1 00:00:08,330 --> 00:00:05,630 already been launched with you this 2 00:00:10,550 --> 00:00:08,340 morning um so we will have these Jeff 3 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:10,560 could you just turn down a bit things a 4 00:00:16,490 --> 00:00:13,890 bit loud thank you so you will remember 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:16,500 that slide here and that slide was 6 00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:18,930 talking about connecting different 7 00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:21,240 pieces of the fence and every one of you 8 00:00:25,429 --> 00:00:23,369 basically holds a piece of the fence and 9 00:00:27,649 --> 00:00:25,439 honors that and contributes that piece 10 00:00:30,259 --> 00:00:27,659 of the fence and as we have discussed 11 00:00:31,849 --> 00:00:30,269 this morning we will use this evening to 12 00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:31,859 basically talk about the what we've 13 00:00:37,700 --> 00:00:34,920 called the code of conduct the code of 14 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:37,710 conduct so just not to to avoid any 15 00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:40,890 confusion what we mean by code of 16 00:00:46,670 --> 00:00:44,000 conduct is how scientists should behave 17 00:00:48,619 --> 00:00:46,680 right not how the models of reality 18 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:48,629 should behave we are talking about how 19 00:00:52,250 --> 00:00:50,370 the scientists should behave right so 20 00:00:54,529 --> 00:00:52,260 this is how we basically behave and 21 00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:54,539 interact and there are different 22 00:00:59,810 --> 00:00:57,600 dimensions I would want to first of all 23 00:01:01,250 --> 00:00:59,820 thank those of you who have contributed 24 00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:01,260 to the questionnaire to the online 25 00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:03,239 questionnaire so we have some of you 26 00:01:06,290 --> 00:01:04,559 might have seen the online questionnaire 27 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:06,300 some of you might have contributed so 28 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:07,650 the stuff that we are discussing today 29 00:01:13,550 --> 00:01:11,130 is mainly a result of the collection of 30 00:01:15,469 --> 00:01:13,560 of the of your input here right so it's 31 00:01:17,539 --> 00:01:15,479 not just something we've invented but 32 00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:17,549 it's sort of already coming from the 33 00:01:22,730 --> 00:01:20,640 audience so after we had reviewed this 34 00:01:24,350 --> 00:01:22,740 input we basically figured out that 35 00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:24,360 there are different topics around this 36 00:01:29,660 --> 00:01:27,119 code of conduct the first topic is to 37 00:01:31,130 --> 00:01:29,670 establish a common meaning and 38 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:31,140 understanding of what science actually 39 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:33,329 means and science actually is because if 40 00:01:36,590 --> 00:01:35,130 every one of you or us would have a 41 00:01:38,209 --> 00:01:36,600 different understanding of what science 42 00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:38,219 is then it's going to be difficult to 43 00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:40,560 actually collaborate the second one that 44 00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:42,479 we actually found out in these 45 00:01:46,639 --> 00:01:44,729 submissions is questions or statements 46 00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:46,649 around how to deal with evidence and 47 00:01:53,569 --> 00:01:51,200 here I have to say that I where's Paul 48 00:01:55,219 --> 00:01:53,579 over there you you have this you gave 49 00:01:58,219 --> 00:01:55,229 this excellent talk this morning about 50 00:02:01,069 --> 00:01:58,229 what is what how what are they the 51 00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:01,079 criteria for evidence right so so that 52 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:03,119 you will see some of those coming up 53 00:02:07,969 --> 00:02:04,770 there as well because it's apparently a 54 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:07,979 very important topic and then there is 55 00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:09,770 the whole topic around collaboration 56 00:02:14,059 --> 00:02:12,209 that is collaboration on an individual 57 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:14,069 level collaboration within the SS II 58 00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:16,050 collaboration amongst different other 59 00:02:18,290 --> 00:02:16,710 organization 60 00:02:20,660 --> 00:02:18,300 so there are all of these questions 61 00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:20,670 basically coming up and then we have got 62 00:02:26,060 --> 00:02:22,440 the concilium spirit piece which is 63 00:02:28,910 --> 00:02:26,070 pulling the evidence together and then 64 00:02:32,060 --> 00:02:28,920 we have finally got topics around how to 65 00:02:34,220 --> 00:02:32,070 communicate what we have found right so 66 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:34,230 those are the headlines or the kind of 67 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:36,090 structure that we have distilled from 68 00:02:42,860 --> 00:02:38,250 the input that we have got from youth 69 00:02:47,330 --> 00:02:42,870 during the online survey role of the SS 70 00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:47,340 II is basically shall we continue to do 71 00:02:51,860 --> 00:02:48,840 what we have done or shall we probably 72 00:02:54,410 --> 00:02:51,870 add a bit to this and so we will we will 73 00:02:55,850 --> 00:02:54,420 probably come to a short discussion 74 00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:55,860 around mission statement if we've got 75 00:03:01,450 --> 00:02:57,120 the time for it and if we are still all 76 00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:01,460 awake and that gets me to the panel and 77 00:03:10,670 --> 00:03:05,910 the most important thing is I have been 78 00:03:15,470 --> 00:03:10,680 able to select the panel and guess who 79 00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:15,480 I've selected first person I would like 80 00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:20,400 to come on stage as branda a warm 81 00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:22,400 applause for Brenda 82 00:03:29,460 --> 00:03:27,360 [Applause] 83 00:03:35,490 --> 00:03:29,470 just grab a chair whichever you like 84 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:35,500 right you can stay with me if you want 85 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:37,810 you can actually go as far as far away 86 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:42,850 as you can all right so the second 87 00:03:49,170 --> 00:03:44,770 person I'd like to invite onto the stage 88 00:04:02,100 --> 00:03:49,180 is Julie Julie bachelor warm applause 89 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:02,110 for Julie do you see a pattern all right 90 00:04:13,890 --> 00:04:08,530 that's okay so the pattern is I can't do 91 00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:13,900 without another woman on stage so I'd 92 00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:16,900 like to invite someone who you have not 93 00:04:23,129 --> 00:04:21,070 seen on stage and who is close to my 94 00:04:24,719 --> 00:04:23,139 heart in terms of what they do so I'd 95 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:24,729 like to invite Anya to come on stage 96 00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:26,650 please also a warm round of applause for 97 00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:34,479 Tanya find your place thank you 98 00:04:41,150 --> 00:04:38,710 all right and and finally finally I 99 00:04:44,730 --> 00:04:41,160 would love to have all of you on stage 100 00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:44,740 but the stage is too small for that so 101 00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:46,510 what we have done instead is we have got 102 00:04:51,150 --> 00:04:48,550 walking mics and that is basically Phil 103 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:51,160 there and probably another colleague of 104 00:04:56,670 --> 00:04:54,370 Phil with another microphone so ever Oh 105 00:04:58,110 --> 00:04:56,680 Phyllis got two microphones and he has 106 00:04:59,700 --> 00:04:58,120 got the challenge to basically be in 107 00:05:02,550 --> 00:04:59,710 this aisle and in that aisle at the same 108 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:02,560 point in time but but as everything is 109 00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:04,210 just consciousness just think about it 110 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:07,840 it will work I mean all right so we have 111 00:05:12,770 --> 00:05:10,450 got walking mics we have actually we got 112 00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:12,780 rid of the stand because it will be a 113 00:05:17,070 --> 00:05:15,520 higher paced kind of engagement right so 114 00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:17,080 if you have if you have a question or if 115 00:05:21,570 --> 00:05:18,070 you want to make a statement 116 00:05:23,969 --> 00:05:21,580 chase Phil around right that is that is 117 00:05:25,469 --> 00:05:23,979 the purpose if you really want to get 118 00:05:27,750 --> 00:05:25,479 rid of one of those mics you might 119 00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:27,760 probably kindly ask someone else to oh 120 00:05:35,219 --> 00:05:31,600 we've already got a volunteer lovely so 121 00:05:37,629 --> 00:05:35,229 as we have said before it is meant to be 122 00:05:39,339 --> 00:05:37,639 an interactive session and to 123 00:05:40,869 --> 00:05:39,349 to be an interactive session we 124 00:05:43,149 --> 00:05:40,879 obviously have got the running mics here 125 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:43,159 but we have also got a tool in place 126 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:47,210 which is called slide Oh has anyone of 127 00:05:50,379 --> 00:05:49,370 you already heard of slide oh all right 128 00:05:53,379 --> 00:05:50,389 that's good one 129 00:05:56,559 --> 00:05:53,389 perfect so slider is basically an 130 00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:56,569 interactive tool which allows a live 131 00:06:01,749 --> 00:05:58,610 interaction between the audience and the 132 00:06:05,140 --> 00:06:01,759 people who are on stage and what we do 133 00:06:07,719 --> 00:06:05,150 here is it's a polling system so we 134 00:06:10,029 --> 00:06:07,729 actually will put up statements which 135 00:06:12,969 --> 00:06:10,039 you can vote upon where you can say okay 136 00:06:14,980 --> 00:06:12,979 I like it or I disagree or whatever so 137 00:06:17,769 --> 00:06:14,990 this is the kind of interaction and we 138 00:06:19,749 --> 00:06:17,779 will have this then live on stage and 139 00:06:21,700 --> 00:06:19,759 then on the on the screen so whatever 140 00:06:23,589 --> 00:06:21,710 you are doing voting we will see the 141 00:06:27,249 --> 00:06:23,599 results immediately here obviously in 142 00:06:28,719 --> 00:06:27,259 the consolidated way right for those of 143 00:06:31,420 --> 00:06:28,729 you who are actually going to be 144 00:06:33,850 --> 00:06:31,430 critical of the session afterwards here 145 00:06:37,540 --> 00:06:33,860 is the disclaimer this is not 146 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:37,550 statistically relevant this is not a 147 00:06:41,829 --> 00:06:40,490 scientific setup and this is the way we 148 00:06:46,809 --> 00:06:41,839 do it in business which is quick and 149 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:46,819 dirty right so let's let's do a let's do 150 00:06:54,710 --> 00:06:48,050 a warm-up in slider 151 00:07:01,370 --> 00:06:58,490 there is there is there has been a long 152 00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:01,380 debate about Wi-Fi in here and I think I 153 00:07:05,450 --> 00:07:03,510 basically don't create friends if I tell 154 00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:05,460 you how much they quoted us for having 155 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:08,400 Wi-Fi in here but there was a conscious 156 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:11,730 economic decision because we would want 157 00:07:17,450 --> 00:07:15,090 to finance three other conferences yeah 158 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:17,460 the idea the idea is to use your phones 159 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:19,770 most of you should have phones so the 160 00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:22,050 idea is if you type in slide or come 161 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:31,470 into your internet browser yeah 162 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:32,970 so try if you have another Wi-Fi 163 00:07:37,940 --> 00:07:34,410 connection which works for you you could 164 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:37,950 try this as well and and we will 165 00:07:44,270 --> 00:07:40,050 basically start with a with a very 166 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:44,280 simple kind of a bit of a bit of a game 167 00:07:49,610 --> 00:07:47,250 here so have everyone got this slide or 168 00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:49,620 calm if you are on the slide if you are 169 00:07:55,190 --> 00:07:52,440 on that site all you need to type in is 170 00:08:00,050 --> 00:07:55,200 this conference code which I've made 171 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:00,060 difficult to remember deliberately right 172 00:08:04,940 --> 00:08:01,250 it's a test 173 00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:04,950 so can I can I show of hands who has 174 00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:07,620 already got access yeah are we getting 175 00:08:14,180 --> 00:08:09,540 there yeah we are getting there all 176 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:14,190 right okay so what we are going to do is 177 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:17,010 I'm going to now activate a first poll 178 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:22,410 and that one basically says this is just 179 00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:23,730 that this is just to get you warmed up 180 00:08:27,620 --> 00:08:25,560 right there is a first poll which says 181 00:08:29,540 --> 00:08:27,630 there is a statement Colorado is a 182 00:08:30,770 --> 00:08:29,550 lovely place to have Ras se conferred 183 00:08:32,659 --> 00:08:30,780 and we've got a first one who is 184 00:08:35,210 --> 00:08:32,669 actually already replying okay whose 185 00:08:37,940 --> 00:08:35,220 nine people 11 people I mean come on 186 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:37,950 there is 8% on okay they don't like it 187 00:08:41,930 --> 00:08:39,450 they don't like it that much I mean 188 00:08:48,450 --> 00:08:41,940 where are we ending up 19 people so far 189 00:08:51,070 --> 00:08:48,460 do we have more votes you see 190 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:51,080 and actually if you change your mind you 191 00:08:56,620 --> 00:08:54,530 can also say no I just like it even if 192 00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:56,630 you have voted for it before so I see I 193 00:09:00,060 --> 00:08:58,490 see John already trying it's John it's 194 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:00,070 John it's very very hot on that topic 195 00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:03,770 all right so you see John has just voted 196 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:07,910 for he totally dislikes it this is just 197 00:09:13,090 --> 00:09:09,890 to get you familiar with the with the 198 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:13,100 tool so you see how this works they are 199 00:09:18,450 --> 00:09:15,290 also there are also different questions 200 00:09:21,850 --> 00:09:18,460 here and that is that is the type of 201 00:09:23,950 --> 00:09:21,860 multiple-choice questions so I show you 202 00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:23,960 a multiple choice one and the multiple 203 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:25,910 choice one is what is your area of 204 00:09:29,740 --> 00:09:28,250 conventional research and there is a 205 00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:29,750 drop-down or there is a there is a 206 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:32,240 choice so pick what's your area of 207 00:09:37,390 --> 00:09:35,450 conventional research all right so we 208 00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:37,400 have got physics here currently or 209 00:09:42,970 --> 00:09:41,600 physics with 44% others others is always 210 00:09:44,410 --> 00:09:42,980 bad if there are so many others because 211 00:09:47,830 --> 00:09:44,420 that means we have done a bad job in 212 00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:47,840 defining the criteria if you lost of his 213 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:50,690 is catching up religious studies 214 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:54,650 mathematics and the nice thing is we get 215 00:10:01,300 --> 00:09:56,450 even more votes we are now with 31 216 00:10:04,890 --> 00:10:01,310 people so we are getting there oh come 217 00:10:10,810 --> 00:10:07,740 that makes my life difficult 218 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:10,820 damn difficult alright feel I need you 219 00:10:15,310 --> 00:10:14,170 who has voted for others show of hands 220 00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:15,320 alright 221 00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:16,910 could you just could you just go through 222 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:19,190 the rows and rows and just help me 223 00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:21,050 