How might circumcision disrupt this act of rhythmic entrainment? Some studies do indicate that women orgasm more easily and more often with intact men.

Shinzen Young is a charlatan and a fake. Unified Mindfulness is a moneymaking scheme that will hinder one’s progress toward awakening.

good one

Thank you both so much

What's the weight big man?

This is excellent. Thank you Adam.

Have you read the book The Unified Theory of Motivation and Living?

i masterbated to sunsets after a jog before i went thru learning of my homosexuals desires completely so it confirms ur work'

Good effort man 👍

1:22:41 wanted to add something to the the moment you start you are there statement. It is also because in starting one begins an exploration of self and world. And this will remain a constant. It is in how we interact with the world and others and how we perceive self world and others. Confusion is what changes. At first it's confusing. But as time passes our eyes adjust our ears recalibrate our bodies are born anew. By this I mean when we look out instead of confusion we meet up with a constant stream of information that arises and passes moment by moment. This information adds to previous information and informs behavior. This moment I will act. This moment I will react. That does not change in meditation or in activity. Never to cease in exploring in shedding new light in looking for a new angle. The only difference is time and effort. One could say it's akin to saying from the moment you start building the house the house is already beginning to arise. Since in reality there is no finishing the building of the house the rest is relative. For now young and shy on path. But later with time and effort and experience confident and inquisitive on the path. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ott7icumutmrfZc.htmlsi=XJUZbLRxgI6YjXG1

So, basically the only thing your brain scans showed is that heterosexual men are sexually stimulated more by erotic images of women than men, and homosexual men are more sexually stimulated by erotic images of men. From that miniscule amount of information, you have basically made up a ton of conclusions, with almost no observable information. This is not science. It explains nothing. It is easily understood by anyone with no training in psychology that straight men prefer women, and homosexual men prefer men. Simply showing that in brain scans is not evidence of how sexual orientation occurs. Your studies and presentation are a total waste of time.

Did you get the word power documents, its a great skill Ive seen from some of my favorite thinkers, where can we find them?

The discussion from 19:00 on is about to get more exciting with proceedings from IACS coming soon. Also, it was very interesting to hear about the clever hack to solving the nyquist sampling rate needs. Also curious to learn more about thalamic gating. Amy and I talked about some of that in our recent paper on wakefulness supported by the GPe.

I think you are the perfect person to do a video on the intersection of neuroscience and both consciousness as well as awakening/liberation/enlightenment. Gary Weber did a great start discussing how the default-mode and task-positive networks change as a result of awakening, but you seem like the perfect person to take the baton and run with it. Thank you for sharing your insights. 🙏

I love pragmatic dharma! There is only a small handful of meditation teachers whom I’ve heard mention Bayes’ Theorem. 🤓

What do you think of mechanisms that may be at play for schizophrenics for whom joyful states are almost always accompanied shortly by hebephrenic disorganization and/or outer voices? How does this population attain pleasure in a way that doesn't ultimately damage their cognition?

Great work!!

Thank you

Wow what I'd give for an opportunity like this! You're a very lucky fellow

I came here after reading about your research on sexual trance and entrainment. I was doing some research on orgasms and altered states of mind. I dont know that this is appropriate to share with you. I feel that it is relevant to your research, and I'm dying to share my experience as it was so life changing. After having around 20+ orgasms and taking a brief pause and sharing a really sweet moment with my boyfriend, I had one more. This one was different from any of the orgasms I have had before. It was similar to being on a psychedelic. I felt like everything was connected. I've heard people say this, and I now know what they mean. I had this incredible feeling of peace wash over me. My stress and worries were gone. I don't believe in God, but something told me that everything was going to be ok. It wasn't language. No words were used. Somehow, I received the message. I was so unbelievably happy, calm, and at peace. For several weeks following this experience, I felt calm and refreshed. It was as if my whole nervous system had been reset. I've never heard of this happening to anyone. Your research, I believe, explains my experience. I've also read that orgams can cause the brain to release DMT. Im curious to know if this is what happened with me. If there's any more research in this area, I'd love to learn more! I can't find much on this topic. It's unfortunate because it seems like we (humans) aren't experiencing sex as it should be.

Fuck yes, you made that shit look light

Nice👍🏼

Hi! I am amatour deeply interested in topic of consciousness and agency. Your work is very promissing in my eyes. I appreciate what you do. This is gold and I think right direction. It's easy to miss valuable materials like this I hope you gain more audience and attention. Thank you for sharing you knowledge and ideas. I still need a time familiarize myself in details with your perspective, read papers and so on. Integration of good ideas is what we need these days and you put together very important elements of the puzzles. I like how you get together two theories and connecting them in respect to front and back brain processing and their functionality. I am courious if you can make more connection to some other distinctions like left&right hemisphers specializations (&anatomy) and cortex/limbic system/brainstem. Maybe you already did it I will need to check this. Looking forward to more of your accomplishments.

