  • By The Age Of 10 She Had Read The Entire American Encyclopaedia Range – Trevor Gear

    Show Transcripts

    1
    00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:23,040
    Welcome back to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast.

    2
    00:00:23,040 –> 00:00:32,040
    In case you’re just joining us, you’re listening to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast with Emma Hickins and Travel Gear.

    3
    00:00:32,040 –> 00:00:37,040
    It seemed 46, I think she’s now 78 or 79.

    4
    00:00:37,040 –> 00:00:38,040
    Okay.

    5
    00:00:38,040 –> 00:00:44,040
    She’s recognised for having the highest recorded intelligence in the Guinness Book of Records.

    6
    00:00:44,040 –> 00:00:56,040
    She had a score which was actually she went through a test of 228. It was listed in 1985 based on tests taken as a child.

    7
    00:00:56,040 –> 00:01:08,040
    She owned the title of the smartest person in the world. She’s a writer and over her marinal-ask-mariling column and her correct analysis of the complex Monty Hall problems.

    8
    00:01:08,040 –> 00:01:23,040
    By the age of 10, she could read the entire American encyclopedic range. She had a recorded IQ of 228.810 and she’s still alive.

    9
    00:01:23,040 –> 00:01:36,040
    Now the Guinness Book of Records discontinued this particular record in the 90s because mostly people were not formally recorded by a test which this lady was.

    10
    00:01:36,040 –> 00:01:46,040
    Even Einstein wasn’t and most others were not. Apparently the Monty Hall controversy in 1990, Marralyne sold the Monty Hall problem.

    11
    00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:56,040
    I don’t know what that is. A famous probability puzzle. Her correct answer led to 10,000 letters including many from PhDs arguing against her.

    12
    00:01:56,040 –> 00:02:08,040
    She was proved right. The Guinness Book of Records recorded the highest IQ category. It just shows you that even there guys women come out on top.

    13
    00:02:08,040 –> 00:02:18,040
    We assume it’s not the case. I think we’re going to be running a short time.

    14
    00:02:18,040 –> 00:02:28,040
    But what I want to come on to is people who are punished in society, many with very good reason. We know that.

    15
    00:02:28,040 –> 00:02:36,040
    Do we believe that prisoners should receive education?

    16
    00:02:36,040 –> 00:02:46,040
    Oh, God’s grace. Education. I’ll write that. Put it as reorientation.

    17
    00:02:46,040 –> 00:02:57,040
    As you said earlier, we all come from different backgrounds.

    18
    00:02:57,040 –> 00:03:07,040
    The lifestyle, the people we grew up with, what got different orientations.

    19
    00:03:07,040 –> 00:03:15,040
    For some, they just think, “Oh, that’s like fast art. It’s been. That’s the way they know it.”

    20
    00:03:15,040 –> 00:03:20,040
    They just do it that way. Some of them need reorientation.

    21
    00:03:20,040 –> 00:03:32,040
    Most people would tell you that education is limited. In the four walls of the higher institutions, it’s kind of limited.

    22
    00:03:32,040 –> 00:03:43,040
    They don’t really teach you everything about life per se. But if you give them some sort of reorientation, they say they’ve come from a different background.

    23
    00:03:43,040 –> 00:03:51,040
    But our life is in this part of the world. You give them reorientation, which is a form of education anyway.

    24
    00:03:51,040 –> 00:04:00,040
    But I would put it reorientation rather than education. I’ll put it that way.

    25
    00:04:00,040 –> 00:04:07,040
    You reorientation. You reorientation. Changing the mindset.

    26
    00:04:07,040 –> 00:04:14,040
    Yes. I think that would work more than just putting them in the class. This is A that’s B.

    27
    00:04:14,040 –> 00:04:23,040
    They could still hug you. But if you reorientate, they’ll try to change their mindset. I think that would work better.

    28
    00:04:23,040 –> 00:04:32,040
    Absolutely. Because really, for many of these people who lose their liberty, it’s a revolving door, isn’t it? They go into prison.

    29
    00:04:32,040 –> 00:04:38,040
    They don’t really get much rehabilitation very often. And when they come out, they come out to having no job.

    30
    00:04:38,040 –> 00:04:47,040
    They have no CV often, no home. They may experience homelessness. And in the way is that they then figure that it’s better to go back into prison to get food and…

    31
    00:04:47,040 –> 00:04:56,040
    And it depends on how the system tags them as COVID. They don’t get jobs.

    32
    00:04:56,040 –> 00:05:03,040
    So some of them end up going back to what they know how to do best. Because they’ve never been reorientated.

    33
    00:05:03,040 –> 00:05:13,040
    If someone gets a reorientation and he knows what he or she has done, it’s bad. And that’s why it’s been punished.

    34
    00:05:13,040 –> 00:05:22,040
    Even if he goes out and there’s no job, he knows that it’s bad. Like capital bad. And my keep away from it.

    35
    00:05:22,040 –> 00:05:28,040
    I’ll try to do for all the sorts of livelihood.

    36
    00:05:28,040 –> 00:05:34,040
    What about you, Kuz? What do you think should prison have education?

    37
    00:05:34,040 –> 00:05:44,040
    Well, I think absolutely everybody should be educated. But like Jerome said, it’s got to be targeted education.

    38
    00:05:44,040 –> 00:05:53,040
    You know, targeted towards rehabilitation or reorientation as it’s put it. But it’s still education. You have to educate them.

    39
    00:05:53,040 –> 00:06:03,040
    Whether they’re reminders of what they should be doing or whatever. But yeah, I think absolutely you cannot survive without education.

    40
    00:06:03,040 –> 00:06:12,040
    Everybody has to be educated, even if it’s just the basic things. Because there’s something called life skills.

    41
    00:06:12,040 –> 00:06:18,040
    And these just prepare you for what you’re going to do.

    42
    00:06:18,040 –> 00:06:26,040
    We’re going to take a short break now. We’re back shortly. You’ve been listening to the Alien Space Ship talk show with Trevor Gear and Emily Higgins.

  • But The Action You Take, You Can Control – Jerome John On Actions We Take When We’re Emotional

    Show Transcript

    1
    00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:23,040
    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’s…

    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
    We’re back shortly.

    80
    00:06:20,160 –> 00:06:26,760
    You’ve been listening to the Alien Space Ship Talkshow with Travel Gear and Alien Hicans.

    81
    00:06:26,760 –> 00:06:31,640
    The Alien Space Ship Talkshow podcast is looking for sponsors.

    82

  • Neuroscientist Believe 95 Percent Of The Decisions We Make – Trevor Gear On Decision-Making

    Show Transcript

    1
    00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:23,040
    Welcome back to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast.

    2
    00:00:23,040 –> 00:00:30,040
    In case you’re just joining us, you’re listening to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast

    3
    00:00:30,040 –> 00:00:33,040
    with Emma Hickins and Travel Gear.