understand who is others you have just 224 00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:22,910 you've just said others fill it behind 225 00:10:27,970 --> 00:10:26,390 you please please raise your hand and I 226 00:10:30,070 --> 00:10:27,980 will bring your microphone to you yeah 227 00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:30,080 just just say what what others means for 228 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:37,120 you biomedical engineering okay yep 229 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:45,090 playwriting so I said this again 230 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:48,730 playwriting playwriting playwriting 231 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:54,050 music not doing research oh this is this 232 00:10:57,910 --> 00:10:55,610 is probably yeah we should have got that 233 00:10:59,620 --> 00:10:57,920 as a criteria not doing research that's 234 00:11:01,650 --> 00:10:59,630 the point yeah I just wanted to figure 235 00:11:04,290 --> 00:11:01,660 out what the missing link was here right 236 00:11:07,830 --> 00:11:04,300 so that is but just an increase in 237 00:11:09,930 --> 00:11:07,840 philosophy wherever this came from so 238 00:11:12,210 --> 00:11:09,940 this is just to make you familiar with 239 00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:12,220 another type of Paul we still have got 240 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:14,800 one which is also very interesting and 241 00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:17,050 that is now what is your main area of 242 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:19,630 anonymity of anomalies this is this is 243 00:11:23,340 --> 00:11:21,490 the bloody English word which I which I 244 00:11:26,370 --> 00:11:23,350 can't really pronounce anomalies 245 00:11:28,050 --> 00:11:26,380 research and and there you need to type 246 00:11:30,060 --> 00:11:28,060 something in so this is a different game 247 00:11:33,390 --> 00:11:30,070 so there we have got dowsing we have got 248 00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:33,400 intent what else do we have 249 00:11:41,580 --> 00:11:37,600 oh right homuth oh now it's getting 250 00:11:43,290 --> 00:11:41,590 crazy quant quantum physics energy you 251 00:11:48,570 --> 00:11:43,300 see and if someone happens to also 252 00:11:49,730 --> 00:11:48,580 choose another outside look at that what 253 00:11:53,450 --> 00:11:49,740 else do we have 254 00:11:58,260 --> 00:11:53,460 remote viewing gets more attention 255 00:12:02,010 --> 00:11:58,270 energy consciousness but psy is still a 256 00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:02,020 lot of traction there right pretty good 257 00:12:07,410 --> 00:12:04,480 pretty good and we are sort of we have 258 00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:07,420 around 26 active members we had 31 259 00:12:19,770 --> 00:12:18,090 but that's okay so then we have got an 260 00:12:22,020 --> 00:12:19,780 interesting question because what would 261 00:12:23,430 --> 00:12:22,030 you expect from that conference just 262 00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:23,440 type in what you expect from that 263 00:12:42,670 --> 00:12:34,240 transcendence who said that come on be 264 00:12:46,139 --> 00:12:42,680 brave free drinks free drinks bill bill 265 00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:50,740 so next all right to interact with 266 00:12:57,940 --> 00:12:57,770 like-minded individuals here we are you 267 00:13:00,070 --> 00:12:57,950 see 268 00:13:02,290 --> 00:13:00,080 enlightenment there we've got 269 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:02,300 enlightenment is a I mean that would be 270 00:13:05,860 --> 00:13:03,529 that would be interesting if you would 271 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:05,870 run conferences we could actually charge 272 00:13:09,130 --> 00:13:07,970 a huge fee if we promise that they will 273 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:09,140 actually leave the conference 274 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:11,450 enlightened afterwards and that should 275 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:13,970 be really fun all right so this is where 276 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:17,330 we are in terms of the but-but-but what 277 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:19,370 you what you also need to what you also 278 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:21,170 need to know if you expect something to 279 00:13:26,290 --> 00:13:22,850 get you also need to be prepared 280 00:13:38,199 --> 00:13:26,300 something to give right so what would 281 00:13:47,530 --> 00:13:41,989 financial opportunity there is someone 282 00:13:59,869 --> 00:13:51,859 attention Canadian maple cookies I go 283 00:14:01,789 --> 00:13:59,879 for one alright so guys you you get you 284 00:14:03,169 --> 00:14:01,799 get the idea right so that is that is 285 00:14:04,999 --> 00:14:03,179 really what we do but we have a 286 00:14:07,069 --> 00:14:05,009 declining number of participants so no 287 00:14:10,009 --> 00:14:07,079 it's just when typing it's it's a it's 288 00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:10,019 lower so this was just a fun part and 289 00:14:14,179 --> 00:14:11,910 now we really get serious there is no 290 00:14:25,579 --> 00:14:14,189 German mechanical engineer who is just 291 00:14:27,710 --> 00:14:25,589 having fun when I was when I was working 292 00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:27,720 with was build on in the preparation for 293 00:14:34,489 --> 00:14:31,049 that I figured out that bill is it's 294 00:14:36,379 --> 00:14:34,499 very big in statistics right so when I 295 00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:36,389 suggested that we should use this tool 296 00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:38,910 he said ok what is the raw data that we 297 00:14:42,769 --> 00:14:40,769 get out of that right and is it 298 00:14:45,289 --> 00:14:42,779 anonymous and can we actually track all 299 00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:45,299 of that and we need to establish the 300 00:14:49,970 --> 00:14:46,889 baseline so that we can track the 301 00:14:52,189 --> 00:14:49,980 progress right so what's now happening 302 00:14:58,489 --> 00:14:52,199 is not me it's bill forcing me to do 303 00:15:01,159 --> 00:14:58,499 this but but but I go along with that so 304 00:15:03,619 --> 00:15:01,169 you what you now what you now got is you 305 00:15:06,139 --> 00:15:03,629 got a number of questions I think it's 306 00:15:08,929 --> 00:15:06,149 around six or seven questions which 307 00:15:10,579 --> 00:15:08,939 which you should vote upon please do 308 00:15:13,699 --> 00:15:10,589 this now and this is really just to 309 00:15:14,809 --> 00:15:13,709 establish a kind of baseline because we 310 00:15:17,419 --> 00:15:14,819 would want to see whether there is a 311 00:15:18,590 --> 00:15:17,429 change whether there is a change in your 312 00:15:21,079 --> 00:15:18,600 perception whether there is a change 313 00:15:23,090 --> 00:15:21,089 from where you are today where you will 314 00:15:25,369 --> 00:15:23,100 be on Saturday in the afternoon or at 315 00:15:27,079 --> 00:15:25,379 the end of the session on Saturday right 316 00:15:30,889 --> 00:15:27,089 this won't show up at that very moment 317 00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:30,899 there but rest assured the the answers 318 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:33,689 are coming so I just give you a little 319 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:35,730 bit more time because you just need to 320 00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:45,240 the question should be on the phone yeah 321 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:47,110 other questions on the phone I just I 322 00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:48,970 just need to check yeah all right good 323 00:15:57,330 --> 00:15:56,800 yeah John could you help oh that would 324 00:15:59,610 --> 00:15:57,340 be lovely 325 00:16:02,010 --> 00:15:59,620 yeah this is like in an aircraft right 326 00:16:08,950 --> 00:16:02,020 put your own mask on first and then help 327 00:16:17,190 --> 00:16:13,389 all right so I'm not going to I'm not 328 00:16:19,450 --> 00:16:17,200 going to disclose those votes right now 329 00:16:24,190 --> 00:16:19,460 because this is just to establish a 330 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:24,200 baseline but just by show of hands how 331 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:25,850 many people have finished there are 332 00:16:31,630 --> 00:16:28,970 their votes oh okay 333 00:16:34,210 --> 00:16:31,640 a lot of people have finished them but 334 00:16:35,740 --> 00:16:34,220 we still need to start them somewhere so 335 00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:35,750 I will leave this up for the moment 336 00:16:46,990 --> 00:16:37,910 whilst I actually will refer to my 337 00:16:52,180 --> 00:16:47,000 beautiful panel don't underestimate the 338 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:52,190 physical appearance I shall say but 339 00:17:02,769 --> 00:16:55,730 you're right in terms of I yeah I set 340 00:17:05,140 --> 00:17:02,779 myself up for that yeah I know this the 341 00:17:07,049 --> 00:17:05,150 reason why I had you here is I had the 342 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:07,059 pleasure to speak to both of you 343 00:17:11,710 --> 00:17:10,010 beforehand and I would like to thank you 344 00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:11,720 for that and I would like to thank Tom 345 00:17:17,290 --> 00:17:14,569 for approaching me today so that we 346 00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:17,300 actually got the opportunity to to have 347 00:17:20,860 --> 00:17:19,130 her here and I'd like to I'd like to 348 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:20,870 give Tanya first the word so that you 349 00:17:23,949 --> 00:17:22,490 can probably tell a bit about your 350 00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:23,959 background because most of the people 351 00:17:28,329 --> 00:17:25,910 don't know you and that would be 352 00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:28,339 interesting to understand what you do 353 00:17:32,740 --> 00:17:29,120 and why you are here 354 00:17:35,890 --> 00:17:32,750 thank you my backgrounds quite varied 355 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:35,900 but I've been in the business realm for 356 00:17:41,770 --> 00:17:39,050 about twenty years initially in FinTech 357 00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:41,780 and more recently in what we now call 358 00:17:48,220 --> 00:17:45,110 transformational tech trans tech I'm not 359 00:17:51,010 --> 00:17:48,230 a coder I'm a product developer so I 360 00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:51,020 take the great ideas and help bring them 361 00:17:56,590 --> 00:17:54,110 to market and right now we're working on 362 00:17:59,830 --> 00:17:56,600 a great idea and we're looking for some 363 00:18:01,600 --> 00:17:59,840 scientific brains to put behind it so 364 00:18:03,130 --> 00:18:01,610 what you see here is if you remember 365 00:18:04,660 --> 00:18:03,140 what we have discussed this morning 366 00:18:06,790 --> 00:18:04,670 there is a department which is the 367 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:06,800 development department right we had been 368 00:18:10,090 --> 00:18:07,970 talking about the sales and marketing 369 00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:10,100 department which did the market analysis 370 00:18:13,180 --> 00:18:11,840 then we have been talking about the 371 00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:13,190 development department which basically 372 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:14,809 pulls together the right products and 373 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:17,450 what tanya just said is there needs to 374 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:20,090 be a reliance on the on the research 375 00:18:22,180 --> 00:18:21,770 department on the science department 376 00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:22,190 right 377 00:18:26,740 --> 00:18:24,320 so that is that is basically why we were 378 00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:26,750 here so so we have we have chosen her 379 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:29,660 because she is actually a real real case 380 00:18:34,570 --> 00:18:32,450 representative right this is not just 381 00:18:36,310 --> 00:18:34,580 something we make up there sits someone 382 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:36,320 who is a representative of a business 383 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:38,570 and who has got certain expectations 384 00:18:45,580 --> 00:18:42,890 right to an audience such as this would 385 00:18:48,490 --> 00:18:45,590 you be able to just phrase in one or two 386 00:18:51,670 --> 00:18:48,500 sentences what you would ideally get out 387 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:51,680 of a group like that one or two 388 00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:54,290 sentences well I think it drives me back 389 00:18:57,490 --> 00:18:55,310 to actually something you said this 390 00:18:59,860 --> 00:18:57,500 morning and it's reason why I came up to 391 00:19:02,490 --> 00:18:59,870 you and you said in speaking to the 392 00:19:05,590 --> 00:19:02,500 crowd you said you have the gold and 393 00:19:07,810 --> 00:19:05,600 what that what that brought me to is 394 00:19:10,870 --> 00:19:07,820 that that is that is so true you guys 395 00:19:12,820 --> 00:19:10,880 have the gold well think of us as the 396 00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:12,830 mining company that will help you figure 397 00:19:17,020 --> 00:19:15,110 it out of mine it because we don't know 398 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:17,030 we don't know what the great ideas are 399 00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:19,250 but we know that we can help you find 400 00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:22,880 them so it's the it's the relationship 401 00:19:27,610 --> 00:19:24,710 building it's the communication piece 402 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:27,620 behind it it's the opportunity to sit 403 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:31,610 down with communities like this like SSC 404 00:19:36,670 --> 00:19:33,890 to understand what your science what 405 00:19:39,460 --> 00:19:36,680 your research is so that we can that the 406 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:39,470 business community can one potentially 407 00:19:45,490 --> 00:19:43,090 fund it and and then take it public and 408 00:19:47,650 --> 00:19:45,500 however that might look and that might 409 00:19:49,690 --> 00:19:47,660 not be of interest and it might be of an 410 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:49,700 amazing interest but there's such a 411 00:19:54,910 --> 00:19:53,570 great opportunity to work together and I 412 00:19:56,890 --> 00:19:54,920 think it's environments like this that 413 00:19:59,680 --> 00:19:56,900 give us the opportunity to do that and 414 00:20:01,930 --> 00:19:59,690 so yes that is one of the reasons I came 415 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:01,940 but I also came to learn and just to 416 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:03,410 experience it because I think it's an 417 00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:06,890 amazing opportunity to do that too and 418 00:20:12,580 --> 00:20:10,310 what what this tells us is there is an 419 00:20:14,740 --> 00:20:12,590 appetite for that right I mean it's not 420 00:20:17,410 --> 00:20:14,750 that we had forced them in they were 421 00:20:19,210 --> 00:20:17,420 voluntarily coming here in order to 422 00:20:20,980 --> 00:20:19,220 learn more and in order to understand 423 00:20:23,530 --> 00:20:20,990 what the key messages are and in order 424 00:20:26,020 --> 00:20:23,540 to engage so there is a real need there 425 00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:26,030 is a real need out there in the market 426 00:20:31,150 --> 00:20:28,370 for for interaction with communities 427 00:20:33,070 --> 00:20:31,160 such as us right so this is a tangible 428 00:20:34,540 --> 00:20:33,080 thing so thank you Tanya for that I'd 429 00:20:37,870 --> 00:20:34,550 like to ask 430 00:20:39,910 --> 00:20:37,880 Julie what other communities are there 431 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:39,920 which we probably need to engage with I 432 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:41,690 mean Tonya had already spoken about 433 00:20:46,540 --> 00:20:43,490 business but what what other communities 434 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:46,550 might be around my first thing things to 435 00:20:52,750 --> 00:20:50,450 say media because the public believes 436 00:20:54,130 --> 00:20:52,760 what media provides them the stories the 437 00:20:55,990 --> 00:20:54,140 narratives that media provides and 438 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:56,000 science isn't going to be able to change 439 00:20:59,890 --> 00:20:57,290 that and I don't think business or 440 00:21:01,900 --> 00:20:59,900 marketing necessarily but we need to be 441 00:21:04,570 --> 00:21:01,910 telling people the public the right 442 00:21:07,870 --> 00:21:04,580 stories yes you know we've seen I see so 443 00:21:10,660 --> 00:21:07,880 many movies where oh it's the sci-fi and 444 00:21:12,190 --> 00:21:10,670 we took the brain and we downloaded it 445 00:21:14,710 --> 00:21:12,200 and then we put it like we're not even 446 00:21:19,290 --> 00:21:14,720 in here like that's not relevant at all 447 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:19,300 and that is a silly story so Stu just to 448 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:22,490 sort of get our hands in media and stand 449 00:21:27,550 --> 00:21:24,650 to change the story that people are 450 00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:27,560 telling and hearing right that's how we 451 00:21:35,650 --> 00:21:32,960 