the smoke radio for the masses of July 8

3
00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:42,059
1947 the Army Air Forces has announced

4
00:00:50,529 --> 00:00:44,460
that a flying disc has been found and is

5
00:00:58,010 --> 00:00:54,170
I occasionally think how quickly our

6
00:01:00,590 --> 00:00:58,020
differences worldwide would vanish if we

7
00:01:01,710 --> 00:01:00,600
were facing an alien threat from outside

8
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:01,720

that's right tonight

22
00:01:46,490 --> 00:01:42,000
we are going to discuss

23
00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:46,500
the meaning of life and I'm gonna pop up

24
00:01:52,190 --> 00:01:48,720
the chat and I'm gonna have that in

25
00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:52,200
front of me tonight and I'm gonna be

26
00:01:57,889 --> 00:01:56,159
very interested in your comments and if

27
00:02:02,389 --> 00:01:57,899
you want me to respond to something put

28
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:02,399
it in all caps the meaning of life

29
00:02:07,370 --> 00:02:05,520
all right we've all thought about it the

30
00:02:10,370 --> 00:02:07,380
meaning of life or you know the answer

31
00:02:13,130 --> 00:02:10,380
to the question what

32
00:02:16,910 --> 00:02:13,140
is the meaning of life some say it's

33
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:16,920
coffee I might I might I might tend to

34
00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:22,910
specifically River Moon coffee faded

35
00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:24,480
black blend butts

36
00:02:31,190 --> 00:02:26,879
the meaning of life it's been asked for

37
00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:31,200
centuries if not millennia

38
00:02:37,970 --> 00:02:35,340
it is the big one isn't it

39
00:02:42,190 --> 00:02:37,980
so many philosophers were going to get

40
00:02:45,650 --> 00:02:42,200
into this uh theology

41
00:02:50,509 --> 00:02:45,660
diplomats scientists

42
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,519
you know uh they're all going to give

43
00:02:55,009 --> 00:02:52,800
you their version of it

44
00:02:58,610 --> 00:02:55,019
um I'm gonna give you mine so don't you

45
00:03:02,750 --> 00:02:58,620
worry but I'm also going to give you my

46
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:02,760
road map as well and leading up to all

47
00:03:06,050 --> 00:03:04,800
of this when we think about the meaning

48
00:03:09,530 --> 00:03:06,060
of life

49
00:03:13,970 --> 00:03:09,540
we sit back and we contemplate we think

50
00:03:16,369 --> 00:03:13,980
about that right and my answer which

51
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:16,379
will be a little bit later

52
00:03:20,509 --> 00:03:18,959
because I'm going to set all of this up

53
00:03:24,410 --> 00:03:20,519
of course

54
00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:24,420
um I I think it's going to surprise you

55
00:03:29,390 --> 00:03:27,360
in all of my research and I've been

56
00:03:32,089 --> 00:03:29,400
trying to chase uh the meaning of life

57
00:03:37,330 --> 00:03:32,099
for a long time in all of my research

58
00:03:40,309 --> 00:03:37,340
you get these massive complicated

59
00:03:44,089 --> 00:03:40,319
statements about it and they're gnarly

60
00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:44,099
man something just like flew in my eye

61
00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:46,799
right there that's because

62
00:03:52,970 --> 00:03:50,879
they don't want me to disclose to you

63
00:03:55,250 --> 00:03:52,980
the meaning of life but we're gonna get

64
00:03:59,570 --> 00:03:55,260
there tonight

65
00:04:02,690 --> 00:03:59,580
so let's get started because

66
00:04:06,110 --> 00:04:02,700
I have stated many times on this show

67
00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:06,120
right that you know we have uh those

68
00:04:12,530 --> 00:04:09,120
three basic questions that have been

69
00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:12,540
asked since the dawn of man right why

70
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:14,879
are we here right

71
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:17,400
what happens after we die

72
00:04:24,409 --> 00:04:20,040
are we alone in the universe and there's

73
00:04:29,330 --> 00:04:26,930
what is the meaning of life what is it

74
00:04:31,730 --> 00:04:29,340
what's the meaning of life right what is

75
00:04:34,129 --> 00:04:31,740
life all about

76
00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:34,139
what is the purpose

77
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:36,240
of existence

78
00:04:40,670 --> 00:04:38,000
why are we here

79
00:04:42,969 --> 00:04:40,680
what is the meaning

80
00:04:45,409 --> 00:04:42,979
of life

81
00:04:47,689 --> 00:04:45,419
and not only have there been so many

82
00:04:49,969 --> 00:04:47,699
answers and they're they're so varied

83
00:04:53,570 --> 00:04:49,979
and uh I'm gonna go through a long list

84
00:04:55,370 --> 00:04:53,580
of uh stuff tonight to make us all think

85
00:05:00,050 --> 00:04:55,380
to make us all think

86
00:05:03,110 --> 00:05:00,060
but the the answers

87
00:05:04,909 --> 00:05:03,120
have been from so many different

88
00:05:06,890 --> 00:05:04,919
individuals

89
00:05:10,010 --> 00:05:06,900
um you have the ancient Greek

90
00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:10,020
philosophers he even had the ancient

91
00:05:17,450 --> 00:05:12,840
Egyptians chiming in on this and of

92
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:17,460
course uh throughout Asia and and you

93
00:05:24,830 --> 00:05:21,600
know Persia uh certainly here in North

94
00:05:29,029 --> 00:05:24,840
America Central America South America

95
00:05:32,210 --> 00:05:29,039
and you've got a whole variety

96
00:05:34,990 --> 00:05:32,220
of philosophical

97
00:05:36,890 --> 00:05:35,000
we're going to get into that scientific

98
00:05:39,170 --> 00:05:36,900
oh yeah

99
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:39,180
we're gonna get into that too

100
00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:42,120
talk me some Dawkins tonight man I would

101
00:05:47,810 --> 00:05:45,960
love to sit down and and and have a chat

102
00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:47,820
with Richard Dawkins one day and opened

103
00:05:51,650 --> 00:05:48,900
his eyes

104
00:05:53,810 --> 00:05:51,660
but you have the theological side of it

105
00:05:56,749 --> 00:05:53,820
right are the Ten Commandments the

106
00:05:58,730 --> 00:05:56,759
meanings of life no not even close

107
00:06:02,029 --> 00:05:58,740
not even close

108
00:06:04,310 --> 00:06:02,039
and you have the metaphysical side

109
00:06:06,590 --> 00:06:04,320
and you have all of that speculation

110
00:06:10,310 --> 00:06:06,600
that you can handle

111
00:06:13,070 --> 00:06:10,320
all right and then there is

112
00:06:15,230 --> 00:06:13,080
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

113
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:15,240
that's right

114
00:06:19,790 --> 00:06:17,280
I'm not going to talk about Monty Python

115
00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:19,800
tonight and they're great film the

116
00:06:24,010 --> 00:06:21,840
meaning of life I'm gonna leave that one

117
00:06:25,969 --> 00:06:24,020
alone but I am going to talk about

118
00:06:31,490 --> 00:06:25,979
42.

119
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:31,500
42 and when that came up uh way before

120
00:06:34,490 --> 00:06:33,120
the movie I'm talking about the book and

121
00:06:38,510 --> 00:06:34,500
I'm reading the book

122
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:38,520
friend of mine Sean matros Sean if you

123
00:06:43,909 --> 00:06:42,120
ever listen to one of these shows uh

124
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:43,919
you've got to reach out to me Sean

125
00:06:48,409 --> 00:06:44,880
mattress

126
00:06:52,430 --> 00:06:48,419
and it was in 10th Grade so I'm a

127
00:06:55,490 --> 00:06:52,440
sophomore I'm in high school and we took

128
00:06:57,529 --> 00:06:55,500
uh journalism together yeah yeah I took

129
00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:57,539
journalism and I wrote for the school

130
00:07:04,670 --> 00:07:00,080
paper I didn't use a column

131
00:07:06,969 --> 00:07:04,680
and Sean one day I'm kind of looking

132
00:07:09,770 --> 00:07:06,979
over her shoulder and he's

133
00:07:11,510 --> 00:07:09,780
very focused on this book I said man you

134
00:07:13,969 --> 00:07:11,520
know what you got there oh it's The

135
00:07:15,770 --> 00:07:13,979
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Man by

136
00:07:19,010 --> 00:07:15,780
by Doug Adams

137
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:19,020
just the title I'm like I'm in

138
00:07:23,990 --> 00:07:21,360
he closes the book he's like I've read

139
00:07:25,969 --> 00:07:24,000
it 10 times man here you go and he hands

140
00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:25,979
it to me and I so

141
00:07:31,450 --> 00:07:27,360
you know what I'm going through and I

142
00:07:35,689 --> 00:07:31,460
get to 42 and that caught my attention

143
00:07:39,469 --> 00:07:35,699
42 is the answer to the ultimate

144
00:07:41,029 --> 00:07:39,479
question of life the universe and

145
00:07:43,969 --> 00:07:41,039
everything

146
00:07:45,950 --> 00:07:43,979
and I'm reading the line in the book I'm

147
00:07:48,409 --> 00:07:45,960
like okay here we go

148
00:07:51,770 --> 00:07:48,419
I'm gonna get the secret to life in a

149
00:07:57,010 --> 00:07:55,309
it was computed the number 42 by deep

150
00:07:59,689 --> 00:07:57,020
thought

151
00:08:03,230 --> 00:07:59,699
according to Doug Adams the second

152
00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:05,450
the descendants of Deep Thoughts

153
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:09,120
creators are upset by the numeric nature

154
00:08:14,450 --> 00:08:12,000
of the answer in the book and not

155
00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:14,460
understanding what to do with it or or

156
00:08:19,850 --> 00:08:16,560
what to tell the people

157
00:08:22,010 --> 00:08:19,860
who are waiting right there's hundreds

158
00:08:24,650 --> 00:08:22,020
of thousands of people gathered for this

159
00:08:26,629 --> 00:08:24,660
answer and they get 42 everybody's

160
00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:26,639
perplexed everybody doesn't know what's

161
00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:28,319
really going on

162
00:08:38,029 --> 00:08:36,350
um the people had commissioned if you

163
00:08:40,510 --> 00:08:38,039
read the book

164
00:08:44,029 --> 00:08:40,520
the 7.5

165
00:08:46,730 --> 00:08:44,039
million year project that it took to

166
00:08:48,949 --> 00:08:46,740
compute the number 42 when everybody's

167
00:08:51,170 --> 00:08:48,959
waiting and you get it and and me

168
00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:51,180
reading the book that's what I got to as

169
00:08:56,090 --> 00:08:53,760
well the number 42 and a lot has been

170
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:56,100
put into this over the years the number

171
00:08:59,690 --> 00:08:58,560
42. you know did Doug just pull that

172
00:09:03,170 --> 00:08:59,700
number out of the air was there

173
00:09:05,210 --> 00:09:03,180
something more meaningful to it

174
00:09:07,430 --> 00:09:05,220
um I don't know if we'll ever know but

175
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:07,440
when asked to answer the ultimate

176
00:09:14,570 --> 00:09:10,260
question deep thought admits in the book

177
00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:14,580
that it is not capable of computing that

178
00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:15,839
itself

179
00:09:23,050 --> 00:09:18,360
but that it can help to design an even

180
00:09:27,889 --> 00:09:25,550
this new computer will incorporate

181
00:09:29,389 --> 00:09:27,899
living beings into the computational

182
00:09:32,990 --> 00:09:29,399
Matrix

183
00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:33,000
and will run for 10 million years

184
00:09:37,730 --> 00:09:34,980
it is

185
00:09:40,730 --> 00:09:37,740
planet Earth

186
00:09:42,530 --> 00:09:40,740
the number 42 the number 42 and did you

187
00:09:47,150 --> 00:09:42,540
ever

188
00:09:49,250 --> 00:09:47,160
you think about that enough the number

189
00:09:51,710 --> 00:09:49,260
42 did you put something into it was

190
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:51,720
Doug just playing with this right you

191
00:09:55,490 --> 00:09:53,519
put something like that in a book it's

192
00:09:59,509 --> 00:09:55,500
the meaning of life the ultimate answer

193
00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:59,519
to everything and life right and you put

194
00:10:03,230 --> 00:10:00,959
that in the book and then you throw out

195
00:10:05,630 --> 00:10:03,240
number 42 is he just giggling in the

196
00:10:07,670 --> 00:10:05,640
background it's gonna mess with

197
00:10:08,509 --> 00:10:07,680
everybody let's see what they come up

198
00:10:10,730 --> 00:10:08,519
with

199
00:10:14,329 --> 00:10:10,740
you know that may be it

200
00:10:17,389 --> 00:10:14,339
but it also started the conversation and

201
00:10:19,310 --> 00:10:17,399
myself and my friends we would sit

202
00:10:22,190 --> 00:10:19,320
around and talk about the number 42 and

203
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:22,200
the meaning of life and throw in a

204
00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:24,300
little Monty Python uh to boot because

205
00:10:29,090 --> 00:10:27,720
we all wonder about it

206
00:10:31,550 --> 00:10:29,100
so

207
00:10:33,530 --> 00:10:31,560
the meaning of life

208
00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:33,540
can come from a lot of different

209
00:10:37,550 --> 00:10:35,760
directions

210
00:10:41,389 --> 00:10:37,560
um from philosophical and religious

211
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:41,399
thoughts you've got uh which gets so

212
00:10:46,250 --> 00:10:42,480
complex

213
00:10:48,470 --> 00:10:46,260
if we really get into uh the

214
00:10:50,509 --> 00:10:48,480
philosophical which we will

215
00:10:52,569 --> 00:10:50,519
and the religious side and I'm going to

216
00:10:55,009 --> 00:10:52,579
get into that just a little bit tonight

217
00:10:58,069 --> 00:10:55,019
because it does apply and it's certainly

218
00:11:01,250 --> 00:10:58,079
God applies uh to this and the meaning

219
00:11:03,410 --> 00:11:01,260
of life is God the meaning of life and

220
00:11:05,030 --> 00:11:03,420
the Bible specifically talks about that

221
00:11:08,329 --> 00:11:05,040
and we'll jump into that just a little

222
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:08,339
bit but the scientific side of it I've

