[Music]

2
00:00:16,810 --> 00:00:14,709
so we recognize that science is not

3
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:16,820
something magical or even something

4
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:19,610
fixed it's a man-made it's a social

5
00:00:24,730 --> 00:00:22,610
institution and the process of becoming

6
00:00:27,460 --> 00:00:24,740
the science we know today it's pushed

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:27,470
aside other perspectives on reality

8
00:00:35,170 --> 00:00:29,930
first religion and then some other

9
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:35,180
options sciences today mankind's

10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:37,910
greatest generator of new knowledge and

11
00:00:43,420 --> 00:00:40,489
it's also a verifier of new knowledge

12
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:43,430
regardless of where it comes from the

13
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:47,170
beta the database is absolutely huge

14
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:50,089
science is a major force in modern

15
00:00:56,740 --> 00:00:52,640
society like it or not and it has many

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:00:56,750
worldly classical consequences some good

17
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:00,170
some bad now science works through the

18
00:01:09,070 --> 00:01:03,110
societal paradigm within which we live

19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:09,080
and even though the paradigm was

20
00:01:15,310 --> 00:01:11,450
initiated by science starting a few

21
00:01:19,179 --> 00:01:15,320
hundred years ago the paradigm now

22
00:01:22,469 --> 00:01:19,189
pervades every aspect of modern life it

23
00:01:25,749 --> 00:01:22,479
controls the uses of science

24
00:01:28,679 --> 00:01:25,759
applications it has many practical

25
00:01:32,109 --> 00:01:28,689
effects upon mankind and his planet and

26
00:01:36,219 --> 00:01:32,119
it's prevalent and dominating presence

27
00:01:39,459 --> 00:01:36,229
for every one of us by golly whether

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:39,469
you're a scientist or you're not it

29
00:01:44,050 --> 00:01:41,570
governs how you think about yourself and

30
00:01:46,450 --> 00:01:44,060
your place in the world I got it sets

31
00:01:49,179 --> 00:01:46,460
much of your personal system of values

32
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:49,189
attitudes and beliefs if you don't

33
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:52,609
accept that just look a little deeper it

34
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:54,710
struggling influences your ability to

35
00:01:59,410 --> 00:01:56,810
discriminate from one thing into the

36
00:02:01,539 --> 00:01:59,420
next and the decisions that you make and

37
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:01,549
the relationships with people that you

38
00:02:08,770 --> 00:02:06,710
set up it's always there well science is

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:08,780
changing now I think you can agree with

40
00:02:13,690 --> 00:02:11,090
that and the paradigm is changing too

41
00:02:19,330 --> 00:02:13,700
although much slower it's going to take

42
00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:22,160
centered central to all of this is to

43
00:02:31,490 --> 00:02:24,769
understand the limitations of science

44
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:31,500
and how they're becoming more apparent

45
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:33,890
with every generation

46
00:02:39,259 --> 00:02:37,170
what are these shortcomings of modern

47
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:39,269
science let's spell them out

48
00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:42,510
many observed anomalous phenomena are

49
00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:45,209
taking place to which science has no

50
00:02:51,650 --> 00:02:48,030
understanding an explanation or even in

51
00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:51,660
many cases any means of exploring we all

52
00:02:57,229 --> 00:02:54,959
know about that one there occurring in

53
00:02:59,229 --> 00:02:57,239
psychology parapsychology the social

54
00:03:02,660 --> 00:02:59,239
sciences and even in quantum physics

55
00:03:05,539 --> 00:03:02,670
where human extension extends well

56
00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:05,549
beyond our senses and our instruments we

57
00:03:11,089 --> 00:03:08,400
know that now the human mind is an

58
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:11,099
active agent and the observations that

59
00:03:15,979 --> 00:03:12,930
were making the experiments that were

60
00:03:19,630 --> 00:03:15,989
conducting not especially in healing the

61
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:19,640
mind is involved for heaven's sakes

62
00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:22,110
there are instantaneous physical

63
00:03:26,150 --> 00:03:24,180
interactions that can occur over great

64
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:26,160
distances and some effects sometimes

