Fantastic lecture! "Judgment" is a a loose term, as it often involves TWO aspects: discernment and condemnation. Discernment is almost always a good thing...Condemning, in my opinion, is what the mystics urged us not to do. Fantastic lecture...I too, am a scientist (MD) who thinks spirituality has great value in elucidating the true nature of the universe...Both science and spirituality are significant tools. A hammer and a screw driver should not be at odds with one another...KUDOS Dr Schwartz! I look forward to reading your book...just discovered this work today! 🙏🔬

When he said Escher(which I had just heard for the first time), I googled the artist, looked for the picture, reminded me of incubus, watched the video for drive, wentonto to the album morning view, thought about summer and the I remembered ''Wait, I was watching that neuroscientist....and this is the exact reason why...'':)

@@carolagerik Hey, I did come back and watch the thing...but in the meantime, I've learned that he's not really saying much...mainly because his main premise "the wise advocate" is just..arbitrary,wishy-washy, vacant and abstract. You wanna learn about your brain to change your behavior? I suggest you learn about the reward pathway: v.t.a. - striatum - nuc.acc - receptors, transporters....it's all about hedonic adaptation. I swear, I invested the energy into taking notes, learning that shit and I actially remember that when I recognise sime autamatic behavior (governed by my basal ganglia, instead of...at least mostly my p.f.c.) and I don't do that mindless thimg that I was doing...unless it's smoking, then I completely ignore it, bit for other stuff, it's great:D Anyway, thx for reminding me of this...

Haha! He's being completely scientific, man. By “wise advocate” he meant Conscience which always keeps telling you about what's wrong and right before performing any new action. Look up Jordan Peterson... This guy makes a lot of Sense ig but yeah if you don't find him suitable for your stimuli, it's okay xD. Being too scientific ain't bad either

thank you so much, changing value=changing habit, as an engineer it seems that, habits make some new satability points, and values change the refference values then the output changes.

I have pet rats and it takes them only about two times to associate any sound with a tasty reward! And it doesn't take any special effort to train them. Rats a great, very intelligent and affectionate animals. I think science is important, but using rats for cruel experiments isn't right (and I'm not talking about this video specifically). Rats are excluded from animal rights protection law in the US and most other countries. Which is extremely cruel because rats are at least as intelligent as dogs and are evolutionary closer to us humans then either dogs or cats. Apes, rodents, lemurs and us humans all belong to the same clade called Euarchontoglires

I don't understand his need to pick a fight over free will. The science of how our brains work is understood well enough now to know that free will is only an illusion, however important an illusion it may be. That we can change our brains does not undermine the established fact of the illusion of free will. Brains change, that is well established. Thinking free will is required for this change is just a mistake. It is not. So why is he trying to argue something that is utterly impossible and only more and more impossible every year? We are the experience our brain is having. That is the most basic thing one can say. He only undermines his own clinical work to argue the failing side of the larger science.

We’ll if you can change the bad habits in your life into other habits which you would like to have and you can do it voluntarily, even if your brain decides for you most of the time and runs in autopilot, it would be an autopilot configured according to your free will. So in theory even if you are not in absolute control of your way of thinking or behaving, in this second stage your thoughts and actions are influenced by factors which you are conscient about, as you have chosen them. You could in any given moment take control of yourself and make decisions considering each and every factor in a fully rational way and thus executing pure free will right?

@@christianlacroix5430 I don't think you truly know the meaning of "Free-Will." It's no "illusion." Free-Will, means having the Freedom of choice. The fact that one can decide for himself, herself. That is one reason why we find it frustrating to be enslaved by oppressive rulers. To go with the gift of free will, God gave us the ability to think, weigh matters, make decisions, and know right from wrong. Thus, free will was to be based on intelligent choice. We were not made like mindless robots, having no will of their own. Nor were we created to act out of instinct as were the animals. Instead, our marvelous brain was designed to work in harmony with our freedom of choice. The fact that one have a choice, the ability to decide for himself/herself to believe in a Creator or not, is also PROOF of the ability and freedom of choice.