223
00:11:11,389 --> 00:11:10,380
always found really interesting to

224
00:11:15,470 --> 00:11:11,399
myself

225
00:11:19,009 --> 00:11:15,480
and if you are a religious leader

226
00:11:23,329 --> 00:11:19,019
if you are a philosopher if you are a

227
00:11:25,009 --> 00:11:23,339
scientist you need followers

228
00:11:26,389 --> 00:11:25,019
you be the greatest scientist in the

229
00:11:29,509 --> 00:11:26,399
world but if nobody's paying any

230
00:11:31,069 --> 00:11:29,519
attention to you what does it matter is

231
00:11:33,889 --> 00:11:31,079
that the meaning of life

232
00:11:36,290 --> 00:11:33,899
right getting attention is that the

233
00:11:38,569 --> 00:11:36,300
meaning of life we'll get into that too

234
00:11:41,870 --> 00:11:38,579
as well but if you're a scientist and

235
00:11:44,889 --> 00:11:41,880
you've got the most fantastic ideas and

236
00:11:48,110 --> 00:11:44,899
theories and maybe algorithms and maybe

237
00:11:51,550 --> 00:11:48,120
chemistry answers and nobody's paying

238
00:11:55,430 --> 00:11:51,560
attention to you well you need followers

239
00:11:57,350 --> 00:11:55,440
and so the scientific side of it is just

240
00:11:59,329 --> 00:11:57,360
as important as the philosophical and

241
00:12:01,910 --> 00:11:59,339
religious because

242
00:12:04,069 --> 00:12:01,920
if you are a philosopher and you don't

243
00:12:05,449 --> 00:12:04,079
have followers nobody's going to hear

244
00:12:06,590 --> 00:12:05,459
what you have to say

245
00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:06,600
all right nobody's going to pay

246
00:12:13,130 --> 00:12:10,079
attention and if you keep it simple

247
00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:13,140
you lose their interest you've got to

248
00:12:16,610 --> 00:12:15,120
dangle a carrot out there you've got to

249
00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:16,620
keep the carrot out there and the

250
00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:17,880
carrots just got to be a little bit

251
00:12:23,269 --> 00:12:20,040
farther and a little bit farther that's

252
00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:23,279
why the most difficult question in the

253
00:12:26,930 --> 00:12:25,680
world which is what is the meaning of

254
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:26,940
life

255
00:12:33,889 --> 00:12:30,060
has to be complex it can't be simple

256
00:12:34,610 --> 00:12:33,899
it can't be one word or can it no it

257
00:12:37,269 --> 00:12:34,620
can't

258
00:12:40,670 --> 00:12:37,279
you've got to have some deep

259
00:12:44,269 --> 00:12:40,680
philosophical multi-faceted

260
00:12:47,569 --> 00:12:44,279
just complex list of things and everyone

261
00:12:50,030 --> 00:12:47,579
has a sub category and a subcategory and

262
00:12:52,970 --> 00:12:50,040
then you have to sit and discuss this

263
00:12:55,790 --> 00:12:52,980
forever with your followers and they

264
00:12:58,129 --> 00:12:55,800
never get the answer

265
00:13:00,470 --> 00:12:58,139
that's what they want

266
00:13:03,170 --> 00:13:00,480
if they just gave you a one word well

267
00:13:05,690 --> 00:13:03,180
the meaning of life is 42 then that's it

268
00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:05,700
your philosophy sessions are over aren't

269
00:13:10,610 --> 00:13:08,000
they it's the same thing with religion

270
00:13:12,769 --> 00:13:10,620
you've got to keep the carrot dangling

271
00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:12,779
out there you've got to keep it complex

272
00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:14,880
you've got to have one more Challenge

273
00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:16,980
and one more Challenge and under those

274
00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:20,160
challenges those sub challenges and

275
00:13:23,569 --> 00:13:22,320
every you've got to meet all of this

276
00:13:26,810 --> 00:13:23,579
criteria

277
00:13:29,210 --> 00:13:26,820
to get to a meaningful life

278
00:13:31,009 --> 00:13:29,220
it's the same thing with science

279
00:13:33,710 --> 00:13:31,019
scientific theories about existence

280
00:13:35,150 --> 00:13:33,720
usually focus on absolute facts of the

281
00:13:38,990 --> 00:13:35,160
universe

282
00:13:41,329 --> 00:13:39,000
that's right the chemistry about

283
00:13:42,710 --> 00:13:41,339
how life is

284
00:13:44,810 --> 00:13:42,720
right

285
00:13:46,850 --> 00:13:44,820
and that's what science says they just

286
00:13:48,650 --> 00:13:46,860
wanted black and white science and the

287
00:13:50,930 --> 00:13:48,660
big brain types that are out there

288
00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:50,940
Richard Dawkins uh you know the big

289
00:13:55,129 --> 00:13:53,760
brain types that are out there usually

290
00:13:57,470 --> 00:13:55,139
say

291
00:14:01,069 --> 00:13:57,480
that they have the answers for the

292
00:14:03,470 --> 00:14:01,079
pursuit of well-being and morality that

293
00:14:05,509 --> 00:14:03,480
it's all numbers based and it's all

294
00:14:07,610 --> 00:14:05,519
chemistry based and that's it and

295
00:14:11,569 --> 00:14:07,620
there's nothing else there and if you

296
00:14:14,329 --> 00:14:11,579
add here to the scientific method you

297
00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:14,339
will get the answer to the meaning of

298
00:14:22,730 --> 00:14:19,430
yeah

299
00:14:25,730 --> 00:14:22,740
think about it I've got examples

300
00:14:27,470 --> 00:14:25,740
you have social status is social status

301
00:14:29,690 --> 00:14:27,480
the meaning of life that's something I'm

302
00:14:32,449 --> 00:14:29,700
going to talk about a lot tonight is

303
00:14:36,769 --> 00:14:32,459
social status the meaning of life

304
00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:36,779
yeah yeah the the the meaning of life is

305
00:14:40,970 --> 00:14:39,120
a four-car garage of the swimming pool

306
00:14:44,590 --> 00:14:40,980
in the backyard

307
00:14:48,110 --> 00:14:44,600
do you know how much of this planet

308
00:14:51,410 --> 00:14:48,120
bases the meaning of life around that

309
00:14:54,769 --> 00:14:51,420
where you are taught from a very young

310
00:14:55,850 --> 00:14:54,779
age and it's drilled into you from your

311
00:14:56,990 --> 00:14:55,860
parents

312
00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:57,000
right

313
00:15:03,170 --> 00:15:00,240
you've you've got to go to school

314
00:15:05,329 --> 00:15:03,180
you've got to get good grades and then

315
00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:05,339
you will advance

316
00:15:09,170 --> 00:15:06,959
that's not enough

317
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:09,180
right so then you get you get into

318
00:15:12,889 --> 00:15:10,920
junior high school and you get better

319
00:15:15,829 --> 00:15:12,899
grades and your goal is to get into

320
00:15:19,009 --> 00:15:15,839
college and to get better grades and and

321
00:15:20,210 --> 00:15:19,019
get a great education because after you

322
00:15:24,110 --> 00:15:20,220
graduate

323
00:15:26,090 --> 00:15:24,120
oh it's not over then you get a job and

324
00:15:29,210 --> 00:15:26,100
then you go to work

325
00:15:31,090 --> 00:15:29,220
then you get promotions and then you

326
00:15:34,850 --> 00:15:31,100
will get out of your rented apartment

327
00:15:37,970 --> 00:15:34,860
and you will buy your first house

328
00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:37,980
right your one bedroom house

329
00:15:42,530 --> 00:15:40,320
with no garage

330
00:15:44,990 --> 00:15:42,540
but you work hard

331
00:15:47,090 --> 00:15:45,000
because the meaning of life

332
00:15:48,769 --> 00:15:47,100
is to get to a two-bedroom house and you

333
00:15:51,889 --> 00:15:48,779
get to the two-bedroom house and you get

334
00:15:53,629 --> 00:15:51,899
the promotion that's not enough that's

335
00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:53,639
not the meaning of life the meaning of

336
00:16:00,110 --> 00:15:56,639
life is a four-car garage in a swimming

337
00:16:03,710 --> 00:16:00,120
pool you know three and a half kids

338
00:16:06,230 --> 00:16:03,720
a great IRA and retirement fund and then

339
00:16:08,990 --> 00:16:06,240
you grow up and you go through all of

340
00:16:10,910 --> 00:16:09,000
that and mess and you work your butt off

341
00:16:13,930 --> 00:16:10,920
and you're not thinking about anything

342
00:16:17,569 --> 00:16:13,940
else but that four bedroom

343
00:16:21,290 --> 00:16:17,579
four car garage

344
00:16:23,329 --> 00:16:21,300
swimming pool tennis court Country Club

345
00:16:26,569 --> 00:16:23,339
and when you get there you're going to

346
00:16:29,090 --> 00:16:26,579
have the answers to the meaning of life

347
00:16:31,610 --> 00:16:29,100
you're going to get the house you're

348
00:16:35,329 --> 00:16:31,620
going to retire and you're going to

349
00:16:37,790 --> 00:16:35,339
stand around in the Twilight of your

350
00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:37,800
years and go

351
00:16:42,590 --> 00:16:39,600
what's the answer

352
00:16:44,629 --> 00:16:42,600
I thought once I got here I would have

353
00:16:47,930 --> 00:16:44,639
the meaning of life

354
00:16:49,970 --> 00:16:47,940
this is all that life is about it's just

355
00:16:52,730 --> 00:16:49,980
to get to this point and then it's just

356
00:16:57,410 --> 00:16:52,740
over you missed it

357
00:17:00,710 --> 00:16:57,420
you missed it the social status side of

358
00:17:04,250 --> 00:17:00,720
this is something that is ingrained from

359
00:17:07,490 --> 00:17:04,260
birth and you get it from TV commercials

360
00:17:09,770 --> 00:17:07,500
right and you want to wear the clothes

361
00:17:11,929 --> 00:17:09,780
that everybody else is wearing in school

362
00:17:15,049 --> 00:17:11,939
you want to have the same backpack in

363
00:17:17,210 --> 00:17:15,059
the same pair of Air Jordans you know

364
00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:17,220
you just wanted that social status so

365
00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:18,720
you want to be accepted you want to be

366
00:17:23,689 --> 00:17:21,360
in groups that that is the meaning of

367
00:17:27,409 --> 00:17:23,699
life and you go through that once you

368
00:17:29,570 --> 00:17:27,419
are fixated and and you are taught this

369
00:17:32,510 --> 00:17:29,580
not only from the educational system and

370
00:17:35,210 --> 00:17:32,520
from your parents but because it is so

371
00:17:37,909 --> 00:17:35,220
ingrained and you're so focused on it

372
00:17:41,890 --> 00:17:37,919
that if somebody else suggests something

373
00:17:44,990 --> 00:17:41,900
to you that the meaning of life is this

374
00:17:49,010 --> 00:17:45,000
it absolutely cements

375
00:17:51,890 --> 00:17:49,020
your philosophy it it cements what you

376
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:51,900
were taught no no no no no no no and it

377
00:17:59,570 --> 00:17:55,200
makes your world view more narrow and

378
00:18:03,950 --> 00:17:59,580
stronger you are just focused on a new

379
00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:03,960
handbag you're just focused on a new car

380
00:18:10,549 --> 00:18:07,200
you're just focused on a promotion

381
00:18:13,310 --> 00:18:10,559
and that four-car garage with a swimming

382
00:18:16,810 --> 00:18:13,320
pool in the back social status social

383
00:18:19,310 --> 00:18:16,820
media right and think about right now

384
00:18:22,909 --> 00:18:19,320
right now in China

385
00:18:27,110 --> 00:18:22,919
the meaning of life is to get

386
00:18:28,669 --> 00:18:27,120
a good grade on your cell phone

387
00:18:31,130 --> 00:18:28,679
so you can get into better restaurants

388
00:18:34,370 --> 00:18:31,140
maybe even get a ride on the train home

389
00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:34,380
after work all of those things that is

390
00:18:39,409 --> 00:18:37,260
social status and for so many today

391
00:18:42,110 --> 00:18:39,419
we're talking about a billion people in

392
00:18:43,909 --> 00:18:42,120
China social status is the meaning of

393
00:18:46,430 --> 00:18:43,919
life

394
00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:46,440
yeah it's crazy

395
00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:48,960
and we have Consciousness that comes

396
00:18:54,409 --> 00:18:51,600
into play a lot

397
00:18:56,210 --> 00:18:54,419
and yeah this is a big subject there's

398
00:18:58,850 --> 00:18:56,220
no doubt about that

399
00:19:01,370 --> 00:18:58,860
but understanding consciousness

400
00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:01,380
is not the meaning of life

401
00:19:07,190 --> 00:19:04,559
no no it is not

402
00:19:08,570 --> 00:19:07,200
when I when I do the big reveal in a

403
00:19:10,970 --> 00:19:08,580
little bit

404
00:19:13,549 --> 00:19:10,980
um you'll you'll agree with me now

405
00:19:17,450 --> 00:19:13,559
Consciousness great question

406
00:19:19,610 --> 00:19:17,460
it's a great question and I I try to ask

407
00:19:20,930 --> 00:19:19,620
every single guest

408
00:19:26,270 --> 00:19:20,940
what

409
00:19:28,490 --> 00:19:26,280
and there are lots of uh fundamental

410
00:19:30,409 --> 00:19:28,500
questions very basic questions that we

411
00:19:32,570 --> 00:19:30,419
need the answers to and and certainly

412
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:32,580
Consciousness is right there but

413
00:19:37,730 --> 00:19:34,559
understanding Consciousness and somebody

414
00:19:40,370 --> 00:19:37,740
like I'll I'll say it I'll I'll just go

415
00:19:43,610 --> 00:19:40,380
right there the Dalai Lama discussing

416
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:43,620
Consciousness with you and and what that

417
00:19:50,029 --> 00:19:46,320
is and morals is that the meaning of

418
00:19:52,190 --> 00:19:50,039
life no it it's not it's not even close

419
00:19:54,830 --> 00:19:52,200
actually

420
00:20:08,990 --> 00:19:54,840
happiness

421
00:20:11,029 --> 00:20:09,000
rectangle but a rectangle is not a

422
00:20:14,950 --> 00:20:11,039
square thing when it comes to the

423
00:20:19,909 --> 00:20:14,960
meaning of life so let me explain

424
00:20:22,370 --> 00:20:19,919
happiness comes from understanding

425
00:20:24,770 --> 00:20:22,380
what the meaning of life is

426
00:20:26,090 --> 00:20:24,780
it's not the other way around

427
00:20:28,130 --> 00:20:26,100
all right

428
00:20:31,610 --> 00:20:28,140
well sort of

429
00:20:33,830 --> 00:20:31,620
it's complex happiness is is a complex

430
00:20:34,669 --> 00:20:33,840
situation when we discuss the meaning of

431
00:20:37,990 --> 00:20:34,679
life

432
00:20:42,890 --> 00:20:38,000
all right what makes you happy

433
00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:42,900
is that the meaning of life maybe but it