65
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:30,090
precede their causes top-down effects

66
00:03:35,449 --> 00:03:33,450
are real as much as if not more than the

67
00:03:37,930 --> 00:03:35,459
bottom-up effects that we get through

68
00:03:40,370 --> 00:03:37,940
our reductionism

69
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:40,380
something's wrong with randomness it's

70
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:43,290
not exactly what we think it is there

71
00:03:49,250 --> 00:03:46,010
are hidden factors taking place

72
00:03:52,580 --> 00:03:49,260
double-blind experiments well we've been

73
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:52,590
living right in for a long time but we

74
00:03:56,090 --> 00:03:54,690
find out through our experiments that no

75
00:03:58,910 --> 00:03:56,100
one is fully blind

76
00:04:01,670 --> 00:03:58,920
how can you conduct a randomized control

77
00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:01,680
experiment when everybody knows at least

78
00:04:08,539 --> 00:04:04,430
at a subconscious level what's going on

79
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:08,549
the second major shortcoming is that

80
00:04:14,180 --> 00:04:11,609
science is based on a set of root

81
00:04:18,259 --> 00:04:14,190
metaphysical assumptions that limit what

82
00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:18,269
it's qualified to explore and you know

83
00:04:23,719 --> 00:04:20,760
if your assumptions are violated or not

84
00:04:26,980 --> 00:04:23,729
supported you can't trust your results

85
00:04:32,119 --> 00:04:26,990
right we require objectivity

86
00:04:35,689 --> 00:04:32,129
measurability replicability and we have

87
00:04:39,499 --> 00:04:35,699
we are assuming causality mainly through

88
00:04:43,249 --> 00:04:39,509
reductionism the third difficulty with

89
00:04:45,679 --> 00:04:43,259
science is that it has no built-in set

90
00:04:48,919 --> 00:04:45,689
of values to govern inquiry and

91
00:04:51,409 --> 00:04:48,929
especially application any and all

92
00:04:54,109 --> 00:04:51,419
applicate explorations in science are

93
00:04:57,109 --> 00:04:54,119
fair game right regardless of the

94
00:05:00,649 --> 00:04:57,119
consequences and this is a sacred right

95
00:05:03,019 --> 00:05:00,659
among scientists and some of those

96
00:05:10,969 --> 00:05:03,029
consequences are pretty horrendous you

97
00:05:16,159 --> 00:05:10,979
must agree well how are we going to deal

98
00:05:18,889 --> 00:05:16,169
with all this first we can observe one

99
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:18,899
thing that there's a serious gap between

100
00:05:25,129 --> 00:05:22,800
the science and human life what science

101
00:05:27,949 --> 00:05:25,139
is saying about humans and what we know

102
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:27,959
from our own experience as being humans

103
00:05:34,069 --> 00:05:31,529
doesn't quite match so in the human area

104
00:05:36,790 --> 00:05:34,079
science is a weak means for both

105
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:36,800
discovery and validation the two major

106
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:40,289
activities of science finding out new

107
00:05:46,579 --> 00:05:43,110
potential knowledge and verifying

108
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:46,589
whether knowledge is true or not so this

109
00:05:50,329 --> 00:05:48,089
implies that we're going to have to go

110
00:05:51,709 --> 00:05:50,339
back to fundamentals right where does

111
00:05:54,469 --> 00:05:51,719
knowledge come from in the first place

112
00:05:58,249 --> 00:05:54,479
how do we gain access to it in order to

113
00:06:00,949 --> 00:05:58,259
generate new knowledge why do why do we

114
00:06:04,069 --> 00:06:00,959
have to go back because the shortcomings

115
00:06:07,009 --> 00:06:04,079
of science can't be resolved within the

116
00:06:09,019 --> 00:06:07,019
same with the same level of at the same

117
00:06:13,549 --> 00:06:09,029
level perception of which they've become

118
00:06:15,409 --> 00:06:13,559
apparent we've got a step beyond we need

119
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:15,419
another way of knowing besides the

120
00:06:22,939 --> 00:06:19,769
familiar scientifically this is so we

121
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:22,949
can extend the present-day science into