    4
    00:00:33,040 –> 00:00:40,800
    Categorically, that and specific experiments allowing further time lapse, that where we were

    5
    00:00:40,800 –> 00:00:46,600
    asked to make a decision on something a picture we see or whatever, in turns out the brain

    6
    00:00:46,600 –> 00:00:51,040
    has already made our choice, before we’re conscious of that choice.

    7
    00:00:51,040 –> 00:00:55,720
    And there’s many experiments which scientists have done to prove this point.

    8
    00:00:55,720 –> 00:00:57,760
    Our brain is such an incredible thing.

    9
    00:00:57,760 –> 00:00:59,520
    It’s managing all of our systems.

    10
    00:00:59,520 –> 00:01:03,480
    It’s something we can’t describe as brilliance.

    11
    00:01:03,480 –> 00:01:11,200
    But actually it makes probably neuroscientists believe 95% of the decisions which we make.

    12
    00:01:11,200 –> 00:01:14,400
    And if you think about it, that is almost obvious.

    13
    00:01:14,400 –> 00:01:17,600
    And I stick with this because it is related.

    14
    00:01:17,600 –> 00:01:21,880
    We get up in the mornings, now we all have different lives, we have different things to do.

    15
    00:01:21,880 –> 00:01:23,680
    Some will get up, they’re going to go to work.

    16
    00:01:23,680 –> 00:01:26,760
    But first they’ll have a cup of tea or cup of coffee.

    17
    00:01:26,760 –> 00:01:31,040
    Now they may say to themselves, “I want to see your coffee.”

    18
    00:01:31,040 –> 00:01:37,320
    I suspect most of us, we go through the motions, we’re simply spending the first thing in

    19
    00:01:37,320 –> 00:01:40,560
    the morning on autopilot as we do much of the day.

    20
    00:01:40,560 –> 00:01:45,120
    So we have our coffee or tea, we have our cereal perhaps on toast.

    21
    00:01:45,120 –> 00:01:50,040
    And we’re not really consciously making decisions because probably we’ve made those decisions

    22
    00:01:50,040 –> 00:01:51,720
    a thousand times.

    23
    00:01:51,720 –> 00:01:52,720
    That’s just what we do.

    24
    00:01:52,720 –> 00:01:53,720
    It’s autopilot.

    25
    00:01:53,720 –> 00:01:56,560
    We then go out, we may be going to work, we may not be.

    26
    00:01:56,560 –> 00:01:59,160
    But whatever we do, we may get in the car.

    27
    00:01:59,160 –> 00:02:01,640
    It’s all autopilot.

    28
    00:02:01,640 –> 00:02:03,360
    And so it goes on through the day.

    29
    00:02:03,360 –> 00:02:06,520
    Now, how many times during the day will we make decisions?

    30
    00:02:06,520 –> 00:02:07,840
    Well, we will make decisions.

    31
    00:02:07,840 –> 00:02:10,760
    Do I cross the road at this point or not?

    32
    00:02:10,760 –> 00:02:12,280
    Do I turn left of this junction?

    33
    00:02:12,280 –> 00:02:13,280
    Is that quicker?

    34
    00:02:13,280 –> 00:02:14,560
    Because there’s traffic up ahead.

    35
    00:02:14,560 –> 00:02:21,200
    We make in micro decisions really, but the brain itself is probably leading us on.

    36
    00:02:21,200 –> 00:02:27,300
    Now, my next question then, on this free will, if you think we have free will, do you have

    37
    00:02:27,300 –> 00:02:32,740
    free will as to what your next thought will be?

    38
    00:02:32,740 –> 00:02:34,080
    Can you control your thoughts?

    39
    00:02:34,080 –> 00:02:37,120
    What thoughts you’re going to have in the next thought?

    40
    00:02:37,120 –> 00:02:39,280
    Especially if you’re not okay.

    41
    00:02:39,280 –> 00:02:44,520
    If you’re focusing on something specific, then as we do, we’re reading a book or we’re

    42
    00:02:44,520 –> 00:02:49,800
    looking at a particular subject, then that’s going to kind of lead one thought into the next.

    43
    00:02:49,800 –> 00:02:51,800
    Well, I might do this.

    44
    00:02:51,800 –> 00:02:53,200
    Might do that.

    45
    00:02:53,200 –> 00:02:57,840
    But when we’re just sitting there, perhaps not really thinking about much, you might be sitting,

    46
    00:02:57,840 –> 00:03:03,880
    having a drink by looking out to the sea, if you buy the seaside or whatever, just not

    47
    00:03:03,880 –> 00:03:09,440
    really thinking anything, can you control what thoughts will come into your head?

    48
    00:03:09,440 –> 00:03:11,240
    Or are they just planted there?

    49
    00:03:11,240 –> 00:03:12,760
    Where do they come from?

    50
    00:03:12,760 –> 00:03:17,080
    So if we’ve got the free will to control our thoughts, our thinking.

    51
    00:03:17,080 –> 00:03:20,080
    That’s a very good question.

    52
    00:03:20,080 –> 00:03:22,080
    I’ll let Geron go first.

    53
    00:03:22,080 –> 00:03:24,080
    Are you talking about me?

    54
    00:03:24,080 –> 00:03:25,080
    Yeah.

    55
    00:03:25,080 –> 00:03:27,080
    Yeah, Geron, yeah.

    56
    00:03:27,080 –> 00:03:28,080
    Okay.

    57
    00:03:28,080 –> 00:03:29,080
    Can you just refresh again?

    58
    00:03:29,080 –> 00:03:30,080
    Just the question.

    59
    00:03:30,080 –> 00:03:31,080
    Yeah.

    60
    00:03:31,080 –> 00:03:32,080
    Okay.

    61
    00:03:32,080 –> 00:03:33,080
    We’re talking about our thoughts.

    62
    00:03:33,080 –> 00:03:34,080
    Right?

    63
    00:03:34,080 –> 00:03:35,080
    We said already we kind of live in our head.

    64
    00:03:35,080 –> 00:03:49,400
    Don’t we?

    65
    00:03:49,400 –> 00:04:18,120
    Yeah.

    66
    00:04:18,120 –> 00:04:25,120
    Okay.

    67
    00:04:25,120 –> 00:04:31,200
    That’s, that’s, that’s, that’s, that’s, that’s, that’s, that’s, that’s, that’s, it gets to some

    68
    00:04:31,200 –> 00:04:34,240
    extent, yeah.

    69
    00:04:34,240 –> 00:04:38,960
    You, you, you, you can’t control what comes from within, yeah.

    70
    00:04:38,960 –> 00:04:47,440
    But at the same time, taking, taking the action, before you take the action, you can decide

    71
    00:04:47,440 –> 00:04:49,440
    not to go with the thoughts.

    72
    00:04:49,440 –> 00:04:50,440
    Okay.

    73
    00:04:50,440 –> 00:04:54,880
    Let me just, let me just, a weird example, yeah.

    74
    00:04:54,880 –> 00:04:56,480
    Just wake up in the morning.

    75
    00:04:56,480 –> 00:04:57,480
    Oh.

    76
    00:04:57,480 –> 00:04:58,960
    You don’t have milk at home.