434
00:20:48,890 --> 00:20:47,520
depends on what your answer is

435
00:20:50,510 --> 00:20:48,900
because I'm going to tell you what the

436
00:20:52,610 --> 00:20:50,520
meaning of life is

437
00:20:55,010 --> 00:20:52,620
and and when I tell you you can go back

438
00:20:56,690 --> 00:20:55,020
and go oh happiness so that's what he

439
00:20:59,510 --> 00:20:56,700
was talking about the square rectangle

440
00:21:01,490 --> 00:20:59,520
rectangle square oh okay that makes a

441
00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:01,500
lot of sense

442
00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:04,640
so happiness is not the meaning of life

443
00:21:12,289 --> 00:21:10,080
Bliss is not the meaning of life I've

444
00:21:15,650 --> 00:21:12,299
come close to saying that many many many

445
00:21:19,330 --> 00:21:15,660
many many times find your bliss you're

446
00:21:23,630 --> 00:21:19,340
happy right and and the reason for that

447
00:21:26,330 --> 00:21:23,640
is so many so many of you

448
00:21:28,549 --> 00:21:26,340
keep that Bliss bottled up you've put

449
00:21:31,070 --> 00:21:28,559
that thing whatever that Bliss is that

450
00:21:33,350 --> 00:21:31,080
thing that'll make you happy and it's

451
00:21:35,630 --> 00:21:33,360
difficult maybe it's even embarrassing

452
00:21:38,210 --> 00:21:35,640
to you you put it in a box you put it on

453
00:21:40,610 --> 00:21:38,220
the shelf and it just sits there and it

454
00:21:43,250 --> 00:21:40,620
simmers and and you look at that box

455
00:21:46,850 --> 00:21:43,260
you're like man one day I'm gonna do

456
00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:46,860
that one day and you wait for the break

457
00:21:51,049 --> 00:21:49,440
you wait for the timing of it and it

458
00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:51,059
just sits there on the shelf and years

459
00:21:56,090 --> 00:21:53,280
go by you don't want to be that guy

460
00:21:59,149 --> 00:21:56,100
standing in your driveway that that girl

461
00:22:02,450 --> 00:21:59,159
standing in your driveway again at your

462
00:22:04,909 --> 00:22:02,460
Twilight years and walk through your big

463
00:22:06,289 --> 00:22:04,919
house you know and your happiness and

464
00:22:07,730 --> 00:22:06,299
you look up on the shelf and see that

465
00:22:10,070 --> 00:22:07,740
box sitting there and you're like that I

466
00:22:13,850 --> 00:22:10,080
should have did that I don't have the

467
00:22:16,490 --> 00:22:13,860
time to do it now oh man you don't want

468
00:22:18,890 --> 00:22:16,500
to be that person so always pursue

469
00:22:20,570 --> 00:22:18,900
happiness always pursue your bliss it

470
00:22:22,870 --> 00:22:20,580
doesn't matter what it is

471
00:22:25,909 --> 00:22:22,880
the

472
00:22:26,810 --> 00:22:25,919
frustration that so many of us go

473
00:22:28,149 --> 00:22:26,820
through

474
00:22:31,510 --> 00:22:28,159
of of

475
00:22:34,970 --> 00:22:31,520
raising kids right going to school

476
00:22:36,289 --> 00:22:34,980
having a job doing your thing hanging

477
00:22:40,190 --> 00:22:36,299
out with friends and everything and and

478
00:22:43,190 --> 00:22:40,200
it's life is tough we we all get that

479
00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:43,200
it's not easy it's it's simply not but

480
00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:48,240
if you if you are frustrated and you

481
00:22:54,830 --> 00:22:51,360
feel that emptiness

482
00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:54,840
because you know what that Bliss is

483
00:23:01,909 --> 00:22:59,280
until you go and open up that box and

484
00:23:03,830 --> 00:23:01,919
and take a run at the Bliss

485
00:23:06,890 --> 00:23:03,840
you'll never be happy

486
00:23:08,930 --> 00:23:06,900
you won't you will always and I feel for

487
00:23:12,049 --> 00:23:08,940
people that

488
00:23:14,570 --> 00:23:12,059
um are frustrated at life whatever it is

489
00:23:16,850 --> 00:23:14,580
it it just doesn't matter you may love

490
00:23:20,450 --> 00:23:16,860
your job but you're not if you haven't

491
00:23:24,529 --> 00:23:20,460
found your bliss you don't love life

492
00:23:27,529 --> 00:23:24,539
right so for those out there that just

493
00:23:30,230 --> 00:23:27,539
don't do it I I know I know what it

494
00:23:35,029 --> 00:23:30,240
feels like inside I've changed my Bliss

495
00:23:37,250 --> 00:23:35,039
I found my Bliss today I'm a happy guy

496
00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:37,260
I'm a happy guy I'm happy

497
00:23:41,990 --> 00:23:39,120
I'm happy

498
00:23:47,990 --> 00:23:42,000
find your bliss but bliss

499
00:23:53,330 --> 00:23:51,470
coffee might be though coffee coffee

500
00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:53,340
might be

501
00:24:00,070 --> 00:23:55,919
the meaning of life

502
00:24:02,210 --> 00:24:00,080
one one step above Mexican Coke

503
00:24:03,830 --> 00:24:02,220
but it depends on your answer with

504
00:24:07,250 --> 00:24:03,840
happiness and Bliss

505
00:24:10,549 --> 00:24:07,260
depends on what your answer is all right

506
00:24:12,289 --> 00:24:10,559
I'll explain in a little bit but there's

507
00:24:13,789 --> 00:24:12,299
other issues involved

508
00:24:17,570 --> 00:24:13,799
you have

509
00:24:20,149 --> 00:24:17,580
um when the complex things that start to

510
00:24:22,270 --> 00:24:20,159
pop up like like

511
00:24:28,130 --> 00:24:22,280
um ontology

512
00:24:31,370 --> 00:24:28,140
and the which if if you if you read

513
00:24:34,370 --> 00:24:31,380
the ontology Creed right what what it

514
00:24:36,289 --> 00:24:34,380
sounds like and and you jump into that a

515
00:24:37,570 --> 00:24:36,299
little bit like I have

516
00:24:41,870 --> 00:24:37,580
ontology

517
00:24:43,490 --> 00:24:41,880
just overall overall is the science of

518
00:24:53,510 --> 00:24:43,500
being

519
00:24:55,970 --> 00:24:53,520
and at first it sounds pretty good

520
00:25:00,590 --> 00:24:55,980
pretty credible

521
00:25:01,490 --> 00:25:00,600
but ontology itself once you jump into

522
00:25:06,529 --> 00:25:01,500
it

523
00:25:12,470 --> 00:25:09,950
and I would say I don't want to any

524
00:25:14,930 --> 00:25:12,480
ontologist out there

525
00:25:17,270 --> 00:25:14,940
I'm not here to offend anybody you do

526
00:25:18,830 --> 00:25:17,280
your own thing but but it's pretty

527
00:25:21,049 --> 00:25:18,840
self-centered

528
00:25:24,590 --> 00:25:21,059
and I don't think that there's a whole

529
00:25:28,730 --> 00:25:24,600
lot of focus on others uh as well which

530
00:25:31,010 --> 00:25:28,740
when I get to my my meaning of life

531
00:25:32,769 --> 00:25:31,020
um ontology is right out it's done it's

532
00:25:34,610 --> 00:25:32,779
over it's off

533
00:25:37,789 --> 00:25:34,620
purpose

534
00:25:40,370 --> 00:25:37,799
this is a strong one

535
00:25:42,830 --> 00:25:40,380
strong one kind of like Bliss

536
00:25:46,190 --> 00:25:42,840
just got a little happiness sprinkled on

537
00:25:48,769 --> 00:25:46,200
top of it and purpose for many and I am

538
00:25:50,149 --> 00:25:48,779
talking about uh philosophers even

539
00:25:53,450 --> 00:25:50,159
scientists

540
00:25:57,049 --> 00:25:53,460
um in some cases religion

541
00:25:59,690 --> 00:25:57,059
um for many purpose to have a purpose

542
00:26:00,890 --> 00:25:59,700
the meaning of life is is to have a

543
00:26:02,630 --> 00:26:00,900
reason

544
00:26:04,130 --> 00:26:02,640
or purpose

545
00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:04,140
in life

546
00:26:07,930 --> 00:26:06,720
but that's not the meaning of life

547
00:26:12,350 --> 00:26:07,940
right

548
00:26:14,029 --> 00:26:12,360
you can uh you want to be

549
00:26:16,010 --> 00:26:14,039
you want to cure cancer in children

550
00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:16,020
right and that's your that's your that's

551
00:26:21,769 --> 00:26:18,320
your life and you spend your life doing

552
00:26:23,750 --> 00:26:21,779
fantastic great purpose great reason to

553
00:26:26,029 --> 00:26:23,760
be on this planet it's not the meaning

554
00:26:27,769 --> 00:26:26,039
to life though

555
00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:27,779
it's not even close

556
00:26:32,930 --> 00:26:31,440
right if your purpose in life that makes

557
00:26:36,730 --> 00:26:32,940
you happy

558
00:26:40,370 --> 00:26:36,740
is and I love this is making shoes

559
00:26:43,450 --> 00:26:40,380
really nice shoes really comfortable

560
00:26:46,370 --> 00:26:43,460
shoes bespoke shoes custom made shoes

561
00:26:48,890 --> 00:26:46,380
shoes that make people smile they put

562
00:26:51,830 --> 00:26:48,900
them on they're like man I have never

563
00:26:54,169 --> 00:26:51,840
had Happy Feet I am never taking these

564
00:26:57,110 --> 00:26:54,179
shoes off thank you

565
00:26:58,970 --> 00:26:57,120
that's great that's fantastic that's

566
00:26:59,930 --> 00:26:58,980
awesome it's not the meaning of life

567
00:27:02,149 --> 00:26:59,940
though

568
00:27:03,970 --> 00:27:02,159
it's not even close

569
00:27:05,810 --> 00:27:03,980
and

570
00:27:08,149 --> 00:27:05,820
to

571
00:27:10,730 --> 00:27:08,159
have purpose

572
00:27:13,310 --> 00:27:10,740
be your answer whether you're a

573
00:27:14,930 --> 00:27:13,320
philosopher you're a scientist whatever

574
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:14,940
it is

575
00:27:21,950 --> 00:27:18,960
right Theologian if if if you use

576
00:27:26,269 --> 00:27:21,960
purpose and so many do

577
00:27:28,029 --> 00:27:26,279
you are jumping into so many complex

578
00:27:31,430 --> 00:27:28,039
situations

579
00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:31,440
that you're going to lay this out for

580
00:27:36,049 --> 00:27:33,360
for everybody and you know there's going

581
00:27:38,450 --> 00:27:36,059
to be a test later on purpose so this is

582
00:27:40,549 --> 00:27:38,460
what the and they've got to keep coming

583
00:27:43,250 --> 00:27:40,559
back and coming back and coming back and

584
00:27:45,049 --> 00:27:43,260
coming back and feeding the

585
00:27:47,870 --> 00:27:45,059
Philosopher's ego

586
00:27:51,230 --> 00:27:47,880
feeding the scientists ego

587
00:27:53,810 --> 00:27:51,240
feeding some religious Scholars ego and

588
00:27:55,310 --> 00:27:53,820
feeding the Bible's ego right the

589
00:28:04,909 --> 00:27:55,320
purpose

590
00:28:09,049 --> 00:28:04,919
obnoxious and make people think that's

591
00:28:10,550 --> 00:28:09,059
my purpose that's my job right it's a

592
00:28:13,490 --> 00:28:10,560
reason for being

593
00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:13,500
[Laughter]

594
00:28:20,210 --> 00:28:17,039
but it's not the meaning of life

595
00:28:26,630 --> 00:28:20,220
Paul Wong

596
00:28:28,610 --> 00:28:26,640
I don't know exactly what he is like a

597
00:28:31,130 --> 00:28:28,620
psychologist he's a Canadian

598
00:28:32,930 --> 00:28:31,140
psychologist Asian

599
00:28:36,669 --> 00:28:32,940
um and

600
00:28:44,710 --> 00:28:39,970
defines personal meaning

601
00:28:51,350 --> 00:28:46,549
coherence

602
00:28:58,549 --> 00:28:54,890
the pursuit and entertainment of

603
00:29:02,710 --> 00:28:58,559
worthwhile goals right purpose

604
00:29:05,330 --> 00:29:02,720
right and accompanying sense of

605
00:29:08,149 --> 00:29:05,340
fulfillment that you get from having a

606
00:29:11,269 --> 00:29:08,159
purpose and a reason

607
00:29:13,310 --> 00:29:11,279
right and and he has got I it's to me

608
00:29:17,450 --> 00:29:13,320
it's just like what a load of crap

609
00:29:20,090 --> 00:29:17,460
you know he's just trying to sound smart

610
00:29:23,690 --> 00:29:20,100
Paul Wong

611
00:29:27,289 --> 00:29:23,700
is wrong I said it

612
00:29:34,090 --> 00:29:30,350
in 2016

613
00:29:37,750 --> 00:29:34,100
Martell and Steger defined meaning

614
00:29:40,909 --> 00:29:37,760
as coherence the meaning of life right

615
00:29:43,549 --> 00:29:40,919
so they say well the meaning the in them

616
00:29:45,889 --> 00:29:43,559
the meaning of the meaning part of the

617
00:29:48,769 --> 00:29:45,899
meaning of life is coherence it's

618
00:29:50,930 --> 00:29:48,779
purpose and significance

619
00:29:52,250 --> 00:29:50,940
again it's it's just two people trying

620
00:29:55,610 --> 00:29:52,260
to sound smart

621
00:29:59,810 --> 00:29:55,620
it's two people that may be smart

622
00:30:01,789 --> 00:29:59,820
but are trying to sound smart

623
00:30:03,710 --> 00:30:01,799
and it's not a good look

624
00:30:08,330 --> 00:30:03,720
it's not it's not

625
00:30:11,450 --> 00:30:08,340
it's not that is not the meaning of life

626
00:30:15,049 --> 00:30:11,460
so check this out Wong

627
00:30:16,850 --> 00:30:15,059
Wong has a four component solution to

628
00:30:18,590 --> 00:30:16,860
the meaning of life purpose

629
00:30:21,110 --> 00:30:18,600
understanding responsibility and

630
00:30:24,230 --> 00:30:21,120
enjoyment Wong's four-point system

631
00:30:26,990 --> 00:30:24,240
guaranteed or your money back is this

632
00:30:30,590 --> 00:30:27,000
one

633
00:30:33,590 --> 00:30:30,600
you need to choose a worthy purpose or a

634
00:30:35,389 --> 00:30:33,600
significant life goal

635
00:30:36,649 --> 00:30:35,399
number two

636
00:30:40,130 --> 00:30:36,659
you need to have sufficient

637
00:30:43,370 --> 00:30:40,140
understanding of who you are of what

638
00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:43,380
life demands of you and how you can play