122
00:06:29,209 --> 00:06:25,529
this fuller realm to embrace the mind

123
00:06:33,529 --> 00:06:29,219
and human factors as we know them

124
00:06:36,169 --> 00:06:33,539
personally so well so the solution must

125
00:06:39,619 --> 00:06:36,179
somehow derive from the subjective nam

126
00:06:41,339 --> 00:06:39,629
material a causal metal and parsley

127
00:06:43,290 --> 00:06:41,349
timeless domain

128
00:06:46,619 --> 00:06:43,300
from which the anomalous potential are

129
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:46,629
arising we just can't avoid this we've

130
00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:49,710
got a dip in there for our solution

131
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:52,449
important to SSC we were darn right

132
00:06:57,300 --> 00:06:54,310
we're already on the leading edge

133
00:06:59,550 --> 00:06:57,310
because we're exploring these many

134
00:07:02,339 --> 00:06:59,560
anomalous phenomena and how they're

135
00:07:05,909 --> 00:07:02,349
working we've got to continue doing this

136
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:05,919
this is our charge but unfortunately

137
00:07:09,809 --> 00:07:07,449
we're still trying to study these

138
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:09,819
anomalies by using the old methodology

139
00:07:16,350 --> 00:07:12,330
or at least a lot of us are doing this

140
00:07:19,260 --> 00:07:16,360
that's not gonna work so a major focus

141
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:19,270
is needed now on new methodologies new

142
00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:21,130
ways of knowing new ways of acquiring

143
00:07:30,990 --> 00:07:28,960
knowledge that's our next challenge well

144
00:07:34,140 --> 00:07:31,000
what I want to do and the rest of my

145
00:07:36,689 --> 00:07:34,150
time is to present another way of

146
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:36,699
acquiring knowledge that we could use

147
00:07:48,770 --> 00:07:40,810
may use in future science and give

148
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:52,940
first of all man possesses I'll make

149
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:55,110
this as an assertion and try to justify

150
00:08:00,800 --> 00:07:58,050
it certainly man possesses an innate

151
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:00,810
capacity for accessing new information

152
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:03,450
and knowledge directly without recourse

153
00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:05,610
to rationality sense perception or

154
00:08:12,379 --> 00:08:09,360
memory it's rightly called intuition or

155
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:12,389
direct knowing or innate knowing or

156
00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:15,120
knows the Greek term from which we get

157
00:08:21,590 --> 00:08:19,500
gnosis and no Eddings intuitions a

158
00:08:23,630 --> 00:08:21,600
universal Faculty of the mind is

159
00:08:28,490 --> 00:08:23,640
practiced everywhere throughout human

160
00:08:31,460 --> 00:08:28,500
history and widely up until the rise of

161
00:08:33,950 --> 00:08:31,470
science itself it's an essential part of

162
00:08:38,140 --> 00:08:33,960
thought but it functions invisibly and

163
00:08:40,670 --> 00:08:38,150
in the background it shows itself in

164
00:08:43,550 --> 00:08:40,680
serendipities and insights revelations

165
00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:43,560
gut feelings and the others that I've

166
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:48,240
listed here mainly and if not entirely

167
00:08:53,810 --> 00:08:52,290
when the intellect is put at rest and

168
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:53,820
turned off momentarily

169
00:09:00,020 --> 00:08:56,930
then it didn't then it leaks through

170
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:00,030
more over intuition isn't a special gift

171
00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:02,610
that it belongs to a few people but it

172
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:05,040
belongs to everybody that can develop be

173
00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:07,770
developed intentionally by anyone

174
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:10,320
there's a very good evidence that this

175
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:14,250
is so rather Hugh persons choose to

176
00:09:19,730 --> 00:09:16,730
develop intuition deliberately however

177
00:09:22,190 --> 00:09:19,740
how there's a class though of expert

178
00:09:24,130 --> 00:09:22,200
intuitive I call them that have done

179
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:24,140
this and developed their intuitive

180
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:27,870
ability into a refined skill you can do