    77
    00:04:58,960 –> 00:05:00,160
    No job, nothing.

    78
    00:05:00,160 –> 00:05:01,160
    Oh.

    79
    00:05:01,160 –> 00:05:03,000
    I could go to the store.

    80
    00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:04,000
    Nick one.

    81
    00:05:04,000 –> 00:05:05,000
    You understand?

    82
    00:05:05,000 –> 00:05:06,000
    Yeah.

    83
    00:05:06,000 –> 00:05:07,000
    That fulfills the desire.

    84
    00:05:07,000 –> 00:05:10,680
    But I said, fine, you could drink up.

    85
    00:05:10,680 –> 00:05:12,160
    Why would that go shop, please?

    86
    00:05:12,160 –> 00:05:13,760
    That’s not part of me.

    87
    00:05:13,760 –> 00:05:16,080
    Then you control that thought.

    88
    00:05:16,080 –> 00:05:17,080
    You understand?

    89
    00:05:17,080 –> 00:05:19,760
    So that’s, that’s what I can say.

    90
    00:05:19,760 –> 00:05:31,960
    You can’t really, um, the time what would come to your mind at certain points, because you

    91
    00:05:31,960 –> 00:05:38,840
    might be in a, in a, depends on the mood, you might be angry, angry, and at that point, lots

    92
    00:05:38,840 –> 00:05:41,840
    of stuff will come to mind.

    93
    00:05:41,840 –> 00:05:51,440
    You can’t really control them, but the action you think you can control.

    94
    00:05:51,440 –> 00:05:54,320
    That’s the way I see it.

    95
    00:05:54,320 –> 00:05:55,320
    Yeah.

    96
    00:05:55,320 –> 00:06:02,480
    And I think what you’ve said there, absolutely, tell is with what a lot of eminent scientists

    97
    00:06:02,480 –> 00:06:09,000
    do say, and it’s quite an interesting point, because one, one very important part of living

    98
    00:06:09,000 –> 00:06:16,000
    in a society, a society has to have rules, regulations, because otherwise, if people are

    99
    00:06:16,000 –> 00:06:17,000
    a…

    100
    00:06:17,000 –> 00:06:20,800
    We’re going to take a short break now, we’re back shortly.

  • Do You Really Have Freewill To Go And Do Whatever You Want? – Trevor Gear On Freewill

    Show Transcript

    1
    00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:23,040
    Welcome back to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast.

    2
    00:00:23,040 –> 00:00:35,120
    In your point you think we have got free will.

    3
    00:00:35,120 –> 00:00:40,960
    In fact, just ask yourself, do you really have free will to do anything you want?

    4
    00:00:40,960 –> 00:00:42,960
    Could you really go and do anything?

    5
    00:00:42,960 –> 00:00:49,960
    Because if in fact you would never ever do that no matter what the circumstances, then

    6
    00:00:49,960 –> 00:00:52,440
    you don’t have the free will to do that.

    7
    00:00:52,440 –> 00:00:54,440
    Do you know that you do not see that?

    8
    00:00:54,440 –> 00:00:56,440
    No, I don’t actually.

    9
    00:00:56,440 –> 00:01:01,880
    This is, now I thought I was confused but now I think I get it now.

    10
    00:01:01,880 –> 00:01:06,000
    So we have free will.

    11
    00:01:06,000 –> 00:01:10,200
    Sometimes your mind could be corrupted.

    12
    00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:19,360
    Maybe under the influence of a substance, a liquid, whatever it could corrupt your mind.

    13
    00:01:19,360 –> 00:01:22,080
    And then what happens to that free will that you are talking about.

    14
    00:01:22,080 –> 00:01:23,920
    It goes out of the window, don’t you?

    15
    00:01:23,920 –> 00:01:28,760
    Because you can then literally do whatever you want.

    16
    00:01:28,760 –> 00:01:35,960
    Under the influence of drink driving people that would normally not drive a car recklessly

    17
    00:01:35,960 –> 00:01:38,040
    would.

    18
    00:01:38,040 –> 00:01:40,040
    And that’s a free will.

    19
    00:01:40,040 –> 00:01:43,400
    You chose to have that drink.

    20
    00:01:43,400 –> 00:01:49,200
    You’ve chose to get behind that car and you’ve chose to drive it.

    21
    00:01:49,200 –> 00:01:51,280
    That’s free will.

    22
    00:01:51,280 –> 00:01:56,600
    Because without the drink otherwise you would have been able to be a good driver.

    23
    00:01:56,600 –> 00:02:01,680
    But under the influence of a drink or alcohol you are not a good driver.

    24
    00:02:01,680 –> 00:02:03,240
    But you still have that free will.

    25
    00:02:03,240 –> 00:02:07,720
    You could choose to have left that car at home.

    26
    00:02:07,720 –> 00:02:09,680
    While you know your intentions.

    27
    00:02:09,680 –> 00:02:10,680
    You know what?

    28
    00:02:10,680 –> 00:02:14,720
    I’m going out and I’m going to have a good time.

    29
    00:02:14,720 –> 00:02:16,120
    You could leave the car at home.

    30
    00:02:16,120 –> 00:02:19,320
    When you choose not to leave the car at home, that’s free will.

    31
    00:02:19,320 –> 00:02:22,040
    So yes, we do have free will.

    32
    00:02:22,040 –> 00:02:26,160
    How we choose to use our free will is entirely up to us.

    33
    00:02:26,160 –> 00:02:32,920
    Yeah, I mean what you’ve described there is, should we say, mental incapacitation because

    34
    00:02:32,920 –> 00:02:40,880
    most scientists agree, most neurosciences agree that if we have free will at all is a pretty

    35
    00:02:40,880 –> 00:02:42,800
    limited extent.

    36
    00:02:42,800 –> 00:02:44,240
    Because of the factors we talked about.

    37
    00:02:44,240 –> 00:02:50,520
    In other words, people’s environment, they’re upbringing and most things we would never do.

    38
    00:02:50,520 –> 00:02:54,880
    It’s only bad things because that’s not within our constitution to do that.

    39
    00:02:54,880 –> 00:02:57,240
    But one of the exceptions I’ve said is desperation.

    40
    00:02:57,240 –> 00:03:02,440
    If you were really putting in an impossible situation in life where it’s life or death for

    41
    00:03:02,440 –> 00:03:08,560
    you or your family, then people can go outside of what they may know is right or wrong in

    42
    00:03:08,560 –> 00:03:09,560
    desperation.

    43
    00:03:09,560 –> 00:03:17,280
    Another one is mental incapacity, either mental illness or drugs, perhaps illegal drugs or

    44
    00:03:17,280 –> 00:03:18,280
    alcohol.

    45
    00:03:18,280 –> 00:03:22,560
    Then people on get drunk, are capable of doing stuff.

    46
    00:03:22,560 –> 00:03:25,560
    They would never do in ordinary circumstances.

    47
    00:03:25,560 –> 00:03:29,480
    You read this sometimes on an aeroplane that somebody has gone berserk.

