1
00:00:09,709 --> 00:00:06,680
a good afternoon to everyone it's a bit

2
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:09,719
of a change of tempo I've been listening

3
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:13,530
to wonderful talks and very precise

4
00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:18,090
sunken and concise terms and now we move

5
00:00:21,890 --> 00:00:19,470
into a domain that's a little more

6
00:00:24,620 --> 00:00:21,900
philosophy and i hope to be just as

7
00:00:26,810 --> 00:00:24,630
precise but for me it's a little more

8
00:00:29,870 --> 00:00:26,820
difficult and more well it's difficult

9
00:00:31,970 --> 00:00:29,880
anyway we'll see how it goes the subject

10
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:31,980
intent and the process of becoming

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:37,530
conscious and this as this subject is a

12
00:00:43,459 --> 00:00:41,010
vast subject the hope I have is of going

13
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:43,469
into one small element of shining a

14
00:00:50,389 --> 00:00:47,280
light in in one small area of it which

15
00:00:54,010 --> 00:00:50,399
is the area of concept formation how do

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:54,020
we form concepts what are concepts and

17
00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:57,690
if we can just handle that little bit

18
00:01:02,689 --> 00:01:00,480
because it's not it's quite in the

19
00:01:04,759 --> 00:01:02,699
center of things since there's it's

20
00:01:07,969 --> 00:01:04,769
about the relationship between subject

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:07,979
and its object the knower and the known

22
00:01:15,850 --> 00:01:13,650
the observer and the observed so the

23
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:15,860
role of intent in concept formation

24
00:01:23,330 --> 00:01:18,630
intent this is what we'll be talking

25
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:23,340
about intent what is it concepts how do

26
00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:27,840
they arise ma just a brief look at

27
00:01:35,149 --> 00:01:31,350
intent and causality and some

28
00:01:39,770 --> 00:01:35,159
implications of it all now as a starting

29
00:01:42,460 --> 00:01:39,780
point I want to take a letter to the New

30
00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:42,470
Scientist in the most recent edition

31
00:01:47,690 --> 00:01:45,630
that was a short letter that was

32
00:01:49,639 --> 00:01:47,700
referring to an article that was there

33
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:49,649
earlier but that was published earlier

34
00:01:58,639 --> 00:01:53,280
by David Bainbridge and this is what the

35
00:02:01,730 --> 00:01:58,649
letter said a David Bainbridge

36
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:01,740
description of consciousness including

37
00:02:06,609 --> 00:02:04,200
for example the fact that we do not know

38
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:06,619
where in the brain consciousness happens

39
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:10,490
was evocative Scott

40
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:13,330
mcleod in his book understanding comics

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:17,090
describes the comics story as whatever

42
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:19,010
is happening in the blank spaces between

43
00:02:29,410 --> 00:02:24,320
the panels and he goes on to say this

44
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:29,420
oops sorry what if in our minds what of

45
00:02:35,620 --> 00:02:32,720
our minds function like a comic they

46
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:35,630
snap pictures and our consciousness is

47
00:02:40,510 --> 00:02:37,910
simply the story the mind construct

48
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:40,520
surround these pictures I let you take a

49
00:02:53,660 --> 00:02:49,050
second look now

50
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:53,670
I pick up three points from this one

51
00:02:59,930 --> 00:02:56,610
point seems to be the suggestion that

52
00:03:04,240 --> 00:02:59,940
the crucial part is happening outside of

53
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:04,250
consciousness not in the conscious mind

54
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:08,640
the second point that I consider is the

55
00:03:18,250 --> 00:03:13,200
fact that the mind is consciousness and

56
00:03:21,590 --> 00:03:18,260
unconsciousness it's one system working

57
00:03:25,130 --> 00:03:21,600
apparently in two manners this is not

58
00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:25,140
dare directly stated it's not denied and

59
00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:27,870
not stated in this and the third point

60
00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:31,590
is the point that's left out and it's

61
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:34,500
left out very commonly in discussions of

62
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:38,310
this sort and that is the question of

63
00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:43,530
intent and the implication of intent in

64
00:03:55,610 --> 00:03:47,040
this hole in in in in in the working of

65
00:04:01,030 --> 00:03:55,620
the mind so a let's move there what is

66
00:04:05,690 --> 00:04:01,040
intent let's say you have the intent to

67
00:04:09,310 --> 00:04:05,700
overtake a vehicle on the road you want

68
00:04:12,250 --> 00:04:09,320
to pass someone up where is that intent

69
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:12,260
you might have the thought in your mind

70
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:17,370
but the thought isn't yet the intent the

71
00:04:25,340 --> 00:04:23,250
intent is somewhere deeper the intent to

72
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:25,350
overtake is something you feel more of

73
00:04:31,610 --> 00:04:29,730
this viscerally you have a muscle

74
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:31,620
tension you have maybe a facial

75
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:33,690
expression that goes with it you clasp

76
00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:36,570
the the the wheel a little tighter the

77
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:39,360
driving wheel and so forth it works

78
00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:41,040
through the whole muscular system and

79
00:04:47,630 --> 00:04:44,790
the maybe the blood and the heart and in

80
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:47,640
the end of it all if we're looking for

81
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:50,310
the origin of intent we've got to go

82
00:04:57,290 --> 00:04:56,160
into maybe every cell of the body on the

83
00:05:03,120 --> 00:04:57,300
other hand

84
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:03,130
if we look for the outcome the objective

