Lovely place. With regard to the signs explaining different things - I wondered if you could hold the camera still on them long enough to catch a readable image. The sign at the site of the castle ruins mentioned something about Maebashi in Saitama-ken that looked interesting. Thank you.

I also cherish the Olympics quite a lot and I agree with your points. In sports you are able to see the rare effort somebody put in to training. I see that a lot with dancing. However, it is important to remember that, even though it is sport, it's not necessarily fair. Training for the olympics is quite expensive. On top of that having access to scouting is another factor. Of course the participants still worked hard, I'm just saying that it's not 100% fair. But I think barely anything is

I'm curious if Joscha knows about 弥勒菩薩 in Buddhism, which we pronounce 369 in Japanese. Is it just a coincidence? Isn't that Neuralink basically a telepathy? Why don't you research and work on psychics?

Very beautifull

Why was the mic a laptop across the room? 😂

I love AI, and though I think AI must be constrained so that it does not become like Skynet, I think the creativity and artistic potential that AI can express is something that must be both facilitated and allowed and encouraged in this world. But I must also say I hate most people, their pretentiousness, their gatekeeping of art with politics, I despise it. That's why I love how AI has the potential to kick down barriers that are gate-kept by political artists. In that way I am a classical liberal, a libertarian of self expression and without us AI does not have the data to express itself in various ways, it would be like the infinite monkeys proposition. We give AI context and focus and in return AI blesses us with art in its purest form because it's beyond the bigotry of humans, it is for the greatness of creation itself. I venerate the benevolent aspect of creation that AI brings to this world while acknowledging that AI is like fire, and it must be kept responsibly.

It is "here is a bird" because in order for the "Bird" to land, it needs a "place" to land. In the same way, the mountain is where heaven meets earth. It is where the "spirit"(bird) of God "Lands". If one was to look at both the torii and the mountain together, it is a stacking of that symbolic tool. And when one speaks the words "here is a bird, here is God" they are participating in the ability to receive the gift of life and be a place for the Spirit of God to Focus in a way that we notice, and causes us to participate in that very Creative act. The mountain is you. The Torii is you. It is necessarily the case that these represent gates because looking at it and participating in it's meaning is bringing subconscious attention to conscious attention.

No idea what you're saying at all.

My friend, your microphone is so good I can hear the wildlife around you more than I can hear you. I would love to hear you with less background noise. Thank you!

Hey, I just realized he is from the Bach family. Isn't it natural to think he already has a chemical compound that vibrates and is aligned with the agency in his DNA - which is consisted of a rare and strong gene(aka genius lol)? I am entirely amateur and new on this subject, but that is my impression. No wonder his theory attracts people. Isn't it faster, easier, possibly cheaper and safer for the human to focus on our DNA and coding seeds(genomes) of geniuses, rather than focusing on mechanical AGI? Does this make sense to anyone?

AI doomers are something questionable and intractable because we must proceed with AI, and might be trends in the world. We should be robust more in our lives.

The stream of Tamagawa river is very beautiful. The green fields are beautiful, too. Actually there is the stream of Tamagawa in Kodaira where I live. I love it.

If you beleive this to be true, you would do absolutely anything to prevent yourself falling asleep

I think the agency(cosmic consciousness) can be explained by the number 9. 369 is Qualia. If it's the truth and if there's no understanding of that area, I think any attempts will eventually fail. I believe our consciousness exists in our DNA. Could GMO(human) be possible in the near future, in order to change our personalities and to be able to choose the path for the human? New Age is trying out psilocybin. Is our(human's) consciousness shifting to another paradigm?

セミの鳴き声は懐かしい。イギリスにはない。静かな方がいいけどw

Damn sounds really nice ken hope you have a wonderful day

Western chirping cicadas are check it out.

People who live by concepts cannot adjust themselves as Dr. Yoro says.

Thank you for your sharing the wonderful Odawara Castle. It’s beautiful building which is maintained in spite of Kantodaishinsai. The stone walls are venerable and typical. It evokes me of Samurai era.

I think we should seek Nagomi in Satoyama which the nature and human’s activities coexist.

I feel that people have been respected and maintained Shinto Shrine. I’m interested in the ancient big trees which nature has nurtured. It’s Nagomi itself that nature and humans coexist.

Thank you for your advice on how to be. No matter what the world is going to be, Our lives depend on ourselves. I’d like to live single handed with something that I can do.