181
00:09:33,079 --> 00:09:30,810
this too if you want to these expert

182
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:33,089
intuitive's have been shown to have

183
00:09:40,190 --> 00:09:37,680
access to almost any information that's

184
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:40,200
a very strong statement and I hope in

185
00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:42,510
the rest of the talk I can show you that

186
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:46,560
it's true where is it what's a source of

187
00:09:52,340 --> 00:09:47,430
this knowledge

188
00:09:54,410 --> 00:09:52,350
well it seems it seems to be well known

189
00:09:58,490 --> 00:09:54,420
throughout history and in different

190
00:10:01,269 --> 00:09:58,500
areas it's called in in one sense the

191
00:10:03,309 --> 00:10:01,279
collective unconscious that's Carl Jung

192
00:10:05,379 --> 00:10:03,319
but it also goes by several of their

193
00:10:07,449 --> 00:10:05,389
names we don't have to wait for an

194
00:10:11,619 --> 00:10:07,459
explanation of the mechanism by which

195
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:11,629
this source is working we don't we don't

196
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:13,730
ask this for human language even though

197
00:10:26,379 --> 00:10:24,170
we use it every day but it's there there

198
00:10:28,509 --> 00:10:26,389
are popular examples of these expert

199
00:10:31,059 --> 00:10:28,519
intuitive so actually are functioning in

200
00:10:33,790 --> 00:10:31,069
the world many mystics prophets artists

201
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:33,800
scientists and the best of today's

202
00:10:39,790 --> 00:10:36,290
spiritual teachers are functioning with

203
00:10:42,489 --> 00:10:39,800
intuition in this very effective way in

204
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:42,499
the 1980s and this at the center of

205
00:10:48,340 --> 00:10:45,350
applied intuition in San Francisco we

206
00:10:53,379 --> 00:10:48,350
asked a question how far can we go in

207
00:10:55,689 --> 00:10:53,389
obtaining new knowledge intuitively what

208
00:10:58,739 --> 00:10:55,699
breadth of knowledge and how deeply can

209
00:11:03,579 --> 00:10:58,749
we go on how are you see is it to do it

210
00:11:06,730 --> 00:11:03,589
these expert intuitive's we use 10 of

211
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:06,740
them and applied them to 15 unsolved

212
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:08,809
problems that hadn't been accessible to

213
00:11:16,030 --> 00:11:11,569
ordinary scientific or other means of

214
00:11:20,009 --> 00:11:16,040
solution the first four of them

215
00:11:23,549 --> 00:11:20,019
earthquake triggering bipolar depression

216
00:11:28,449 --> 00:11:23,559
HIV and recover of recovery of lost

217
00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:28,459
languages were all open unsolved

218
00:11:34,420 --> 00:11:32,000
problems and moreover they were amenable

219
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:34,430
to scientific validation if we could get

220
00:11:41,980 --> 00:11:39,110
good answers ok several others were also

221
00:11:45,309 --> 00:11:41,990
unsolved but we were not optimistic

222
00:11:47,169 --> 00:11:45,319
about the possibility of solving them

223
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:47,179
that is of getting evidence that would

224
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:50,170
show that what we came up with is right

225
00:11:54,850 --> 00:11:52,639
cause and treatment a sudden infant

226
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:54,860

and the pre-christian Jesus as Jesus

230
00:12:13,780 --> 00:12:10,370
before the church took over took him

231
00:12:16,809 --> 00:12:13,790
over those red spots there indicate that

232
00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:16,819
their books available in the bookstore

233
00:12:24,340 --> 00:12:18,769
if you want to pursue easier these

234
00:12:28,179 --> 00:12:24,350
further so information from me for these

235
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:28,189
first floor were the studies were

236
00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:30,370
conducted and validated through

237
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:33,889
scientific methods the last one

238
00:12:40,090 --> 00:12:36,050
business consulting and personal

239
00:12:42,670 --> 00:12:40,100
counseling were self validated partially

240
00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:42,680
self validated just do the the actual

241
00:12:48,069 --> 00:12:46,399
use of them there are other similar

242
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:48,079
findings that have come from non CI