    48
    00:03:29,480 –> 00:03:33,640
    They’ve been drunk and threatening passengers and crew and everything else.

    49
    00:03:33,640 –> 00:03:38,280
    And they usually get punished quite severely by the courts.

    50
    00:03:38,280 –> 00:03:40,440
    They say, “I can’t remember any of it.

    51
    00:03:40,440 –> 00:03:41,440
    It’s all hazy.

    52
    00:03:41,440 –> 00:03:43,360
    I did have some drink and so on.”

    53
    00:03:43,360 –> 00:03:49,480
    So yeah, that’s an exception to the rule of free will.

    54
    00:03:49,480 –> 00:03:53,760
    But it does remain the fact that whether we like it or not, I mean, just to look at some

    55
    00:03:53,760 –> 00:04:01,560
    of the scientists say, whether humans have free will is a deeply contested, unresolved

    56
    00:04:01,560 –> 00:04:08,240
    debate across philosophy, science and theology, many argue it’s an illusion driven by a determined

    57
    00:04:08,240 –> 00:04:12,960
    realistic biological environmental factors, which is what we’ve said.

    58
    00:04:12,960 –> 00:04:20,240
    One others argue for compatibilism that rational agency exists despite deterministic forces.

    59
    00:04:20,240 –> 00:04:29,080
    And another exception people try and say is, well, the brain is such a complicated, incredible

    60
    00:04:29,080 –> 00:04:33,520
    organ beyond anything we could ever describe.

    61
    00:04:33,520 –> 00:04:37,440
    In itself makes us potentially unpredictable.

    62
    00:04:37,440 –> 00:04:43,920
    And if we’re unpredictable, then in a sense that that’s where free will can really manifest

    63
    00:04:43,920 –> 00:04:45,080
    itself.

    64
    00:04:45,080 –> 00:04:47,840
    So there’s a lot of contention on this.

    65
    00:04:47,840 –> 00:04:54,880
    Now in fact, if we look at what someone like Einstein says, “I’m fine, and this law of this

    66
    00:04:54,880 –> 00:05:01,960
    links into IQ and intelligence, really, I suppose, has to do with the brain.”

    67
    00:05:01,960 –> 00:05:06,760
    He was a staunch determinist who believed that free will is an illusion.

    68
    00:05:06,760 –> 00:05:13,480
    He argued that human actions are dictated by prior causes such as nature, nurture and

    69
    00:05:13,480 –> 00:05:14,880
    the law of physics.

    70
    00:05:14,880 –> 00:05:20,720
    Meaning we cannot control our desires or actions, but merely act on them.

    71
    00:05:20,720 –> 00:05:30,320
    And there’s also a case where experiments have shown quite categorically that, and specific

    72
    00:05:30,320 –> 00:05:36,120
    experiments allowing further time lapse, that where we’re asked to make a decision on something

    73
    00:05:36,120 –> 00:05:42,600
    a picture we see or whatever, in turns out the brain has already made our choice.

    74
    00:05:42,600 –> 00:05:44,760
    Before we’re conscious of that choice.

    75
    00:05:44,760 –> 00:05:48,920
    And there’s many experiments which scientists have done to prove this point.

    76
    00:05:48,920 –> 00:05:51,440
    Our brain is such an incredible thing.

    77
    00:05:51,440 –> 00:05:53,200
    It’s managing all of our systems.

    78
    00:05:53,200 –> 00:05:57,160
    It’s something we can’t describe as brilliance.

    79
    00:05:57,160 –> 00:06:04,880
    But actually, it makes probably neuroscientists believe 95% of the decisions which we make.

    80
    00:06:04,880 –> 00:06:08,080
    And if you think about it, that is almost obvious.

    81
    00:06:08,080 –> 00:06:11,280
    And I stick with this because it is related.

    82
    00:06:11,280 –> 00:06:13,640
    We get up in the morning because now we all have different lives.

    83
    00:06:13,640 –> 00:06:15,560
    We have different things to do.

    84
    00:06:15,560 –> 00:06:16,960
    Some will get up.

    85
    00:06:16,960 –> 00:06:19,120
    We’re going to take a short break now.

    86
    00:06:19,120 –> 00:06:20,120
    We’re back shortly.

    Show Transcripts

    1
    00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:23,040
    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 –> 00:00:34,960
    with Emma Hickins and Travel Gear.

    4
    00:00:34,960 –> 00:00:37,600
    Any free will as people, as humans?

    5
    00:00:37,600 –> 00:00:45,600
    We’ve got rights and needs, right to breed.

    6
    00:00:45,600 –> 00:00:56,960
    Now, am I confusing myself?

    7
    00:00:56,960 –> 00:00:58,960
    How do I put this?

    8
    00:00:58,960 –> 00:01:03,840
    I think we do, but I think I would just say it’s limited.

    9
    00:01:03,840 –> 00:01:06,920
    Let me just put it that way.

    10
    00:01:06,920 –> 00:01:12,200
    So I don’t get confused in the process of trying to explain or go further down.

    11
    00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:16,840
    Yeah, that’s a good way to put it.

    12
    00:01:16,840 –> 00:01:17,840
    It’s limited.

    13
    00:01:17,840 –> 00:01:23,760
    What I think we’re talking about is do we really have impractical terms, not necessarily

    14
    00:01:23,760 –> 00:01:31,360
    theoretical terms, because theoretically, I could go out and get in my car and say, I

    15
    00:01:31,360 –> 00:01:36,120
    think I’ll drive on the wrong side of the road today just for the hell of it, or all

    16
    00:01:36,120 –> 00:01:39,840
    sorts of things that we could theoretically do.

    17
    00:01:39,840 –> 00:01:47,800
    So what I’m suggesting is that in fact, what so impacts our own sense of free will is so

    18
    00:01:47,800 –> 00:01:48,800
    many things.

    19
    00:01:48,800 –> 00:01:55,640
    You can go right back to our childhood, where and when we were born, the environments we were

    20
    00:01:55,640 –> 00:02:02,760
    here now are upbringing the sort of family we had, the forces of influence upon us as we’ve

    21
    00:02:02,760 –> 00:02:04,800
    developed as a human being.

    22
    00:02:04,800 –> 00:02:08,560
    Now, the question I was going to ask at this point, so I will ask it.

    23
    00:02:08,560 –> 00:02:17,760
    I’ll start with you, because do you think anybody is capable of anything, whether it’s good

    24
    00:02:17,760 –> 00:02:24,840
    or bad, do you think if you feel we have free will, which you do, does that mean that you

    25
    00:02:24,840 –> 00:02:30,040
    feel you are capable of doing anything good or bad, because that’s kind of the definition

    26
    00:02:30,040 –> 00:02:31,040
    of free will.

    27
    00:02:31,040 –> 00:02:38,480
    You can do exactly what you want to do.

    28
    00:02:38,480 –> 00:02:39,480
    Good or bad.

    29
    00:02:39,480 –> 00:02:43,560
    Yes, I think that would be the answer.