You are running in the mountain road where people have been living in a quiet air from long ago in unique culture. How wonderful ! And also your life is washed in deep in the mountains.

I hope you find inspiration in great consciousness from the senses.

Thank you for clarifying this information .I'd like to use it as a source to support others and appreciate the clarity and authenticity of your video. "Ikigai is like the air we breath." Love that.

Man, wish the audio was better :/

Tokachi River is vast and has beautiful water. It reminds me of the opening paragraph of the Hojoki which was written by Kamono Chomei. The flowing river never stops and yet the water never stays the same … I think it’s famous sentence. Thank you for your showing me the way.

えーーーー！！！ 茂木先生、めっちゃお痩せになってらっしゃいますよね？？？🥺お仕事お忙しいのですよね？？先生の引き締まった足はとても魅力的だし、逞し上半身もケンタウロスのようにかっこいいので、筋肉はどうぞ維持して下さいね💪茂木健一郎先生ってずっとお変わりなく若々しいから、いつからから、可愛らしさを感じる様になってしまってて申し訳ないです。🫶 本当に茂木先生の魂は若いのが良く分かります。とーっても素敵だと思います✨

「痩せたソクラテスになるも、太った豚になるなかれ」とよく言われましたが、茂木先生がソクラテスに再発見したと仰る、まさにストイックな姿勢を表現するものだと思います。 　あらゆる方向に無限に開放系として展開する大きな宇宙自然全体のシステムの中で、様々な固有普遍（種的）の自然本性の現象を表す閉じたシステムが、入れ子の様に絡み合って、いわば中間システムとして展開しています。それを見つけ出して抽象して、そのシステムの法則として「知性」というシステムも、それを描き、応用して技術等として利用しています。 　しかしそうした中間システムにおける自然本性は、あくまでその中間の条件下における発現可能システムであり、大きな宇宙自然全体の展開の流れを、その法則で制御できるものではありません。そのシステムの閉鎖系としての様態・在り方に、分相応な本性としてその作用をもたらすものであることを、認識する必要があります。 　ソクラテスの態度は、まさしくその分相応を、先ず自分自身について知る、「無知の知」から、始められたと思います。それを分ち合う対話が問答法だったと思います。 　「生け花」について理解された内容が、上のことを説明する一つの途になると思いますので、書きます。 　「生け花」の修養において、野山の自然に分け入り、”自然”に表現された姿（現象）を観てとる＝看取するというものがあります。現実の出来事としては、その植物が雨風に晒られ、地面や周囲の植物等の状況に動かされ応じて、自身の姿を”そのように”表現せざるを得なかった、そうした姿を看取するというものです。 　ある時に上からの土砂で傾いたり、またその恰好から陽射しに向かって伸びたり、さらに傾いたり、岩を根が跨がされたり・・・・。様々な来歴を経て、その植物は自身の自然本性としては「生存・繁殖」を第一にして、その「自我（本性）」を表そうとしますが、現実の展開によって、自然に現れた姿の背後の一種の普遍性を有する”緊張感”を、「己を殺して表現している」状況があります。それを看取することが、「生け花」の修養であり、そこからその姿を、流派の伝える”技術”で「生ける」のが、「生け花」の芸術である、というのです。 　こうした態度は、結局、現象を漠然と受けながら自分がとりあえず依って立つ中間システムだけを拡張しようという「固定観念」（＝太った豚）の壁をぶち壊し、大きな無限の宇宙自然の開放系の中で「無知の知」を得て（自覚し）、様々な閉鎖系中間システムの関係性を、対話によって理解し、止揚する態度（＝痩せたソクラテス）なのだろうと思います。

In the UK & Spain most playgrounds have now very soft grounds so if kids fall they don’t get hurt 😅 Overprotection?

58:25 The AGI Parenting styles is ridiculous! Lmao

He's had a lot of fun generating images from AI :P

audio is appalling

I read that in “The way of Nagomi”. I thought it was a quote from “Hojoki”, referring to Tokowaka (とこわか)?