243
00:12:53,470 --> 00:12:50,649
studies mineral exploration exploration

244
00:12:55,809 --> 00:12:53,480
archaeology finding lost objects

245
00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:55,819
military intelligence medicine medical

246
00:13:01,809 --> 00:12:58,730
diagnosis I think most of you know about

247
00:13:06,550 --> 00:13:01,819
these and these were largely self

248
00:13:08,530 --> 00:13:06,560
verifying these references are at the

249
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:08,540
bottom but I'll put them I'll show them

250
00:13:16,059 --> 00:13:13,910
again at the end first first of these

251
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:16,069
four areas which I'm going to discuss as

252
00:13:24,990 --> 00:13:18,050
evidence for the effectiveness of

253
00:13:28,650 --> 00:13:25,000
intuitive inquiry in the ninth in 1975

254
00:13:31,179 --> 00:13:28,660
seismology was virtually at a standstill

255
00:13:32,590 --> 00:13:31,189
the earth the core of the earth had been

256
00:13:34,269 --> 00:13:32,600
roughly mapped and we knew her

257
00:13:35,889 --> 00:13:34,279
earthquakes are occurring all over the

258
00:13:38,290 --> 00:13:35,899
globe so we had a kind of long-range

259
00:13:40,389 --> 00:13:38,300
prediction of where they were going to

260
00:13:41,470 --> 00:13:40,399
happen next but we had no short-range

261
00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:41,480
prediction at all

262
00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:44,750
a few earth measurements are being made

263
00:13:48,999 --> 00:13:46,670
where the earth has lifted how much it's

264
00:13:52,809 --> 00:13:49,009
lifting and higher and so forth but it

265
00:13:55,449 --> 00:13:52,819
was trivial so an intuitive consensus

266
00:13:58,269 --> 00:13:55,459
study was undertaken in on earthquake

267
00:14:01,299 --> 00:13:58,279
triggering and its associated precursors

268
00:14:04,079 --> 00:14:01,309
that is the signals that could be used

269
00:14:09,059 --> 00:14:04,089
to be measured to detect what's going on

270
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:09,069
we used eight expert intuitive in 1975

271
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:13,970
for and 75 for 1977 well the consensus

272
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:16,910
was rich in new information

273
00:14:23,730 --> 00:14:19,970
here's a paragraph just so as a very

274
00:14:26,230 --> 00:14:23,740
random example taken from these studies

275
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:26,240
I'll let you read it I won't try to read

276
00:14:44,290 --> 00:14:40,060
well this was incredible at the time it

277
00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:44,300
was totally far out because no one had

278
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:46,160
been looking into the atmosphere or

279
00:14:51,970 --> 00:14:49,910
space or electromagnetic phenomena there

280
00:14:53,829 --> 00:14:51,980
were no conceivable mechanisms at hand

281
00:14:58,050 --> 00:14:53,839
to explain how they could have anything

282
00:15:02,740 --> 00:15:00,730
several new precursors were named some

283
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:02,750
mechanisms are explained various cross

284
00:15:08,070 --> 00:15:06,110
effects were identified and there was no

285
00:15:11,380 --> 00:15:08,080
contradiction with the firmly

286
00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:11,390
established seismological knowledge so

287
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:12,800
what are we going to do with this

288
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:16,010
well we carried it to the seismologist

289
00:15:22,090 --> 00:15:19,130
but nobody was interested not surprising

290
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:22,100
I suppose so we published the article

291
00:15:30,670 --> 00:15:26,720
that an experiment forgot about it in

292
00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:30,680
too old one l2o one one we did a careful

293
00:15:35,740 --> 00:15:33,920
review of intuitive insights conducted

294
00:15:39,130 --> 00:15:35,750
by comparing them against published

295
00:15:41,470 --> 00:15:39,140
geophysics articles first in 1975 to

296
00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:41,480
show that this information was not

