Welcome back to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast.
2
00:00:23,040 –> 00:00:30,320
In case you’re just joining us, you’re listening to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast
3
00:00:30,320 –> 00:00:38,960
with Emma Hickins and Travel Gear.
4
00:00:38,960 –> 00:00:47,320
The timing won’t come to your mind at certain points because you might be in the, you know,
5
00:00:47,320 –> 00:00:54,760
depends on the mood you might be angry and at that point lots of stuff will come to mind.
6
00:00:54,760 –> 00:01:01,560
You can’t really control them but the action you take you can control.
7
00:01:01,560 –> 00:01:08,160
That’s the way I see it.
8
00:01:08,160 –> 00:01:15,400
Yeah and I think what you said there absolutely tell is with what a lot of eminent scientists
9
00:01:15,400 –> 00:01:21,920
do say and it’s quite an interesting point because one, one very important part of living
10
00:01:21,920 –> 00:01:28,720
in a society, a society has to have rules, regulations because otherwise if people are
11
00:01:28,720 –> 00:01:34,240
allowed to do just what they want, I’m wise or in any otherwise, a society couldn’t possibly
12
00:01:34,240 –> 00:01:35,240
function.
13
00:01:35,240 –> 00:01:40,720
So the question that can sometimes come up about free will, if we don’t actually have
14
00:01:40,720 –> 00:01:48,560
much by way of free will, then how can we hold responsible or accountable in society,
15
00:01:48,560 –> 00:01:53,160
people who commit crimes and eventually they go to prison.
16
00:01:53,160 –> 00:01:58,000
You know, if we don’t have control over what we do, what we are but it just happens and
17
00:01:58,000 –> 00:02:00,520
how do we do that?
18
00:02:00,520 –> 00:02:06,040
And this is really the point and a lot of neuroscientists, doctors, etc.
19
00:02:06,040 –> 00:02:14,360
The view is that in a way people who have got the capacity to do bad things more than the
20
00:02:14,360 –> 00:02:20,520
average if you like, they’ve got more free will than the majority because as you rightly
21
00:02:20,520 –> 00:02:26,440
say, when they got a notion of doing something that they know they shouldn’t do, and let’s
22
00:02:26,440 –> 00:02:30,760
take out things like desperation or whatever, but they know they shouldn’t do it.
23
00:02:30,760 –> 00:02:32,520
It’s a criminal act.
24
00:02:32,520 –> 00:02:36,960
They actually do have the option of saying, no, I’m not going to do that.
25
00:02:36,960 –> 00:02:39,880
So they’re making a free will choice.
26
00:02:39,880 –> 00:02:47,360
Whereas as I’ve said before, and as Einstein said, really most of us don’t have that freedom
27
00:02:47,360 –> 00:02:51,040
to do those things we would never normally do.
28
00:02:51,040 –> 00:02:57,880
So yeah, I think we’ve felt on a very good point there that, you know, free will is something
29
00:02:57,880 –> 00:03:02,760
that very hard to define whether we really have it or not.
30
00:03:02,760 –> 00:03:07,520
It’s interesting because as I say, Einstein had very strong views on this and there’s a bit
31
00:03:07,520 –> 00:03:12,120
of an aside, we all have heard of Marilyn Monroe, haven’t we?
32
00:03:12,120 –> 00:03:17,480
And it said, the question was, what did Marilyn Monroe say about Einstein?
33
00:03:17,480 –> 00:03:23,200
The famous anecdote claims Marilyn Monroe said to Einstein, would it not be wonderful
34
00:03:23,200 –> 00:03:28,560
if we had a child with your brains and my beauty?
35
00:03:28,560 –> 00:03:30,240
That’s what she said to Einstein.
36
00:03:30,240 –> 00:03:36,040
Einstein has said to her, which way replied, yes, but imagine a child with my beauty and
37
00:03:36,040 –> 00:03:37,040
your brains.
38
00:03:37,040 –> 00:03:38,040
No.