639
00:30:50,510 --> 00:30:47,279
a significant role in life

640
00:30:53,149 --> 00:30:50,520
three three

641
00:30:55,190 --> 00:30:53,159
you and you alone are responsible for

642
00:30:58,430 --> 00:30:55,200
deciding what kind of life you want to

643
00:31:02,450 --> 00:30:58,440
live and what constitutes a significant

644
00:31:04,610 --> 00:31:02,460
and worthwhile life goal

645
00:31:06,950 --> 00:31:04,620
four

646
00:31:09,529 --> 00:31:06,960
you will enjoy a deep sense of

647
00:31:12,529 --> 00:31:09,539
significance and satisfaction only when

648
00:31:14,990 --> 00:31:12,539
you have exercised your responsibility

649
00:31:20,149 --> 00:31:15,000
for self-determination and actively

650
00:31:21,950 --> 00:31:20,159
pursue a worthy life goal

651
00:31:28,149 --> 00:31:21,960
he's wrong

652
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:31,850
it's a little taste of ontology

653
00:31:35,810 --> 00:31:34,320
it's a little little taste of the

654
00:31:40,190 --> 00:31:35,820
scientific method

655
00:31:43,190 --> 00:31:40,200
and again it's a way to sound smart

656
00:31:47,149 --> 00:31:43,200
and the more complex you make it

657
00:31:49,909 --> 00:31:47,159
this is the way that a doctor will think

658
00:31:52,730 --> 00:31:49,919
a philosopher will think a scientist

659
00:31:54,889 --> 00:31:52,740
will think a religious leader will think

660
00:31:56,690 --> 00:31:54,899
the more complex you make it the smarter

661
00:31:58,669 --> 00:31:56,700
I am

662
00:32:01,490 --> 00:31:58,679
I'm going to make this complex I'm just

663
00:32:03,350 --> 00:32:01,500
gonna give a little you know and and you

664
00:32:07,669 --> 00:32:03,360
go through this list

665
00:32:11,149 --> 00:32:07,679
what do you get out of any of that

666
00:32:14,690 --> 00:32:11,159
do you feel happiness in that list

667
00:32:17,149 --> 00:32:14,700
no you don't

668
00:32:20,570 --> 00:32:17,159
it is truly not the meaning of life

669
00:32:23,630 --> 00:32:20,580
and and Paul Wong smart guy but he's

670
00:32:27,169 --> 00:32:23,640
trying to sound smart he's trying to

671
00:32:31,370 --> 00:32:29,990
you know the more that you get people to

672
00:32:35,810 --> 00:32:31,380
think

673
00:32:38,330 --> 00:32:35,820
right you you throw them off the scent

674
00:32:40,970 --> 00:32:38,340
you can make it really simple you could

675
00:32:45,289 --> 00:32:40,980
probably just say one word and the the

676
00:32:49,850 --> 00:32:46,909
we have ethics

677
00:32:52,310 --> 00:32:49,860
that come into the meaning of life

678
00:32:53,750 --> 00:32:52,320
and again it's such a philosophical

679
00:32:55,730 --> 00:32:53,760
situation

680
00:32:57,409 --> 00:32:55,740
but uh and it's certainly religious

681
00:32:58,430 --> 00:32:57,419
because we have ethics like Good and

682
00:32:59,570 --> 00:32:58,440
Evil

683
00:33:02,330 --> 00:32:59,580
right

684
00:33:05,029 --> 00:33:02,340
good and evil and and and and get to you

685
00:33:06,529 --> 00:33:05,039
know don't be evil be good that is the

686
00:33:10,430 --> 00:33:06,539
meaning of life

687
00:33:14,210 --> 00:33:10,440
that's it it's it's it's polarities it's

688
00:33:17,210 --> 00:33:14,220
ones and zeros it's opposites right you

689
00:33:19,789 --> 00:33:17,220
can't go there you can only go here and

690
00:33:22,610 --> 00:33:19,799
that is the meaning of life and it's not

691
00:33:25,009 --> 00:33:22,620
it's not even close

692
00:33:28,070 --> 00:33:25,019
and in the end

693
00:33:30,950 --> 00:33:28,080
does it even matter

694
00:33:34,430 --> 00:33:30,960
you know so you get to

695
00:33:36,950 --> 00:33:34,440
you get to those Twilight years

696
00:33:38,450 --> 00:33:36,960
and you've been a good person your whole

697
00:33:41,389 --> 00:33:38,460
life

698
00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:41,399
are you gonna step back and go is

699
00:33:46,190 --> 00:33:43,200
is that it

700
00:33:48,649 --> 00:33:46,200
is that the answer I was seeking

701
00:33:51,769 --> 00:33:48,659
is that the meaning of life

702
00:33:54,830 --> 00:33:51,779
kind of feel kind of empty right now and

703
00:33:58,130 --> 00:33:54,840
it's the same thing with evil man

704
00:34:01,789 --> 00:33:58,140
be the most evilest evil is that the

705
00:34:03,950 --> 00:34:01,799
meaning of life sometimes it feels that

706
00:34:05,269 --> 00:34:03,960
way because there's so much Badness in

707
00:34:07,009 --> 00:34:05,279
the world

708
00:34:08,930 --> 00:34:07,019
right

709
00:34:13,010 --> 00:34:08,940
but

710
00:34:15,649 --> 00:34:13,020
Putin

711
00:34:20,810 --> 00:34:15,659
or Kim fatty fat

712
00:34:24,829 --> 00:34:22,730
they really do

713
00:34:29,750 --> 00:34:24,839
and when I get to what the meaning of

714
00:34:35,750 --> 00:34:32,210
free will

715
00:34:38,750 --> 00:34:35,760
making your own decisions again almost

716
00:34:40,430 --> 00:34:38,760
uh existential thought here I'm going to

717
00:34:42,349 --> 00:34:40,440
get to that too as well

718
00:34:44,329 --> 00:34:42,359
Free Will making your own decisions

719
00:34:47,089 --> 00:34:44,339
that's the meaning of life being a free

720
00:34:50,450 --> 00:34:47,099
person being free

721
00:34:53,869 --> 00:34:50,460
to make your own decisions not to have

722
00:34:55,669 --> 00:34:53,879
the man guide you right get it's almost

723
00:34:58,310 --> 00:34:55,679
Nichi

724
00:34:59,510 --> 00:34:58,320
it's nichi-esque

725
00:35:02,990 --> 00:34:59,520
right

726
00:35:05,030 --> 00:35:03,000
making your own decisions

727
00:35:08,270 --> 00:35:05,040
is that the meaning of life it is it

728
00:35:10,310 --> 00:35:08,280
simply isn't it isn't you can make your

729
00:35:12,890 --> 00:35:10,320
own decisions your whole life

730
00:35:15,829 --> 00:35:12,900
and not even be close to having the

731
00:35:18,349 --> 00:35:15,839
answer to the meaning of life be your

732
00:35:21,770 --> 00:35:18,359
own man be your own person

733
00:35:22,849 --> 00:35:21,780
right cut the umbilical cord do Your Own

734
00:35:23,990 --> 00:35:22,859
Thing

735
00:35:26,329 --> 00:35:24,000
yeah

736
00:35:28,790 --> 00:35:26,339
but it's not the meaning of life

737
00:35:32,750 --> 00:35:28,800
it's not there are so many different

738
00:35:36,710 --> 00:35:32,760
organizations and and in groups out

739
00:35:39,530 --> 00:35:36,720
there that base their

740
00:35:41,270 --> 00:35:39,540
their thought process on making your own

741
00:35:43,790 --> 00:35:41,280
decisions and and that is the meaning of

742
00:35:45,950 --> 00:35:43,800
life and that is you know the road to

743
00:35:47,690 --> 00:35:45,960
happiness and and everything else no no

744
00:35:49,730 --> 00:35:47,700
it's simply not

745
00:35:52,430 --> 00:35:49,740
Free Will is not you want to have free

746
00:35:54,109 --> 00:35:52,440
will you want to be a good person sure

747
00:35:57,050 --> 00:35:54,119
you want to have good moral character

748
00:35:59,150 --> 00:35:57,060
all of this stuff is awesome

749
00:36:01,790 --> 00:35:59,160
certainly

750
00:36:04,430 --> 00:36:01,800
but that's what you should do anyway

751
00:36:07,069 --> 00:36:04,440
that's not the meaning of life you

752
00:36:09,650 --> 00:36:07,079
should do those things

753
00:36:12,890 --> 00:36:09,660
the Ten Commandments of the Bible

754
00:36:16,329 --> 00:36:12,900
I love them that's

755
00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:19,250
you should be doing that

756
00:36:25,970 --> 00:36:23,760
but do you want do you want a cookie do

757
00:36:28,550 --> 00:36:25,980
you want some kind of gift

758
00:36:31,130 --> 00:36:28,560
right do you want a cake

759
00:36:34,150 --> 00:36:31,140
for just doing the right thing right for

760
00:36:39,170 --> 00:36:36,349
there's supposed to be some kind of

761
00:36:41,750 --> 00:36:39,180
reward at the end of the game

762
00:36:44,750 --> 00:36:41,760
now that's just a list of stuff that

763
00:36:50,030 --> 00:36:44,760
that's the right thing to do

764
00:36:53,569 --> 00:36:52,730
you get to go to the good place what do

765
00:36:55,069 --> 00:36:53,579
you mean

766
00:36:56,450 --> 00:36:55,079
should be going there anyway I'm gonna

767
00:36:58,670 --> 00:36:56,460
do this stuff anyway what are you

768
00:37:00,720 --> 00:36:58,680
talking about

769
00:37:02,030 --> 00:37:00,730
in 2014

770
00:37:04,190 --> 00:37:02,040
[Music]

771
00:37:08,750 --> 00:37:04,200
the British National Health Service

772
00:37:12,589 --> 00:37:08,760
began recommending a five-step plan

773
00:37:15,349 --> 00:37:12,599
for well-being based on meaningful lives

774
00:37:16,790 --> 00:37:15,359
the meaning of life

775
00:37:21,050 --> 00:37:16,800
that's right

776
00:37:25,010 --> 00:37:21,060
and those five steps are this

777
00:37:28,670 --> 00:37:25,020
one connect with community and family

778
00:37:32,750 --> 00:37:28,680
two physical exercise

779
00:37:36,230 --> 00:37:32,760
three life long learning

780
00:37:41,150 --> 00:37:36,240
four giving to others

781
00:37:43,910 --> 00:37:41,160
five mindfulness of the world around you

782
00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:43,920
that's 2014. that's recent history that

783
00:37:50,990 --> 00:37:47,760
is the British National Health Service

784
00:37:52,849 --> 00:37:51,000
the meaning of life

785
00:37:54,170 --> 00:37:52,859
I should almost read all five of those

786
00:37:56,270 --> 00:37:54,180
again shouldn't I

787
00:37:57,349 --> 00:37:56,280
the meaning of that's not the meaning of

788
00:38:00,650 --> 00:37:57,359
life

789
00:38:02,870 --> 00:38:00,660
that's just stuff you're supposed to do

790
00:38:04,490 --> 00:38:02,880
see it it's just stuff you're supposed

791
00:38:07,250 --> 00:38:04,500
to do

792
00:38:08,390 --> 00:38:07,260
now if we start to break this down even

793
00:38:10,190 --> 00:38:08,400
further

794
00:38:12,890 --> 00:38:10,200
with the different groups out there I'm

795
00:38:14,750 --> 00:38:12,900
not getting into Socrates and Aristotle

796
00:38:16,849 --> 00:38:14,760
and Greek philosophy I'm not going to

797
00:38:19,010 --> 00:38:16,859
get Egyptian philosophy and World

798
00:38:20,450 --> 00:38:19,020
philosophy I'm not going to get into any

799
00:38:23,390 --> 00:38:20,460
of that

800
00:38:25,849 --> 00:38:23,400
that's for another show

801
00:38:27,650 --> 00:38:25,859
um but but I'll say this when it comes

802
00:38:32,030 --> 00:38:27,660
to

803
00:38:34,310 --> 00:38:32,040
um some of the uh philosophical

804
00:38:37,010 --> 00:38:34,320
sided things

805
00:38:40,870 --> 00:38:37,020
I think it's all in general terms

806
00:38:42,490 --> 00:38:40,880
but if you go and you read through

807
00:38:48,470 --> 00:38:42,500
complex

808
00:38:51,109 --> 00:38:48,480
from the ancient philosophers on the

809
00:38:53,150 --> 00:38:51,119
meaning of life it's insane

810
00:38:54,650 --> 00:38:53,160
it's absolutely I gotta do all of this I

811
00:38:57,349 --> 00:38:54,660
got to think about this I need to

812
00:39:00,050 --> 00:38:57,359
discuss this it'll take up my my entire

813
00:39:01,490 --> 00:39:00,060
life before I I take a step forward I've

814
00:39:04,430 --> 00:39:01,500
got to go through all I've got to

815
00:39:07,430 --> 00:39:04,440
discuss this you're going to teach me

816
00:39:09,050 --> 00:39:07,440
all of this and for what in the end my

817
00:39:10,790 --> 00:39:09,060
life will be over by the time I get

818
00:39:12,230 --> 00:39:10,800
through that list

819
00:39:14,630 --> 00:39:12,240
it's crazy

820
00:39:17,650 --> 00:39:14,640
but check this out

821
00:39:24,310 --> 00:39:20,930
legalism it's a thing

822
00:39:28,150 --> 00:39:24,320
legalism the legalists

823
00:39:31,370 --> 00:39:28,160
believe that finding the purpose of life

824
00:39:36,170 --> 00:39:31,380
was a meaningless effort

825
00:39:41,569 --> 00:39:38,690
oh man Fade to Black will never be heard

826
00:39:43,730 --> 00:39:41,579
in China after tonight's show to the

827
00:39:46,010 --> 00:39:43,740
legalists there's reasons for that look

828
00:39:48,290 --> 00:39:46,020
it up

829
00:39:51,230 --> 00:39:48,300
to the legalists only practical

830
00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:51,240
knowledge is valuable