changed you know same-sex marriage that 452 00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:35,660 became acceptable because people saw it 453 00:21:42,210 --> 00:21:38,240 on TV and transgender lifestyle you know 454 00:21:44,980 --> 00:21:42,220 not so media media is picking on this 455 00:21:47,620 --> 00:21:44,990 eye and non-local consciousness in the 456 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:47,630 media yeah so we have got business and 457 00:21:50,710 --> 00:21:49,730 media what is what are other ideas what 458 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:50,720 are other what we would call 459 00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:52,850 stakeholders what are other important 460 00:21:59,200 --> 00:21:54,710 communities which might be interested in 461 00:22:03,810 --> 00:21:59,210 what we are doing here education it's a 462 00:22:10,099 --> 00:22:03,820 big thing in education right I mean yeah 463 00:22:17,129 --> 00:22:14,129 experience so could you just I can't 464 00:22:19,019 --> 00:22:17,139 hear them sorry oh sorry people have got 465 00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:19,029 Sai experience yes now I got you okay 466 00:22:22,589 --> 00:22:20,320 that's great 467 00:22:24,930 --> 00:22:22,599 so you you mean to basically give them a 468 00:22:26,999 --> 00:22:24,940 kind of support of a backup that they 469 00:22:30,060 --> 00:22:27,009 actually that they are not just mad I 470 00:22:32,249 --> 00:22:30,070 mean in terms of a community yeah this 471 00:22:34,589 --> 00:22:32,259 is a kind of home right a belonging 472 00:22:35,999 --> 00:22:34,599 feeling of a belonging great 473 00:22:41,549 --> 00:22:36,009 is there another theory another vote 474 00:22:45,149 --> 00:22:41,559 here hi my name is fuchsia and for the 475 00:22:48,389 --> 00:22:45,159 past four years I have been hosting a 476 00:22:51,329 --> 00:22:48,399 podcast called shattered reality podcast 477 00:22:53,879 --> 00:22:51,339 which deals with many aspects of the 478 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:53,889 anomalous many of the things that we 479 00:23:01,589 --> 00:22:57,210 spoke about here today and yesterday 480 00:23:03,839 --> 00:23:01,599 there are 88 podcasts available 24/7 on 481 00:23:06,149 --> 00:23:03,849 the Internet this is totally 482 00:23:09,690 --> 00:23:06,159 non-commercial there are no business 483 00:23:12,450 --> 00:23:09,700 people involved and it's free to the 484 00:23:15,389 --> 00:23:12,460 public and I've tried to ask intelligent 485 00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:15,399 questions of intelligent people two of 486 00:23:21,570 --> 00:23:17,609 whom are on the stage with you right now 487 00:23:25,859 --> 00:23:21,580 and you don't talk about me right no not 488 00:23:28,979 --> 00:23:25,869 yet maybe someday

00:23:35,559 some interesting ideas about size 492 00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:37,830 phenomena the anomalous and 493 00:23:43,709 --> 00:23:41,200 consciousness I do this basically all by 494 00:23:46,229 --> 00:23:43,719 myself except the gentleman who records 495 00:23:48,719 --> 00:23:46,239 this if anybody would like to get 496 00:23:51,930 --> 00:23:48,729 involved and help me in any way with 497 00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:51,940 publicizing this it's it's nonprofit I 498 00:24:03,180 --> 00:23:55,440 make no profit I spend money on it okay 499 00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:03,190 thank you that's why I excuse me you 500 00:24:09,810 --> 00:24:06,789 shattered reality podcast wordpress.com 501 00:24:13,159 --> 00:24:09,820 there's a big pink there there's a big 502 00:24:15,509 --> 00:24:13,169 sign

00:24:19,149 is great because I think it's very 506 00:24:22,409 --> 00:24:20,859 important to also distinguish what Julia 507 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:22,419 has said Julia has I think you have 508 00:24:25,350 --> 00:24:23,410 referred to media 509 00:24:27,620 --> 00:24:25,360 as sort of the the professional media 510 00:24:30,450 --> 00:24:27,630 the film industry and these kind of 511 00:24:33,330 --> 00:24:30,460 groups right and what you are talking is 512 00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:33,340 basically the the lay audience I mean 513 00:24:36,660 --> 00:24:35,350 the the average person right and there 514 00:24:38,460 --> 00:24:36,670 is another channel there there are 515 00:24:39,870 --> 00:24:38,470 podcasts for example as you run them 516 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:39,880 thank you for this contribution this is 517 00:24:58,650 --> 00:24:57,250 really good no it's also for the 518 00:25:02,490 --> 00:24:58,660 recording it's for the recording it's 519 00:25:05,580 --> 00:25:02,500 better hello in terms of the communities 520 00:25:08,970 --> 00:25:05,590 the the two the two last examples are 521 00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:08,980 actually really great ones to to focus 522 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:11,020 on in all of these communities but the 523 00:25:16,260 --> 00:25:12,730 health care and education 524 00:25:18,540 --> 00:25:16,270 there is two communities really that 525 00:25:21,690 --> 00:25:18,550 we're talking about in each case there 526 00:25:23,460 --> 00:25:21,700 is the business of health care who 527 00:25:26,130 --> 00:25:23,470 probably really doesn't want to hear 528 00:25:27,900 --> 00:25:26,140 anything about this and then there's the 529 00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:27,910 essence of health care that really needs 530 00:25:32,910 --> 00:25:30,130 to hear about it and education the same 531 00:25:33,420 --> 00:25:32,920 way education who desperately needs this 532 00:25:36,090 --> 00:25:33,430 yeah 533 00:25:39,030 --> 00:25:36,100 the business of Education desperately 534 00:25:41,220 --> 00:25:39,040 does not want to hear about this so you 535 00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:41,230 know in all of these communities it's 536 00:25:44,430 --> 00:25:42,790 it's something to think about as we 537 00:25:47,850 --> 00:25:44,440 identify those communities and who to 538 00:25:50,450 --> 00:25:47,860 reach out to and to aya by all means we 539 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:50,460 should be doing this but to move forward 540 00:25:54,450 --> 00:25:52,930 deliberately and carefully and sensibly 541 00:25:56,370 --> 00:25:54,460 is an important piece of this I think 542 00:25:57,650 --> 00:25:56,380 yes and in in business in business 543 00:25:59,910 --> 00:25:57,660 language we would call it a 544 00:26:01,710 --> 00:25:59,920 communication strategy or communication 545 00:26:03,540 --> 00:26:01,720 plan basically right so you define who 546 00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:03,550 who to speak to and who should basically 547 00:26:10,050 --> 00:26:07,600 get what message yeah I just like to 548 00:26:13,610 --> 00:26:10,060 amplify a little bit about Geoff's 549 00:26:16,710 --> 00:26:13,620 comments on the business of healthcare 550 00:26:19,650 --> 00:26:16,720 by sharing something that I learned from 551 00:26:24,450 --> 00:26:19,660 a friend of mine who is an MD and a 552 00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:24,460 professor one of her class exercises for 553 00:26:29,730 --> 00:26:27,430 med students divides everybody up into 554 00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:29,740 small divides the class up into three 555 00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:32,350 groups and all of them have the same 556 00:26:37,620 --> 00:26:36,910 assignment design the ideal properties 557 00:26:40,770 --> 00:26:37,630 for 558 00:26:44,010 --> 00:26:40,780 perfect weight-loss drug and then she 559 00:26:45,870 --> 00:26:44,020 gives them the kicker you guys designed 560 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:45,880 the perfect weight-loss drug for the 561 00:26:51,180 --> 00:26:48,610 viewpoint of the patient you guys design 562 00:26:52,980 --> 00:26:51,190 it from the viewpoint of the doctor you 563 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:52,990 guys designed it from the viewpoint of a 564 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:54,850 pharmaceutical company perfect yeah yeah 565 00:26:58,560 --> 00:26:57,010 makes a lot of sense yeah this is 566 00:27:01,200 --> 00:26:58,570 tailored communication because we need 567 00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:01,210 to understand our stakeholders right so 568 00:27:06,030 --> 00:27:03,910 I don't really dive deeper in here but 569 00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:06,040 what we see is we have got business we 570 00:27:11,070 --> 00:27:08,470 have got media and we have got a lot of 571 00:27:13,350 --> 00:27:11,080 other a lot of other stakeholders which 572 00:27:14,790 --> 00:27:13,360 actually have an interest and vital 573 00:27:16,890 --> 00:27:14,800 interest in what we can produce 574 00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:16,900 collectively out of the SSE and and 575 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:18,880 similar organizations right so there is 576 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:22,570 there is a real market there but I'd 577 00:27:27,450 --> 00:27:25,090 like to draw to you Brenda to probably 578 00:27:30,090 --> 00:27:27,460 help us to understand how we could 579 00:27:31,590 --> 00:27:30,100 communicate how we should communicate so 580 00:27:34,290 --> 00:27:31,600 what should we do how what is the 581 00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:34,300 language we should use well I think you 582 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:38,710 just said the magic word language we 583 00:27:44,550 --> 00:27:42,610 have a tendency in well within that not 584 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:44,560 as much within this community but 585 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:46,450 certainly within the scientific and 586 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:49,690 academic and business communities and 587 00:28:00,750 --> 00:27:56,850 etc etc of the these parochial languages 588 00:28:04,070 --> 00:28:00,760 I can recall when I first started 589 00:28:07,530 --> 00:28:04,080 graduate school I went to a seminar 590 00:28:08,820 --> 00:28:07,540 probably the second week and I was 591 00:28:12,750 --> 00:28:08,830 trying to figure out what they were 592 00:28:15,060 --> 00:28:12,760 talking about and it hit me right then 593 00:28:17,340 --> 00:28:15,070 in there that this isn't about education 594 00:28:20,730 --> 00:28:17,350 this is about learning the proper 595 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:20,740 language that would identify me as a 596 00:28:27,690 --> 00:28:23,890 member of this community so that I can 597 00:28:30,660 --> 00:28:27,700 publish I can make presentations but I 598 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:30,670 can be recognized and it's it's part of 599 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:32,770 building fences but I think in a 600 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:38,290 non-productive way we tend to separate 601 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:41,370 ourselves out by the language we use and 602 00:28:47,460 --> 00:28:44,650 we take pride in having very specialized 603 00:28:48,940 --> 00:28:47,470 languages for this field for that field 604 00:28:53,070 --> 00:28:48,950 and 605 00:28:54,220 --> 00:28:53,080 works against real communication or 606 00:28:58,180 --> 00:28:54,230 Sicilians 607 00:29:02,010 --> 00:28:58,190 I think we have to be a giving thought 608 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:02,020 about meaning mm-hmm 609 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:05,330 try to understand what somebody else is 610 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:07,850 saying in their particular jargon and 611 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:11,570 how that relates to my particular jargon 612 00:29:16,990 --> 00:29:15,170 and trying to find common languages that 613 00:29:20,230 --> 00:29:17,000 would enable us to communicate with the 614 00:29:24,780 --> 00:29:20,240 broader society in you know and now 615 00:29:27,670 --> 00:29:24,790 we're back to the media or the marketing 616 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:27,680 but if science is going to contribute 617 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:29,810 something that is going to be meaningful 618 00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:33,290 to the GAVI the larger community or 619 00:29:40,090 --> 00:29:36,080 that's going to be marketable to the the 620 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:40,100 corporate community it has to it has to 621 00:29:46,930 --> 00:29:43,130 be understandable yes and not this sort 622 00:29:49,630 --> 00:29:46,940 of insular secret coded languages that 623 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:49,640 many academics and scientists pride 624 00:29:58,030 --> 00:29:52,850 themselves on that also applies within 625 00:30:00,630 --> 00:29:58,040 the academic world of course you know we 626 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:00,640 need to start looking at 627 00:30:07,870 --> 00:30:04,730 interdisciplinary communication and I'm 628 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:07,880 not talking about theoretical physicists 629 00:30:12,970 --> 00:30:10,130 taking an experimental physicist out to 630 00:30:15,250 --> 00:30:12,980 lunch every six months I'm talking about 631 00:30:18,940 --> 00:30:15,260 a theoretical physicist taking a 632 00:30:25,030 --> 00:30:18,950 philosopher out to lunch or a literature 633 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:25,040 major or a poet I and let me add to that 634 00:30:31,090 --> 00:30:27,890 is I think we need to recognize the 635 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:31,100 important role of the Arts as a 636 00:30:37,810 --> 00:30:34,130 musician's here yes as a vehicle of 637 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:37,820 communication yeah because through the 638 00:30:44,140 --> 00:30:40,690 arts we can communicate we can find 639 00:30:49,450 --> 00:30:44,150 languages that transcend the the 640 00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:49,460 specializations I am a very big fan of 641 00:30:56,410 --> 00:30:51,710 metaphor 642 00:30:59,260 --> 00:30:56,420 critical aspects of real communication 643 00:31:02,140 --> 00:30:59,270 in fact I think ultimately all 644 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:02,150 communication is metaphor because we are 645 00:31:07,570 --> 00:31:03,010 described 646 00:31:09,610 --> 00:31:07,580 something in language and usually we 647 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:09,620 can't describe it directly we can only 648 00:31:16,710 --> 00:31:11,930 say this is like that or this reminds me 649 00:31:21,340 --> 00:31:16,720 of so I think those language is really a 650 00:31:23,260 --> 00:31:21,350 vital aspect of where we need to go yes 651 00:31:26,140 --> 00:31:23,270 and yeah yeah absolutely 652 00:31:28,150 --> 00:31:26,150 I think that's a particular problem in 653 00:31:31,660 --> 00:31:28,160 this field because the language that we 654 00:31:33,820 --> 00:31:31,670 have often invokes like an emotional 655 00:31:36,460 --> 00:31:33,830 response like you know if you say 656 00:31:38,260 --> 00:31:36,470 telepathy clairvoyance to people like 657 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:38,270 some people will make a face no one ever 658 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:39,890 made that face to me when I said 659 00:31:49,540 --> 00:31:43,370 vascular endothelial growth factor until 660 00:31:51,190 --> 00:31:49,550 sorry but so there is an established 661 00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:51,200 language and we do have to use it but 662 00:31:55,630 --> 00:31:54,710 unfortunately that language makes people 663 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:55,640 uncomfortable 664 00:32:01,270 --> 00:31:57,530 yeah so that's a hurdle that we have to 665 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:01,280 deal with yeah totally agree to that 666 00:32:08,530 --> 00:32:05,930 point in our own research program we 667 00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:08,540 discovered very early on that if we use 668 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:11,440 the word psychic phenomena or 669 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:17,450 parapsychology people shuttles so we 670 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:19,250 started talking about consciousness 671 00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:22,730 related anomalies and I used to have a 672 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:24,710 lot of fun when I would meet some 673 00:32:30,220 --> 00:32:27,290 mainstream scientists who would say and 674 00:32:33,010 --> 00:32:30,230 what do you do young lady and I'll say 675 00:32:34,060 --> 00:32:33,020 oh I'm in human factors engineering oh 676 00:32:38,050 --> 00:32:34,070 really 677 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:38,060 what sort of do you I mean you know and 678 00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:41,090 I would go on well I am looking into 679 00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:44,360 human machine interactions and oh yeah 680 00:32:49,870 --> 00:32:46,310 no will tell me more well by the time we 681 00:32:53,500 --> 00:32:49,880 got another layer or two along they'd 682 00:32:56,380 --> 00:32:53,510 get this look she's talking about what I 683 00:32:59,800 --> 00:32:56,390 think she but you know I did get in 684 00:33:02,590 --> 00:32:59,810 there before he shut down and so we need 685 00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:02,600 to have the insular language among 686 00:33:08,500 --> 00:33:04,910 ourselves or between ourselves but we 687 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:08,510 also have to be able to generalize it to 688 00:33:14,139 --> 00:33:11,090 a broader community and we also have to 689 00:33:14,139 --> 00:33:14,149 be able to have fun with people 690 00:33:17,870 --> 00:33:16,310 definitely and I think that comes back 691 