| Existentialism - Waking Life excerpt
posted by axarca 250 days ago
"The reason why I refuse to take
existentialism as just another French
fashion or historical curiosity is that I
think it has something very important to
offer us for the new century. I'm afraid
we're losing the real virtues of living
life passionately, sense of taking
responsibility for who you are, the
ability to make something of yourself and
feeling good about life. Existentialism is
often discussed as if it's a philosophy of
despair. But I think the truth is just the
opposite. Sartre once interviewed said he
never really felt a day of despair in his
life. But one thing that comes out from
reading these guys is not a sense of
anguish about life so much as a real kind
of exuberance of feeling on top of it.
It's like your life is yours to create.
I've read the postmodernists with some
interest, even admiration. But when I read
them, I always have this awful nagging
feeling that something absolutely
essential is getting left out. The more
that you talk about a person as a social
construction or as a confluence of forces
or as fragmented or marginalized, what you
do is you open up a whole new world of
excuses. And when Sartre talks about
responsibility, he's not talking about
something abstract. He's not talking about
the kind of self or soul that theologians
would argue about. It's something very
concrete. It's you and me talking. Making
decisions. Doing things and taking the
consequences. It might be true that there
are six billion people in the world and
counting. Nevertheless, what you do makes
a difference. It makes a difference, first
of all, in material terms. Makes a
difference to other people and it sets an
example. In short, I think the message
here is that we should never simply write
ourselves off and see ourselves as the
victim of various forces. It's always our
decision who we are."

| Telescopic Evolution - Waking Life excerpt
posted by axarca 250 days ago
"If we're looking at the highlights of
human development, you have to look at the
evolution of the organism and then at the
development of its interaction with the
environment. Evolution of the organism
will begin with the evolution of life
perceived through the hominid coming to
the evolution of mankind. Neanderthal and
Cro-Magnon man. Now, interestingly, what
you're looking at here are three strings:
biological, anthropological —
development of the cities — and
cultural, which is human expression.
Now, what you've seen here is the
evolution of populations, not so much the
evolution of individuals. And in addition,
if you look at the time scales that are
involved here — two billion years
for life, six million years for the
hominid, 100,000 years for mankind as we
know it — you're beginning to see
the telescoping nature of the evolutionary
paradigm. And then when you get to
agricultural, when you get to scientific
revolution and industrial revolution,
you're looking at 10,000 years, 400 years,
150 years. Uou're seeing a further
telescoping of this evolutionary time.
What that means is that as we go through
the new evolution, it's gonna telescope to
the point we should be able to see it
manifest itself within our lifetime,
within this generation.
The new evolution stems from information,
and it stems from two types of
information: digital and analog. The
digital is artificial intelligence. The
analog results from molecular biology, the
cloning of the organism. And you knit the
two together with neurobiology. Before on
the old evolutionary paradigm, one would
die and the other would grow and dominate.
But under the new paradigm, they would
exist as a mutually supportive,
noncompetitive grouping. Okay, independent
from the external.
And what is interesting here is that
evolution now becomes an individually
centered process, emanating from the needs
and desires of the individual, and not an
external process, a passive process where
the individual is just at the whim of the
collective. So, you produce a neo-human,
okay, with a new individuality and a new
consciousness. But that's only the
beginning of the evolutionary cycle
because as the next cycle proceeds, the
input is now this new intelligence. As
intelligence piles on intelligence, as
ability piles on ability, the speed
changes. Until what? Until we reach a
crescendo in a way could be imagined as an
enormous instantaneous fulfillment of
human, human and neo-human potential. It
could be something totally different. It
could be the amplification of the
individual, the multiplication of
individual existences. Parallel existences
now with the individual no longer
restricted by time and space.
And the manifestations of this
neo-human-type evolution, manifestations
could be dramatically counter-intuitive.
That's the interesting part. The old
evolution is cold. It's sterile. It's
efficient, okay? And its manifestations of
those social adaptations. We're talking
about parasitism, dominance, morality,
okay? Uh, war, predation, these would be
subject to de-emphasis. These will be
subject to de-evolution. The new
evolutionary paradigm will give us the
human traits of truth, of loyalty, of
justice, of freedom. These will be the
manifestations of the new evolution. And
that is what we would hope to see from
this. That would be nice."

| Free Will and Physics - Waking Life excerpt
posted by axarca 250 days ago
"In a way, in our contemporary world view,
it's easy to think that science has come
to take the place of God. But some
philosophical problems remain as troubling
as ever. Take the problem of free will.
This problem has been around for a long
time, since before Aristotle in 350 B.C.
St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, these
guys all worried about how we can be free
if God already knows in advance everything
you're gonna do. Nowadays we know that the
world operates according to some
fundamental physical laws, and these laws
govern the behavior of every object in the
world. Now, these laws, because they're so
trustworthy, they enable incredible
technological achievements. But look at
yourself. We're just physical systems too,
right? We're just complex arrangements of
carbon molecules. We're mostly water, and
our behavior isn't gonna be an exception
to these basic physical laws. So it starts
to look like whether its God setting
things up in advance and knowing
everything you're gonna do or whether it's
these basic physical laws governing
everything, there's not a lot of room left
for freedom.
So now you might be tempted to just ignore
the question, ignore the mystery of free
will. Say "Oh, well, it's just an
historical anecdote. It's sophomoric. It's
a question with no answer. Just forget
about it." But the question keeps staring
you right in the face. You think about
individuality for example, who you are.
Who you are is mostly a matter of the free
choices that you make. Or take
responsibility. You can only be held
responsible, you can only be found guilty,
or you can only be admired or respected
for things you did of your own free will.
So the question keeps coming back, and we
don't really have a solution to it. It
starts to look like all our decisions are
really just a charade.
Think about how it happens. There's some
electrical activity in your brain. Your
neurons fire. They send a signal down into
your nervous system. It passes along down
into your muscle fibers. They twitch. You
might, say, reach out your arm. It looks
like it's a free action on your part, but
every one of those - every part of that
process is actually governed by physical
law, chemical laws, electrical laws, and
so on.
So now it just looks like the big bang set
up the initial conditions, and the whole
rest of human history, and even before, is
really just the playing out of subatomic
particles according to these basic
fundamental physical laws. We think we're
special. We think we have some kind of
special dignity, but that now comes under
threat. I mean, that's really challenged
by this picture.
So you might be saying, "Well, wait a
minute. What about quantum mechanics? I
know enough contemporary physical theory
to know it's not really like that. It's
really a probabilistic theory. There's
room. It's loose. It's not deterministic."
And that's going to enable us to
understand free will. But if you look at
the details, it's not really going to help
because what happens is you have some very
small quantum particles, and their
behavior is apparently a bit random. They
swerve. Their behavior is absurd in the
sense that its unpredictable and we can't
understand it based on anything that came
before. It just does something out of the
blue, according to a probabilistic
framework. But is that going to help with
freedom? I mean, should our freedom be
just a matter of probabilities, just some
random swerving in a chaotic system? That
starts to seem like it's worse. I'd rather
be a gear in a big deterministic physical
machine than just some random swerving.
So we can't just ignore the problem. We
have to find room in our contemporary
world view for persons with all that that
entails; not just bodies, but persons. And
that means trying to solve the problem of
freedom, finding room for choice and
responsibility, and trying to understand
individuality."

| Joaquin Phoenix - Folsom Prison Blues
posted by klance1 103 days ago
This is (in my opinion) the best scene of
the movie "Walk The Line". It is Johnny
Cash's (Joaquin Phoenix) first audition
for producer Sam Philips, which was also
his first big step towards super stardom.