831
00:39:55,430 --> 00:39:53,760
everything else doesn't matter

832
00:40:02,810 --> 00:39:55,440
your dog

833
00:40:08,510 --> 00:40:05,530
your children

834
00:40:12,170 --> 00:40:08,520
relationships spirituality

835
00:40:14,089 --> 00:40:12,180
anything that makes you happy

836
00:40:15,950 --> 00:40:14,099
is meaningless

837
00:40:17,210 --> 00:40:15,960
to legalists

838
00:40:26,870 --> 00:40:17,220
yeah

839
00:40:32,569 --> 00:40:30,170
Confucius says quote

840
00:40:33,470 --> 00:40:32,579
we can realize the ultimate meaning of

841
00:40:38,810 --> 00:40:33,480
life

842
00:40:40,370 --> 00:40:38,820
in ordinary human existence end quote

843
00:40:45,170 --> 00:40:40,380
that's it

844
00:40:47,569 --> 00:40:45,180
nothing special

845
00:40:51,170 --> 00:40:47,579
and it's it's crazy when you jump into

846
00:40:54,050 --> 00:40:51,180
it now uh I I get that there are other

847
00:40:55,910 --> 00:40:54,060
views and other takes on this but I am

848
00:40:58,430 --> 00:40:55,920
telling you right now confucianist

849
00:41:00,410 --> 00:40:58,440
scholar Tu Wang Ming

850
00:41:02,930 --> 00:41:00,420
wrote in his book

851
00:41:04,730 --> 00:41:02,940
quote we can realize the ultimate

852
00:41:07,310 --> 00:41:04,740
meaning of life in ordinary human

853
00:41:09,770 --> 00:41:07,320
existence end quote that is cold

854
00:41:11,990 --> 00:41:09,780
that is cold and is that the meaning of

855
00:41:14,450 --> 00:41:12,000
life truly it is not

856
00:41:16,370 --> 00:41:14,460
you know but as long as you know

857
00:41:18,950 --> 00:41:16,380
especially you know if you're legal is

858
00:41:22,130 --> 00:41:18,960
Confucianism

859
00:41:25,849 --> 00:41:22,140
um yeah keep it complex like that like

860
00:41:27,650 --> 00:41:25,859
totally confuse everybody you got to

861
00:41:29,690 --> 00:41:27,660
keep them coming back you got to dangle

862
00:41:32,450 --> 00:41:29,700
that carrot

863
00:41:36,109 --> 00:41:32,460
about embodied cognition

864
00:41:39,829 --> 00:41:36,119
embody cognition uses the neurological

865
00:41:43,609 --> 00:41:39,839
basis of emotion of speech and cognition

866
00:41:45,170 --> 00:41:43,619
the brain to understand nature of

867
00:41:48,470 --> 00:41:45,180
thought

868
00:41:50,810 --> 00:41:48,480
you see that belief system of the

869
00:41:54,349 --> 00:41:50,820
scientists is that once we understand

870
00:41:57,170 --> 00:41:54,359
the brain a sound personal assessment as

871
00:41:58,670 --> 00:41:57,180
to the meaning of one's life should be

872
00:42:02,630 --> 00:41:58,680
straightforward

873
00:42:03,950 --> 00:42:02,640
ones and zeros man it's just math just

874
00:42:06,230 --> 00:42:03,960
chemistry

875
00:42:08,450 --> 00:42:06,240
that's it so once we understand the

876
00:42:12,589 --> 00:42:08,460
brain once we understand how the brain

877
00:42:15,829 --> 00:42:12,599
works how it connects how it does its

878
00:42:17,750 --> 00:42:15,839
job we will have the meaning of life

879
00:42:20,569 --> 00:42:17,760
that's right

880
00:42:22,670 --> 00:42:20,579
that's I that's that's Richard Dawkins

881
00:42:23,930 --> 00:42:22,680
that's what he thinks that's what he

882
00:42:25,370 --> 00:42:23,940
believes well I don't know if it's what

883
00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:25,380
he believes

884
00:42:30,890 --> 00:42:28,800
but it's what he says and you got to

885
00:42:32,810 --> 00:42:30,900
take a little carrot out there he's got

886
00:42:34,490 --> 00:42:32,820
back to my point

887
00:42:36,050 --> 00:42:34,500
he's got a lot of followers I'm not

888
00:42:37,670 --> 00:42:36,060
talking about him specifically but

889
00:42:39,290 --> 00:42:37,680
everybody around him that has this

890
00:42:41,569 --> 00:42:39,300
thought process

891
00:42:45,530 --> 00:42:41,579
he's not the only leader that that

892
00:42:49,089 --> 00:42:45,540
speaks like this he's not and you've got

893
00:42:52,730 --> 00:42:49,099
to have that that atheist

894
00:42:54,410 --> 00:42:52,740
ones and zero black and white scientific

895
00:42:56,750 --> 00:42:54,420
method be the basis of everything

896
00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:56,760
nothing else matters

897
00:43:02,030 --> 00:42:59,760
that's it so if you're gonna have that

898
00:43:04,550 --> 00:43:02,040
and it's religious by the way if you're

899
00:43:08,030 --> 00:43:04,560
gonna have that

900
00:43:09,470 --> 00:43:08,040
The Only Way Forward is one general

901
00:43:12,770 --> 00:43:09,480
statement

902
00:43:15,530 --> 00:43:12,780
we figure out the brain the science of

903
00:43:18,950 --> 00:43:15,540
the brain we figure out the meaning of

904
00:43:25,490 --> 00:43:21,370
it's crazy isn't it

905
00:43:32,349 --> 00:43:28,270
now according to naturalistic pantheism

906
00:43:37,370 --> 00:43:32,359
the meaning of life is to care and look

907
00:43:39,170 --> 00:43:37,380
after nature and the environment

908
00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:39,180
that

909
00:43:45,950 --> 00:43:41,760
is the meaning of life

910
00:43:48,349 --> 00:43:45,960
no I would I would uh

911
00:43:49,790 --> 00:43:48,359
I would argue

912
00:43:51,770 --> 00:43:49,800
that that is something you're just

913
00:43:54,050 --> 00:43:51,780
supposed to do

914
00:43:56,089 --> 00:43:54,060
that's it that's just something you're

915
00:43:58,730 --> 00:43:56,099
supposed to do

916
00:44:00,410 --> 00:43:58,740
it's not the meaning of life that's just

917
00:44:02,750 --> 00:44:00,420
living a good life

918
00:44:04,970 --> 00:44:02,760
doing the right thing

919
00:44:07,550 --> 00:44:04,980
but it's not the meaning of life no it's

920
00:44:12,170 --> 00:44:07,560
not even close but what about what about

921
00:44:18,470 --> 00:44:15,109
yeah I said it

922
00:44:24,849 --> 00:44:18,480
I said it post-modernism

923
00:44:29,349 --> 00:44:26,410
anything

924
00:44:31,849 --> 00:44:29,359
resembling a meaning of life in a

925
00:44:34,250 --> 00:44:31,859
post-modernist term

926
00:44:36,829 --> 00:44:34,260
can only be understood within a social

927
00:44:39,470 --> 00:44:36,839
and linguistic framework

928
00:44:41,750 --> 00:44:39,480
and it must be pursued as an escape from

929
00:44:44,329 --> 00:44:41,760
the power structures that are already

930
00:44:46,130 --> 00:44:44,339
embedded in all forms of speech and

931
00:44:48,050 --> 00:44:46,140
interaction

932
00:44:51,050 --> 00:44:48,060
yeah

933
00:44:52,730 --> 00:44:51,060
it's kind of like free will

934
00:44:54,170 --> 00:44:52,740
right

935
00:44:57,589 --> 00:44:54,180
you know and you have you know

936
00:44:59,109 --> 00:44:57,599
determinism right free will

937
00:45:02,510 --> 00:44:59,119
all right

938
00:45:04,970 --> 00:45:02,520
not having the man above you or around

939
00:45:07,690 --> 00:45:04,980
you and that kind of structure that kind

940
00:45:11,510 --> 00:45:07,700
of framework and getting rid of it

941
00:45:14,750 --> 00:45:11,520
because it is everywhere

942
00:45:16,069 --> 00:45:14,760
it's everywhere it's who you talk to

943
00:45:19,250 --> 00:45:16,079
right

944
00:45:23,089 --> 00:45:19,260
it's it it's everything

945
00:45:25,790 --> 00:45:23,099
that's crazy to me it's very cold

946
00:45:26,690 --> 00:45:25,800
and and to think that somebody is going

947
00:45:28,970 --> 00:45:26,700
to

948
00:45:30,890 --> 00:45:28,980
you know look at me and say that you

949
00:45:34,130 --> 00:45:30,900
know the meaning of life

950
00:45:35,990 --> 00:45:34,140
is not having anybody control and you

951
00:45:37,309 --> 00:45:36,000
need to get rid of it we need to burn

952
00:45:40,609 --> 00:45:37,319
this thing down

953
00:45:45,650 --> 00:45:40,619
that's crazy to me

954
00:45:50,990 --> 00:45:48,770
now logical positivists

955
00:45:54,589 --> 00:45:51,000
they ask quote

956
00:45:57,349 --> 00:45:54,599
what is the meaning of life

957
00:45:59,390 --> 00:45:57,359
and then of course

958
00:46:04,010 --> 00:45:59,400
quote

959
00:46:07,190 --> 00:46:04,020
what is the meaning in asking

960
00:46:09,770 --> 00:46:07,200
why would you do that what's the purpose

961
00:46:11,510 --> 00:46:09,780
of asking that question what is the

962
00:46:13,849 --> 00:46:11,520
meaning in asking the question in the

963
00:46:17,450 --> 00:46:13,859
first place

964
00:46:22,790 --> 00:46:20,210
they come back with

965
00:46:25,010 --> 00:46:22,800
you say you have to you you break it

966
00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:25,020
down and the reason why they're trying

967
00:46:28,490 --> 00:46:26,640
to be logical about this and they're

968
00:46:30,890 --> 00:46:28,500
trying to make the question like a math

969
00:46:32,870 --> 00:46:30,900
equation right what is the meaning of

970
00:46:35,750 --> 00:46:32,880
life well what is life so you make life

971
00:46:39,170 --> 00:46:35,760
X so what is the meaning of X and if you

972
00:46:41,630 --> 00:46:39,180
can't label that if you can have uh

973
00:46:44,030 --> 00:46:41,640
objectives there and if you can't Define

974
00:46:46,490 --> 00:46:44,040
what life is therefore life is nothing

975
00:46:49,370 --> 00:46:46,500
so you're asking about the meaning of

976
00:46:52,270 --> 00:46:49,380
nothing so what is the meaning of asking

977
00:46:56,990 --> 00:46:52,280
about nothing because if there are no

978
00:46:58,609 --> 00:46:57,000
objective values to X then life is

979
00:47:04,370 --> 00:46:58,619
meaningless

980
00:47:13,010 --> 00:47:07,790
secular humanism

981
00:47:14,690 --> 00:47:13,020
give you a quote here quote secular

982
00:47:17,690 --> 00:47:14,700
humanism

983
00:47:20,870 --> 00:47:17,700
it is the human personality that is the

984
00:47:24,109 --> 00:47:20,880
purpose of human beings life which

985
00:47:26,470 --> 00:47:24,119
humanism seeks to develop and fulfill

986
00:47:28,430 --> 00:47:26,480
the question of the meaning of life

987
00:47:33,470 --> 00:47:28,440
should be

988
00:47:34,970 --> 00:47:33,480
quote what is the meaning of my life

989
00:47:38,050 --> 00:47:34,980
end quote

990
00:47:42,470 --> 00:47:38,060
see now by by doing that

991
00:47:45,370 --> 00:47:42,480
once again make it complex

992
00:47:48,950 --> 00:47:45,380
don't make it simple don't make it 42.

993
00:47:50,210 --> 00:47:48,960
jump right there and make it complex and

994
00:47:52,309 --> 00:47:50,220
force somebody

995
00:47:53,750 --> 00:47:52,319
to just go wait a minute the question is

996
00:47:56,089 --> 00:47:53,760
about myself

997
00:47:58,190 --> 00:47:56,099
what is the meaning of my life man I

998
00:48:00,770 --> 00:47:58,200
need the meaning of life oh man that's

999
00:48:02,870 --> 00:48:00,780
the that's what I need to do here there

1000
00:48:04,670 --> 00:48:02,880
isn't anything General that you can give

1001
00:48:07,309 --> 00:48:04,680
me something that I can think about

1002
00:48:09,890 --> 00:48:07,319
something that I can pursue right I'm

1003
00:48:17,410 --> 00:48:09,900
supposed to just sit back and think

1004
00:48:20,390 --> 00:48:19,130
existentialism

1005
00:48:24,589 --> 00:48:20,400
yeah

1006
00:48:28,490 --> 00:48:25,849
coffee

1007
00:48:31,390 --> 00:48:28,500
the meaning of life

1008
00:48:33,970 --> 00:48:31,400
I think that's my new commercial

1009
00:48:37,970 --> 00:48:33,980
existentialism according to

1010
00:48:42,470 --> 00:48:37,980
existentialism each person creates the

1011
00:48:45,290 --> 00:48:42,480
meaning of their own life there we go

1012
00:48:50,510 --> 00:48:45,300
life is not determined by a supernatural

1013
00:48:54,890 --> 00:48:50,520
God or another human being now

1014
00:49:00,589 --> 00:48:57,950
I'm gonna argue that all day long

1015
00:49:02,569 --> 00:49:00,599
how I mean how how can that even be a

1016
00:49:08,450 --> 00:49:02,579
possibility

1017
00:49:10,550 --> 00:49:08,460
right now a supernatural God oh man you

1018
00:49:13,190 --> 00:49:10,560
know so whether we are talking about

1019
00:49:14,150 --> 00:49:13,200
some fundamental Foundation of a

1020
00:49:16,910 --> 00:49:14,160
religion

1021
00:49:19,430 --> 00:49:16,920
Christianity Islam whatever you want to

1022
00:49:21,410 --> 00:49:19,440
uh Hinduism whatever whatever you want

1023
00:49:23,569 --> 00:49:21,420
to just put a label on you know

1024
00:49:26,270 --> 00:49:23,579
something like that a supernatural guy

1025
00:49:27,829 --> 00:49:26,280
that that's that time do your thing if

1026
00:49:31,490 --> 00:49:27,839
that's what you want to do go and do it

1027
00:49:36,470 --> 00:49:31,500
I have no issues with it I really don't

1028
00:49:38,569 --> 00:49:36,480
um but uh on the surface the the ideals

1029
00:49:40,010 --> 00:49:38,579
behind it you know live a good life you

1030
00:49:42,470 --> 00:49:40,020
know okay all right

1031
00:49:44,990 --> 00:49:42,480
but

1032
00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:45,000
there is something I think underlying to