    30
    00:02:43,560 –> 00:02:46,600
    Yes, you are, you can do whatever you want to do.

    31
    00:02:46,600 –> 00:02:50,240
    You are capable of doing whatever you want to do.

    32
    00:02:50,240 –> 00:02:55,440
    Well, whether it’s good or bad, this is what I have to say, I would disagree with that,

    33
    00:02:55,440 –> 00:03:00,200
    because most people, I guess, in society, we’re all different.

    34
    00:03:00,200 –> 00:03:01,680
    Everyone is unique.

    35
    00:03:01,680 –> 00:03:05,880
    I mean, that’s another almost paradoxical statement.

    36
    00:03:05,880 –> 00:03:09,920
    Everyone is unique, just like everyone else, which contradicts itself.

    37
    00:03:09,920 –> 00:03:12,760
    But we are all unique.

    38
    00:03:12,760 –> 00:03:20,880
    But it’s fair to say, I think, that a majority of humans, a majority of people, would never

    39
    00:03:20,880 –> 00:03:25,720
    go out and mock somebody, would never go and steal their phone or worse, would never go

    40
    00:03:25,720 –> 00:03:27,480
    and murder somebody.

    41
    00:03:27,480 –> 00:03:32,240
    Now, I think under what you’re saying is, you’re saying, well, I have got the free will

    42
    00:03:32,240 –> 00:03:35,920
    to do that.

    43
    00:03:35,920 –> 00:03:38,160
    I don’t know.

    44
    00:03:38,160 –> 00:03:39,760
    Take some stuff from a shop and not pay.

    45
    00:03:39,760 –> 00:03:40,760
    Do some shoplifting.

    46
    00:03:40,760 –> 00:03:43,160
    I’ve got the free will to do that.

    47
    00:03:43,160 –> 00:03:45,480
    And theoretically, I think you’re right.

    48
    00:03:45,480 –> 00:03:46,480
    You have.

    49
    00:03:46,480 –> 00:03:52,520
    We all have, but in practical terms, and if I know you at all, that will be the last thing

    50
    00:03:52,520 –> 00:03:56,480
    you, or Jerome, or I, would ever do.

    51
    00:03:56,480 –> 00:03:58,080
    It’s not within our constitution.

    52
    00:03:58,080 –> 00:04:02,200
    It’s not within our makeup to actually go out and try and harm somebody.

    53
    00:04:02,200 –> 00:04:09,000
    Or to steal something we wouldn’t drive to a petrol station, fill up our car and drive off,

    54
    00:04:09,000 –> 00:04:14,160
    although apparently that’s something that is happening more and more in these economic

    55
    00:04:14,160 –> 00:04:18,920
    times and the war that’s going on, which is not to be justified.

    56
    00:04:18,920 –> 00:04:25,600
    But that’s one exception, perhaps, where people may step outside of their upbringing, their

    57
    00:04:25,600 –> 00:04:30,400
    environment, or the things that they were told to write and wrong, because maybe sometimes

    58
    00:04:30,400 –> 00:04:36,960
    desperation can creep in and force somebody into a situation where they would do something

    59
    00:04:36,960 –> 00:04:38,440
    that they would never otherwise do.

    60
    00:04:38,440 –> 00:04:43,600
    I mean, an extreme perhaps example of that would be if a mother or father can’t feed their

    61
    00:04:43,600 –> 00:04:50,480
    children, they may well go out and steal some food, and with some, you know, because to them

    62
    00:04:50,480 –> 00:04:53,680
    with justification, because otherwise they can’t provide for their kids.

    63
    00:04:53,680 –> 00:05:00,120
    So desperation can impact on an otherwise sense of rights and wrong that impacts all

    64
    00:05:00,120 –> 00:05:05,680
    of us, but to stick with that right and wrong, we couldn’t go out, even if we could, we

    65
    00:05:05,680 –> 00:05:09,360
    in practice, we would not go out and endanger people with our car.

    66
    00:05:09,360 –> 00:05:14,440
    We wouldn’t drive at 80 miles an hour around a local town, for example.

    67
    00:05:14,440 –> 00:05:18,880
    So can you see what I’m saying, Cuz, on your point, you think we have got free will?

    68
    00:05:18,880 –> 00:05:25,040
    In fact, just actually ask yourself, do you really have free will to do anything you want?

    69
    00:05:25,040 –> 00:05:27,000
    Could you really go and do anything?

    70
    00:05:27,000 –> 00:05:34,080
    Just if in fact you would never ever do that no matter what the circumstances, then you

    71
    00:05:34,080 –> 00:05:36,520
    don’t have the free will to do that.

    72
    00:05:36,520 –> 00:05:38,840
    Do you not see that?

    73
    00:05:38,840 –> 00:05:40,520
    No, I don’t actually.

    74
    00:05:40,520 –> 00:05:45,880
    This is, now I thought I was confused, but now I think I get it now.

    75
    00:05:45,880 –> 00:05:50,040
    So we have free will, right?

    76
    00:05:50,040 –> 00:06:03,240
    Sometimes your mind could be corrupted, right?

    77
    00:06:03,240 –> 00:06:06,080
    And then what happens to that free will that you’re talking about?

    78
    00:06:06,080 –> 00:06:07,880
    It goes out of the window, don’t it?

    79
    00:06:07,880 –> 00:06:12,760
    Because you can then literally do whatever you want.

    80
    00:06:12,760 –> 00:06:16,960
    Under the influence of drink driving people that wouldn’t…

    81
    00:06:16,960 –> 00:06:20,880
    We’re going to take a short break now, we’re back shortly.

  • So I’m Thinking Saying My Truth Is Saying My Side Of The Story – Jerome John Of 2 Sided Story

    Show Transcript

    1
    00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:23,040
    Welcome back to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast.

    2
    00:00:23,040 –> 00:00:33,040
    In case you’re just joining us, you’re listening to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast with Emma Hickins and Travel Gear.

    3
    00:00:33,040 –> 00:00:37,040
    Several sites are a story.

    4
    00:00:37,040 –> 00:00:38,040
    Yeah?

    5
    00:00:38,040 –> 00:00:42,040
    So, there are two of more people involved in an incident.

    6
    00:00:42,040 –> 00:00:46,040
    Each of them has to say the other side of the story.

    7
    00:00:46,040 –> 00:00:51,040
    So, I’m thinking saying the truth is, saying your side of the story.

    8
    00:00:51,040 –> 00:00:53,040
    That’s the way I see it.

    9
    00:00:53,040 –> 00:00:55,040
    Yeah, I think there’s a very good way to put it.

    10
    00:00:55,040 –> 00:00:58,040
    I think it recognizes this idea of my truth.

    11
    00:00:58,040 –> 00:01:05,040
    It may not be worldly truth or universal truth, but it’s my truth as I see the world.

    12
    00:01:05,040 –> 00:01:12,040
    It recognizes how actually all of us live in our own minds.

    13
    00:01:12,040 –> 00:01:18,040
    The world is always from, it can only be from our perspective because our existence,

    14
    00:01:18,040 –> 00:01:23,040
    everything we perceive and feel is from within our own minds.