00:33:21,049 --> 00:33:17,880 to that what John was saying about the 692 00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:21,059 community of Sciences because sometimes 693 00:33:25,639 --> 00:33:22,710 the language doesn't matter you could 694 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:25,649 say oh well you know how like a mom can 695 00:33:28,490 --> 00:33:27,090 know that our kid got in a car accident 696 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:28,500 all the way across the country people 697 00:33:31,940 --> 00:33:30,330 yeah yeah that's what I'm talking about 698 00:33:33,620 --> 00:33:31,950 like you know it doesn't ever need the 699 00:33:36,169 --> 00:33:33,630 language because they know what that 700 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:36,179 phenomenon is true and stories that's 701 00:33:40,039 --> 00:33:38,130 another way that getting through to 702 00:33:44,029 --> 00:33:40,049 people are stories and that does come 703 00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:44,039 back to the media yeah yeah so Tonya 704 00:33:47,659 --> 00:33:46,110 what would be the language that you as a 705 00:33:49,159 --> 00:33:47,669 representative of the business world 706 00:33:51,409 --> 00:33:49,169 would understand 707 00:33:53,750 --> 00:33:51,419 I mean how should it sound that you 708 00:33:55,850 --> 00:33:53,760 understand it it's a really tough 709 00:33:58,039 --> 00:33:55,860 question and I and I I don't actually 710 00:34:01,039 --> 00:33:58,049 have an answer I think that that 711 00:34:02,419 --> 00:34:01,049 business is in a similar position we 712 00:34:04,460 --> 00:34:02,429 have our own language we talk about ROI 713 00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:04,470 we talk about marketing we talk about 714 00:34:11,869 --> 00:34:07,289 silos and and none of those things are 715 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:11,879 you know jargon words for academia so 716 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:14,010 it's it's I actually brought the 717 00:34:20,869 --> 00:34:16,290 communication piece up earlier it's it's 718 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:20,879 a huge issue how we communicate together 719 00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:24,450 I think isn't so much about creating a 720 00:34:28,369 --> 00:34:26,730 shared language as just working on it we 721 00:34:31,310 --> 00:34:28,379 just have to start working on it we have 722 00:34:33,290 --> 00:34:31,320 to start trying and asking a lot of 723 00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:33,300 questions I ask a lot of questions 724 00:34:37,490 --> 00:34:35,250 especially in a place like this where I 725 00:34:39,770 --> 00:34:37,500 know very little about what is happening 726 00:34:42,829 --> 00:34:39,780 so I have to ask a lot of questions and 727 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:42,839 I think one of the one of the things I 728 00:34:48,079 --> 00:34:45,570 come up against when I'm talking to PhD 729 00:34:50,629 --> 00:34:48,089 is in science off scientists often is as 730 00:34:53,030 --> 00:34:50,639 a business person it's oh stop asking me 731 00:34:54,919 --> 00:34:53,040 questions and that's difficult because 732 00:34:56,510 --> 00:34:54,929 we don't know so have a little bit of 733 00:35:01,970 --> 00:34:56,520 compassion for us and allow us to ask 734 00:35:03,980 --> 00:35:01,980 questions and and then and then we can 735 00:35:06,290 --> 00:35:03,990 work towards it and and by all means ask 736 00:35:08,690 --> 00:35:06,300 us questions and that's what you do in 737 00:35:09,740 --> 00:35:08,700 science you ask questions so I think 738 00:35:10,220 --> 00:35:09,750 that would probably be a good place to 739 00:35:15,070 --> 00:35:10,230 start 740 00:35:23,540 --> 00:35:20,140 in in the area of communications I think 741 00:35:28,069 --> 00:35:23,550 one thing that SSE can do and does do 742 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:28,079 very well is to cross the discipline 743 00:35:33,150 --> 00:35:31,450 barriers and language barriers because 744 00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:33,160 there's people here with so many 745 00:35:36,180 --> 00:35:34,720 different interest we've just seen this 746 00:35:38,730 --> 00:35:36,190 right I mean so many different 747 00:35:40,650 --> 00:35:38,740 backgrounds here and I know that I have 748 00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:40,660 learned a lot over the years listening 749 00:35:43,650 --> 00:35:42,400 to people who are coming from a 750 00:35:47,940 --> 00:35:43,660 different field or different 751 00:35:48,990 --> 00:35:47,950 perspectives and I have and but we have 752 00:35:51,540 --> 00:35:49,000 to listen to each other 753 00:35:54,660 --> 00:35:51,550 mm-hmm and this is something that we 754 00:35:57,059 --> 00:35:54,670 already do and perhaps there's some way 755 00:36:00,240 --> 00:35:57,069 we can promote this more assertively 756 00:36:03,390 --> 00:36:00,250 thank you so I have some experience with 757 00:36:05,690 --> 00:36:03,400 this language barrier so psychology is 758 00:36:08,010 --> 00:36:05,700 my main interest and I work a lot with 759 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:08,020 exploring subconscious and with hypnosis 760 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:11,290 I call the entire body of that work 761 00:36:15,059 --> 00:36:13,210 consciousness alchemy to include things 762 00:36:16,290 --> 00:36:15,069 like yoga as well as hypnosis 763 00:36:18,870 --> 00:36:16,300 there are things where you're changing 764 00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:18,880 the way your perspective works and I've 765 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:20,230 been very frustrated because the 766 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:23,490 terminologies from you know Jungian 767 00:36:29,220 --> 00:36:27,970 terminology to Sanskrit and yoga it's 768 00:36:31,049 --> 00:36:29,230 like we're talking about the same stuff 769 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:31,059 but we're using different words so it's 770 00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:32,410 very frustrating so I actually can 771 00:36:36,030 --> 00:36:34,510 maintain a glossary on my website I call 772 00:36:38,549 --> 00:36:36,040 it the consciousness alchemy glossary 773 00:36:40,289 --> 00:36:38,559 the page goes on a long time but if you 774 00:36:42,390 --> 00:36:40,299 bear with the page and read it it's it's 775 00:36:43,740 --> 00:36:42,400 basically like reading a glossary of all 776 00:36:45,539 --> 00:36:43,750 of these psychology terms that I've been 777 00:36:48,270 --> 00:36:45,549 collecting from places like young and 778 00:36:49,980 --> 00:36:48,280 like yoga and like other places in order 779 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:49,990 to have a reference so that when I write 780 00:36:53,819 --> 00:36:51,490 an article about these concepts I can 781 00:36:55,140 --> 00:36:53,829 actually link to the specific word in 782 00:36:56,549 --> 00:36:55,150 the glossary and you'll go right to that 783 00:36:57,900 --> 00:36:56,559 part of the page and you can read the 784 00:36:59,640 --> 00:36:57,910 definition and then continue reading the 785 00:37:02,700 --> 00:36:59,650 article without me having to redefine 786 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:02,710 what I mean by let's say Tana which is a 787 00:37:07,319 --> 00:37:05,410 Sanskrit word every time that I use it I 788 00:37:09,829 --> 00:37:07,329 think I think this is great I mean you 789 00:37:12,660 --> 00:37:09,839 you probably know the phenomena that you 790 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:12,670 speak to someone and you agree verbally 791 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:13,930 but you have been talking about 792 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:16,930 different things right I mean this these 793 00:37:20,460 --> 00:37:18,490 things happen and I think the glossary 794 00:37:22,470 --> 00:37:20,470 is a very good example I mean this is 795 00:37:23,849 --> 00:37:22,480 like just in conclusion basically I 796 00:37:25,799 --> 00:37:23,859 think what we need to spend more time 797 00:37:28,109 --> 00:37:25,809 figuring out how we're talking about the 798 00:37:30,359 --> 00:37:28,119 same thing and adopting other people's 799 00:37:32,370 --> 00:37:30,369 words so stop inventing a new word every 800 00:37:34,380 --> 00:37:32,380 time you come up with a new concept and 801 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:34,390 just consider that maybe somebody else 802 00:37:37,410 --> 00:37:36,010 had this concept and try to stretch your 803 00:37:38,819 --> 00:37:37,420 mind to try to figure out how the two 804 00:37:40,549 --> 00:37:38,829 concepts are the same instead of saying 805 00:37:42,049 --> 00:37:40,559 oh mine's different and making a new 806 00:37:43,549 --> 00:37:42,059 and there is something called 807 00:37:46,130 --> 00:37:43,559 consilience I don't know whether you've 808 00:37:48,199 --> 00:37:46,140 heard the never the word before and it 809 00:37:49,699 --> 00:37:48,209 makes a lot of sense if we if we have 810 00:37:52,579 --> 00:37:49,709 the same language if we talk about the 811 00:37:56,329 --> 00:37:52,589 same thing one other dimension of this 812 00:37:58,910 --> 00:37:56,339 is in terms in in addition to asking how 813 00:38:01,939 --> 00:37:58,920 we how our language affects or what 814 00:38:03,589 --> 00:38:01,949 what's the right language to positively 815 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:03,599 and effectively affect the world around 816 00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:07,410 us is to look at our own behaviors in 817 00:38:11,420 --> 00:38:09,630 our own language as we're using it even 818 00:38:13,249 --> 00:38:11,430 within our own dialects and I mean 819 00:38:15,739 --> 00:38:13,259 dialect in the sense that the panel just 820 00:38:18,589 --> 00:38:15,749 described it and I'll give you an 821 00:38:20,359 --> 00:38:18,599 example how many times have you heard 822 00:38:22,910 --> 00:38:20,369 somebody talk about the problem of 823 00:38:25,069 --> 00:38:22,920 energy or the problem of kinetic energy 824 00:38:26,599 --> 00:38:25,079 you don't hear that phrase terribly much 825 00:38:30,319 --> 00:38:26,609 how many times you hear people talk 826 00:38:33,549 --> 00:38:30,329 about the problem of consciousness why 827 00:38:36,469 --> 00:38:33,559 do we use why is that a problem right 828 00:38:38,449 --> 00:38:36,479 but but think about it as you're asking 829 00:38:40,130 --> 00:38:38,459 your own questions you know I need to I 830 00:38:43,039 --> 00:38:40,140 need to understand I need to explain 831 00:38:44,390 --> 00:38:43,049 consciousness I heard this a lot I don't 832 00:38:48,140 --> 00:38:44,400 ever hear anybody saying I need to 833 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:48,150 explain this chair what so as we're 834 00:38:52,910 --> 00:38:50,249 using our own language keep in mind that 835 00:38:56,439 --> 00:38:52,920 this that those words affect our own 836 00:38:59,179 --> 00:38:56,449 cells right so the languages is both 837 00:39:01,579 --> 00:38:59,189 externally facing per your question but 838 00:39:04,130 --> 00:39:01,589 it's also as an internal effect uniforms 839 00:39:05,359 --> 00:39:04,140 our own thinking and you know the only 840 00:39:07,039 --> 00:39:05,369 thing you can do about that is of course 841 00:39:10,099 --> 00:39:07,049 be conscious of it there's a word again 842 00:39:12,559 --> 00:39:10,109 but you know do your best to do so and I 843 00:39:14,479 --> 00:39:12,569 think that will help in all these 844 00:39:15,949 --> 00:39:14,489 communication issues that everybody else 845 00:39:18,009 --> 00:39:15,959 has been talking yeah there's a thought 846 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:18,019 - sure 847 00:39:21,620 --> 00:39:20,130 one other thing when you just when I 848 00:39:24,140 --> 00:39:21,630 just was listening to you which came to 849 00:39:25,849 --> 00:39:24,150 my mind is that in different languages 850 00:39:29,749 --> 00:39:25,859 or different communities have got 851 00:39:32,569 --> 00:39:29,759 sometimes a more detailed vocabulary I 852 00:39:34,939 --> 00:39:32,579 mean take for example the word snow we 853 00:39:38,749 --> 00:39:34,949 talk about snow but if you actually go 854 00:39:40,729 --> 00:39:38,759 to to Alaska to some of the some of the 855 00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:40,739 people living there they probably have 856 00:39:45,199 --> 00:39:42,689 got twenty to thirty different types of 857 00:39:46,519 --> 00:39:45,209 snow which they can distinguish and only 858 00:39:47,839 --> 00:39:46,529 when you have got twenty to thirty 859 00:39:49,999 --> 00:39:47,849 different types of snow that you can 860 00:39:52,039 --> 00:39:50,009 distinguish you can actually start sort 861 00:39:53,930 --> 00:39:52,049 of see correlations and these kinds of 862 00:39:55,579 --> 00:39:53,940 things we just talk snow I mean 863 00:39:57,410 --> 00:39:55,589 this is like this is like we talk 864 00:39:59,329 --> 00:39:57,420 consciousness while it's probably in the 865 00:40:00,770 --> 00:39:59,339 Eastern traditions the Vedic traditions 866 00:40:02,660 --> 00:40:00,780 or so there are different types of 867 00:40:04,970 --> 00:40:02,670 consciousness just in terms of 868 00:40:06,710 --> 00:40:04,980 terminology available right so I think I 869 00:40:08,270 --> 00:40:06,720 think this language thing this this 870 00:40:10,490 --> 00:40:08,280 communication thing is something where 871 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:10,500 we where we need to be extremely careful 872 00:40:17,500 --> 00:40:13,290 that we don't just fall into traps which 873 00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:39,050 sorry and I find that a fascinating 874 00:40:44,930 --> 00:40:41,910 opportunity to familiarize myself with 875 00:40:48,589 --> 00:40:44,940 different languages that are addressing 876 00:40:52,010 --> 00:40:48,599 similar topics we have published two 877 00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:52,020 anthologies in which we picked a topic 878 00:41:00,950 --> 00:40:56,910 and then we invited oh I don't know 14 879 00:41:04,250 --> 00:41:00,960 or 15 people from different disciplines 880 00:41:07,540 --> 00:41:04,260 from different countries and from 881 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:07,550 different you know personals 882 00:41:14,030 --> 00:41:11,010 perspectives to submit an essay or a 883 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:14,040 chapter and I then have the opportunity 884 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:16,290 to sit there and read all of these and 885 00:41:22,130 --> 00:41:19,650 say my god these they're all saying the 886 00:41:24,859 --> 00:41:22,140 same thing but they're saying it in 887 00:41:27,349 --> 00:41:24,869 totally different ways and in the 888 00:41:31,250 --> 00:41:27,359 process of doing the editing I find this 889 00:41:34,839 --> 00:41:31,260 very educational I am learning so maybe 890 00:41:38,660 --> 00:41:34,849 we need to listen to or read about or 891 00:41:40,780 --> 00:41:38,670 familiarize ourselves with languages 892 00:41:43,819 --> 00:41:40,790 other than our own to become 893 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:43,829 intellectually multilingual before 894 00:41:46,910 --> 00:41:44,970 you've got you cannot just add something 895 00:41:49,940 --> 00:41:46,920 to that particular case because it just 896 00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:49,950 came to my mind talking about the same 897 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:52,020 thing but using a different language I 898 00:41:57,380 --> 00:41:53,970 mean what popped up in my mind is we 899 00:42:00,260 --> 00:41:57,390 have got Wars based on religious 900 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:00,270 conflicts but if you really look into 901 00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:02,490 the into the essence 902 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:04,800 I'm not postulating this but I think 903 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:06,810 this is my gut feeling that the essence 904 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:07,410 of the 905 00:42:12,380 --> 00:42:10,770 message is probably similar right but we 906 00:42:13,849 --> 00:42:12,390 use and we are using different languages 907 00:42:15,829 --> 00:42:13,859 and I keep it easy I'm just bringing 908 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:15,839 this example up as it can even get so 909 00:42:21,109 --> 00:42:18,690 severe as there are Wars around that 910 00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:21,119 right if we don't get that right sorry 911 00:42:27,620 --> 00:42:24,510 two things one just the simple naming of 912 00:42:31,059 --> 00:42:27,630 things can sort of be pathologize it 913 00:42:33,349 --> 00:42:31,069 when people know like if like 914 00:42:35,539 --> 00:42:33,359 psychological disorders and go oh 915 00:42:38,569 --> 00:42:35,549 there's a name for that it's so common 916 00:42:40,010 --> 00:42:38,579 they named it I'm not all on my own so 917 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:40,020 when we have all this you know 918 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:42,690 glossaries of things that we can show 919 00:42:46,190 --> 00:42:44,130 people like no no that thing that 920 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:46,200 happened to you it's called this that 921 00:42:50,029 --> 00:42:48,690 people go oh it's real what happened to 922 00:42:53,329 --> 00:42:50,039 me and then the other thing I was going 923 00:42:55,279 --> 00:42:53,339 to say was the having a having a 924 00:42:59,180 --> 00:42:55,289 language to describe things can 925 00:43:00,410 --> 00:42:59,190 literally change perception I eyesight 926 00:43:02,660 --> 00:43:00,420 the city all the time where they took 927 00:43:04,069 --> 00:43:02,670 people taking a wine-tasting class and 928 00:43:05,420 --> 00:43:04,079 they were novices and they gave them 929 00:43:06,890 --> 00:43:05,430 three classes one they said taste these 930 00:43:08,420 --> 00:43:06,900 is this the same one or different wine 931 00:43:09,650 --> 00:43:08,430 they said that's all the same