1033
00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:47,160
all of this when it comes to the meaning

1034
00:49:52,069 --> 00:49:50,400
of life and I think it is Supernatural

1035
00:49:54,230 --> 00:49:52,079
I do

1036
00:49:56,930 --> 00:49:54,240
and I'll tell you after the break

1037
00:50:00,770 --> 00:49:56,940
but another human being

1038
00:50:03,290 --> 00:50:00,780
that that cannot be the meaning of life

1039
00:50:08,210 --> 00:50:03,300
that is something that can be argued

1040
00:50:14,329 --> 00:50:10,849
theism

1041
00:50:16,630 --> 00:50:14,339
theists hold the world view that humans

1042
00:50:21,950 --> 00:50:16,640
find their meaning and purpose for life

1043
00:50:25,069 --> 00:50:23,990
that that is the meaning of life right

1044
00:50:27,550 --> 00:50:25,079
there

1045
00:50:31,069 --> 00:50:27,560
the meaning of life

1046
00:50:34,309 --> 00:50:31,079
is why did God

1047
00:50:36,770 --> 00:50:34,319
create us

1048
00:50:39,230 --> 00:50:36,780
created the universe so that's that's

1049
00:50:41,150 --> 00:50:39,240
that's that's that's it that's your

1050
00:50:44,510 --> 00:50:41,160
life's journey that's the meaning of

1051
00:50:46,910 --> 00:50:44,520
life right there and that that is not

1052
00:50:48,290 --> 00:50:46,920
the meaning of life that's that's a

1053
00:50:51,950 --> 00:50:48,300
purpose

1054
00:50:54,170 --> 00:50:51,960
what you want to do and you want to

1055
00:50:56,450 --> 00:50:54,180
pursue that great

1056
00:50:59,870 --> 00:50:56,460
that's not the meaning of life

1057
00:51:04,089 --> 00:51:01,970
pragmatism

1058
00:51:06,950 --> 00:51:04,099
hmm

1059
00:51:09,349 --> 00:51:06,960
pragmatic philosophers say that

1060
00:51:13,130 --> 00:51:09,359
practical useful understanding of life

1061
00:51:19,370 --> 00:51:13,140
is more important than searching for an

1062
00:51:22,069 --> 00:51:20,990
you see that's exactly what I'm talking

1063
00:51:23,809 --> 00:51:22,079
about

1064
00:51:26,329 --> 00:51:23,819
right there

1065
00:51:27,950 --> 00:51:26,339
make it complex

1066
00:51:32,150 --> 00:51:27,960
make it something that you can't even

1067
00:51:37,370 --> 00:51:34,430
think about that a useful understanding

1068
00:51:41,690 --> 00:51:37,380
of life is more important than searching

1069
00:51:43,670 --> 00:51:41,700
for an impractical abstract truth

1070
00:51:46,370 --> 00:51:43,680
about life

1071
00:51:49,010 --> 00:51:46,380
I mean that just opens the door to

1072
00:51:51,589 --> 00:51:49,020
mountains of discussion years of

1073
00:51:53,750 --> 00:51:51,599
discussion without getting to the end or

1074
00:51:56,569 --> 00:51:53,760
the answer of anything

1075
00:51:58,490 --> 00:51:56,579
that's what philosophers do

1076
00:52:01,250 --> 00:51:58,500
that's what religions do

1077
00:52:06,410 --> 00:52:01,260
right and it's not the meaning of life

1078
00:52:13,210 --> 00:52:08,930
all right

1079
00:52:18,349 --> 00:52:16,730
ah yeah throwing a little Nietzsche

1080
00:52:22,190 --> 00:52:18,359
again

1081
00:52:27,170 --> 00:52:25,430
nihilism suggests

1082
00:52:34,130 --> 00:52:27,180
that life

1083
00:52:39,250 --> 00:52:35,990
life has no meaning

1084
00:52:43,130 --> 00:52:39,260
that God is dead

1085
00:52:48,829 --> 00:52:43,140
that emptying the world and especially

1086
00:52:56,089 --> 00:52:52,250
it's crazy emptying the world of purpose

1087
00:52:59,270 --> 00:52:56,099
emptying the world of Truth emptying the

1088
00:53:02,150 --> 00:52:59,280
world of essential values

1089
00:53:03,589 --> 00:53:02,160
right after that after you you go you do

1090
00:53:06,109 --> 00:53:03,599
all of that

1091
00:53:07,910 --> 00:53:06,119
all of existence all of these

1092
00:53:10,910 --> 00:53:07,920
intangibles right

1093
00:53:12,589 --> 00:53:10,920
that after that you'll have the meaning

1094
00:53:14,690 --> 00:53:12,599
of life

1095
00:53:16,790 --> 00:53:14,700
when your head is clear we need to have

1096
00:53:18,290 --> 00:53:16,800
to think about any of that stuff where

1097
00:53:22,609 --> 00:53:18,300
you don't have to think of meaning and

1098
00:53:25,309 --> 00:53:22,619
purpose and and uh truth and values and

1099
00:53:28,549 --> 00:53:25,319
morals I mean you get rid of all of that

1100
00:53:31,430 --> 00:53:28,559
your head is clear

1101
00:53:33,950 --> 00:53:31,440
you'll find out that the meaning of life

1102
00:53:36,530 --> 00:53:33,960
is a four-car garage

1103
00:53:38,510 --> 00:53:36,540
that's really clean

1104
00:53:42,230 --> 00:53:38,520
and nice

1105
00:53:45,190 --> 00:53:42,240
I had a friend I had a roommate

1106
00:53:48,970 --> 00:53:45,200
smart guy too real smart guy

1107
00:53:53,510 --> 00:53:48,980
and this was in uh the 80s

1108
00:53:55,790 --> 00:53:53,520
and he takes me over to this guy's

1109
00:53:59,150 --> 00:53:55,800
really smart too takes me over to his

1110
00:54:00,010 --> 00:53:59,160
dad's house and he's house hitting his

1111
00:54:03,650 --> 00:54:00,020
dad

1112
00:54:05,150 --> 00:54:03,660
is like on some kind of World Tour for

1113
00:54:06,710 --> 00:54:05,160
three months he's seeing the world he's

1114
00:54:08,270 --> 00:54:06,720
got all these different countries and

1115
00:54:10,970 --> 00:54:08,280
stuff and

1116
00:54:12,770 --> 00:54:10,980
and uh I think his dad was like an

1117
00:54:14,990 --> 00:54:12,780
architect

1118
00:54:16,370 --> 00:54:15,000
if I remember correctly an engineer of

1119
00:54:18,530 --> 00:54:16,380
some kind of architect

1120
00:54:21,309 --> 00:54:18,540
you go to his house

1121
00:54:25,809 --> 00:54:21,319
and uh nice place

1122
00:54:29,809 --> 00:54:25,819
mid-century modern clean

1123
00:54:32,329 --> 00:54:29,819

00:55:15,530 --> 00:55:10,020
so I go in the living room

1140
00:55:17,510 --> 00:55:15,540
and I sit down on the couch and on the I

1141
00:55:19,549 --> 00:55:17,520
can't remember which one it was but on

1142
00:55:20,750 --> 00:55:19,559

00:55:32,690 --> 00:55:30,300

1147
00:55:37,809 --> 00:55:32,700

dad

1150
00:55:46,849 --> 00:55:44,160
um

1151
00:55:47,990 --> 00:55:46,859
my dad doesn't believe in anything I

1152
00:55:50,510 --> 00:55:48,000
said what do you mean

1153
00:55:52,190 --> 00:55:50,520
and anything

1154
00:55:55,069 --> 00:55:52,200
religion

1155
00:55:57,950 --> 00:55:55,079
life after death

1156
00:55:59,829 --> 00:55:57,960
ghosts I said what

1157
00:56:05,329 --> 00:55:59,839
do you mean

1158
00:56:05,339 --> 00:56:09,650
that life is just this

1159
00:56:13,490 --> 00:56:11,750
I said okay now I don't want to say

1160
00:56:16,970 --> 00:56:13,500
anything further because I don't want to

1161
00:56:19,910 --> 00:56:16,980
expose who this who this person was uh

1162
00:56:22,190 --> 00:56:19,920
or or his father but he said a couple of

1163
00:56:25,910 --> 00:56:22,200
very very specific things

1164
00:56:28,370 --> 00:56:25,920
and I I stepped back

1165
00:56:32,450 --> 00:56:28,380
and looked around the house

1166
00:56:35,510 --> 00:56:32,460
and I didn't dig it anymore

1167
00:56:37,910 --> 00:56:35,520
that this is how somebody lives because

1168
00:56:40,670 --> 00:56:37,920
I was I was digging the house

1169
00:56:47,089 --> 00:56:43,190
he says to me

1170
00:56:49,250 --> 00:56:47,099
that my father believes

1171
00:56:52,490 --> 00:56:49,260
in things

1172
00:56:57,950 --> 00:56:55,670
having a nice car having a nice house

1173
00:57:00,109 --> 00:56:57,960
this is why we are here

1174
00:57:02,630 --> 00:57:00,119
having a great job

1175
00:57:04,670 --> 00:57:02,640
that's that's his religion

1176
00:57:06,349 --> 00:57:04,680
he said that's his religion that's a

1177
00:57:09,530 --> 00:57:06,359
religion

1178
00:57:11,750 --> 00:57:09,540
and I wasn't digging it it scared me it

1179
00:57:14,750 --> 00:57:11,760
freaked me out

1180
00:57:16,970 --> 00:57:14,760
and I never met his father I had a few

1181
00:57:18,309 --> 00:57:16,980
opportunities to I didn't I didn't want

1182
00:57:22,130 --> 00:57:18,319
to meet somebody

1183
00:57:26,210 --> 00:57:22,140
that lived like that now as I went

1184
00:57:28,730 --> 00:57:26,220
through life I found this time and time

1185
00:57:31,069 --> 00:57:28,740
and time again

1186
00:57:31,910 --> 00:57:31,079
and I don't understand that that world

1187
00:57:34,430 --> 00:57:31,920
view

1188
00:57:36,950 --> 00:57:34,440
how can that

1189
00:57:40,190 --> 00:57:36,960
be the meaning of life what it what is

1190
00:57:43,370 --> 00:57:40,200
your goal while you are here what is

1191
00:57:45,890 --> 00:57:43,380
truly your goal

1192
00:57:48,829 --> 00:57:45,900
right but is it is it really just

1193
00:57:50,809 --> 00:57:48,839
material things and not to care about

1194
00:57:53,390 --> 00:57:50,819
others or anything else and to live this

1195
00:57:54,530 --> 00:57:53,400
self-centered existence

1196
00:58:01,670 --> 00:57:54,540
right

1197
00:58:03,290 --> 00:58:01,680
maybe maybe you're not mean okay all

1198
00:58:05,329 --> 00:58:03,300
right that that doesn't that doesn't

1199
00:58:07,309 --> 00:58:05,339
balance it out

1200
00:58:09,470 --> 00:58:07,319
it certainly doesn't and I I don't

1201
00:58:12,710 --> 00:58:09,480
understand that lifestyle

1202
00:58:15,170 --> 00:58:12,720
I don't the house freaked me out after

1203
00:58:18,049 --> 00:58:15,180
that the pool freaked me out the diving

1204
00:58:20,450 --> 00:58:18,059
board freaked me out the garage

1205
00:58:23,150 --> 00:58:20,460
freaked me out

1206
00:58:25,309 --> 00:58:23,160
never seen anything like it

1207
00:58:27,170 --> 00:58:25,319

Lama

1357
01:05:17,870 --> 01:05:12,839
it's love

1358
01:05:23,089 --> 01:05:17,880
to them but if they tell you you go to

1359
01:05:26,510 --> 01:05:23,099
anybody any one of these Guru big brain

1360
01:05:29,030 --> 01:05:26,520
thinkers that are going to give you a

1361
01:05:31,309 --> 01:05:29,040
list of qualifications or the British

1362
01:05:35,270 --> 01:05:31,319
government right of what the meaning of

1363
01:05:40,190 --> 01:05:35,280
life is if they if if if

1364
01:05:43,549 --> 01:05:40,200
if any of them so uh so Guru

1365
01:05:45,890 --> 01:05:43,559
what's the meaning of life love

1366
01:05:49,450 --> 01:05:45,900
that's it

1367
01:05:53,150 --> 01:05:49,460
really I mean I was thinking that

1368
01:05:55,069 --> 01:05:53,160
but really it's that simple it's that

1369
01:05:57,230 --> 01:05:55,079
simple

1370
01:05:59,210 --> 01:05:57,240
but what about what about this this this

1371
01:06:03,530 --> 01:05:59,220
is It's Love

1372
01:06:07,730 --> 01:06:03,540
but but I thought that my job it's love

1373
01:06:09,309 --> 01:06:07,740
okay all right so by dropping that one

1374
01:06:15,589 --> 01:06:09,319
word

1375
01:06:18,589 --> 01:06:15,599
their books their thing it's worthless

1376
01:06:21,410 --> 01:06:18,599
so they can't tell you that the meaning

1377
01:06:22,670 --> 01:06:21,420
of life is low

1378
01:06:25,849 --> 01:06:22,680
because

1379
01:06:27,770 --> 01:06:25,859
that negates their purpose right they

1380
01:06:30,490 --> 01:06:27,780
can't do that they've got to dangle that

1381
01:06:33,049 --> 01:06:30,500
carrot out there if they came at you

1382
01:06:34,190 --> 01:06:33,059
with that one word

1383
01:06:37,010 --> 01:06:34,200
love

1384
01:06:39,230 --> 01:06:37,020
because it all makes sense then

1385
01:06:42,170 --> 01:06:39,240
it all makes sense it's it's just like

1386
01:06:45,470 --> 01:06:42,180
wow

1387
01:06:48,910 --> 01:06:45,480
really I mean the Beatles sang about it

1388
01:06:56,630 --> 01:06:52,430
that's it

1389
01:06:58,329 --> 01:06:56,640
you know we go to the fundamental

1390
01:07:05,150 --> 01:06:58,339
questions

1391
01:07:08,210 --> 01:07:05,160
on each one of them

1392
01:07:09,289 --> 01:07:08,220
right what is the meaning of life love

1393
01:07:12,109 --> 01:07:09,299
okay

1394
01:07:15,010 --> 01:07:12,119
why are we here love

1395
01:07:19,849 --> 01:07:15,020
right that's some deep philosophical

1396
01:07:23,390 --> 01:07:19,859
existential crazy complex thing that is

1397
01:07:26,930 --> 01:07:23,400
going to throw you off the scent

1398
01:07:29,990 --> 01:07:26,940
what is life all about love

1399
01:07:34,309 --> 01:07:30,000
wow really

1400
01:07:37,190 --> 01:07:34,319
it seems so simple

1401
01:07:40,430 --> 01:07:37,200
love yeah yeah love

1402
01:07:43,010 --> 01:07:40,440
what is the purpose of existence

1403
01:07:45,609 --> 01:07:43,020
love

1404
01:07:50,390 --> 01:07:45,619
there is nothing like that feeling

1405
01:07:54,230 --> 01:07:50,400
there's simply nothing that is what

1406
01:08:00,410 --> 01:07:56,630
the pursuit

1407
01:08:04,990 --> 01:08:03,470
we've all done it when we were 10. oh

1408
01:08:06,950 --> 01:08:05,000
yeah

1409
01:08:11,569 --> 01:08:06,960
Valentine's Day

1410
01:08:14,750 --> 01:08:11,579
right and and and you've got your

1411
01:08:16,550 --> 01:08:14,760
your fourth grade you got your paperback

1412
01:08:18,650 --> 01:08:16,560
of Valentine's that you filled out the

1413
01:08:20,930 --> 01:08:18,660
night before with your mom

1414
01:08:22,490 --> 01:08:20,940
and uh you gotta and you're gonna hand

1415
01:08:27,530 --> 01:08:22,500
out the Valentine's Day but there's one

1416
01:08:27,540 --> 01:08:30,709
that's right

1417
01:08:38,950 --> 01:08:32,930
love

1418
01:08:44,990 --> 01:08:42,410
you go back to my comments about my

1419
01:08:47,329 --> 01:08:45,000
friend in in the in the house is his

1420
01:08:49,189 --> 01:08:47,339
dad's house that I went to and you see

1421
01:08:51,349 --> 01:08:49,199
this cold existence and you see this

1422
01:08:54,769 --> 01:08:51,359
example there

1423
01:08:56,930 --> 01:08:54,779
right and no matter how

1424
01:08:59,950 --> 01:08:56,940
this Father Figure is going to project

1425
01:09:04,130 --> 01:08:59,960
himself and it's certainly on on his son

1426
01:09:07,430 --> 01:09:04,140
and in a belief system and everything I

1427
01:09:09,650 --> 01:09:07,440
get I guarantee you no matter what he

1428
01:09:12,769 --> 01:09:09,660
has to say oh man the meaning of life is

1429
01:09:15,829 --> 01:09:12,779
just having things because after it's

1430
01:09:17,570 --> 01:09:15,839
all over he's lying

1431
01:09:20,390 --> 01:09:17,580
he's lying

1432
01:09:21,890 --> 01:09:20,400
he wants to feel love

1433
01:09:24,410 --> 01:09:21,900
yeah

1434
01:09:28,010 --> 01:09:24,420
he must have because he had his son

1435
01:09:33,050 --> 01:09:28,020
didn't he did he have a relationship

1436
01:09:34,610 --> 01:09:33,060
ah was he in love with his wife maybe

1437
01:09:36,829 --> 01:09:34,620
they got divorced later I don't know but

1438
01:09:39,370 --> 01:09:36,839
he felt the feeling

1439
01:09:42,950 --> 01:09:39,380
and he knows what it's about so to say

1440
01:09:45,650 --> 01:09:42,960
that this is what life is all about

1441
01:09:48,530 --> 01:09:45,660
right life is all about getting rid of

1442
01:09:52,010 --> 01:09:48,540
the man to have purpose no

1443
01:09:58,189 --> 01:09:55,150
with all of these deep deep

1444
01:10:02,570 --> 01:09:58,199
philosophical and scientific and

1445
01:10:05,209 --> 01:10:02,580
Theological takes on on all of this even

1446
01:10:07,010 --> 01:10:05,219
the metaphysical

1447
01:10:11,630 --> 01:10:07,020
it's love

1448
01:10:15,229 --> 01:10:11,640
is Central and is the core to each one

1449
01:10:20,149 --> 01:10:15,239
of those I dare say belief systems and

1450
01:10:24,950 --> 01:10:22,070
love is right there it's right in the

1451
01:10:29,990 --> 01:10:27,890
I talked about uh The Hitchhiker's Guide

1452
01:10:32,750 --> 01:10:30,000
uh to the universe

1453
01:10:34,729 --> 01:10:32,760
what if what if deep thought that

1454
01:10:37,669 --> 01:10:34,739
computer spit that out

1455
01:10:40,370 --> 01:10:37,679
and it wasn't 42.