    15
    00:01:23,040 –> 00:01:30,040
    And actually sometimes that can be slightly stressful to think everything’s going on in our heads.

    16
    00:01:30,040 –> 00:01:34,040
    And we just interpret things we see around us.

    17
    00:01:34,040 –> 00:01:38,040
    But yeah, we know how to react to things.

    18
    00:01:38,040 –> 00:01:43,040
    And as I say, my truth, my knowledge is that this is how I see the world.

    19
    00:01:43,040 –> 00:01:51,040
    And maybe sometimes we need that. We can be a bit vulnerable, so we can be a bit therapeutic by talking about my truth.

    20
    00:01:51,040 –> 00:01:56,040
    And it kind of leads us into my next subject, really, which is related to this.

    21
    00:01:56,040 –> 00:01:58,040
    And that is free will.

    22
    00:01:58,040 –> 00:02:01,040
    Now, we have touched on this a few times before.

    23
    00:02:01,040 –> 00:02:02,040
    Free will.

    24
    00:02:02,040 –> 00:02:06,040
    Now, I’ll ask you the straight question, both of you first of all.

    25
    00:02:06,040 –> 00:02:15,040
    Because you first, do you think we as humans actually have free will?

    26
    00:02:15,040 –> 00:02:21,040
    Yes, I do, I do think we do have free will.

    27
    00:02:21,040 –> 00:02:22,040
    Yeah.

    28
    00:02:22,040 –> 00:02:27,040
    Now, this is, we do have free will.

    29
    00:02:27,040 –> 00:02:32,040
    But it’s then limited by the laws of nature.

    30
    00:02:32,040 –> 00:02:34,040
    What does that mean?

    31
    00:02:34,040 –> 00:02:41,040
    Well, if you see a free will, if you have free will, your free will is limited.

    32
    00:02:41,040 –> 00:02:44,040
    And his limit is about the laws of gravity.

    33
    00:02:44,040 –> 00:02:52,040
    There’s over all these over the laws that limit, ordinarily limit what you can’t do.

    34
    00:02:52,040 –> 00:03:01,040
    For instance, you can’t fly off a mountain, for instance, and expect to land on your feet.

    35
    00:03:01,040 –> 00:03:04,040
    And the feet might be sharp.

    36
    00:03:04,040 –> 00:03:05,040
    Of course.

    37
    00:03:05,040 –> 00:03:06,040
    I believe you.

    38
    00:03:06,040 –> 00:03:09,040
    Sorry, so I don’t mean to interrupt you, carry on.

    39
    00:03:09,040 –> 00:03:17,040
    But just to say, when I say free will, I mean, within the realms of possibility of things that can be done, I agree.

    40
    00:03:17,040 –> 00:03:24,040
    Anything that’s outside of possibility because of nature or facts of life.

    41
    00:03:24,040 –> 00:03:29,040
    And of course, we can’t just suddenly decide to fly off somewhere ourselves.

    42
    00:03:29,040 –> 00:03:33,040
    But yeah, I’m talking about within the bounds of what is possible.

    43
    00:03:33,040 –> 00:03:41,040
    Do you think humans actually have free will to make choices to do just what we want to do without any second thought, really?

    44
    00:03:41,040 –> 00:03:43,040
    Is that what you’re saying you believe?

    45
    00:03:43,040 –> 00:03:49,040
    Yeah, I do believe we have the free will to do whatever we want to do.

    46
    00:03:49,040 –> 00:03:57,040
    Without a second thought, thought actually because, you know, something, some actions of voluntary of it.

    47
    00:03:57,040 –> 00:04:01,040
    But yeah, am I making sense?

    48
    00:04:01,040 –> 00:04:06,040
    Do you own what do you think, Jerome? Do we have free will?

    49
    00:04:06,040 –> 00:04:16,040
    On the contrary, though I’ve had the saying this through will, but on the contrary, I think it’s…

    50
    00:04:16,040 –> 00:04:34,040
    I call it a bit limited, or should I say, the sad thing is even if you want to do, yeah, you have to consider the law of the land.

    51
    00:04:34,040 –> 00:04:35,040
    Yeah.

    52
    00:04:35,040 –> 00:04:39,040
    And put other things into consideration.

    53
    00:04:39,040 –> 00:04:48,040
    So by so doing, would I say it’s free? Can I count that as free will?

    54
    00:04:48,040 –> 00:04:52,040
    No, because you have to put other things into consideration before you do it.

    55
    00:04:52,040 –> 00:04:56,040
    You’ve got a right to speak, yeah?

    56
    00:04:56,040 –> 00:05:02,040
    But it is, don’t forget, there is libels, lander and sedition.

    57
    00:05:02,040 –> 00:05:06,040
    If I’m not wrong, this is us.

    58
    00:05:06,040 –> 00:05:10,040
    Yeah, we’ve got a right to speak, but there’s libitation.

    59
    00:05:10,040 –> 00:05:15,040
    So I wouldn’t say we’ve got free will.

    60
    00:05:15,040 –> 00:05:17,040
    That’s right, that’s my take.

    61
    00:05:17,040 –> 00:05:20,040
    Yeah, I think it’s interesting.

    62
    00:05:20,040 –> 00:05:27,040
    So would you say we don’t really have any free will as people, as humans?

    63
    00:05:27,040 –> 00:05:36,040
    We’ve got a right to live, right to breathe.

    64
    00:05:36,040 –> 00:05:44,040
    Now, am I confusing myself?

    65
    00:05:44,040 –> 00:05:47,040
    How do I put this?

    66
    00:05:47,040 –> 00:05:52,040
    I think we do, but I think I would just say it’s limited.

    67
    00:05:52,040 –> 00:06:00,040
    Let me just put it that way, so I don’t get confused and the process of trying to explain our goal further down.

    68
    00:06:00,040 –> 00:06:05,040
    Yeah, that’s a good way to put it, you think it’s limited.

    69
    00:06:05,040 –> 00:06:17,040
    What I think we’re talking about is, do we really have impractical terms, not necessarily theoretical terms, because theoretically, you know, I could go out.

    70
    00:06:17,040 –> 00:06:26,040
    We’re going to take a short break now, we’re back shortly. You’ve been listening to the Alien Space Ship Talk Show with Trevor Gear and Annie Higgins.

    00:00:19,000 –> 00:00:23,000
    Welcome back to the Alien Space ship talk show podcast.

    5
    00:00:23,000 –> 00:00:25,000
    In case you just join in us,

    6
    00:00:25,000 –> 00:00:32,000
    we’ll listen to the Alien Space ship talk show podcast with American’s Emily.

    7
    00:00:32,000 –> 00:00:36,000
    [Music]

    8
    00:00:36,000 –> 00:00:44,000
    Then obviously it contradicts itself because the statement says everything I say is a lie.

    9
    00:00:44,000 –> 00:00:52,000
    Right, now if that statement is not true, in other words everything I say is a lie is not true,

    10
    00:00:52,000 –> 00:00:55,000
    then it also contradicts the statement.