and then 932 00:43:11,779 --> 00:43:09,660 over the course of the class they 933 00:43:14,180 --> 00:43:11,789 learned would words like woody and 934 00:43:16,339 --> 00:43:14,190 fruity and by the end of the class they 935 00:43:18,170 --> 00:43:16,349 could literally taste the difference 936 00:43:20,900 --> 00:43:18,180 between the wines just by learning the 937 00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:20,910 terminology so it truly can change our 938 00:43:26,299 --> 00:43:23,250 perception of the world knowing these 939 00:43:28,279 --> 00:43:26,309 terms yes so there are a lot of tricks 940 00:43:31,789 --> 00:43:28,289 we can apply I think what for we get 941 00:43:33,529 --> 00:43:31,799 ordered my colleague Roger Nelson used 942 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:33,539 to carry around these little business 943 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:36,450 cards that read language bewitches 944 00:43:49,910 --> 00:43:48,210 intelligence all right so let's let's 945 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:49,920 close this conversation here around 946 00:43:54,500 --> 00:43:51,930 around language and communication I 947 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:54,510 think what what appears to be here is 948 00:43:58,430 --> 00:43:56,490 that this is really important that we 949 00:44:00,019 --> 00:43:58,440 think about that we think who we T who 950 00:44:01,849 --> 00:44:00,029 we talk to and how we talk to these 951 00:44:03,799 --> 00:44:01,859 people what what is the language that we 952 00:44:06,289 --> 00:44:03,809 actually use I would want to get you 953 00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:06,299 again involved in the in the next poll 954 00:44:12,650 --> 00:44:09,359 so the I'm going to release the next one 955 00:44:15,349 --> 00:44:12,660 which is just around the area of what is 956 00:44:18,289 --> 00:44:15,359 what is our understanding of science so 957 00:44:20,660 --> 00:44:18,299 these are actually coming from you right 958 00:44:21,230 --> 00:44:20,670 we haven't invented them but please vote 959 00:44:22,940 --> 00:44:21,240 on those 960 00:44:30,770 --> 00:44:22,950 kind of thing so what do you what you 961 00:44:35,510 --> 00:44:30,780 will think about that so here we are we 962 00:44:38,180 --> 00:44:35,520 have cut would you agree with that 963 00:44:42,650 --> 00:44:38,190 statement so we've got six people yeah 964 00:44:44,750 --> 00:44:42,660 there is we have got no one disagreeing 965 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:44,760 I need to disclose something to you when 966 00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:46,410 when Bill and I were talking about that 967 00:44:51,050 --> 00:44:48,240 and going through those statements bill 968 00:44:52,850 --> 00:44:51,060 said if there are statements where 969 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:52,860 anyone disagrees we should have a 970 00:45:00,470 --> 00:44:54,210 serious conversation whether you would 971 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:00,480 stay within the SSU or not no but this 972 00:45:04,100 --> 00:45:02,130 is this is interesting you see we have a 973 00:45:06,050 --> 00:45:04,110 strong we have a strength strong support 974 00:45:08,210 --> 00:45:06,060 for that one I'm going to go to the next 975 00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:08,220 to the next vote here to the next poll 976 00:45:14,270 --> 00:45:11,250 which is again coming from from one of 977 00:45:16,700 --> 00:45:14,280 you basically so it says truths requires 978 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:16,710 letting go of individuality separation 979 00:45:21,410 --> 00:45:18,810 belief dogma protection and ownership of 980 00:45:27,980 --> 00:45:21,420 knowledge would you agree or would you 981 00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:27,990 disagree with that again so far all we 982 00:45:31,730 --> 00:45:29,250 have got we have got a slight 983 00:45:34,580 --> 00:45:31,740 disagreement there even the bigger 984 00:45:38,599 --> 00:45:34,590 disagreement all right you see this is a 985 00:45:44,210 --> 00:45:38,609 more diverse response here I'm waiting 986 00:45:47,090 --> 00:45:44,220 for a couple of more votes so so this is 987 00:45:48,890 --> 00:45:47,100 this is not that obvious right so I'm 988 00:45:51,770 --> 00:45:48,900 just wondering what is the difference 989 00:45:54,470 --> 00:45:51,780 here I mean is it where where does it 990 00:45:56,630 --> 00:45:54,480 come from why is there why is there not 991 00:45:59,450 --> 00:45:56,640 so much of a support there can someone 992 00:46:01,070 --> 00:45:59,460 just out of intuition why why is there 993 00:46:05,660 --> 00:46:01,080 less of an agreement here the microphone 994 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:05,670 is coming well I teach sociology of 995 00:46:10,430 --> 00:46:08,010 knowledge and that I think the problem 996 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:10,440 is probably that we know that that's not 997 00:46:15,820 --> 00:46:13,770 what actually happens and that science 998 00:46:18,710 --> 00:46:15,830 is not objective even though it's a nice 999 00:46:20,690 --> 00:46:18,720 it's a nice goal we would like science 1000 00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:20,700 to be objective and so would I I'm a 1001 00:46:25,010 --> 00:46:22,730 sort of a moderate on this issue but 1002 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:25,020 actually knowledge is socially 1003 00:46:29,900 --> 00:46:27,330 constructed so that I think one reason 1004 00:46:31,359 --> 00:46:29,910 why people might be hesitant is that 1005 00:46:33,039 --> 00:46:31,369 they know that they know that it's 1006 00:46:37,059 --> 00:46:33,049 grounded in 1007 00:46:43,329 --> 00:46:37,069 in social construction mm-hmm okay true 1008 00:46:46,599 --> 00:46:43,339 yeah okay I'd like to ask a 1009 00:46:51,159 --> 00:46:46,609 supplementary question on a scale of one 1010 00:46:54,399 --> 00:46:51,169 to thirty seven currently how many 1011 00:46:58,630 --> 00:46:54,409 definitions of truth do we think we have 1012 00:47:00,219 --> 00:46:58,640 in this room and again it's you you 1013 00:47:01,539 --> 00:47:00,229 allude to it to a language thing again 1014 00:47:03,370 --> 00:47:01,549 right it's a definitional thing it's a 1015 00:47:05,889 --> 00:47:03,380 glossary thing okay so I would actually 1016 00:47:08,439 --> 00:47:05,899 have a definition of truth that goes 1017 00:47:13,269 --> 00:47:08,449 that the total objective truth is the 1018 00:47:16,689 --> 00:47:13,279 sum of all subjective truths okay good 1019 00:47:19,089 --> 00:47:16,699 that's there there is a yes sorry um how 1020 00:47:21,339 --> 00:47:19,099 can you let go of into individuality is 1021 00:47:23,380 --> 00:47:21,349 that even possible that's why I have an 1022 00:47:26,679 --> 00:47:23,390 objection okay okay they were there what 1023 00:47:28,839 --> 00:47:26,689 you see so this is your Q on the subject 1024 00:47:31,319 --> 00:47:28,849 of truth which we've been discussing I 1025 00:47:35,409 --> 00:47:31,329 just wanted to throw out a thought that 1026 00:47:37,899 --> 00:47:35,419 came from a book on philosophy I read a 1027 00:47:40,809 --> 00:47:37,909 while ago what difference is there 1028 00:47:47,620 --> 00:47:40,819 between saying X is true and simply 1029 00:47:49,179 --> 00:47:47,630 saying X all right this this is the part 1030 00:47:50,439 --> 00:47:49,189 where the science community is basically 1031 00:47:52,749 --> 00:47:50,449 more than more advanced than the 1032 00:47:56,409 --> 00:47:52,759 engineers from Germany but I think about 1033 00:47:58,689 --> 00:47:56,419 this sorry we can yeah there is another 1034 00:48:01,749 --> 00:47:58,699 one one man's truth is another person's 1035 00:48:04,989 --> 00:48:01,759 propaganda one man's truth is another 1036 00:48:07,329 --> 00:48:04,999 person's propaganda Wow strong all right 1037 00:48:09,339 --> 00:48:07,339 so again here we see we see these kind 1038 00:48:11,289 --> 00:48:09,349 of things I'm going to just go to the 1039 00:48:14,139 --> 00:48:11,299 next poll because we have got can I 1040 00:48:16,209 --> 00:48:14,149 bring just up one other thought well are 1041 00:48:18,249 --> 00:48:16,219 you sorry right here I just want to 1042 00:48:20,529 --> 00:48:18,259 bring up a different point oh I'm not 1043 00:48:23,109 --> 00:48:20,539 yes oh you're intellectually not tied to 1044 00:48:25,179 --> 00:48:23,119 one way or the other but I think the 1045 00:48:28,779 --> 00:48:25,189 point that someone's trying to get 1046 00:48:30,999 --> 00:48:28,789 across here is from my understanding in 1047 00:48:33,279 --> 00:48:31,009 the old like maybe back in Greek times 1048 00:48:35,139 --> 00:48:33,289 when someone had an idea it was a 1049 00:48:37,149 --> 00:48:35,149 compliment for someone to take your idea 1050 00:48:38,139 --> 00:48:37,159 and build upon it that was considered a 1051 00:48:41,469 --> 00:48:38,149 good thing mm-hm 1052 00:48:44,019 --> 00:48:41,479 whereas I feel in modern society to a 1053 00:48:46,479 --> 00:48:44,029 particular degree the whole point is 1054 00:48:46,990 --> 00:48:46,489 about let me get my idea let me monetize 1055 00:48:50,770 --> 00:48:47,000 it 1056 00:48:53,950 --> 00:48:50,780 and if you think I'm gonna let you touch 1057 00:48:56,380 --> 00:48:53,960 my idea whether it's adjusted or 1058 00:48:58,300 --> 00:48:56,390 something like that I will sue you out 1059 00:49:00,130 --> 00:48:58,310 of existence or I'll basically trample 1060 00:49:02,530 --> 00:49:00,140 you down because I've got my idea I'm 1061 00:49:04,390 --> 00:49:02,540 gonna wield it and I'm not letting it 1062 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:04,400 get changed so I think just throwing 1063 00:49:06,820 --> 00:49:05,450 that on there I think all the things 1064 00:49:08,950 --> 00:49:06,830 that people said are totally legitimate 1065 00:49:11,590 --> 00:49:08,960 points but I I kind of feel like that's 1066 00:49:13,570 --> 00:49:11,600 maybe some part of where this statement 1067 00:49:14,620 --> 00:49:13,580 is coming from and and with that I kind 1068 00:49:16,300 --> 00:49:14,630 of agree with where I think maybe 1069 00:49:18,490 --> 00:49:16,310 they're coming from yeah so there is a 1070 00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:18,500 bit of a protectionism that that we are 1071 00:49:23,350 --> 00:49:21,530 talking about right now and and this 1072 00:49:24,910 --> 00:49:23,360 just reminds me and when we do 1073 00:49:28,390 --> 00:49:24,920 communication trainings with senior 1074 00:49:35,380 --> 00:49:28,400 executives there we we tend to use the 1075 00:49:37,390 --> 00:49:35,390 yes but right I hear you yes but and and 1076 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:37,400 a colleague of mine has just got a 1077 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:39,530 brilliant thing around the yes but he 1078 00:49:47,770 --> 00:49:42,050 says every yes but is a declaration of 1079 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:47,780 war think about this it's true and think 1080 00:49:53,380 --> 00:49:51,170 about how often we use yes buts every 1081 00:49:55,900 --> 00:49:53,390 single yes but is a declaration of war 1082 00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:55,910 all right let's just go let's just go to 1083 00:50:00,580 --> 00:49:57,530 the next poll the next poll basically 1084 00:50:03,220 --> 00:50:00,590 says incorporate all existing evidence 1085 00:50:14,150 --> 00:50:03,230 without excluding inconvenient outliers 1086 00:50:17,910 --> 00:50:16,289 yeah sorry um 1087 00:50:19,319 --> 00:50:17,920 this is bad sorry I haven't thought 1088 00:50:21,510 --> 00:50:19,329 about this so the the question is 1089 00:50:23,430 --> 00:50:21,520 incorporate all exploded statement is 1090 00:50:26,549 --> 00:50:23,440 incorporate all existing evidence 1091 00:50:30,890 --> 00:50:26,559 without excluding inconvenient outliers 1092 00:50:40,890 --> 00:50:30,900 so this is not just hiding some of the 1093 00:50:44,150 --> 00:50:40,900 stuff yeah so so we have we have a 1094 00:50:47,870 --> 00:50:44,160 couple of people basically who's who are 1095 00:50:51,270 --> 00:50:47,880 who are still in agreement with with 64% 1096 00:50:53,430 --> 00:50:51,280 which is okay just just out of out of 1097 00:50:54,870 --> 00:50:53,440 time and timing issues I'm just I'm just 1098 00:50:59,240 --> 00:50:54,880 running through the next one here just 1099 00:51:02,160 --> 00:50:59,250 before you do justjust wig anecdote we 1100 00:51:04,710 --> 00:51:02,170 written a book called margins of reality 1101 00:51:06,900 --> 00:51:04,720 and my colleague and I could great deal 1102 00:51:10,799 --> 00:51:06,910 of difficulty figuring out how to end it 1103 00:51:12,690 --> 00:51:10,809 and there was one aspect of it that we 1104 00:51:16,039 --> 00:51:12,700 wanted to end up saying something like 1105 00:51:18,779 --> 00:51:16,049 everything in this book may be wrong but 1106 00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:18,789 instead we told this story about this 1107 00:51:25,049 --> 00:51:22,089 king who sent his wise men out to come 1108 00:51:28,019 --> 00:51:25,059 back and summarize all the wisdom of the 1109 00:51:30,690 --> 00:51:28,029 world in one word and it took them a 1110 00:51:32,849 --> 00:51:30,700 long time but they finally returned and 1111 00:51:39,299 --> 00:51:32,859 the King said well you know what have 1112 00:51:42,269 --> 00:51:39,309 you got and they said perhaps for very 1113 00:51:43,950 --> 00:51:42,279 good no it's true indeed yeah absolutely 1114 00:51:45,870 --> 00:51:43,960 sorry and we have we have already I 1115 00:51:49,079 --> 00:51:45,880 think I've already activated in the new 1116 00:51:51,390 --> 00:51:49,089 one the new one said except anomalies 1117 00:51:55,349 --> 00:51:51,400 got it right except anomalies as 1118 00:51:58,230 --> 00:51:55,359 indicative current limitations on on 1119 00:52:01,880 --> 00:51:58,240 hours on our understanding as opposed to 1120 00:52:05,970 --> 00:52:01,890 reasons for this missile of anomalies I 1121 00:52:09,829 --> 00:52:05,980 think we have a pretty strong explicit 1122 00:52:13,039 --> 00:52:09,839 voting there as well keep on moving 1123 00:52:16,079 --> 00:52:13,049 there is a next one which basically says 1124 00:52:20,620 --> 00:52:16,089 don't contradict existing theories 1125 00:52:26,860 --> 00:52:22,720 oh sorry I should switch on the results 1126 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:26,870 that you see it oh here is something 1127 00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:31,490 happening Oh a lot of movements you 1128 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:34,250 can't see it sorry this is like oh you 1129 00:52:39,610 --> 00:52:35,810 could see the boss this is helpful if I 1130 00:52:44,650 --> 00:52:39,620 just put this all right here this is 1131 00:52:51,190 --> 00:52:44,660 this is right so this is this is very 1132 00:52:52,690 --> 00:52:51,200 indifferent here right so so so we have 1133 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:52,700 got we have got the challenges here in 1134 00:52:56,380 --> 00:52:54,530 the room who basically support the idea 1135 00:52:59,590 --> 00:52:56,390 and we have got the defenders in the 1136 00:53:02,740 --> 00:52:59,600 room I think one of the problems with 1137 00:53:04,330 --> 00:53:02,750 this question is what does significant 1138 00:53:06,910 --> 00:53:04,340 mean in this context 1139 00:53:10,210 --> 00:53:06,920 okay there could be the case yeah 1140 00:53:13,300 --> 00:53:10,220 absolutely so I think it's it's an 1141 00:53:16,870 --> 00:53:13,310 interesting thing yeah what kind of 1142 00:53:19,030 --> 00:53:16,880 theories you're talking about yeah I I 1143 00:53:20,590 --> 00:53:19,040 mean I can't tell because I haven't come 1144 00:53:22,780 --> 00:53:20,600 up with these questions but but this is 1145 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:22,790 all with these statements but well but I 1146 00:53:27,610 --> 00:53:24,650 mean you know the theory could be you 1147 00:53:29,590 --> 00:53:27,620 know some racist nonsense or it could be 1148 00:53:32,020 --> 00:53:29,600 something that's scientifically sound 1149 00:53:33,580 --> 00:53:32,030 yeah I think I don't think we can assume 1150 00:53:35,950 --> 00:53:33,590 that we're dealing with something that 1151 00:53:38,770 --> 00:53:35,960 is carefully thought out or 1152 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:38,780 evidence-based necessarily I think this 1153 00:53:42,940 --> 00:53:40,850 is a very good point because we start 1154 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:42,950 with base assumptions right I'm picking 1155 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:44,930 up on your word of assumption here that 1156 00:53:48,820 --> 00:53:47,090 we what is our base assumption if we 1157 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:48,830 meet someone what is the base assumption 1158 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:50,330 if we actually look at some scientific 1159 00:53:54,610 --> 00:53:52,610 reports do we trust that person to which 1160 00:53:56,140 --> 00:53:54,620 roster that is correct or are we more 1161 00:53:59,650 --> 00:53:56,150 skeptical about it I think this is an 1162 00:54:01,870 --> 00:53:59,660 important thing so let's just let's just 1163 00:54:04,180 --> 00:54:01,880 keep on running here I think that should 1164 00:54:07,060 --> 00:54:04,190 be a very easy one interdisciplinary 1165 00:54:09,370 --> 00:54:07,070 collaboration we've been talking about 1166 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:09,380 this we've been saying that conceal 1167 00:54:16,470 --> 00:54:10,970 Ian's is basically based around that I 1168 00:54:21,990 --> 00:54:18,840 good 1169 00:54:26,340 --> 00:54:22,000 I think this next one might be 1170 00:54:29,310 --> 00:54:26,350 interesting it says integrating science 1171 00:54:30,990 --> 00:54:29,320 technology and humanities with all the 1172 00:54:34,050 --> 00:54:31,000 other related sciences 1173 00:54:40,330 --> 00:54:34,060 I think the particular tension is around 1174 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:42,700 I am going to refuse to answer this 1175 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:45,770 question because it it broke my brain to 1176 00:54:50,860 --> 00:54:47,690 think about