1456
01:10:41,689 --> 01:10:40,380
which is simple right but spit that out

1457
01:10:42,890 --> 01:10:41,699
love

1458
01:10:45,950 --> 01:10:42,900
right

1459
01:10:47,930 --> 01:10:45,960
it makes a lot of sense

1460
01:10:49,790 --> 01:10:47,940
now I'm not saying that Doug Adams

1461
01:10:52,070 --> 01:10:49,800
missed the mark he wrote his book and he

1462
01:10:55,130 --> 01:10:52,080
put 42 in there and he forced us all to

1463
01:10:56,870 --> 01:10:55,140
think and have conversations about this

1464
01:11:02,030 --> 01:10:56,880
but yeah

1465
01:11:05,030 --> 01:11:02,040
and so if we swing this back around

1466
01:11:08,350 --> 01:11:05,040
to happiness

1467
01:11:12,530 --> 01:11:08,360
right now

1468
01:11:14,750 --> 01:11:12,540
the the again the classic the classic

1469
01:11:17,209 --> 01:11:14,760
presentation of a square is a rectangle

1470
01:11:18,830 --> 01:11:17,219
but a rectangle is not a square thing

1471
01:11:26,090 --> 01:11:18,840
the

1472
01:11:32,270 --> 01:11:29,570
that brings happiness it should

1473
01:11:35,330 --> 01:11:32,280
so that's why it one is not the other

1474
01:11:37,689 --> 01:11:35,340
happiness is not love you can find

1475
01:11:42,229 --> 01:11:37,699
happiness in

1476
01:11:45,229 --> 01:11:42,239
and working out you can find happiness

1477
01:11:47,870 --> 01:11:45,239
in in writing a great screenplay you can

1478
01:11:51,110 --> 01:11:47,880
find happiness and and so many different

1479
01:11:54,110 --> 01:11:51,120
things but that's not love but if you

1480
01:11:58,070 --> 01:11:54,120
find love then you get your happiness is

1481
01:12:01,270 --> 01:11:58,080
bliss love no Bliss is not Bliss is that

1482
01:12:04,910 --> 01:12:01,280
internal thing that only you know about

1483
01:12:06,410 --> 01:12:04,920
only you only you you know and some

1484
01:12:09,950 --> 01:12:06,420
people

1485
01:12:14,209 --> 01:12:09,960
um uh we'll discuss Bliss and we'll

1486
01:12:17,570 --> 01:12:14,219
discuss what it is and it I mean could

1487
01:12:20,390 --> 01:12:17,580
Bliss be love I don't I don't think so

1488
01:12:23,630 --> 01:12:20,400
I don't think so anything is possible

1489
01:12:25,550 --> 01:12:23,640
but what I am suggesting here

1490
01:12:28,070 --> 01:12:25,560
is that

1491
01:12:31,250 --> 01:12:28,080
most people don't talk about Bliss

1492
01:12:33,350 --> 01:12:31,260
because they haven't done it and they

1493
01:12:35,450 --> 01:12:33,360
don't want to hear

1494
01:12:37,070 --> 01:12:35,460
from everybody

1495
01:12:38,390 --> 01:12:37,080
well why don't you just go and do that

1496
01:12:40,189 --> 01:12:38,400
then

1497
01:12:42,350 --> 01:12:40,199
they don't want to hear that what are

1498
01:12:44,270 --> 01:12:42,360
you waiting for I didn't know that about

1499
01:12:46,790 --> 01:12:44,280
you why why are you sitting on your

1500
01:12:48,530 --> 01:12:46,800
hands life is short

1501
01:12:49,729 --> 01:12:48,540
go and do it they don't want to hear

1502
01:12:51,590 --> 01:12:49,739
that

1503
01:12:52,750 --> 01:12:51,600
they don't want to reveal it because

1504
01:12:55,010 --> 01:12:52,760
they don't want to hear it

1505
01:12:57,709 --> 01:12:55,020
procrastination is a tough thing I fight

1506
01:12:59,689 --> 01:12:57,719
that I fight that demon every single day

1507
01:13:03,229 --> 01:12:59,699
man I will put something off till

1508
01:13:06,169 --> 01:13:03,239
tomorrow like man if if I've got a fault

1509
01:13:08,149 --> 01:13:06,179
it's that right and we all do and that's

1510
01:13:09,830 --> 01:13:08,159
the problem with bliss is

1511
01:13:12,850 --> 01:13:09,840
procrastination I'll do it next week

1512
01:13:17,390 --> 01:13:12,860
I'll do it next week

1513
01:13:19,010 --> 01:13:17,400
definitely in six months I'm going back

1514
01:13:20,750 --> 01:13:19,020
to school I'm gonna go do this I'm

1515
01:13:22,729 --> 01:13:20,760
definitely gonna and then next thing you

1516
01:13:25,490 --> 01:13:22,739
know right but that's

1517
01:13:28,070 --> 01:13:25,500
that's why it can't be love I'm gonna

1518
01:13:32,390 --> 01:13:28,080
I'm gonna find love next week I'm I'm

1519
01:13:33,950 --> 01:13:32,400
not uh love is in my Bliss box on the

1520
01:13:36,590 --> 01:13:33,960
shelf and I'm not going to mess with no

1521
01:13:38,090 --> 01:13:36,600
no no no no no no no no

1522
01:13:40,010 --> 01:13:38,100
but

1523
01:13:43,250 --> 01:13:40,020
you find love

1524
01:13:44,689 --> 01:13:43,260
and you reveal your bliss you're gonna

1525
01:13:46,610 --> 01:13:44,699
be around somebody that's going to go

1526
01:13:49,610 --> 01:13:46,620
dude go

1527
01:13:52,370 --> 01:13:49,620
I am here for this is man

1528
01:13:53,750 --> 01:13:52,380
you know and and that's why happiness

1529
01:13:56,450 --> 01:13:53,760
and Bliss

1530
01:13:59,390 --> 01:13:56,460
can reveal itself with love and that's

1531
01:14:01,189 --> 01:13:59,400
why it's that classic square is a

1532
01:14:02,209 --> 01:14:01,199
rectangle but a rectangle is not a

1533
01:14:04,550 --> 01:14:02,219
square

1534
01:14:07,689 --> 01:14:04,560
it's it's exactly why that comes into

1535
01:14:10,790 --> 01:14:07,699
play and I know that a lot of you

1536
01:14:13,189 --> 01:14:10,800
see see exactly and hear exactly what

1537
01:14:14,090 --> 01:14:13,199
I'm saying right now yeah that's right

1538
01:14:17,570 --> 01:14:14,100
yeah

1539
01:14:21,229 --> 01:14:17,580
I happiness would come out of that and

1540
01:14:22,490 --> 01:14:21,239
so therefore happiness could be the

1541
01:14:25,970 --> 01:14:22,500
meaning of life

1542
01:14:28,370 --> 01:14:25,980
right if it comes out of love

1543
01:14:31,850 --> 01:14:28,380
is the basis of everything

1544
01:14:33,530 --> 01:14:31,860
you know and when we take a what we we

1545
01:14:35,689 --> 01:14:33,540
take a hard look back

1546
01:14:38,689 --> 01:14:35,699
and we discuss something like ontology

1547
01:14:39,610 --> 01:14:38,699
which is the science of being

1548
01:14:42,770 --> 01:14:39,620
um

1549
01:14:45,709 --> 01:14:42,780
that whole outlook

1550
01:14:47,870 --> 01:14:45,719
their whole Manifesto if you look at

1551
01:14:48,890 --> 01:14:47,880
that and they stuck the word love in

1552
01:14:51,590 --> 01:14:48,900
there

1553
01:14:57,590 --> 01:14:51,600
it would all make sense

1554
01:15:01,010 --> 01:14:57,600
many love is a is a self-centered thing

1555
01:15:05,689 --> 01:15:01,020
and I I get that I I totally totally get

1556
01:15:09,950 --> 01:15:05,699
it I totally totally understand right I

1557
01:15:12,709 --> 01:15:09,960
do and so in the science of being

1558
01:15:14,510 --> 01:15:12,719
if if that's what you want to do if you

1559
01:15:18,430 --> 01:15:14,520
want to be that self-centered and make

1560
01:15:21,590 --> 01:15:18,440
make love your your

1561
01:15:23,689 --> 01:15:21,600
ontological view which is a word by the

1562
01:15:26,630 --> 01:15:23,699
way that's fine

1563
01:15:30,590 --> 01:15:26,640
but it's love that will give you the

1564
01:15:33,470 --> 01:15:30,600
meaning of life and when we we go back

1565
01:15:37,010 --> 01:15:33,480
and and look at something like

1566
01:15:39,770 --> 01:15:37,020
um uh Paul Wong's four-point system

1567
01:15:42,050 --> 01:15:39,780
I want to go over this one more time

1568
01:15:44,030 --> 01:15:42,060
because now that you know that love is

1569
01:15:48,110 --> 01:15:44,040
the meaning of life

1570
01:15:51,169 --> 01:15:48,120
when you listen to this

1571
01:15:54,050 --> 01:15:51,179
you you understand why Paul Wong is

1572
01:15:57,110 --> 01:15:54,060
wrong he's completely off of the Mark

1573
01:16:00,050 --> 01:15:57,120
he's not even close to being

1574
01:16:01,970 --> 01:16:00,060
part of reality here because his

1575
01:16:04,189 --> 01:16:01,980
four-point system and this is something

1576
01:16:06,590 --> 01:16:04,199
that is published

1577
01:16:09,169 --> 01:16:06,600
right you need to choose a worthy

1578
01:16:11,330 --> 01:16:09,179
purpose or a significant life goal that

1579
01:16:13,910 --> 01:16:11,340
is not the meaning of life

1580
01:16:16,070 --> 01:16:13,920
it's not even close love is the meaning

1581
01:16:17,810 --> 01:16:16,080
of life

1582
01:16:21,410 --> 01:16:17,820
his second point you need to have

1583
01:16:23,990 --> 01:16:21,420
sufficient understanding of who you are

1584
01:16:27,890 --> 01:16:24,000
what does that even mean what life

1585
01:16:30,649 --> 01:16:27,900
demands of you that's not love

1586
01:16:32,750 --> 01:16:30,659
and how you can play a significant role

1587
01:16:35,570 --> 01:16:32,760
in life no

1588
01:16:38,030 --> 01:16:35,580
no he's just completely wrong

1589
01:16:39,950 --> 01:16:38,040
you and you alone are responsible for

1590
01:16:43,850 --> 01:16:39,960
deciding what kind of life you want to

1591
01:16:45,350 --> 01:16:43,860
live again he is wrong you will enjoy a

1592
01:16:47,030 --> 01:16:45,360
deep sense of significance and

1593
01:16:48,950 --> 01:16:47,040
satisfaction only when you have

1594
01:16:52,250 --> 01:16:48,960
exercised your responsibility for

1595
01:16:55,790 --> 01:16:52,260
self-determination and actively pursue a

1596
01:16:58,010 --> 01:16:55,800
worthy life goal he can't be farther off

1597
01:17:01,070 --> 01:16:58,020
of the mark

1598
01:17:03,770 --> 01:17:01,080
he can't so if Paul Wong

1599
01:17:05,090 --> 01:17:03,780
again I'm going to say that it's just a

1600
01:17:08,990 --> 01:17:05,100
load of crap

1601
01:17:12,229 --> 01:17:09,000
but he he this is his

1602
01:17:15,350 --> 01:17:12,239
personal definition

1603
01:17:22,370 --> 01:17:19,910
he when he lists and it it's so funny

1604
01:17:25,669 --> 01:17:22,380
for for somebody with a deep

1605
01:17:27,709 --> 01:17:25,679
philosophical view like Paul Wong and

1606
01:17:29,810 --> 01:17:27,719
you go okay so Paul

1607
01:17:31,430 --> 01:17:29,820
um you're you're a psychiatrist man and

1608