    11
    00:00:55,000 –> 00:01:02,000
    So it’s one of those paradoxes which basically if it’s true it’s false and if it’s false it’s true.

    12
    00:01:02,000 –> 00:01:04,000
    So it just doesn’t work.

    13
    00:01:04,000 –> 00:01:10,000
    Now there’s another very quite well known paradox called the crocodile paradox.

    14
    00:01:10,000 –> 00:01:13,000
    And I’ll be interested in your views on this.

    15
    00:01:13,000 –> 00:01:18,000
    Now there’s a crocodile at the zoo and there’s a lady with a little boy.

    16
    00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:27,000
    Now sadly the crocodile manages to grab the little boy and happy has this little boy sort of in its jaws

    17
    00:01:27,000 –> 00:01:33,000
    but it’s a clever crocodile because it can talk and he sees the alarm on the lady’s face on the mother’s face.

    18
    00:01:33,000 –> 00:01:41,000
    So he says, “Look, if you tell me correctly whether I’m going to keep the boy and possibly eat him

    19
    00:01:41,000 –> 00:01:48,000
    or give him back to you, then I will return the boy.”

    20
    00:01:48,000 –> 00:01:52,000
    Okay, so she’s given her two options to choose.

    21
    00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:58,000
    Either the crocodile will keep an eat the little boy or he’ll return the boy to the mother.

    22
    00:01:58,000 –> 00:02:02,000
    Now what she thinks as well, what can I say here?

    23
    00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:08,000
    What she decides after thinking about it she’ll say, “I think you’ll keep the boy.”

    24
    00:02:08,000 –> 00:02:12,000
    She’ll keep an eat him terrible thing for her to have to say.

    25
    00:02:12,000 –> 00:02:17,000
    Now that gives the crocodile a dilemma and this is where the paradox comes in.

    26
    00:02:17,000 –> 00:02:22,000
    So the mother has said, “I think you’re going to keep an eat my little boy.”

    27
    00:02:22,000 –> 00:02:29,000
    So the crocodile thinks, “Well, if I actually do keep the little boy and eat him, then the mother is right

    28
    00:02:29,000 –> 00:02:34,000
    and I said I will give him back if she was right.”

    29
    00:02:34,000 –> 00:02:38,000
    So he said, “That obviously something that wouldn’t work.”

    30
    00:02:38,000 –> 00:02:47,000
    He said, “But if I do actually give the little boy back, then the mother was wrong in her choice of what I would do.

    31
    00:02:47,000 –> 00:02:49,000
    And if she was wrong I was going to eat him.”

    32
    00:02:49,000 –> 00:02:52,000
    Can you see the paradox that’s there?

    33
    00:02:52,000 –> 00:02:59,000
    By giving her those choices, the creative himself, the crocodile, an impossible situation

    34
    00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:05,000
    and there’s quite a lot of these sort of paradoxes of words on a little story like that.

    35
    00:03:05,000 –> 00:03:10,000
    I mean, kind of deal with truth, untruth and so on.

    36
    00:03:10,000 –> 00:03:19,000
    I mean, you could say something somebody might say is the word impossible is not in my vocabulary.

    37
    00:03:19,000 –> 00:03:23,000
    Well, clearly it is, isn’t it? Because I’ve used it in a sentence.

    38
    00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:27,000
    The only rule is that there are no rules.

    39
    00:03:27,000 –> 00:03:34,000
    Well, again, that’s a bit of a contradiction because that fact is there’s a rule which says there’s no rules.

    40
    00:03:34,000 –> 00:03:39,000
    So this kind of leads us a little bit into truth. What ultimately is truth?

    41
    00:03:39,000 –> 00:03:45,000
    Now, we all know these days that people seem to say, “This is my truth.”

    42
    00:03:45,000 –> 00:03:49,000
    A lot of famous people say that, “Don’t make this is my truth.”

    43
    00:03:49,000 –> 00:03:56,000
    So, Kuz, you first of all, what do you think people mean when they talk about my truth?

    44
    00:03:56,000 –> 00:04:02,000
    I think they just say it.

    45
    00:04:02,000 –> 00:04:08,000
    I think what they say is, “This is what I believe.”

    46
    00:04:08,000 –> 00:04:15,000
    So they’re not really saying, “This is my truth.” They own the truth.

    47
    00:04:15,000 –> 00:04:18,000
    I don’t know, it’s confusing.

    48
    00:04:18,000 –> 00:04:24,000
    I’ve managed to confuse myself now.

    49
    00:04:24,000 –> 00:04:32,000
    You’ve confused me because you’ve now put a situation where I don’t know if this is going on live.

    50
    00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:37,000
    There’s about six of me going up a staircase, the nearer of the top.

    51
    00:04:37,000 –> 00:04:39,000
    Anyway, that’s beside the point.

    52
    00:04:39,000 –> 00:04:43,000
    But yeah, you have confused yourself and I think you’ve confused me.

    53
    00:04:43,000 –> 00:04:45,000
    So what exactly do you mean then?

    54
    00:04:45,000 –> 00:04:51,000
    When people say, “This is my truth.” You just simply say that’s how I feel about something.

    55
    00:04:51,000 –> 00:04:53,000
    Is that what you’re saying?

    56
    00:04:53,000 –> 00:04:58,000
    Yeah, that’s how I feel about it.

    57
    00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:00,000
    This is my take on it.

    58
    00:05:00,000 –> 00:05:01,000
    Let’s put it that way.

    59
    00:05:01,000 –> 00:05:04,000
    That’s a good way to put it.

    60
    00:05:04,000 –> 00:05:05,000
    What about you, Jerome?

    61
    00:05:05,000 –> 00:05:06,000
    What do you think?

    62
    00:05:06,000 –> 00:05:12,000
    I think they’re just trying to say, “The outside of the story of the event or whatever.”

    63
    00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:16,000
    But that’s taking place.

    64
    00:05:16,000 –> 00:05:19,000
    That’s the way I see it.

    65
    00:05:19,000 –> 00:05:24,000
    Someone trying to say, “Easter,” just trying to say, “Easter” in the story.

    66
    00:05:24,000 –> 00:05:29,000
    Because yeah, several sides are doing a story.

    67
    00:05:29,000 –> 00:05:34,000
    So there are two of more people involved in an incident or an issue.

    68
    00:05:34,000 –> 00:05:38,000
    Each of them have to say, “The outside of the story.”

    69
    00:05:38,000 –> 00:05:42,000
    So I’m thinking saying the truth is saying, “The outside of the story.”

    70
    00:05:42,000 –> 00:05:44,000
    That’s the way I see it.

    71
    00:05:44,000 –> 00:05:47,000
    I think that’s a very good way to put it.

    72
    00:05:47,000 –> 00:05:50,000
    I think it recognizes this idea of my truth.

    73
    00:05:50,000 –> 00:05:57,000
    It may not be worldly truth or universal truth, but it’s my truth as I see the world.