39
00:03:38,040 –> 00:03:40,040
That is obviously quite humorous.
40
00:03:40,040 –> 00:03:42,440
An anecdote may or may not be true.
41
00:03:42,440 –> 00:03:47,840
Interestingly, something people probably don’t know is that Marilyn Monroe had they reckon
42
00:03:47,840 –> 00:03:54,160
that IQ intelligence quotient of 160, which is the same as Einstein.
43
00:03:54,160 –> 00:04:00,400
She was actually a very, very intelligent woman and she has quite a history.
44
00:04:00,400 –> 00:04:04,600
There have been films written about her and so on.
45
00:04:04,600 –> 00:04:07,200
But yeah, they were around together.
46
00:04:07,200 –> 00:04:15,280
There were both icons around at the same time, Marilyn Monroe and Albert Einstein.
47
00:04:15,280 –> 00:04:18,520
He once said, I’m a determinist.
48
00:04:18,520 –> 00:04:26,480
He famously stated, I do not believe in free will, that I believe in free won’t, which I
49
00:04:26,480 –> 00:04:30,800
thought was quite an interesting aside.
50
00:04:30,800 –> 00:04:35,200
Another aside here, I don’t want to go off tangent too much because we’re leading up to
51
00:04:35,200 –> 00:04:43,200
what I said before about how accountable are people in society for the things they do.
52
00:04:43,200 –> 00:04:48,800
She has to have rules and punish people, put them in prison, take their liberty away for
53
00:04:48,800 –> 00:04:49,800
bad things.
54
00:04:49,800 –> 00:04:55,280
But if ultimately people are not fully accountable, then you’ve got a problem.
55
00:04:55,280 –> 00:05:00,640
But on this subject, it’s good to get to see what intelligent, highly intelligent people
56
00:05:00,640 –> 00:05:03,160
have said about this.
57
00:05:03,160 –> 00:05:05,120
This is one such woman.
58
00:05:05,120 –> 00:05:09,760
Do you know you probably don’t know, but who is the most intelligent woman ever?
59
00:05:09,760 –> 00:05:13,160
In fact, do you know who had the highest
60
00:05:13,160 –> 00:05:16,160
recorded intelligence quotient ever?
61
00:05:16,160 –> 00:05:18,160
It’s a woman.
62
00:05:18,160 –> 00:05:20,160
You probably won’t know her.
63
00:05:20,160 –> 00:05:23,400
Funnily enough, she’s another Marilyn, not Marilyn Monroe.
64
00:05:23,400 –> 00:05:25,200
Marilyn von Seventh.
65
00:05:25,200 –> 00:05:27,200
She was born in 1946.
66
00:05:27,200 –> 00:05:31,000
I think she’s now 78 or 79.
67
00:05:31,000 –> 00:05:32,000
Okay.
68
00:05:32,000 –> 00:05:38,000
She’s recognized for having the highest recorded intelligence in the Guinness Book of Records.
69
00:05:38,000 –> 00:05:44,560
She had a score which was actually she went through a test of 228.
70
00:05:44,560 –> 00:05:50,720
It was listed in 1985 based on tests taken as a child.
71
00:05:50,720 –> 00:05:54,320
And she owned the title of the smartest person in the world.
72
00:05:54,320 –> 00:05:59,800
She’s a writer and over her Marilyn, ask Marilyn Column and her correct analysis of the
73
00:05:59,800 –> 00:06:01,800
complex Monty Hall problems.
74
00:06:01,800 –> 00:06:10,200
Now by the age of 10 she could read the entire, she’d read the entire American encyclopaedic
75
00:06:10,200 –> 00:06:11,200
range.
76
00:06:11,200 –> 00:06:15,800
She had a record in IQ 228, age 10.
77
00:06:15,800 –> 00:06:16,800
And she’sā¦
78
00:06:16,800 –> 00:06:19,160
We’re going to take a short break now.
79
00:06:19,160 –> 00:06:20,160