297
00:15:46,900 --> 00:15:43,910
already known and then again in the

298
00:15:47,819 --> 00:15:46,910
period up to 2010 to show what had been

299
00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:47,829
verified

300
00:15:53,860 --> 00:15:50,959
almost all the intuitive information was

301
00:15:58,030 --> 00:15:53,870
verified by ongoing research in that

302
00:16:00,460 --> 00:15:58,040
period satellite observations during the

303
00:16:04,569 --> 00:16:00,470
eight 1980s from other geophysical

304
00:16:07,449 --> 00:16:04,579
research in the 1990s and 2000's a few

305
00:16:09,389 --> 00:16:07,459
points were still unverified like the

306
00:16:12,010 --> 00:16:09,399
effects of the planets on earthquakes

307
00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:12,020
but nothing was found it was downright

308
00:16:19,630 --> 00:16:17,600
wrong several new precursors are a good

309
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:19,640
bet for a future earthquake prediction

310
00:16:25,210 --> 00:16:22,850
system seismology is now a space-based

311
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:25,220
rather than a ground-based operation

312
00:16:32,530 --> 00:16:28,130
it's actually a big subject a major

313
00:16:34,630 --> 00:16:32,540
subfield of geophysics conclusion if the

314
00:16:36,579 --> 00:16:34,640
results of this study had been heeded

315
00:16:38,889 --> 00:16:36,589
earlier it could have saved much

316
00:16:41,710 --> 00:16:38,899
confusion in time that's for sure

317
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:41,720
the intuitive consensus inquiry could

318
00:16:47,290 --> 00:16:44,690
easily be extended now to get more

319
00:16:49,460 --> 00:16:47,300
details similar studies could greatly

320
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:49,470
benefit future where could you

321
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:53,370
physics and science generally another

322
00:17:00,470 --> 00:16:56,820
area bipolar depression or manic

323
00:17:03,410 --> 00:17:00,480
depression manic depressive disorder at

324
00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:03,420
this in 1980 was an almost complete

325
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:05,600
mystery there were a few jeanna

326
00:17:11,150 --> 00:17:08,250
indications of genetic factors involved

327
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:11,160
and lithium was being used as a partial

328
00:17:18,590 --> 00:17:16,410
treatment which way to go and intuitive

329
00:17:21,620 --> 00:17:18,600
consensus study was a undertaken using

330
00:17:23,990 --> 00:17:21,630
six expert into ''tis to determine the

331
00:17:29,180 --> 00:17:24,000
best direction this work was done with

332
00:17:30,860 --> 00:17:29,190
dr. Paul Groff several new insights were

333
00:17:33,470 --> 00:17:30,870
obtained on the development and

334
00:17:36,470 --> 00:17:33,480
physiology and treatment good consensus

335
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:36,480
on many important points major findings

336
00:17:42,650 --> 00:17:39,860
the overall problem is terribly complex

337
00:17:45,620 --> 00:17:42,660
despite very simple systems so it's like

338
00:17:50,650 --> 00:17:45,630
cancer genetic approach would be very

339
00:17:57,350 --> 00:17:53,390
lithium doses are should be reduced

340
00:18:00,910 --> 00:17:57,360
they're too large and 209 these findings

341
00:18:03,530 --> 00:18:00,920
relative to ongoing search on BD since

342
00:18:07,580 --> 00:18:03,540
1975 was carried out as we did for the

343
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:07,590
earthquakes strikingly correct on ten

344
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:12,810
major insights research is still stuck

345
00:18:19,130 --> 00:18:15,930
now despite massive data collection and

346
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:19,140
written analysis much still remains to

347
00:18:25,090 --> 00:18:22,110
be verified conclusion intuitive

348
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:25,100
consensus has significant potential for

349
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:27,690
obtaining needed knowledge on mood

350
00:18:34,730 --> 00:18:30,090
disorders psychiatric problems and

351
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:34,740
medicine generally another study was

352
00:18:43,850 --> 00:18:39,810
done on AIDS in 1993 and it was verified

353
00:18:46,670 --> 00:18:43,860
in about 2010 same sort of thing

354
00:18:50,390 --> 00:18:46,680
happened one of the main conclusions is

355
00:18:54,770 --> 00:18:50,400
HIV is an essential contributory to AIDS

356
00:18:59,030 --> 00:18:54,780
but is not is not its root cause are you

357
00:19:00,920 --> 00:18:59,040
listening Henry the susceptibility lies

358
00:19:03,290 --> 00:19:00,930
in the infection

359
00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:03,300
- the infection lives in a severely