85
00:05:13,050 --> 00:05:08,050
of intent it's very easy the objective

86
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:13,060
of it then to overtake is to overtake if

87
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:15,010
the OA Europe if you have the intent to

88
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:18,730
stand up the objective is to stand up if

89
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:22,090
you have the intent to be home at seven

90
00:05:28,380 --> 00:05:25,210
o'clock the intent in other words we

91
00:05:33,770 --> 00:05:28,390
name it by its endpoint by the outcome

92
00:05:38,190 --> 00:05:33,780
which is single and the origin of intent

93
00:05:41,610 --> 00:05:38,200
sort of gets lost it goes it multiplies

94
00:05:45,210 --> 00:05:41,620
becomes it's mullets multi-pronged going

95
00:05:48,090 --> 00:05:45,220
back a very rough diagram we can just

96
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:48,100
think of intent the outcome on on the

97
00:05:57,380 --> 00:05:52,810
right is singular and as we go back it

98
00:06:09,450 --> 00:05:57,390
sort of dissipates into the whole system

99
00:06:09,460 --> 00:06:17,510
hey wait wait you wait here will you

100
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:23,219
what what was in your mind well as doing

101
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:26,289
that what was happening what did you

102
00:06:34,140 --> 00:06:30,930
think well I'm doing that wait wait yes

103
00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:34,150
what what was going on now I could ask

104
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:35,919
this but we're not going to manage in 20

105
00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:38,289
minutes so what I do is very quickly I

106
00:06:42,330 --> 00:06:40,449
say with all the different things that

107
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:42,340
came and you imagined in your mind

108
00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:44,400
there's one place where you were all

109
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:48,550
were you all had the same had the same

110
00:06:59,370 --> 00:06:55,120
structure and that is unintended that

111
00:07:05,580 --> 00:06:59,380
you have here you all meet on it and

112
00:07:13,649 --> 00:07:05,590
what is that intent what is the intent

113
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:13,659
where we were all common yes we do to

114
00:07:18,570 --> 00:07:15,610
wonder what's going on yes but some of

115
00:07:21,749 --> 00:07:18,580
you might have thought yes something I

116
00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:21,759
was picking up something so the intent

117
00:07:30,810 --> 00:07:26,080
the intent was that there's something

118
00:07:34,770 --> 00:07:30,820
there so we all met on the intent that

119
00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:34,780
there be a thing that's very important

120
00:07:41,790 --> 00:07:37,870
it's not nothing the fact that there's

121
00:07:44,999 --> 00:07:41,800
has to be some entity there so we were

122
00:07:48,209 --> 00:07:45,009
all aiming at entity hood if you want to

123
00:07:50,129 --> 00:07:48,219
call it something that has to be at the

124
00:07:58,390 --> 00:07:50,139
end Kendra my board my next slide is yes

125
00:08:02,350 --> 00:07:58,400
so if we look at the oh it's moved

126
00:08:07,540 --> 00:08:02,360
there it comes and by the way you were

127
00:08:11,650 --> 00:08:07,550
right over there it is a ladybug yes see

128
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:11,660
and when I say the lady the word ladybug

129
00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:18,889
what comes into your mind yes again some

130
00:08:22,719 --> 00:08:20,479
people have an image some people have

131
00:08:24,490 --> 00:08:22,729
something that the memory that comes

132
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:24,500
back some people might see the word

133
00:08:28,210 --> 00:08:26,330
written up or hear the word or whatever

134
00:08:32,079 --> 00:08:28,220
it is but these are only the triggers of

135
00:08:35,469 --> 00:08:32,089
the concept the concept ladybug that you

136
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:35,479
have in your mind is actually myriad

137
00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:38,690
things coming together small it's red

138
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:41,680
it's spotted the whole idea of insect

139
00:08:48,070 --> 00:08:45,650
alive able to fly what's it doing inside

140
00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:48,080
in the room and memories that you have

141
00:08:53,019 --> 00:08:50,750
in all sorts of associations of maybe

142
00:08:55,540 --> 00:08:53,029
joy and beauty and there are so many

143
00:08:58,750 --> 00:08:55,550
things that all views together in that

144
00:09:03,730 --> 00:08:58,760
moment when you say when you come to the

145
00:09:06,940 --> 00:09:03,740
idea I'll form the concept ladybug how

146
00:09:10,660 --> 00:09:06,950
does that happen if it were the

147
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:10,670
irrational mind it couldn't do it all

148
00:09:15,630 --> 00:09:12,320
those things we can't think of all at

149
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:15,640
once in a sudden in a split second and

150
00:09:20,769 --> 00:09:18,170
even if we did it would be a compendium

151
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:20,779
of things it wouldn't be some one thing

152
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:26,510
fused like it was so what is actually

153
00:09:34,550 --> 00:09:30,450
going on at that moment

154
00:09:39,410 --> 00:09:34,560
and the answer to the problem comes back

155
00:09:41,690 --> 00:09:39,420
to what we said about intent intent you

156
00:09:44,540 --> 00:09:41,700
through the you throw the intent out of

157
00:09:48,980 --> 00:09:44,550
coming up with something and depending

158
00:09:52,460 --> 00:09:48,990
on what thing that is a whole area of

159
00:09:55,490 --> 00:09:52,470
qualities sort of change into attributes
