I just want to say wow. The way you articulate yourself is amazing the wordplay is subtle and on the level of genius. I’d really like to know how you got to this level of eloquence maybe you could point me to some books or videos that match your verbal wit it would be much appreciated. p.s. I love your videos keep up the great work ❤

Thank you so much for such a wonderful compliment. 🙏 Very much appreciated. As far as my education goes, I’m entirely self taught. I’ve just followed a passion is all. But as far as books go, I’m a big fan of Carlo Rovelli’s work. He’s a physicist working in quantum gravity, but his use of language is mesmerising. I can highly recommend ‘Helgoland’ and also ‘There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness’. Both easy reads. (Benedict Cumberbatch also does the audio book for his ‘Order or Time’ book too 👍) But a big influence on me was David Bohm’s ‘Wholeness and the Implicate Order’. You can still order it online, but it’s little hard to find in a shop going cheaper than $200. Not sure why. But here’s a link to a free .pdf www.gci.org.uk/Documents/DavidBohm-WholenessAndTheImplicateOrder.pdf The first and last third are amazing, but the middle third is very technical. That said I read it with minimal understanding of the math and was still able to keep up (just). Apart from that, just read the classics. They’re often free as .pdf’s online too. Plato can be an easy read (sometimes-though he’s quite subtle in some very dense ideas), but if you feel like a challenge you can always take on either Kant or Heidegger. But I highly recommend you read it aside a you tube class. It’s good to have some guidance with those two. But in that vein I personally enjoyed Maurice Merlo Ponty, who is a 20th century Phenomenology Philosopher. I think there is an audio book of his too that’s a simpler place to start. Okay… I’m sure that’s more than enough. 😅 Thanks again.

The words you say are great so i will continue to listen and intake the knowledge. Im not against ai but some of these images scare me a little lol. I feel like your channel would really take off if you were able to get an animator. Either way i will be watching

Thank you 🙏 That’s such a beautiful compliment. And I agree, traditional animation would be a dream come true. However, I actually work with animators every day in as a part of my day job, and I know how time intensive it is. To keep up with a you tube schedule I would essentially need a team working full time for free, and I would never ask that of my animator friends. Though they do chip and help me time to time with the more technical and less abstract pieces. But perhaps it’s something I can work towards. If we can build this channel to that scale, real animators would be the first investment. 👍 But till then, you may prefer the audio only version… kzitem.info/door/PLJKKoGjld9iyiHfe9N27SR4VOxN4tHSuT&si=LEZpPVH_z73CuXPZ I compose all the music too, so there’s an extra layer of creative effort for us all to enjoy. ☺️ Thanks again for the kind words and feedback. ❤️

For me, I don't feel the same "I" after having brain damage. I keep changing my name to try to cope with it. It feels like my brain can barely breathe, it's an odd sensation PS I had to not look at the video, the AI weirdness was getting to me.

Wow, that's super interesting. Ultimately, I would have to agree with you (contrary to what the episode might seem to suggest), as the narrative I am building towards is exactly that. That a self is constantly on the move, and thus, incapable of being defined by any ultimate category (or name). The Self is as much in flux as is the universe itself - but I'll dive into that thinking a little more over the next few episodes. But it's nonetheless very interesting to hear another personal story regarding this, and the fact that you even find it necessary to change names. So thank you for sharing!! ❤ Re the visuals I entirely understand. I think you might prefer the audio-podcast version that comes out a week before these visualisations. Here's the link if you're interested, though you can find it on any platform if you prefer another. kzitem.info/door/PLJKKoGjld9iyiHfe9N27SR4VOxN4tHSuT&si=oz_N4Sq6XN9AaGqh Cheers again!!!

Fair enough, I understand how controversial it is at the moment. So thanks for shining a light on it 🙏 I’ve been an artist for about 25 years now, and I currently work in the animation industry full time, plus also do sound design for many visual artists (often free for self funded arts projects), and you be interested to know that many of those I work with are actually diving into AI quite keenly as a tool. We’re aware it’s a disruption bomb, but for good or bad, that fuse has been lit. No putting the genie back in the bottle I’m afraid. For example here’s a non AI colab I did with an artist a few years ago: kzitem.info/news/bejne/w4tm0KVvoKJpaIIsi=lwSlqzZmkJK4Lh2e And here’s that same artist playing with AI experimentation: kzitem.infotADztj8wX6k?si=KtNMxui31iaEEAKC As you can see, as a skilled professional he can use AI in ways that you’re average Joe can’t. So it’s not as black and white of an issue as you may think. But re my personal work, I may just point out that I do compose all the music on this channel, which I don’t think many channels could say. And also, this project has been more than five years in writing. The visuals are just a canvas to share the ideas. So I don’t think the use of AI necessarily destroys the projects integrity, though again… I’m happy you brought it up, as it’s definitely worth discussing. Either way, you may prefer the audio only podcast instead. All human, no bots 🤖 kzitem.info/door/PLJKKoGjld9iyiHfe9N27SR4VOxN4tHSuT&si=8HLhtgO6vTUwzHv1 Keep fighting the good fight squire 👍