360
00:19:08,510 --> 00:19:06,750
depressed immune system well we're gonna

361
00:19:11,020 --> 00:19:08,520
have to skip the recovery of the lost

362
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:11,030
language since we're out of time

363
00:19:15,650 --> 00:19:13,830
conclusions almost any needed

364
00:19:18,140 --> 00:19:15,660
information could be obtained through

365
00:19:22,610 --> 00:19:18,150
intuitive inquiry the evidence that this

366
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:22,620
is possible is now strong and actually

367
00:19:27,980 --> 00:19:25,650
sufficient there are four conditions for

368
00:19:31,130 --> 00:19:27,990
its accuracy coverage and success namely

369
00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:31,140
work with only expert intuitive either

370
00:19:37,669 --> 00:19:34,350
yourself or hire an expert into it

371
00:19:40,220 --> 00:19:37,679
either that's either yourself or hire an

372
00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:40,230
expert into 'ti the inquiry questions

373
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:42,559
have to be clear and non perceptive and

374
00:19:49,340 --> 00:19:47,010
objective no explanations needed strong

375
00:19:52,690 --> 00:19:49,350
and clear motivation for applying the

376
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:52,700
new knowledge not just curiosity and no

377
00:19:58,940 --> 00:19:56,970
harmful harmful consequences if there

378
00:20:01,760 --> 00:19:58,950
are any these will block the information

379
00:20:04,490 --> 00:20:01,770
so this has profound the implications

380
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:04,500
for the future of science for generation

381
00:20:10,370 --> 00:20:07,110
of knowledge generally and of course for

382
00:20:12,140 --> 00:20:10,380
the role of SSE in this process I'll

383
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:12,150
have to skip over the individual

384
00:20:18,590 --> 00:20:15,809
challenge and just skip to this point

385
00:20:19,669 --> 00:20:18,600
that's a lot for us as individuals to do

386
00:20:22,850 --> 00:20:19,679
ok

387
00:20:28,669 --> 00:20:22,860
thanks very much thank you

388
00:20:35,299 --> 00:20:28,679
time for questions now any questions of

389
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:35,309
this hi Ron westrom I I was editor of a

390
00:20:38,350 --> 00:20:36,510
little newsletter for quite a while

391
00:20:40,610 --> 00:20:38,360
called the social psychology of science

392
00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:40,620
and I got very interested in intuition

393
00:20:45,770 --> 00:20:42,480
and its role in both science and

394
00:20:47,660 --> 00:20:45,780
engineering one of the first things that

395
00:20:50,270 --> 00:20:47,670
one notices about this is it's a very

396
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:50,280
unequally distributed skill intuition

397
00:20:54,860 --> 00:20:52,650
we're very important equally distributed

398
00:20:57,530 --> 00:20:54,870
some people have it in great degree and

399
00:20:58,970 --> 00:20:57,540
some people not very much typically

400
00:21:00,830 --> 00:20:58,980
people who think of themselves as

401
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:00,840
theorists have an extraordinary degree

402
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:04,530
of intuition and the the level of some

403
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:06,690
people Tesla would be a fine example of

404
00:21:10,370 --> 00:21:08,730
this it's just absolutely amazing in

405
00:21:11,630 --> 00:21:10,380
terms of their ability to model in their

406
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:11,640
mind

407
00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:15,570
systems and so forth it's also something

408
00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:17,910
that's I think strongly tested by the

409
00:21:24,260 --> 00:21:20,880
myers-briggs scale intuitive versus

410
00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:24,270
sensor and I think that's a it's a very

411
00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:25,080
interesting thing

412
00:21:29,030 --> 00:21:26,670
Sall Restivo has a book called the

413
00:21:31,340 --> 00:21:29,040
subjective side of science and compares

414
00:21:33,710 --> 00:21:31,350
the Apollo moon scientists in terms of

415
00:21:35,510 --> 00:21:33,720
their love of either data or theory and

416
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:35,520
shows that each one thinks for the