    74
    00:05:57,000 –> 00:06:04,000
    It recognizes how actually all of us live in our own minds.

    75
    00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:10,000
    The world is always from, it can only be from our perspective because our existence,

    76
    00:06:10,000 –> 00:06:15,000
    everything we perceive and feel is from within our own minds.

    77
    00:06:15,000 –> 00:06:18,000
    Actually, sometimes.

    78
    00:06:18,000 –> 00:06:21,000
    We’re going to take a short break now.

    79

    Transcripts

    1
    00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:21,400
    Welcome onboard to the Alien Space Ship Talk Show Emmy Hikins, Trevor Gear and Femi Madariola

    2
    00:00:21,400 –> 00:00:28,840
    A podcast where no topic is off limits, fastening a seatbelt, stick the cat along, your

    3
    00:00:28,840 –> 00:00:36,840
    ring for a bumpy ride. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

    4
    00:00:36,840 –> 00:00:44,840
    Ah, right, okay, finally. Breath, do you want to do the open introduction for us please?

    5
    00:00:44,840 –> 00:00:50,020
    Yes indeed, well welcome along. Last two weeks, what’s the cast called the Alien Space

    6
    00:00:50,020 –> 00:00:55,920
    Ship where we discuss all sorts of things. Hopefully you’ll find some of it of interest.

    7
    00:00:55,920 –> 00:01:04,080
    I’m Trevor Gear and he calls me, Bruv. And I’m Emmy Hikins and he calls me Cuz.

    8
    00:01:04,080 –> 00:01:13,680
    And yeah, joining today is Jerome from Ramboom. Yeah, so right, Jerome. All the way from Birmingham

    9
    00:01:13,680 –> 00:01:20,920
    and we’re live. Right, so, Breath, paradoxes. Yeah. Yeah, well we’ll see if we can touch

    10
    00:01:20,920 –> 00:01:27,800
    on three things. Really, paradoxes, free will, truth. So we’ll see how far we get with

    11
    00:01:27,800 –> 00:01:34,280
    it. But we’ve looked at a few paradoxes before because some of them may be can’t really

    12
    00:01:34,280 –> 00:01:44,080
    be true. They can’t exist. So if I say to you this statement, everything I say is a lie.

    13
    00:01:44,080 –> 00:01:51,520
    Now, can you do you think that’s a logical thing to say and tell me what you think is. Incidentally,

    14
    00:01:51,520 –> 00:01:57,160
    I can’t really see you. I’ve only got your sign in stuff for what we were doing before,

    15
    00:01:57,160 –> 00:02:01,760
    but I guess that doesn’t matter. Alright, I’m going to minute. Oh, I need to stop this

    16
    00:02:01,760 –> 00:02:11,600
    share. That’s probably being shared live as well. Oh, dear, man. So stop sharing. Let’s

    17
    00:02:11,600 –> 00:02:21,400
    see that. Let’s see that. No, it’s not sharing actually. So I’m surprised. Yeah, it’s not.

    18
    00:02:21,400 –> 00:02:30,360
    Can you see me, Jerome? Yeah, I can see you at the very top. You’re half hidden, but my main

    19
    00:02:30,360 –> 00:02:36,840
    screen is signing to VK what you were doing before. I mean, if we can’t change it, don’t worry.

    20
    00:02:36,840 –> 00:02:46,920
    Alright, I’m going to close that. Oh, yeah. Um, signing to VK. Alright, so let me see. Let me see

    21
    00:02:46,920 –> 00:03:03,560
    how we can do that. Okay. It’s very well. It’s strange. Now, if I quit Safari, that’s

    22
    00:03:03,560 –> 00:03:11,880
    strange that you can see signing to VK. What can you see now? Oh, we got something else to do with it.

    23
    00:03:11,880 –> 00:03:22,600
    Okay, that’s strange. Because you’re not, we’re not even, it’s not even showing, I’m going to

    24
    00:03:27,160 –> 00:03:35,080
    exit for when. What about now? Can you still see signing VK? It’s a different page, but it’s still

    25
    00:03:35,080 –> 00:03:40,840
    down. It’s still to do with what we were looking at before. Wow, that’s strange. Okay. I’m

    26
    00:03:40,840 –> 00:03:53,400
    wondering. May just have to leave it. It’s strange. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So we’ll just carry on. Let’s see.

    27
    00:03:56,840 –> 00:04:03,160
    Okay, well, let’s just carry on then. And I’ll come back to the question I asked you. I asked you both.

    28
    00:04:03,160 –> 00:04:06,920
    Right. Does this sentence make sense? Is it a possible

    29
    00:04:06,920 –> 00:04:15,640
    sentence that does make sense? Everything I say is a liar. Can that be true? We’re talking about

    30
    00:04:15,640 –> 00:04:21,240
    truth as well here. Can that statement be true? Everything I say is a liar.

    31
    00:04:23,080 –> 00:04:31,400
    I think it’s, I think it’s, I think it’s true. I believe everything you say is a lie. So

    32
    00:04:31,400 –> 00:04:39,160
    there we go. Are you taking that question seriously?

    33
    00:04:39,160 –> 00:04:47,080
    Everything I say is a lie. What about you Jerome? Do you think that sentence? Does that sentence

    34
    00:04:47,080 –> 00:04:56,600
    make sense? It for me it doesn’t because it doesn’t for me doesn’t because there’s no way you would have

    35
    00:04:56,600 –> 00:05:04,760
    come to someone the wrong good morning cause and it’s definitely morning. So not everything,

    36
    00:05:04,760 –> 00:05:11,720
    there’s no way everything you would have said would be a lie. Yeah. Yeah. No. Let’s say comment.

    37
    00:05:11,720 –> 00:05:19,000
    That’s true. But the other thing about it is if how can I say this? If everything I say is a lie,

    38
    00:05:19,000 –> 00:05:28,600
    if that statement is true, then obviously it contradicts itself because the statement says

    39
    00:05:28,600 –> 00:05:36,840
    everything I say is a lie. Right. Now if that statement is not true, in other words,

    40
    00:05:36,840 –> 00:05:43,080
    everything I say is a lie is not true. And it also contradicts the statement. So it’s one of those

    41
    00:05:43,080 –> 00:05:50,520
    paradoxes which basically if it’s true, it’s false and if it’s false, it’s true. So it just doesn’t

    42
    00:05:50,520 –> 00:05:56,600
    work. Now there’s another very quite well known paradox called the crocodile paradox.

    43
    00:05:56,600 –> 00:06:04,040
    And I’d be interested in your views on this. Now there’s a crocodile at the zoo and there’s a

    44
    00:06:04,040 –> 00:06:12,120
    lady with her little boy. Now sadly the crocodile manages to grab the little boy and he has this

    45
    00:06:12,120 –> 00:06:18,920
    little boy sort of in its jaws but it’s a clever crocodile. We’re going to take a short break now,

    46
    00:06:18,920 –> 00:06:25,000
    we’re back shortly. You’ve been listening to the Alien Space Ship talk show with Trevor Gear