integrating science with all 1177 00:54:53,140 --> 00:54:50,870 other sciences yeah there there there is 1178 00:54:57,250 --> 00:54:53,150 a closed loop there is a closed loop 1179 00:55:03,280 --> 00:54:57,260 here this is just for its good yeah for 1180 00:55:05,380 --> 00:55:03,290 all of the IT guys amongst us this is 1181 00:55:08,020 --> 00:55:05,390 this is a nice one here let's let's go 1182 00:55:11,620 --> 00:55:08,030 for that one combined subjective and 1183 00:55:13,210 --> 00:55:11,630 objective measures of consciousness so 1184 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:13,220 this is interesting because I have got 1185 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:15,970 no idea what you will 1186 00:55:21,430 --> 00:55:19,370 alright so most of you agree there is 1187 00:55:23,230 --> 00:55:21,440 there is one disagreement one strong 1188 00:55:28,420 --> 00:55:23,240 disagreement fully or probably even more 1189 00:55:30,430 --> 00:55:28,430 it's getting less can I have can I mean 1190 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:30,440 you don't need to if you if you are not 1191 00:55:34,300 --> 00:55:32,090 feeling comfortable but it's an open 1192 00:55:36,850 --> 00:55:34,310 question is there someone willing who 1193 00:55:39,460 --> 00:55:36,860 has voted against that just to sort of 1194 00:55:40,870 --> 00:55:39,470 say why why you've voted against it just 1195 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:40,880 in case you want to you don't have to 1196 00:55:48,690 --> 00:55:43,490 disclose yourself all right okay fair 1197 00:55:53,370 --> 00:55:51,359 I'm not sure what it means to combine 1198 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:53,380 subjective and objective but then I 1199 00:55:59,310 --> 00:55:56,650 would also argue that I would I would I 1200 00:56:00,990 --> 00:55:59,320 would enjoy a debate on the nature of 1201 00:56:06,060 --> 00:56:01,000 how you draw the line between subjective 1202 00:56:06,690 --> 00:56:06,070 and objective yeah yeah I think that's 1203 00:56:09,990 --> 00:56:06,700 that's true 1204 00:56:12,599 --> 00:56:10,000 so I answer that one with a one because 1205 00:56:16,410 --> 00:56:12,609 in my world there is no such thing as 1206 00:56:17,579 --> 00:56:16,420 objectivity yeah so again we have got 1207 00:56:19,319 --> 00:56:17,589 different worldviews different 1208 00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:19,329 perspectives I think you say it's 1209 00:56:23,490 --> 00:56:21,250 difficult to basically draw a border 1210 00:56:25,410 --> 00:56:23,500 between them you say in your world there 1211 00:56:28,829 --> 00:56:25,420 isn't there is an object to objectivity 1212 00:56:30,540 --> 00:56:28,839 at all right so again this is also 1213 00:56:32,099 --> 00:56:30,550 something which we need to take into 1214 00:56:34,500 --> 00:56:32,109 account when we talk about it 1215 00:56:37,050 --> 00:56:34,510 could I make a comment on that one I 1216 00:56:39,180 --> 00:56:37,060 think the word combine is confusing and 1217 00:56:42,089 --> 00:56:39,190 it implies the question implies a 1218 00:56:45,420 --> 00:56:42,099 duality mm-hmm it implies it's either/or 1219 00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:45,430 mm-hmm but I think a more productive 1220 00:56:51,150 --> 00:56:48,490 approach is to take a complimentary one 1221 00:56:54,180 --> 00:56:51,160 where you say the subjective perspective 1222 00:56:55,770 --> 00:56:54,190 and an objective perspective or just two 1223 00:56:58,079 --> 00:56:55,780 different ways of looking at the same 1224 00:57:01,500 --> 00:56:58,089 thing yes so one doesn't have to combine 1225 00:57:06,829 --> 00:57:01,510 them one simply has to recognize that 1226 00:57:08,940 --> 00:57:06,839 they are two valid approaches okay yeah 1227 00:57:12,510 --> 00:57:08,950 do you want to say something what you 1228 00:57:15,510 --> 00:57:12,520 just ah okay oh I thought you wouldn't 1229 00:57:17,849 --> 00:57:15,520 want to take it away from her 1230 00:57:23,069 --> 00:57:17,859 good so the next one which we have got 1231 00:57:24,930 --> 00:57:23,079 here sass I was just going to give you 1232 00:57:27,150 --> 00:57:24,940 an example the last one that I just 1233 00:57:29,460 --> 00:57:27,160 happen to think about so you're a doctor 1234 00:57:31,770 --> 00:57:29,470 maybe and you've got all your 1235 00:57:33,780 --> 00:57:31,780 instruments you're checking with the 1236 00:57:35,550 --> 00:57:33,790 patient you know you you know the 1237 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:35,560 information about their blood or what 1238 00:57:39,390 --> 00:57:37,810 the x-rays show and so on but wouldn't 1239 00:57:41,430 --> 00:57:39,400 you want to ask them how they feel 1240 00:57:43,050 --> 00:57:41,440 subjectively I mean I think that's an 1241 00:57:45,270 --> 00:57:43,060 example of the way too you would want to 1242 00:57:50,050 --> 00:57:45,280 combine subjective and objective types 1243 00:57:57,490 --> 00:57:54,330 yeah leverage both yeah yeah yeah yeah 1244 00:57:59,140 --> 00:57:57,500 yeah all right 1245 00:58:01,320 --> 00:57:59,150 good the next one which we've got here 1246 00:58:03,310 --> 00:58:01,330 on the list is collaborate and drive 1247 00:58:05,500 --> 00:58:03,320 consilience together with other 1248 00:58:07,510 --> 00:58:05,510 organizations I mean there is just 1249 00:58:09,790 --> 00:58:07,520 another organization named here but but 1250 00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:09,800 is it is it something which we regard as 1251 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:12,650 valuable to not just stay within the sse 1252 00:58:15,970 --> 00:58:14,330 but to draw conclusions and consilience 1253 00:58:19,260 --> 00:58:15,980 across different organizations is the 1254 00:58:22,750 --> 00:58:19,270 question and I think we have got a 1255 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:22,760 pretty strong vote in in the positive 1256 00:58:30,550 --> 00:58:26,210 direction all right still changing 1257 00:58:35,890 --> 00:58:30,560 slightly all right let me make a comment 1258 00:58:37,980 --> 00:58:35,900 on that one I am really delighted by the 1259 00:58:40,870 --> 00:58:37,990 fact that we have three female 1260 00:58:43,110 --> 00:58:40,880 commentators sitting up here and I find 1261 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:43,120 myself thinking how I you know there is 1262 00:58:48,670 --> 00:58:46,010 predominantly academia it tends to be 1263 00:58:52,090 --> 00:58:48,680 predominantly patriarchal and masculine 1264 00:58:54,910 --> 00:58:52,100 and as such there is a tendency for it 1265 00:58:57,850 --> 00:58:54,920 to become very territorial mm-hmm 1266 00:58:59,800 --> 00:58:57,860 and very protective of its own field of 1267 00:59:02,740 --> 00:58:59,810 its own work and you know its own 1268 00:59:05,710 --> 00:59:02,750 publications its own whatever and yet I 1269 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:05,720 find you know this is a big hello for an 1270 00:59:10,450 --> 00:59:07,730 example we haven't been living together 1271 00:59:14,890 --> 00:59:10,460 long enough but I think there's a 1272 00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:14,900 tendency for women to be more inclined 1273 00:59:26,980 --> 00:59:18,110 to collaborate to to share information 1274 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:26,990 or to cross those boundaries yeah is 1275 00:59:32,590 --> 00:59:30,650 that the same in business business is 1276 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:32,600 absolutely a patriarchal community I'm 1277 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:34,370 absolutely the oddball and pretty much 1278 00:59:40,870 --> 00:59:37,130 every meeting I go to but I think the 1279 00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:40,880 the one thing that I find is for myself 1280 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:43,370 and my female counterparts we're far 1281 00:59:49,330 --> 00:59:46,730 more willing to say we don't know please 1282 00:59:51,340 --> 00:59:49,340 help mmm-hmm then my male counterparts 1283 00:59:53,620 --> 00:59:51,350 and I think that's something that with 1284 00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:53,630 more women in the business place 1285 00:59:58,210 --> 00:59:55,730 is a great advantage for where we are 1286 00:59:59,860 --> 00:59:58,220 today this just reminds me of another 1287 01:00:02,500 --> 00:59:59,870 concept which we often teach when we 1288 01:00:03,910 --> 01:00:02,510 when we do executive classes and that's 1289 01:00:07,900 --> 01:00:03,920 the difference between being an 1290 01:00:10,359 --> 01:00:07,910 and Alona Noah is someone who actually 1291 01:00:12,670 --> 01:00:10,369 knows and the learner is someone who 1292 01:00:15,130 --> 01:00:12,680 actually is interested in learning more 1293 01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:15,140 things and I think we have the tendency 1294 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:16,930 naturally and I'm talking about myself 1295 01:00:22,809 --> 01:00:21,170 at least to be to be in Noah instead of 1296 01:00:25,650 --> 01:00:22,819 a learner and it takes it takes a real 1297 01:00:30,430 --> 01:00:25,660 effort to switch the mindset to into a 1298 01:00:32,620 --> 01:00:30,440 learners attitude sometimes right so let 1299 01:00:35,260 --> 01:00:32,630 me just go through the next one which we 1300 01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:35,270 have here at hand information should be 1301 01:00:42,150 --> 01:00:38,450 released in common terms so the general 1302 01:00:44,319 --> 01:00:42,160 public can benefit from consilience 1303 01:00:46,450 --> 01:00:44,329 that's basically what we have been 1304 01:00:48,339 --> 01:00:46,460 talking about right yeah I say it one 1305 01:00:51,309 --> 01:00:48,349 more time for you information should be 1306 01:00:57,400 --> 01:00:51,319 released in common terms so the general 1307 01:00:59,650 --> 01:00:57,410 public can benefit from consilience and 1308 01:01:03,010 --> 01:00:59,660 this is interesting because we have we 1309 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:03,020 have got 70% currently around there with 1310 01:01:09,430 --> 01:01:06,410 with 35 38 votes so this is this is 1311 01:01:11,650 --> 01:01:09,440 strong because this is a question which 1312 01:01:13,870 --> 01:01:11,660 basically picks up what we had discussed 1313 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:13,880 before around language right this is 1314 01:01:17,109 --> 01:01:16,010 really important and it's it's good that 1315 01:01:20,049 --> 01:01:17,119 we actually see this here 1316 01:01:23,799 --> 01:01:20,059 in the votes as well I'm launching the 1317 01:01:26,589 --> 01:01:23,809 next vote which says productive use of 1318 01:01:31,780 --> 01:01:26,599 metaphor in communication and scientific 1319 01:01:33,549 --> 01:01:31,790 principles who does that come from yeah 1320 01:01:36,789 --> 01:01:33,559 you heard that before right I think I 1321 01:01:38,980 --> 01:01:36,799 remember that was from you so so if you 1322 01:01:46,809 --> 01:01:38,990 if you want to disagree with Brander do 1323 01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:46,819 it now right okay I'm going to going to 1324 01:01:54,490 --> 01:01:51,170 go to the next one it says data must be 1325 01:01:57,700 --> 01:01:54,500 shared in a common forum without without 1326 01:02:08,170 --> 01:01:57,710 the profit motive without a profit 1327 01:02:08,180 --> 01:02:14,170 well this is interesting 1328 01:02:18,730 --> 01:02:16,630 so there's there seems to be there seems 1329 01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:18,740 to be it's not it's not that clear right 1330 01:02:24,339 --> 01:02:20,930 it's where does this uncertainty come 1331 01:02:28,029 --> 01:02:24,349 from here so here's a statement where 1332 01:02:30,069 --> 01:02:28,039 the uncertainty may come from yeah I 1333 01:02:33,250 --> 01:02:30,079 think this conflates to principles one 1334 01:02:34,750 --> 01:02:33,260 is that the ethos of science is that it 1335 01:02:38,260 --> 01:02:34,760 knowledge should be shared without 1336 01:02:40,299 --> 01:02:38,270 interest but there's also intellectual 1337 01:02:42,700 --> 01:02:40,309 property so there are two complete 1338 01:02:46,089 --> 01:02:42,710 competing values but in terms of pure 1339 01:02:49,359 --> 01:02:46,099 science you're supposed to share okay 1340 01:02:50,829 --> 01:02:49,369 got that yeah yeah all right the next 1341 01:02:53,279 --> 01:02:50,839 one we've got and we aren't we are on 1342 01:02:56,650 --> 01:02:53,289 the on the finishing line above that 1343 01:02:58,839 --> 01:02:56,660 academia should be a large part of this 1344 01:03:11,920 --> 01:02:58,849 effort particularly with the inquisitive 1345 01:03:15,849 --> 01:03:13,839 this is a good question I don't know 1346 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:15,859 where where academia starts I sometimes 1347 01:03:22,029 --> 01:03:17,690 felt that when my kids were small they 1348 01:03:25,529 --> 01:03:22,039 were more clever than I was so but we 1349 01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:25,539 have a we have a sort of relatively 1350 01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:29,450 strong boat there again I'm just running 1351 01:03:34,599 --> 01:03:30,890 through this because I know that we have 1352 01:03:37,660 --> 01:03:34,609 we've got you there all R&D needs to be 1353 01:03:40,269 --> 01:03:37,670 an interdisciplinary approach in order 1354 01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:40,279 to make significant discoveries and 1355 01:03:48,130 --> 01:03:43,130 accomplishments all R&D needs to be an 1356 01:03:53,069 --> 01:03:48,140 interdisciplinary approach oh yeah we 1357 01:03:57,789 --> 01:03:53,079 also got oh oh look at that there is 1358 01:04:01,390 --> 01:03:57,799 there is disagreement here so it's it's 1359 01:04:05,289 --> 01:04:01,400 probably because of the word all yeah I 1360 01:04:08,470 --> 01:04:05,299 was guessing so right so it's I mean 1361 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:08,480 this is like it's the wording and again 1362 01:04:11,529 --> 01:04:11,210 we need to be careful but me language 1363 01:04:16,180 --> 01:04:11,539 matters 1364 01:04:18,819 --> 01:04:16,190 really individual words which could 1365 01:04:21,660 --> 01:04:18,829 actually make or break it right so only 1366 01:04:30,789 --> 01:04:26,849 flow plurality how do you pronounce that 1367 01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:30,799 yeah plurality of methods and approaches 1368 01:04:43,670 --> 01:04:41,599 those that question whoever whoever 1369 01:04:49,450 --> 01:04:43,680 raised that whoever brought that 1370 01:04:54,470 --> 01:04:49,460 statement up leave the room that damned 1371 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:54,480 come on I mean awful all right next one 1372 01:04:58,220 --> 01:04:55,170 last one 1373 01:05:03,289 --> 01:04:58,230 any model point of view world view is an 1374 01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:03,299 interpretation Wow 1375 01:05:09,290 --> 01:05:14,370 strong very strong 1376 01:05:22,650 --> 01:05:18,000 all right I'd like to thank you for that 1377 01:05:24,750 --> 01:05:22,660 for that part of the session and I would 1378 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:24,760 just want to dedicate the last couple of 1379 01:05:30,210 --> 01:05:27,130 minutes to really draw conclusions on 1380 01:05:31,770 --> 01:05:30,220 what the SS II role would actually be in 1381 01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:31,780 that context of what we have just 1382 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:36,610 discussed and what I have done is or 1383 01:05:41,430 --> 01:05:38,650 what we have done collectively basically 1384 01:05:46,020 --> 01:05:41,440 we have put together a couple of 1385 01:05:48,180 --> 01:05:46,030 questions around the the the mission 1386 01:05:51,110 --> 01:05:48,190 statement of the SSE if you like right 1387 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:51,120 so the first one which we would want to 1388 01:05:56,940 --> 01:05:53,650 activate as a poll which which says 1389 01:05:59,190 --> 01:05:56,950 should the SS II contribute to define 1390 01:06:02,490 --> 01:05:59,200 the ring fence for scientifically 1391 01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:02,500 plausible models of reality should the 1392 01:06:06,990 --> 01:06:04,930 SSE contribute to define the ring fence 1393 01:06:12,090 --> 01:06:07,000 for scientifically plausible models of 1394 01:06:15,060 --> 01:06:12,100 reality we have got a we've got an 88% 1395 01:06:18,860 --> 01:06:15,070 agreement to that 91% agreement at that 1396 01:06:22,230 --> 01:06:18,870 very moment now we are down to 88 1397 01:06:24,420 --> 01:06:22,240 all right so a big majority says that 1398 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:24,430 that the SSE should contribute to 1399 01:06:28,740 --> 01:06:26,010 developing that ring fence 1400 01:06:31,740 --> 01:06:28,750 can I just again this is just on a 1401 01:06:33,930 --> 01:06:31,750 voluntary basis but would those people 1402 01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:33,940 who have disagreed to that would you 1403 01:06:38,610 --> 01:06:36,010 probably give a reason why you disagreed 1404 01:06:40,050 --> 01:06:38,620 if there is anyone wanting to share this 1405 01:06:50,609 --> 01:06:40,060 okay we have an ELISA here could you 1406 01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:53,849 being on the wrong end of scientific 1407 01:06:59,779 --> 01:06:56,410 gatekeeping for some time I'm 1408 01:07:04,859 --> 01:06:59,789 disinclined to impose that on others 1409 01:07:08,039 --> 01:07:04,869 okay okay good thank you 1410 01:07:09,690 --> 01:07:08,049 wait we've got another one yep I didn't 1411 01:07:10,380 --> 01:07:09,700 vote I haven't a clue what you mean by 1412 01:07:15,569 --> 01:07:10,390 ring-fence 1413 01:07:17,759 --> 01:07:15,579 all right okay yeah 1414 01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:17,769 ring ring fence in terms of defining the 1415 01:07:23,279 --> 01:07:20,650 area in which the more I take your point 1416 01:07:26,309 --> 01:07:23,289 I take your point so that's good the the 1417 01:07:27,749 --> 01:07:26,319 next one is also referring to the ring 1418 01:07:30,959 --> 01:07:27,759 