417
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:37,890
others as unscientific could I answer

418
00:21:42,919 --> 00:21:40,320
that part first before you load my brain

419
00:21:44,780 --> 00:21:42,929
with other part of the question I would

420
00:21:47,450 --> 00:21:44,790
say that they are speaking here not

421
00:21:50,570 --> 00:21:47,460
about their intuitive ability but there

422
00:21:52,370 --> 00:21:50,580
but there the way they have actually

423
00:21:55,789 --> 00:21:52,380
developed it into something useful

424
00:21:58,460 --> 00:21:55,799
the a lot of other works says that we

425
00:22:00,500 --> 00:21:58,470
are all equally intuitive it's just a

426
00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:00,510
matter of how much we let out allow

427
00:22:06,470 --> 00:22:03,600
ourselves to be that way you see okay

428
00:22:13,070 --> 00:22:06,480
but go further people waiting so I'm

429
00:22:14,930 --> 00:22:13,080
gonna just one spot Patterson I was just

430
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:14,940
curious and maybe I missed that how do

431
00:22:21,950 --> 00:22:18,090
you identify who's an expert intuitive

432
00:22:22,430 --> 00:22:21,960
or how did you and good let's go about

433
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:22,440
that

434
00:22:28,789 --> 00:22:25,890
good question when we did this work in

435
00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:28,799
the 90s 80s the there were intuitive's

436
00:22:35,870 --> 00:22:32,070
coming off the wall so we had no there

437
00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:35,880
was no lack of applicants but we

438
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:39,440
screened them pretty carefully partly on

439
00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:42,570
to came it get information which they

440
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:45,809
had no way of know access to partly of

441
00:22:51,140 --> 00:22:48,690
which they might have access to but we

442
00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:51,150
could corroborate with it partially with

443
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:53,520
old things like the history of sin

444
00:22:59,480 --> 00:22:56,850
ancient individual and partly by their

445
00:23:01,430 --> 00:22:59,490
work on actual applications that we were

446
00:23:03,860 --> 00:23:01,440
working on or we could compare their

447
00:23:06,530 --> 00:23:03,870
results with others who had preceded

448
00:23:08,930 --> 00:23:06,540
them this was our way of doing it but

449
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:08,940
actually this was just a game because we

450
00:23:20,350 --> 00:23:11,490
had a pretty strong intuitive sense who

451
00:23:30,230 --> 00:23:26,360
um I have to confess to a certain opera

452
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:30,240
or a suspicion of intuition and to note

453
00:23:37,210 --> 00:23:34,050
that a full discussion of your talk

454
00:23:40,669 --> 00:23:37,220
would be longer than your talk was but I

455
00:23:43,850 --> 00:23:40,679
I will restrain myself to noting that

456
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:43,860
I'm not terribly impressed by the list

457
00:23:48,020 --> 00:23:46,410
of scientific confirmations because at

458
00:23:50,540 --> 00:23:48,030
least some of the things you're scoring

459
00:23:52,940 --> 00:23:50,550
as hits our Barnum statements that would

460
00:23:59,720 --> 00:23:52,950
be true of almost any research program

461
00:24:04,490 --> 00:23:59,730
still in progress okay I'll have to say

462
00:24:07,070 --> 00:24:04,500
I guess the main answer to that is the

463
00:24:08,990 --> 00:24:07,080
information the evidence is sound but

464
00:24:10,580 --> 00:24:09,000
what I could talk about today is

465
00:24:16,180 --> 00:24:10,590
certainly not a long list of the

466
00:24:21,820 --> 00:24:16,190
arguments for or against certainly many

467
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:24,620
authenticating the results that we have

468
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:29,100
and that would be an indication that

469
00:24:34,850 --> 00:24:31,530
people who have looked at this carefully

470
00:24:37,910 --> 00:24:34,860
are saying yes yes it's right what I can

471
00:24:39,820 --> 00:24:37,920
say now is very limited thank you very