01:17:33,050 --> 01:17:31,440
and and I did you know I'm having

1609
01:17:35,890 --> 01:17:33,060
trouble understanding what's going on

1610
01:17:39,410 --> 01:17:35,900
and I really need the meaning of life

1611
01:17:41,990 --> 01:17:39,420
and and if Paul turns to him and says

1612
01:17:43,970 --> 01:17:42,000
man it's love

1613
01:17:46,910 --> 01:17:43,980
he doesn't have to say Ben the purpose

1614
01:17:48,410 --> 01:17:46,920
of life man is is to have a purpose it's

1615
01:17:51,050 --> 01:17:48,420
to have understanding it's

1616
01:17:52,130 --> 01:17:51,060
responsibility and enjoyment you get

1617
01:17:53,810 --> 01:17:52,140
through those four things you're gonna

1618
01:17:56,090 --> 01:17:53,820
have the meaning of you are not telling

1619
01:17:59,570 --> 01:17:56,100
anybody anything first off anything that

1620
01:18:04,370 --> 01:18:02,510
but you're sending them down the wrong

1621
01:18:07,250 --> 01:18:04,380
path

1622
01:18:09,530 --> 01:18:07,260
it's unbelievable to me

1623
01:18:11,510 --> 01:18:09,540
it's unbelievable when we get into

1624
01:18:14,090 --> 01:18:11,520
things like ethics

1625
01:18:16,729 --> 01:18:14,100
and uh you know Free Will and making

1626
01:18:19,490 --> 01:18:16,739
your own decisions it doesn't make any

1627
01:18:21,169 --> 01:18:19,500
sense to me when you when you look at

1628
01:18:23,570 --> 01:18:21,179
the legalists

1629
01:18:26,270 --> 01:18:23,580
and I I listed all of this for a reason

1630
01:18:28,990 --> 01:18:26,280
but when you look at the legalists who

1631
01:18:31,910 --> 01:18:29,000
literally believe

1632
01:18:33,890 --> 01:18:31,920
that the purpose of life is a

1633
01:18:34,850 --> 01:18:33,900
meaningless effort even thinking about

1634
01:18:37,850 --> 01:18:34,860
it

1635
01:18:41,090 --> 01:18:37,860
just doesn't make any sense right

1636
01:18:44,830 --> 01:18:41,100
that only practical knowledge is is is

1637
01:18:48,350 --> 01:18:44,840
the meaning of life

1638
01:18:49,729 --> 01:18:48,360
they wouldn't have if if it was all

1639
01:18:52,430 --> 01:18:49,739
switched around

1640
01:18:55,729 --> 01:18:52,440
and you you just can't do it because the

1641
01:18:58,310 --> 01:18:55,739
belief systems are so ingrained but if

1642
01:19:02,090 --> 01:18:58,320
you wanted to jump in to the legalist

1643
01:19:06,110 --> 01:19:02,100
Community the Confucianism community

1644
01:19:08,450 --> 01:19:06,120
right the scientific community and

1645
01:19:10,310 --> 01:19:08,460
inject love into all of their

1646
01:19:12,890 --> 01:19:10,320
conversations about the meaning of life

1647
01:19:14,750 --> 01:19:12,900
and they're gonna come back and try to

1648
01:19:17,530 --> 01:19:14,760
argue that they can't

1649
01:19:21,050 --> 01:19:17,540
because when you get into the scientific

1650
01:19:23,030 --> 01:19:21,060
modality that understanding the brain is

1651
01:19:25,070 --> 01:19:23,040
the meaning of life and once we've got

1652
01:19:27,830 --> 01:19:25,080
that figured out all life answers are

1653
01:19:29,330 --> 01:19:27,840
going to be there it's it's simply an

1654
01:19:36,169 --> 01:19:29,340
untruth

1655
01:19:39,709 --> 01:19:36,179
saying that no scientist uh will ever be

1656
01:19:41,990 --> 01:19:39,719
married or fall in love or have kids

1657
01:19:43,550 --> 01:19:42,000
you know and which is what life is all

1658
01:19:48,110 --> 01:19:43,560
about

1659
01:19:53,450 --> 01:19:50,510
I will stick to this

1660
01:19:56,990 --> 01:19:53,460
love is the meaning of life

1661
01:20:00,229 --> 01:19:57,000
now with with me I mean me personally

1662
01:20:01,790 --> 01:20:00,239
I'm not any different than than all of

1663
01:20:03,709 --> 01:20:01,800
you

1664
01:20:07,189 --> 01:20:03,719
I'm simply not

1665
01:20:09,229 --> 01:20:07,199
you know I've had uh I've had those a

1666
01:20:11,870 --> 01:20:09,239
few instances in my life I could

1667
01:20:14,390 --> 01:20:11,880
probably count them on one hand where

1668
01:20:18,169 --> 01:20:14,400
you know holy you know you had that holy

1669
01:20:21,410 --> 01:20:18,179
crap moment and I was at um

1670
01:20:23,810 --> 01:20:21,420
I was at a trade show and I think it was

1671
01:20:26,090 --> 01:20:23,820
in New York it might have uh it might

1672
01:20:27,890 --> 01:20:26,100
have been Las Vegas

1673
01:20:31,070 --> 01:20:27,900
um I'm at a trade show

1674
01:20:32,689 --> 01:20:31,080
and a group of people came up and one of

1675
01:20:34,669 --> 01:20:32,699
the guys I knew and there was like five

1676
01:20:37,729 --> 01:20:34,679
people and

1677
01:20:40,250 --> 01:20:37,739
um and this is deeply personal but we've

1678
01:20:41,870 --> 01:20:40,260
all had this experience right

1679
01:20:43,010 --> 01:20:41,880
where

1680
01:20:47,330 --> 01:20:43,020
um

1681
01:20:50,149 --> 01:20:47,340
I get introduced I make eye contact

1682
01:20:52,689 --> 01:20:50,159
with this woman in this group

1683
01:20:59,209 --> 01:20:52,699
and it was

1684
01:20:59,219 --> 01:21:02,630
four-day convention

1685
01:21:08,270 --> 01:21:05,510
Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

1686
01:21:10,209 --> 01:21:08,280
right that was a Thursday morning that

1687
01:21:12,770 --> 01:21:10,219
happened

1688
01:21:15,709 --> 01:21:12,780
ruined by convention

1689
01:21:17,570 --> 01:21:15,719
I couldn't think

1690
01:21:19,370 --> 01:21:17,580
I couldn't talk I couldn't do anything

1691
01:21:21,470 --> 01:21:19,380
for four days

1692
01:21:23,209 --> 01:21:21,480
what bap

1693
01:21:24,470 --> 01:21:23,219
right now

1694
01:21:26,810 --> 01:21:24,480
um

1695
01:21:30,110 --> 01:21:26,820
never saw her again

1696
01:21:33,649 --> 01:21:30,120
I'm not not suggesting anything right

1697
01:21:36,290 --> 01:21:33,659
but that feeling

1698
01:21:39,229 --> 01:21:36,300
that feeling

1699
01:21:42,229 --> 01:21:39,239
friggin incredible

1700
01:21:45,290 --> 01:21:42,239
it was incredible we hung out for three

1701
01:21:47,930 --> 01:21:45,300
four days and and talked and ate and had

1702
01:21:50,750 --> 01:21:47,940
dinner and then boom

1703
01:21:52,430 --> 01:21:50,760
she flew back to Europe and that was the

1704
01:21:54,530 --> 01:21:52,440
end of it

1705
01:21:57,590 --> 01:21:54,540
right

1706
01:22:00,290 --> 01:21:57,600
that feeling that is what life is all

1707
01:22:05,090 --> 01:22:02,810
I'm going to leave you with this thought

1708
01:22:08,149 --> 01:22:05,100
are we the only species on this planet

1709
01:22:11,330 --> 01:22:08,159
that that does that

1710
01:22:12,290 --> 01:22:11,340
and I'm not so sure that that is the

1711
01:22:14,450 --> 01:22:12,300
case

1712
01:22:16,070 --> 01:22:14,460
I'm not so sure

1713
01:22:18,950 --> 01:22:16,080
I think dogs

1714
01:22:21,590 --> 01:22:18,960
they're not cats cats don't love they

1715
01:22:23,750 --> 01:22:21,600
don't they don't give a crap

1716
01:22:26,930 --> 01:22:23,760
dogs I think love

1717
01:22:30,350 --> 01:22:26,940
I think primates love

1718
01:22:33,169 --> 01:22:30,360
you can you can see that interaction

1719
01:22:36,290 --> 01:22:33,179
um in those groups I think Dolphins love

1720
01:22:39,890 --> 01:22:36,300
you know and and certainty octopus I

1721
01:22:42,229 --> 01:22:39,900
think they love I I I truly do

1722
01:22:44,149 --> 01:22:42,239
um they they know what that feeling is

1723
01:22:45,709 --> 01:22:44,159
and you can see it in primary you can

1724
01:22:49,490 --> 01:22:45,719
see it in dogs

1725
01:22:52,430 --> 01:22:49,500
right and and there's nothing worse

1726
01:22:54,950 --> 01:22:52,440
right than getting separated from your

1727
01:22:55,669 --> 01:22:54,960
dog man for whatever reason that goes

1728
01:22:58,130 --> 01:22:55,679
down

1729
01:23:01,189 --> 01:22:58,140
it wrecks you

1730
01:23:02,930 --> 01:23:01,199
because that's love right that that you

1731
01:23:06,229 --> 01:23:02,940
want that feeling you want that feeling

1732
01:23:08,450 --> 01:23:06,239
and you will go out and get a puppy

1733
01:23:10,970 --> 01:23:08,460
the next day

1734
01:23:12,950 --> 01:23:10,980
because you want that feeling back

1735
01:23:14,990 --> 01:23:12,960
I want that back

1736
01:23:19,010 --> 01:23:15,000
and that's what life is all about it

1737
01:23:21,530 --> 01:23:19,020
isn't about cars cars are nice I love

1738
01:23:24,649 --> 01:23:21,540
cars it's not about watches it's not

1739
01:23:28,729 --> 01:23:24,659
about shoes or clothes or houses all

1740
01:23:30,590 --> 01:23:28,739
those things are nice they make life you

1741
01:23:32,870 --> 01:23:30,600
know pretty cool

1742
01:23:34,550 --> 01:23:32,880
but it's not the meaning of life

1743
01:23:38,689 --> 01:23:34,560
it's not the material things the

1744
01:23:43,189 --> 01:23:38,699
material things make life fun

1745
01:23:45,590 --> 01:23:43,199
they do they do I um uh I I like

1746
01:23:49,010 --> 01:23:45,600
building models and I am in the middle

1747
01:23:50,750 --> 01:23:49,020
of this gnarly project right now

1748
01:23:53,270 --> 01:23:50,760
all right I'll give you an example of

1749
01:23:54,290 --> 01:23:53,280
material things that make you happy I'm

1750
01:23:58,450 --> 01:23:54,300

I love building models it's one of those

1785
01:25:39,770 --> 01:25:37,560
things but it's a material thing it's

1786
01:25:41,209 --> 01:25:39,780
not the meaning of life

1787
01:25:44,209 --> 01:25:41,219
it's something that makes me happy

1788
01:25:46,550 --> 01:25:44,219
obviously I love guitars I love working

1789
01:25:47,630 --> 01:25:46,560
on guitars but they're just material

1790
01:25:50,330 --> 01:25:47,640
things

1791
01:25:53,930 --> 01:25:50,340
it's not love

1792
01:25:56,689 --> 01:25:53,940

01:26:08,870 --> 01:26:06,840
I want that feeling and the only way is

1798
01:26:11,930 --> 01:26:08,880
to live life and that's the meaning of

1799
01:26:13,790 --> 01:26:11,940
life and to go and find it once again

1800
01:26:17,689 --> 01:26:13,800