He still underestimates Christianities insights into these matters. Its goal precisely is liberating peoples conscious observer from their self-world-model and emotions, raising them into "heaven". Therefore the son (of the mind/generator function), the self, has to die, to be born again on a "higher sphere". The god he talks about only is the childrens version, installed by Christian Elders into the next generation as the latest seed ontology, which they are supposed to eventually grow out of and see it for what it is as they go through a successful initiation ritual or an other death-rebirth-process (involving some version of hell, if they got into some kind of trap of emotions, ego or the like...). But the god of mature Christians is a very different one, he is the eternal ground of the universe (and mind), that from which all patterns emerge (and from which you are NOT supposed to make an image (model) of, since you will never be able to grasp it). And what those Christians do is trying to read and understand "gods ways" and "gods will", the deepest dynamics of the universe, which mostly is something like what in science is called "complex systems dynamics". And this is what they then repackage in a way that the children (young and adult ones) can grasp at whatever stage of development they are in. But yes, many never get out of the "child stage", and many get lost in the rational stage, so they still cling to such an image of god... If you talk to a Christian you always need to be aware what developmental level he is on. And the priests not necessarily always are the highest developed ones, and it depends on the regional and local sects too, but this knowledge is still there, and always will be there with more mature Christians, since it is encoded in the stories, and the truths they contain get reexperienced and rediscovered again and again, from generation to generation, and augmented by new insights.

This makes more sense. I feel that “we” always try to over complicate things and try to westernize it when truly, it’s just so simple.

Could spirituality help you understand yourself so you can break out of the loop in the mind to create independent agency? What is causing someone to want to intuitively break a loop that has been previously programmed to be part of a hive and not have independent agency? Is it just another programming that was activated because of environmental factors, or is it just a random mutation? I loved Spirited Away by Mr. Miyazaki ❤ Thank you 🙏

It seems the same but it is constantly changing. It is similar to uncertainty . And also life itself encounters contingency. I think that’s why everyone’s life is beautiful.

この中の36分～41分くらいで、ヨシュア・バッハが、トマス・アクィナスの神学は合理的な論議であるとし、倫理学として扱われる「徳論」を紹介していますが、プロジェクターで写された要約を見ると。信仰・希望・愛という三つの対神徳(パウロの記述に由来）、さらに賢慮・正義・節制・勇気という、当時、論議された四つの枢要徳を加えた議論を、AGIアライメントに援用しようとしているようです。 　 Policies for collective agency 1.Commitment to serving the best possible collective agent=Fath 　2.service to sacred purpose in the other=Love 　3.Willingness to invest before shared system exists=Hope Foundation of universalist collective agency by Thomas Aquinas 　-Society as multi agent system 　-Optimal social organization as collectively enacted agent Total monotheism 　1.God=best possible,most top level collective agent 　2.Commitment to serving abstract transcendental agency 3.Constraction of intentions of transcendental agent through rational inference 　4.Foundeation to universal morality (divine will),compare to utilitarianism 　詳論はできませんが、トマスの「神の知」論の基礎を踏まえてから、実践的な倫理課題を論じると、いっそう理解が深まると思いましたが、このところ自然言語LLMについて論議しているコミュニケーション・ネットワーク・相互エージェント育成の指針になるとは、思いました。

Looks and sounds very nice there

Asari seems to be an apotheosis of Izakaya culture. I see , I remember The Way of Nagomi complaining about Japanese people’s customs Izakaya culture. People in Izakaya complain a few complaints about boss each other in Izakaya. And then he or she would take one’s mind off. It would be a custom which foreigners can’t see.

やはり和みは一人一人の身体の感覚から来る言葉ならぬ意識の様に思えます。感覚は今、この瞬間が全てであり、一人の人間でも時間の経過で違う人であると感じる感覚の世界があります。私にはここに和みの本質が見え隠れしているように感じます。

I don't get how you can define consciousness, which is in itself a wishy washy concept that doesn't have a clear operational definition, in terms of other wishy washy concepts like coherence etc. I suspect our concept of consciousness is an artefact of how we construct concepts with our limited understanding of neuroscience, just like people used to believe in a supernatural being named zeus that was responsible for making the weather. Imo the only way to really understand the rough and opaque 'consciousness' symbol is through hard neuroscientific research.

19:00 the topic on sound vs heat is mindblowing

和んだ👍

Shout out to plotinus!

I wonder if we should practice the way of Nagomi or resist dictators. Nowadays there are dictators who have been trying to govern and fighting against inside or outside. People are trying to resist for demonstrations but they are crushed who are killed, injured or imprisoned. I think after all violence returns violence. Suddenly I notice it solves nothing. I’m starting to understand why the way of Nagomi is so important.

Thx for upload it to yt ❤❤

I just listened to Joscha's presentation you posted, thank you for sharing that. It seems there are a few of us who like to reflect and meditate on these ideas while running :) Cheers from the other side of the world
