with traditional food staples; consider, for example, where lactose intolerance predominates.

Gurdejieff, Ouspensky, and Maurice Nicoll have developed a system for understanding and mastering many of the concepts that Arthur has so skillfully laid out (and expanded upon) for us here.