fencing so you might not vote there 1419 01:07:32,700 --> 01:07:30,969 either but it basically says it's not 1420 01:07:35,819 --> 01:07:32,710 just help to define it but the should 1421 01:07:39,059 --> 01:07:35,829 the SS e be a custodian of the ring 1422 01:07:45,839 --> 01:07:39,069 fence for all scientific be plausible 1423 01:07:47,849 --> 01:07:45,849 models of reality no no so there is no 1424 01:07:49,529 --> 01:07:47,859 ambition in the room that the sse should 1425 01:07:53,789 --> 01:07:49,539 be the custodian you will want to 1426 01:07:55,170 --> 01:07:53,799 contribute to it a few years okay but 1427 01:07:56,789 --> 01:07:55,180 there is you see there is a difference 1428 01:07:59,969 --> 01:07:56,799 there is a there is a will within this 1429 01:08:06,180 --> 01:07:59,979 room to contribute but it's not to be 1430 01:08:14,579 --> 01:08:06,190 regarded as the custodian yeah sorry say 1431 01:08:17,039 --> 01:08:14,589 there's all oh the old okay I got you so 1432 01:08:20,370 --> 01:08:17,049 whether they all for all yeah is it is 1433 01:08:22,919 --> 01:08:20,380 it the point is it the all for my point 1434 01:08:26,970 --> 01:08:22,929 of view it which is a lay point of view 1435 01:08:34,010 --> 01:08:26,980 not being a scientist but I think that 1436 01:08:37,470 --> 01:08:34,020 reality is very movable it's very 1437 01:08:42,660 --> 01:08:37,480 amorphous and I don't know if there is 1438 01:08:46,620 --> 01:08:42,670 any plausible model of reality at all I 1439 01:08:49,109 --> 01:08:46,630 mean it's very confusing to me I think 1440 01:08:52,620 --> 01:08:49,119 reality is incredibly subjective and 1441 01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:52,630 sometimes several people might sort of 1442 01:08:58,430 --> 01:08:55,330 agree on a reality and then it might 1443 01:09:01,260 --> 01:08:58,440 become the prevailing model but that 1444 01:09:03,269 --> 01:09:01,270 doesn't mean much in the long run I'm 1445 01:09:04,170 --> 01:09:03,279 sorry no it's it's fine it's fine 1446 01:09:09,270 --> 01:09:04,180 we've got another 1447 01:09:11,550 --> 01:09:09,280 one year it's a little bit aside but I 1448 01:09:13,830 --> 01:09:11,560 want to follow up on that but in that 1449 01:09:15,990 --> 01:09:13,840 last comment which started with I'm not 1450 01:09:18,300 --> 01:09:16,000 a scientist and then proceeded to 1451 01:09:22,620 --> 01:09:18,310 describe something that was remarkably 1452 01:09:24,060 --> 01:09:22,630 scientifically minded so you know there 1453 01:09:26,190 --> 01:09:24,070 is there's an interesting question that 1454 01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:26,200 comes up whether or not a scientist is 1455 01:09:29,490 --> 01:09:27,730 somebody with a degree in a scientific 1456 01:09:33,090 --> 01:09:29,500 discipline whether somebody is a 1457 01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:33,100 scientist by nature and one thing that 1458 01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:34,570 we ought to think about in this in this 1459 01:09:41,220 --> 01:09:37,330 society and by society I'd literally 1460 01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:41,230 mean SSE Society is where we're gonna 1461 01:09:46,950 --> 01:09:43,690 define that role who we consider to be 1462 01:09:49,050 --> 01:09:46,960 scientists I obviously in bringing up 1463 01:09:50,820 --> 01:09:49,060 the point would argue that anybody who's 1464 01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:50,830 scientifically minded who thinks that 1465 01:09:56,730 --> 01:09:53,050 way and I would also probably argue that 1466 01:09:58,470 --> 01:09:56,740 it's a lot of people probably should be 1467 01:10:02,030 --> 01:09:58,480 considered that way regardless of what 1468 01:10:11,490 --> 01:10:02,040 their their specific credentials are 1469 01:10:14,130 --> 01:10:11,500 thank you yeah so raises I think a very 1470 01:10:16,020 --> 01:10:14,140 profound point all right that I says he 1471 01:10:19,050 --> 01:10:16,030 should consider and I think there is a 1472 01:10:22,530 --> 01:10:19,060 broad misunderstanding of the difference 1473 01:10:23,220 --> 01:10:22,540 between science and the scientific 1474 01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:23,230 method 1475 01:10:28,380 --> 01:10:25,210 there's a lot of people who think that 1476 01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:28,390 science is a body of knowledge that is 1477 01:10:38,490 --> 01:10:34,570 you know carved in stone rather than a 1478 01:10:40,830 --> 01:10:38,500 process of acquiring knowledge and in 1479 01:10:43,470 --> 01:10:40,840 the former case there are people who 1480 01:10:46,470 --> 01:10:43,480 claim they have credentials I am a 1481 01:10:49,140 --> 01:10:46,480 scientist I have a specialization the 1482 01:10:52,410 --> 01:10:49,150 training on the other hand it's I am 1483 01:10:57,750 --> 01:10:52,420 somebody who you were talking about the 1484 01:11:00,450 --> 01:10:57,760 learners and the no and it is the and I 1485 01:11:03,660 --> 01:11:00,460 think that distinction separates science 1486 01:11:06,210 --> 01:11:03,670 from scientism yes or science is an 1487 01:11:08,970 --> 01:11:06,220 intellectual pursuit versus science as a 1488 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:08,980 body of knowledge that kind of gets 1489 01:11:12,300 --> 01:11:10,810 rammed down everybody's throat I see 1490 01:11:14,340 --> 01:11:12,310 what you mean yeah it makes sense yeah 1491 01:11:16,030 --> 01:11:14,350 thank you for the comment you just hold 1492 01:11:17,950 --> 01:11:16,040 it or do you want to say something okay 1493 01:11:21,390 --> 01:11:17,960 I'm just in the middle all right yeah 1494 01:11:28,410 --> 01:11:21,400 sorry I mean someone needed to be there 1495 01:11:32,710 --> 01:11:30,670 could you just hold the mic a bit closer 1496 01:11:34,180 --> 01:11:32,720 to you just in the real world things get 1497 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:34,190 a little bit trickier than this I mean I 1498 01:11:41,380 --> 01:11:36,530 was I spent 10 years as the editor of 1499 01:11:43,330 --> 01:11:41,390 JSC and it's one thing to give a venue 1500 01:11:46,300 --> 01:11:43,340 for discussion of ideas that that would 1501 01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:46,310 challenge the current paradigms or as 1502 01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:48,290 we've been discussing on the other hand 1503 01:11:53,500 --> 01:11:50,210 we got some real and we've got some real 1504 01:11:55,390 --> 01:11:53,510 junk that came in that is this purely 1505 01:11:59,020 --> 01:11:55,400 nonsense stuff I mean there's no way to 1506 01:12:00,850 --> 01:11:59,030 justify it and in fact perhaps so New 1507 01:12:04,270 --> 01:12:00,860 York Dobyns remembers one example of 1508 01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:04,280 this meeting where the the paper of the 1509 01:12:08,220 --> 01:12:05,690 pay's prolific paper was given by 1510 01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:08,230 someone who was spinning the top around 1511 01:12:12,310 --> 01:12:10,850 spinning a top around around and let's 1512 01:12:14,260 --> 01:12:12,320 demonstrate how that would just fly off 1513 01:12:15,940 --> 01:12:14,270 radially but it was in fact if you've 1514 01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:15,950 got something spinning around and you 1515 01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:17,290 cut the string and go off tangentially 1516 01:12:21,670 --> 01:12:19,730 everybody knows that it's something you 1517 01:12:23,410 --> 01:12:21,680 got up the stage and you proved proof 1518 01:12:25,780 --> 01:12:23,420 with your hand yo-yo or whatever you had 1519 01:12:28,180 --> 01:12:25,790 in your hands you know my point is that 1520 01:12:30,100 --> 01:12:28,190 it's one thing to consider ideas that 1521 01:12:33,490 --> 01:12:30,110 come from someone that at least knows 1522 01:12:35,590 --> 01:12:33,500 what they're talking about but I have a 1523 01:12:37,510 --> 01:12:35,600 new idea being put forward by someone 1524 01:12:38,980 --> 01:12:37,520 who doesn't know the existing physics 1525 01:12:40,810 --> 01:12:38,990 you know can be a total waste of time 1526 01:12:42,130 --> 01:12:40,820 because you have to know what is it 1527 01:12:43,300 --> 01:12:42,140 you're rejecting be confident in that 1528 01:12:44,980 --> 01:12:43,310 before you expect other people to 1529 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:44,990 believe something that that this was 1530 01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:47,930 totally nonsense probably yeah can't 1531 01:12:58,450 --> 01:12:55,250 remember that though yeah yeah yeah so 1532 01:13:02,200 --> 01:12:58,460 we have another one over here well as a 1533 01:13:05,710 --> 01:13:02,210 start as a start to the communication 1534 01:13:08,050 --> 01:13:05,720 that we've been speaking of there's been 1535 01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:08,060 like five individuals here during the 1536 01:13:14,050 --> 01:13:10,970 course of today who have referenced 1537 01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:14,060 their own work their own web pages their 1538 01:13:17,710 --> 01:13:16,850 own collaborations how do we get in 1539 01:13:19,810 --> 01:13:17,720 touch with them 1540 01:13:24,130 --> 01:13:19,820 I mean is there going to be a list 1541 01:13:25,989 --> 01:13:24,140 posted I mean how do we communicate just 1542 01:13:27,489 --> 01:13:25,999 within our own group here 1543 01:13:28,569 --> 01:13:27,499 yeah it's an interesting it's an 1544 01:13:29,739 --> 01:13:28,579 interesting question I don't know 1545 01:13:31,629 --> 01:13:29,749 whether there are structures I mean I'm 1546 01:13:33,339 --> 01:13:31,639 totally new to the organization I don't 1547 01:13:35,049 --> 01:13:33,349 know whether you have kept the means 1548 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:35,059 established already but probably we 1549 01:13:40,779 --> 01:13:38,210 should in the future so there is a there 1550 01:13:44,979 --> 01:13:40,789 is a last there is a last yes-or-no 1551 01:13:48,100 --> 01:13:44,989 question here and then so should the SS 1552 01:13:52,239 --> 01:13:48,110 II officially endorse certain models of 1553 01:13:56,290 --> 01:13:52,249 reality should the SSE officially 1554 01:13:57,729 --> 01:13:56,300 endorse certain models of reality so we 1555 01:14:04,589 --> 01:13:57,739 have got it so far 1556 01:14:13,839 --> 01:14:10,140 the last three votes for today are 1557 01:14:17,979 --> 01:14:13,849 around the mission statement of the SSE 1558 01:14:19,839 --> 01:14:17,989 and I have I've discussed this with the 1559 01:14:22,089 --> 01:14:19,849 with the program committee and the and 1560 01:14:25,209 --> 01:14:22,099 and was bill in particular around what 1561 01:14:28,209 --> 01:14:25,219 the mission statement actually is and 1562 01:14:30,489 --> 01:14:28,219 that what that is the baseline that is 1563 01:14:33,370 --> 01:14:30,499 what is currently assumed to be the 1564 01:14:35,739 --> 01:14:33,380 mission statement it says the Society 1565 01:14:38,739 --> 01:14:35,749 for scientific exploration SSE provides 1566 01:14:40,709 --> 01:14:38,749 a critical forum for sharing original 1567 01:14:44,589 --> 01:14:40,719 research into anomalies and 1568 01:14:46,450 --> 01:14:44,599 unconventional topics so in how far do 1569 01:14:52,270 --> 01:14:46,460 you basically buy into this and how far 1570 01:14:56,020 --> 01:14:52,280 do you agree to that okay so we've got a 1571 01:14:58,870 --> 01:14:56,030 pretty strong a pretty strong support of 1572 01:15:02,140 --> 01:14:58,880 that it seems that's good 1573 01:15:04,930 --> 01:15:02,150 so now take that statement and now we 1574 01:15:07,029 --> 01:15:04,940 have added something so that remains the 1575 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:07,039 same so we are not suggesting that we 1576 01:15:12,219 --> 01:15:09,050 take anything away from what you have 1577 01:15:16,509 --> 01:15:12,229 done before but we are now adding to 1578 01:15:20,229 --> 01:15:16,519 that and what we add basically is we add 1579 01:15:22,989 --> 01:15:20,239 the part that we draw relevant 1580 01:15:25,719 --> 01:15:22,999 conclusions from converging evidence so 1581 01:15:28,719 --> 01:15:25,729 we are not just discussing or providing 1582 01:15:30,549 --> 01:15:28,729 a critical forum but we are now we could 1583 01:15:31,469 --> 01:15:30,559 also draw relevant conclusions from 1584 01:15:35,069 --> 01:15:31,479 converging evidence 1585 01:15:39,090 --> 01:15:35,079 what is the one single word for that 1586 01:15:40,290 --> 01:15:39,100 consilience right but as consilience 1587 01:15:45,750 --> 01:15:40,300 is not really something that people 1588 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:45,760 understand so okay this is interesting 1589 01:15:52,170 --> 01:15:48,130 so there seems to be there seems to be a 1590 01:15:54,590 --> 01:15:52,180 positive attitude to to also go for this 1591 01:15:58,020 --> 01:15:54,600 consilience aspect in the future right 1592 01:16:01,470 --> 01:15:58,030 all right so let me let me know even 1593 01:16:05,070 --> 01:16:01,480 stretch you a bit further so all of what 1594 01:16:07,260 --> 01:16:05,080 is given there remains there right so it 1595 01:16:08,610 --> 01:16:07,270 is about a critical forum for sharing 1596 01:16:10,620 --> 01:16:08,620 information as well as driving 1597 01:16:13,350 --> 01:16:10,630 consolidate consilience so that stays 1598 01:16:18,030 --> 01:16:13,360 there and we are just adding a last 1599 01:16:20,580 --> 01:16:18,040 thing to that which basically says so 1600 01:16:24,090 --> 01:16:20,590 all of what we've got and communicate 1601 01:16:25,830 --> 01:16:24,100 those those insights in common terms to 1602 01:16:28,140 --> 01:16:25,840 the general public so we are now adding 1603 01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:28,150 the communication part we had the 1604 01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:30,610 sharing we were drawing the conclusions 1605 01:16:41,180 --> 01:16:39,250 but now we actively communicate here we 1606 01:16:45,510 --> 01:16:41,190 are so we have again a relatively 1607 01:16:47,550 --> 01:16:45,520 positive notion here as well so I think 1608 01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:47,560 this is an interesting insight at least 1609 01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:49,690 from my point of view because it seems 1610 01:16:54,270 --> 01:16:52,330 that we that there is a broad majority 1611 01:16:57,090 --> 01:16:54,280 in the room who basically said that that 1612 01:16:59,430 --> 01:16:57,100 might be a better or a future statement 1613 01:17:01,500 --> 01:16:59,440 as a mission statement for the SSE and 1614 01:17:03,380 --> 01:17:01,510 we therefore recognize that we would 1615 01:17:06,210 --> 01:17:03,390 acknowledge the fact that we share 1616 01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:06,220 information around research data and we 1617 01:17:10,530 --> 01:17:07,810 would critically review this that is 1618 01:17:12,690 --> 01:17:10,540 fine but we add two things we add the 1619 01:17:15,900 --> 01:17:12,700 consilience we drive conclusions out of 1620 01:17:17,670 --> 01:17:15,910 that and then we would also publicly 1621 01:17:21,170 --> 01:17:17,680 communicate these conclusions in the 1622 01:17:28,310 --> 01:17:21,180 language which is actually appropriate 1623 01:17:33,740 --> 01:17:31,080 when we did the question about common 1624 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:33,750 language I actually voted against that 1625 01:17:40,380 --> 01:17:37,210 but I can align with this because of the 1626 01:17:42,420 --> 01:17:40,390 term general public within this forum 1627 01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:42,430 within this group I think it is totally 1628 01:17:46,440 --> 01:17:44,050 appropriate for us to speak in the 1629 01:17:50,010 --> 01:17:46,450 jargon that they're used to in fact I 1630 01:17:52,380 --> 01:17:50,020 think we should however the general 1631 01:17:54,810 --> 01:17:52,390 public doesn't know those terms and it 1632 01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:54,820 I'm not saying we water it down but it 1633 01:17:58,500 --> 01:17:56,410 needs to be in terms that a 1634 01:18:00,990 --> 01:17:58,510 non-scientific person a business person 1635 01:18:02,610 --> 01:18:01,000 or a media person can understand so they 1636 01:18:05,220 --> 01:18:02,620 don't misquote us and then it becomes 1637 01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:05,230 woman yes I think this is a very very 1638 01:18:10,530 --> 01:18:07,690 good remark yeah absolutely I mean they 1639 01:18:12,330 --> 01:18:10,540 just as a side note I'm you know that 1640 01:18:14,550 --> 01:18:12,340 I'm not a native speaker in English but 1641 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:14,560 we had a distinction between when I was 1642 01:18:19,310 --> 01:18:15,970 working in the UK between British 1643 01:18:21,660 --> 01:18:19,320 English and international English right 1644 01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:21,670 sorry 1645 01:18:35,090 --> 01:18:33,130 there is it's coming so again just for 1646 01:18:38,190 --> 01:18:35,100 clarity of language here so the original 1647 01:18:40,770 --> 01:18:38,200 statement is a forum for the sharing of 1648 01:18:43,500 --> 01:18:40,780 the research sharing being the relevant 1649 01:18:45,030 --> 01:18:43,510 component here then the next piece is 1650 01:18:46,620 --> 01:18:45,040 drawing relevant conclusions now it's 1651 01:18:49,410 --> 01:18:46,630 not clear who's the actor in this part 1652 01:18:50,610 --> 01:18:49,420 are the are the members drawing relevant 1653 01:18:52,650 --> 01:18:50,620 conclusions and presenting their 1654 01:18:55,710 --> 01:18:52,660 conclusions as they present their 1655 01:18:57,840 --> 01:18:55,720 research findings or is the society 1656 01:19:00,210 --> 01:18:57,850 itself drawing relevant conclusions and 1657 01:19:03,330 --> 01:19:00,220 communicating those yeah and so and 1658 01:19:04,950 --> 01:19:03,340 again there's this I think it needs to 1659 01:19:07,530 --> 01:19:04,960 be you know really clear because 1660 01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:07,540 language is important so yeah no I think 1661 01:19:10,530 --> 01:19:09,370 I think this raises an a very important 1662 01:19:13,860 --> 01:19:10,540 point and I think