Quick question, could dancing to a song you love work instead of skipping? I'm just wondering if it gives your brain a little extra boost because you've got that extra bit of reward.
This beautiful woman has found the instructions for life. Her enthusiasm for sharing this simple and profound understanding of how our attention and perception control our mind and body in every way. Her genuineness and her compassion for each person carries such a heart warming energy!! A blessing to everyone who hears it and applies it.
literally a chip off the old block!!!
A big block too!
Thanks for the Video❤
What a fascinating interview. I'm thoroughly enjoying this deep dive into Dr Solms's research and how his experiences affected his study and research choices. Thank you! (I've already read The Hidden Spring, and I'm sure these conversations will help me recall and better understand the book with greater depth. I'm also looking forward to hearing more about the progress being made in the development of a simple machine (virtual or real) with artificial consciousness, as I progress through parts 2-9.
Thank you, I needed to do a deep dive to learn about it, I’m glad you find it useful.

Simply from reading the video description I can tell that these are flaming, extremist Leftists, so I'm not going to waste my time here. And this professor comes out of Germany. It's always Germany. Germany is just dead set on destroying Western Civilization. First it was Martin Luther, then it was Hitler, now it's anti-Western woke culture. Germany is just a portal to hell.
I have been sleep thinking for most of my life (77 years old). I don't use it for everyday life experiences. Rather, I pursued an understanding of Nature that many consider impossible to know. There are four steps that I found useful. First, I was 100% convinced I would solve the problem that was driven by curiosity. Second, I needed to work extremely hard at how to solve the problem. Third, I needed to identify the specific conflict while entering a sleep state. And Fourth, I needed to grab the answer while waking; or, it would be gone. Over a span of around half a century, this method provided every crux thought. Only once did it mislead me. After two years of hard work I had to discard one of only three thoughts that ever triggered endorphins. Now, I could even tell you what the thought was because it was so completely discarded. This is really difficult to do. One can only guess at what sleep mechanism does the hard work. My guess was different than Eric's guess of neurons. Early on, I thought it was neurons, but after discovering the mechanism of entanglement, my guess shifted. Now, I believe the thoughts come from others whether or not they currently live. I know this sounds weird and likely is, but I believe completely in it. It also is the way I like to think of it. In some sense, the entangled thoughts are using the person to do their bidding. I will not try to explain my pursuit, but it does provide a strong basis for my beliefs. Thank you for the discussion. I did not know others pursued many of these thought methods.
Thanks this interesting video

Whether or not Dolms hypothesis is right, the neuroscience community should test it! Amazing topic! Thanks for sharing it! Great job of you both guys!

Democrats have empathy, republicans don't. Indeed it takes much thought and scholarship to utter such an enormity.
Why are you talking about year 2100, have you heard about the singularity? you lose total credibility ! wanted to buy your book, now looking for it on torrent, cause i dont think you understand AI progress
Didn't they know they would eventually get caught? Stupidest guy in the room.😅 As a contractor I made bank from them, with no repercussions
Outstanding!!!
I’m hooked. So much depth and insights from you both! Looking forward to listening to all of these gems.
@FrankGutowski-ls8jt thank you Frank
he faked his findings, so this is major chutzpah.
Thank you @talbrott, As with any topic it has multiple sides to the story, I leaned into learning the other side of the story. He was also investigated for 3 years and his name was cleared.

Dan Ariely until 2020 was among the three psychologists I held in the highest esteem worldwide. Unfortunately, he failed badly during the COVID-19 period. With his intellect and knowledge, he MUST have been able (and that at an early stage) to recognize that we were being led on a wrong course globally. Where was your voice against the madness, Dr. Ariely? Where???
Thank you @udo9999, I am sure Dan would welcome any thoughts via his website: danariely.com/
Still one of my favourite interviews with David.
Thank you Aaron
Fun! And deep.
That is so pure and beautiful
Thank you George
Can anyone please tell if this is a part of the book/ summary or the whole book?
Hi Muhammad, in the show we try to summarise as much as we can. The book is very dense with information so we undoubtedly missed some information.
@@TheInnovationShow Thankyou for replying, I will definitely read the book and comeback to your video for it's summary.
Mark, Totally with you one this. One thing I don't think you spoke to, I believe that we learn what to fell from our experiences. For ex, what its like to see blue changes based on experience and secondly what it feels like to see blue is felt throughot the whole body. If all you have experienced in the presense of the sight of blue is a blue sky on a wonderful day or the ocean waters then waht is may feel like to see blue is the perception of calmness throughout your body, and happy emotions. I even believe we can sense brain activity responses such that our thought and our brain feel calm. But, if we experience near death at the hands of a murderous person dressed in all blue then what it may feel like to see blue is that it is a harsh color and a knot in our stomack and all of the bodily sensations associated with fear. Computers are not self aware in my opinion because they don't have sensors for every aspect of their existence. Transistors in the uproc don't sense the states of other transistors the way that cells do. The computer doesn't see fire in its camera then cause its substrate to react physically then monitor through sensors that its substrate is stressed. Just some thoughts. Cheers. Jim Curry
Ellen is amazing....thank you for this interview
It’s a great pleasure to bring these great people to the fore!