wouldn't want to repeat on something already said in videos or comments, been here for a few, and loved it 😀 on the matter of dualism and materialism.. it seems very evident to me how the body would force its action on the mind, that it would do it, I mean of course, which it wouldn't be obvious if one was solely to concentrate on how we, say, are very able to just run away and escape pain, how we defy the logic of oppression. There is always a place to be solely with ourselves.. especially when we think we are alone. I always tell myself "you are always safe when you take care of yourself".. yet being alone with yourself is very much about not perceiving much a distinction when thinking yourself as other and yet doing so... it's an understanding loop, where the exchange is meant to produce momentum and escape the trap of our imagination and coherent thoughts, we unerstand, we change, and again, therefore lacking intelligibility of the process, as if it was meant to exemplify the depth that time reaches in excaping the present, of time not only being the present. I really think consciousness is derived from symmetries we draw between our bodies and spacetime, but emergence would be only a break of one also.. we would perceive ourselves think only when we would be suggested to rethink those symmetries and bind again, the idea is consistent with the unconscious and spontaneity since symmetries aligning would get adrift with phenomena, risking, unchecked to break again because of our material substrate, we don't think as long we don't have a way to tell ourselves we are wrong somehow. on the matter of hemisphere separation, I'm no expert, but I do think math (forgive me)... don't want to embarass anyone, but the one thing I think that sort of factors the idea is a composition law. A parity (odd, even) relevant space or category, a technique if you want to keep it neat. It deals with concepts like cooperation and optimization, as in, we learn easy when everyone does well... as I have it, and it is completely irrelevant to me since I might be more interested in the results these thoughts offer, odd (functional composition) lets prevail concept like private and collective allocation, which have realizations in the same model, that with shame and no lack of thrill I call stonehange, and also self affirmation which has instances that conform to the patriarchal archetype as a more volatile idea of private and collective allocation, like a question of "whether it is like that social contruct or not", and finally stratification, which would be a recursive extension of self/self separation, household structure, village/collective space structure and self affirmation as a virtualization of the previous, stratification built on top of social construct definitions can be very easily a description of priorities. in some way right hemisphere really feels to me like that kind of memory that deals with civilization, which sure isn't fundamental, but would replicate a natural order that's capable of naturally building up to safety and peace, as if we could assume they were thougts that animals had very much as well as we do (hope to). Even (functional composition) does put accent on left in which we are "past" these rules of social construct, already in break of symmetry, as a survival mechanism that would have to exist since the self-referential cycle would get quicker, to reestablish symmetry, and it would deal with mapping and orientation, as in deviation from some stable linear space, like the border of a sphere, say, (as function of angles), with the past as orthogonal to our present experience (it come out of nothing and you can imagine doing so at any time) and finally the recollection and conciliation of our past intentions as orthogonal action. "odd" (right) does subject what we are to social construct, "even" (left) social construct to what we are. Easy when others do be with others, easy be with yourself when be like with others. It is simple principles and you could certainly add variables, but a lot can be detail of intersection of simple ideas that hopefully would connect well with each other covering enough of what's pertinent. sorry if it was to much of a babble, hope something was, at least, decent 😀

So glad you’ve been enjoying them! And thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. If I’m honest I struggled a bit to follow everything you said, but I think I got most of it. In particular, I liked your comment re consciousness being derived from symmetries we draw between our bodies and spacetime. Because, I think thats right in part; consciousness does seem to be a spatiotemporal activity centred on the physicality of the individual. And “Mind” has all the attributes we associate with it because of the inherent nature of these three structures - self, time and space. So I do think it’s reasonable to suggest that our first-person awareness is a result of this phenomenal cross-talk, though that said, there is still a lot left to be clarified with such a statement. For starters, what’s the underlying structure of hierarchy? Is space and time of the mind or the other way around? Or is this relationship entirely non-hierarchical? This is why we have to unfold each concept individually. Because I don’t think we shall be able to define consciousness if we can’t also define the self, physicality, space or time. Either way… Much left to be done 🙏🙏🙏 Cheers again