Extremely enjoyable and insightful presentation. I have this burning desire to try and teach some variety of ape to play drums, bass and keyboard. The more I try to bring myself back to reality and dismiss my vain projection, the more I'm convinced we have enough in common that they too could enjoy playing rythmic patterns and sharing emotions thru colourful harmonies (notes as you know are rythmic orderly soundwaves anyway). Getting entranced and experincing some of those chills just like your father did alone behind his piano or playing in a band. Also I always had this weird sentiment when playing in a band and the music is real good that we're basically having sex with each other. I've often likened practicing the piano by myself as masturbating. Every day I shamefully wonder how is it even possible that I'm payed three times the salary of a farm / construction worker just to masturbate while they do backbreaking essential work. Wall of text comming but I'm simply gonna copy paste something that I leave behind to people like you who make material that I found useful : As a musician I’ve been able to play with people from different countries that didn’t speak my language. We even succefully jammed on musical styles they had never heard before. It took a few seconds to get a feel for the rythmic pattern, a few more once the bass was added to get a feel for possible harmonies, and then off we went, throwing emotions at each other without having said a word. As a pinao teacher I’ve also noticed while teaching kids that explaining things with words is mostly un necessary. Sometimes they don’t even understand the words I’m using as they “just arrived” xD But they are extremely receptive when i show them and they can simply imitate. They have very accute pattern recognition skills, be it visually on the keyboard or auditively. People who think they don’t have the musical ear simply haven’t really been asked to try. If you ask kids they’ll play by ear reeeeaaal fast. A matter of weeks until they get over the frustration of constantly missing, to being quite sharp at guessing which notes fit what they hear in their head… So I'd love to give apes a real shot at playing music. But I have no idea where to start. On the musical side of things I have a plan, very aware that just like with kids the plan gets distorted a LOT as the path of least resistance often shows up spontaneously. For the rest of the endeavour, no idea. If you have any please let me know. If I have to choose I guess I would try to teach Orang Utangs. From what I understand they are not as aggressive as other Apes, and hopefully quite curious. Bouts of frustration are inevitable behind an instrument and I don’t want to get my face ripped off. Kids already go quite wild if you ask them something too hard and insist a bit too much ^^

Very excellent presentation.

Quality content!! More videos, please :)

By twin flame, do U mean my non duality soul?

Extremely intresting findings though I bet they will be sensored if more studies replicate them. Good work.

Hi, very nice, thank you for the presentation. I studied Psychology, but I am not so good at reading the images (minute 3). I understood from previous literature that women - in tendency, as always - have more flexibility in their sexual desire (and behavior). But if I look at the images, I see "less activity" in the female brain. Could it be that the stimuli are less relevant for women after all? Can it be that images are in general less arousing for women than for men?

This is absolutely fascinating. This triggered a lot of my own thoughts, especially with how to look at sexual dysfunction and relationship problems. I also thought about pattern recognition and how that relates to these rhythms you are talking about. It is so interesting how these things are connected or perhaps interconnected. I am going back to school this January with the hopes of going into neuroscience or neurology. These are very similar to many of the questions I have, and your pictures and connections are very revealing. Great stuff.

This is fantastic

This is really one of the most important videos *EVER* (most psychedelic videos are excessively wordy, this one puts ALL the truths in 7 minutes) #MostImportantKZfaqVideosOfAllTime

I guess the super-high res fmri computer would need to reverse engineer an image of the body in a similar way that an x-ray crystallography machine constructs an image of the crystallised molecule from scattered light?!

It's becoming clearer that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding. By this I mean, can any particular theory be used to create a human adult level conscious machine. My bet is on the late Gerald Edelman's Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection. The lead group in robotics based on this theory is the Neurorobotics Lab at UC at Irvine. Dr. Edelman distinguished between primary consciousness, which came first in evolution, and that humans share with other conscious animals, and higher order consciousness, which came to only humans with the acquisition of language. A machine with primary consciousness will probably have to come first. The thing I find special about the TNGS is the Darwin series of automata created at the Neurosciences Institute by Dr. Edelman and his colleagues in the 1990's and 2000's. These machines perform in the real world, not in a restricted simulated world, and display convincing physical behavior indicative of higher psychological functions necessary for consciousness, such as perceptual categorization, memory, and learning. They are based on realistic models of the parts of the biological brain that the theory claims subserve these functions. The extended TNGS allows for the emergence of consciousness based only on further evolutionary development of the brain areas responsible for these functions, in a parsimonious way. No other research I've encountered is anywhere near as convincing. I post because on almost every video and article about the brain and consciousness that I encounter, the attitude seems to be that we still know next to nothing about how the brain and consciousness work; that there's lots of data but no unifying theory. I believe the extended TNGS is that theory. My motivation is to keep that theory in front of the public. And obviously, I consider it the route to a truly conscious machine, primary and higher-order. Dr. Edelman's roadmap to a conscious machine is at arxiv.org/abs/2105.10461

Provocative and compelling