I would want to give 1663 01:19:15,990 --> 01:19:13,870 this to you Tanya I mean we we talk 1664 01:19:17,730 --> 01:19:16,000 about silos and integration I mean what 1665 01:19:20,730 --> 01:19:17,740 is what is your point of view mark says 1666 01:19:22,230 --> 01:19:20,740 it's it's obviously that is a that is 1667 01:19:24,390 --> 01:19:22,240 almost like a separate function there is 1668 01:19:26,010 --> 01:19:24,400 an additional need to pull the 1669 01:19:27,930 --> 01:19:26,020 information together and to then 1670 01:19:30,180 --> 01:19:27,940 formulate it in a way that it is 1671 01:19:33,570 --> 01:19:30,190 appropriate right so how would you react 1672 01:19:34,950 --> 01:19:33,580 to that statement I think actually from 1673 01:19:37,500 --> 01:19:34,960 a business perspective it's irrelevant 1674 01:19:39,020 --> 01:19:37,510 as long as it's communicated in a way 1675 01:19:40,790 --> 01:19:39,030 that the public will understand 1676 01:19:45,140 --> 01:19:40,800 and that's probably not the answer that 1677 01:19:46,730 --> 01:19:45,150 you would want to hear and that's 1678 01:19:48,440 --> 01:19:46,740 totally fair 1679 01:19:49,730 --> 01:19:48,450 so we're look we're looking at it from a 1680 01:19:52,190 --> 01:19:49,740 different perspective but if the 1681 01:19:53,690 --> 01:19:52,200 intention is to bring a piece of 1682 01:19:56,480 --> 01:19:53,700 information to the public so that the 1683 01:19:58,580 --> 01:19:56,490 public can have access to it and for the 1684 01:20:00,410 --> 01:19:58,590 betterment of the public then the 1685 01:20:03,140 --> 01:20:00,420 communicator is less important than 1686 01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:03,150 what's being communicated yeah so we've 1687 01:20:08,510 --> 01:20:04,650 got we've got Karl here what do you have 1688 01:20:10,670 --> 01:20:08,520 yeah and as was pointed out earlier when 1689 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:10,680 we can when we communicate to the 1690 01:20:14,830 --> 01:20:12,810 general public it's in language that can 1691 01:20:17,450 --> 01:20:14,840 understand but that's not our only 1692 01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:17,460 publication which is common for 1693 01:20:23,330 --> 01:20:21,240 disciplines to have a more general organ 1694 01:20:25,310 --> 01:20:23,340 as well as the main journal yeah and I 1695 01:20:27,470 --> 01:20:25,320 think we probably understand that yeah 1696 01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:27,480 York just give give confers to the word 1697 01:20:33,890 --> 01:20:31,410 yet Kirstin so my question is within 1698 01:20:37,790 --> 01:20:33,900 three were the three issues being there 1699 01:20:41,030 --> 01:20:37,800 the first is clearly the SSE is SS he is 1700 01:20:45,260 --> 01:20:41,040 that forum and presumably we come here 1701 01:20:48,620 --> 01:20:45,270 to learn about those ideas and draw 1702 01:20:50,390 --> 01:20:48,630 conclusions for ourselves so it seems to 1703 01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:50,400 me the SSE has always had a policy of 1704 01:20:57,020 --> 01:20:54,810 not subscribing to anything mm-hmm so we 1705 01:20:59,750 --> 01:20:57,030 come here for that and obviously people 1706 01:21:02,900 --> 01:20:59,760 want to communicate their stories and 1707 01:21:06,710 --> 01:21:02,910 the forum provides that and anyone who 1708 01:21:09,050 --> 01:21:06,720 is interested is welcome to come and so 1709 01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:09,060 I think those are all there but it's 1710 01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:11,370 just whether or not the society wants to 1711 01:21:17,990 --> 01:21:14,930 take a formal position and I think that 1712 01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:18,000 ever since its founding has been the 1713 01:21:23,900 --> 01:21:20,730 thing the society has chosen not to do 1714 01:21:27,110 --> 01:21:23,910 because to make sure the forum is free 1715 01:21:29,930 --> 01:21:27,120 and open yeah yeah sorry York you were 1716 01:21:35,319 --> 01:21:29,940 have you got the mic no could you just 1717 01:21:44,390 --> 01:21:39,919 okay a couple of comments first about 1718 01:21:48,620 --> 01:21:44,400 drawing relevant conclusions the the 1719 01:21:51,530 --> 01:21:48,630 ssee does not have a mind it does not 1720 01:21:54,140 --> 01:21:51,540 have an identity it is not a person it 1721 01:21:57,140 --> 01:21:54,150 is an organization anybody drawing 1722 01:22:00,490 --> 01:21:57,150 relevant conclusions within the society 1723 01:22:05,089 --> 01:22:00,500 is presumably a member of the society 1724 01:22:07,700 --> 01:22:05,099 our our individual researchers I think 1725 01:22:09,950 --> 01:22:07,710 pretty much always draw relevant 1726 01:22:12,020 --> 01:22:09,960 conclusions from their own research and 1727 01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:12,030 usually publish them as part of these 1728 01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:13,290 same articles in which they're 1729 01:22:23,470 --> 01:22:18,090 describing the research but there is I 1730 01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:23,480 think rarely consensus about the 1731 01:22:29,540 --> 01:22:25,770 conclusions maybe there is sometimes 1732 01:22:34,459 --> 01:22:29,550 maybe it would be good to institute some 1733 01:22:37,939 --> 01:22:34,469 sort of regular Society wide review of 1734 01:22:41,149 --> 01:22:37,949 well hey hey here's here's the recent 1735 01:22:43,839 --> 01:22:41,159 research in topic thus and so and what 1736 01:22:46,729 --> 01:22:43,849 the researchers have said about it what 1737 01:22:52,250 --> 01:22:46,739 what what's the sense of the society 1738 01:22:54,290 --> 01:22:52,260 about these ideas but the other thing is 1739 01:22:56,959 --> 01:22:54,300 and it relates to the fact that there 1740 01:22:58,609 --> 01:22:56,969 will probably be a lot of issues at any 1741 01:23:02,689 --> 01:22:58,619 given time on which we do not have 1742 01:23:05,149 --> 01:23:02,699 consensus and that's communicating in 1743 01:23:11,330 --> 01:23:05,159 general in common terms to the general 1744 01:23:14,930 --> 01:23:11,340 public there's a large part of the 1745 01:23:20,799 --> 01:23:14,940 general public that does not like and 1746 01:23:22,910 --> 01:23:20,809 does not want the kind of reasoning and 1747 01:23:26,390 --> 01:23:22,920 information that is dealt with in the 1748 01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:26,400 sciences some years ago a member of the 1749 01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:30,449 US Congress expressed a demand that the 1750 01:23:34,430 --> 01:23:32,250 government finds some one-armed 1751 01:23:39,189 --> 01:23:34,440 scientists as he put it who are 1752 01:23:47,609 --> 01:23:44,740 but science is about ambiguity and 1753 01:23:50,819 --> 01:23:47,619 conditional provisional temporary 1754 01:23:52,409 --> 01:23:50,829 very understandings and there are a lot 1755 01:23:54,449 --> 01:23:52,419 of people in the general public who 1756 01:23:56,449 --> 01:23:54,459 absolutely hate that and can't deal with 1757 01:23:59,759 --> 01:23:56,459 it at all no matter how its expressed 1758 01:24:01,560 --> 01:23:59,769 yeah and I think I think we have a we 1759 01:24:06,810 --> 01:24:01,570 have a challenge here and I told I'm 1760 01:24:09,419 --> 01:24:06,820 totally with you but this this is the 1761 01:24:11,369 --> 01:24:09,429 point it doesn't it doesn't really you 1762 01:24:12,839 --> 01:24:11,379 see we we are then if that if if we 1763 01:24:16,259 --> 01:24:12,849 can't fix that problem 1764 01:24:18,989 --> 01:24:16,269 if we can't actually somehow get a grip 1765 01:24:22,350 --> 01:24:18,999 on that particular problem that we need 1766 01:24:23,850 --> 01:24:22,360 to drive consensus somehow and it's not 1767 01:24:25,379 --> 01:24:23,860 in the level of detail that you are 1768 01:24:27,359 --> 01:24:25,389 dealing with on a daily basis it's a 1769 01:24:29,369 --> 01:24:27,369 level of detail that Tanya and I 1770 01:24:31,429 --> 01:24:29,379 basically need to know it right this is 1771 01:24:33,629 --> 01:24:31,439 a this is probably a different kind of 1772 01:24:35,339 --> 01:24:33,639 aggregation of information it's not 1773 01:24:37,139 --> 01:24:35,349 really down in the trenches where you 1774 01:24:39,270 --> 01:24:37,149 need to actually really find out whether 1775 01:24:41,580 --> 01:24:39,280 this is the better method all that but 1776 01:24:44,219 --> 01:24:41,590 it's on a higher level so I think we 1777 01:24:46,859 --> 01:24:44,229 have a challenge here because we want we 1778 01:24:48,540 --> 01:24:46,869 want the SSE to do this but then it on 1779 01:24:51,149 --> 01:24:48,550 the other hand we say we actually can't 1780 01:24:52,739 --> 01:24:51,159 do it and we have got a market there 1781 01:24:54,089 --> 01:24:52,749 we've got a Tonya in the constant there 1782 01:24:57,689 --> 01:24:54,099 who basically say would be really good 1783 01:24:59,459 --> 01:24:57,699 if we could get that right so all I'm 1784 01:25:02,129 --> 01:24:59,469 saying is I think we have a we have an 1785 01:25:04,109 --> 01:25:02,139 issue here where we say we want to do 1786 01:25:07,739 --> 01:25:04,119 something but on the other hand we feel 1787 01:25:09,929 --> 01:25:07,749 incapable of doing something sorry I'd 1788 01:25:11,580 --> 01:25:09,939 like to I appreciate the fact that you 1789 01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:11,590 are two now agrees with what I said this 1790 01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:13,570 morning could you just speak up a bit 1791 01:25:20,729 --> 01:25:17,010 more sorry months just a bit louder it's 1792 01:25:22,679 --> 01:25:20,739 alright yeah sorry there you go second 1793 01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:22,689 you're the business person who's going 1794 01:25:28,709 --> 01:25:26,050 to pay for that the third we already 1795 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:28,719 have a venue for communicating with the 1796 01:25:32,100 --> 01:25:30,610 public which is edge science and Patrick 1797 01:25:35,100 --> 01:25:32,110 can certainly say a lot more about that 1798 01:25:36,540 --> 01:25:35,110 than I can but from what I understand we 1799 01:25:40,020 --> 01:25:36,550 simply have problems of getting people 1800 01:25:43,679 --> 01:25:40,030 writing anything for them so there seems 1801 01:25:45,629 --> 01:25:43,689 to be insufficient energy or you know 1802 01:25:47,399 --> 01:25:45,639 ability or whatever especially since 1803 01:25:48,839 --> 01:25:47,409 nobody's getting paid to do it to 1804 01:25:52,649 --> 01:25:48,849 actually communicate with the public 1805 01:25:55,679 --> 01:25:52,659 and the final point like you're kind of 1806 01:25:58,560 --> 01:25:55,689 making it sound as though you can get 1807 01:25:59,740 --> 01:25:58,570 academics and scientists to do something 1808 01:26:03,160 --> 01:25:59,750 like in a group 1809 01:26:06,730 --> 01:26:03,170 mass or agree to something like have you 1810 01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:06,740 ever tried like herding cats like that 1811 01:26:11,230 --> 01:26:08,570 that's the usual expression for trying 1812 01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:11,240 to understand like as you know a senior 1813 01:26:15,970 --> 01:26:13,250 university administrator will say like 1814 01:26:18,130 --> 01:26:15,980 yeah it's like herding cats well yeah 1815 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:18,140 you know how well you can herd cats not 1816 01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:21,530 very well so I mean that's what we're up 1817 01:26:24,220 --> 01:26:22,010 against 1818 01:26:27,430 --> 01:26:24,230 believe me we have got cats in business 1819 01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:27,440 as well so but but I take I take your 1820 01:26:36,180 --> 01:26:31,810 point we have cats right we have got I 1821 01:26:38,590 --> 01:26:36,190 think science as a general rule 1822 01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:38,600 scientists have a great deal of 1823 01:26:43,930 --> 01:26:41,330 difficulty with is saying I don't know 1824 01:26:48,010 --> 01:26:43,940 hmm and I think that's one of the 1825 01:26:52,270 --> 01:26:48,020 reasons why the public has a certain 1826 01:26:55,750 --> 01:26:52,280 disregard for them but what would be so 1827 01:26:58,690 --> 01:26:55,760 wrong with this society coming out and 1828 01:27:00,750 --> 01:26:58,700 honestly saying we don't know but here 1829 01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:00,760 are a couple of different perspectives 1830 01:27:07,990 --> 01:27:05,210 what if we could present not a consensus 1831 01:27:12,850 --> 01:27:08,000 mm-hmm but to present the different 1832 01:27:16,060 --> 01:27:12,860 points of an argument in maybe an edge 1833 01:27:19,030 --> 01:27:16,070 science maybe in JSE to the public and 1834 01:27:22,420 --> 01:27:19,040 this way we would also get it beyond the 1835 01:27:24,310 --> 01:27:22,430 the language barrier mm-hmm and just 1836 01:27:26,440 --> 01:27:24,320 come out and say listen this is a topic 1837 01:27:28,540 --> 01:27:26,450 that's under discussion it is a 1838 01:27:30,700 --> 01:27:28,550 controversial one we don't know the 1839 01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:30,710 answer but we think it's something 1840 01:27:35,740 --> 01:27:33,290 that's worth exploring mm-hmm and I 1841 01:27:38,890 --> 01:27:35,750 think that that indication of some 1842 01:27:42,550 --> 01:27:38,900 humility might actually be to our 1843 01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:42,560 advantage in the public regard yeah no 1844 01:27:47,890 --> 01:27:45,290 this is and I think that that requires 1845 01:27:49,480 --> 01:27:47,900 some little bit of Education of the 1846 01:27:51,010 --> 01:27:49,490 public because a lot of times I get 1847 01:27:54,910 --> 01:27:51,020 asked the question well what do you 1848 01:27:56,500 --> 01:27:54,920 believe well that's not my job here's 1849 01:27:59,260 --> 01:27:56,510 what I have found here is the data here 1850 01:28:00,790 --> 01:27:59,270 the conclusions we don't do that so I 1851 01:28:03,940 --> 01:28:00,800 think that would require a little bit of 1852 01:28:05,170 --> 01:28:03,950 Education to go what we don't do is say 1853 01:28:12,180 --> 01:28:05,180 this is what it is 1854 01:28:18,670 --> 01:28:15,310 all right oh we have a we have an 1855 01:28:20,980 --> 01:28:18,680 extreme boat over there sir I think it 1856 01:28:23,620 --> 01:28:20,990 might put out some very good points and 1857 01:28:26,260 --> 01:28:23,630 and defined some of the problems we face 1858 01:28:28,390 --> 01:28:26,270 very clearly yeah and for me they're 1859 01:28:31,450 --> 01:28:28,400 challenges these are things we have to 1860 01:28:33,700 --> 01:28:31,460 look to how can we get past them when we 1861 01:28:36,220 --> 01:28:33,710 start to communicate with people in a 1862 01:28:39,250 --> 01:28:36,230 more wide way and how do we get people 1863 01:28:40,780 --> 01:28:39,260 to cooperate together to do this now one 1864 01:28:42,580 --> 01:28:40,790 of the things that I think you were 1865 01:28:44,710 --> 01:28:42,590 speaking about this morning is trying to 1866 01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:44,720 have a common message mm-hmm and having 1867 01:28:48,610 --> 01:28:47,210 a single message and if we all just use 1868 01:28:51,550 --> 01:28:48,620 that message I've seen it work in 1869 01:28:53,550 --> 01:28:51,560 politics dramatically if we all just use 1870 01:28:56,290 --> 01:28:53,560 the same message and kept it very simple 1871 01:28:58,330 --> 01:28:56,300 it would start to penetrate into other 1872 01:29:00,280 --> 01:28:58,340 markets yes and we might be able to get 1873 01:29:02,260 --> 01:29:00,290 through them yeah I think from from a 1874 01:29:05,440 --> 01:29:02,270 receivers point of view that is that is 1875 01:29:07,480 --> 01:29:05,450 exactly what what Tanya and and others 1876 01:29:09,310 --> 01:29:07,490 would look for right it's not it's not 1877 01:29:11,470 --> 01:29:09,320 the the details it's just really some 1878 01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:11,480 core messages some some principle 1879 01:29:15,130 --> 01:29:13,250 statements it's not more and then there 1880 01:29:17,140 --> 01:29:15,140 is one one one last thing I would want 1881 01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:17,150 to pick up from a man's comment that is 1882 01:29:21,940 --> 01:29:19,730 like who pays for that and I would want 1883 01:29:24,730 --> 01:29:21,950 to give that question to to Tanya and 1884 01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:24,740 because she has got the money certainly 1885 01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:30,050 not me I think the opportunities for 1886 01:29:35,230 --> 01:29:33,170 funding from from corporations is 1887 01:29:36,100 --> 01:29:35,240 enormous the problem is that we don't 1888 01:29:38,350 --> 01:29:36,110 know who to talk to 1889 01:29:40,540 --> 01:29:38,360 we don't know who needs funding we don't 1890 01:29:43,450 --> 01:29:40,550 know you need funding for businesses are 1891 01:29:48,010 --> 01:29:43,460 really good at asking for things start 1892 01:29:49,540 --> 01:29:48,020 asking so everybody yeah so so so this 1893 01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:49,550 is this is an interesting thing because 1894 01:29:55,450 --> 01:29:51,650 as soon as we would define what we what 1895 01:29:57,250 --> 01:29:55,460 we want to work upon then probably there 1896 01:30:00,490 --> 01:29:57,260 is a support right probably there is a 1897 01:30:02,620 --> 01:30:00,500 support from a from a point of view of 1898 01:30:04,780 --> 01:30:02,630 integrating it as well I mean yeah it 1899 01:30:05,950 --> 01:30:04,790 might need money it might be funding but 1900 01:30:07,870 --> 01:30:05,960 we have not said that that is not 1901 01:30:09,460 --> 01:30:07,880 available I think there are companies 1902 01:30:10,870 --> 01:30:09,470 around and there are probably also rich 1903 01:30:13,780 --> 01:30:10,880 people around who just wanna sort of 1904 01:30:16,540 --> 01:30:13,790 help help the society by pulling things 1905 01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:16,550 together so annalisa I I've been holding 1906 01:30:21,730 --> 01:30:19,730 this mic for a while sorry I didn't so I 1907 01:30:22,949 --> 01:30:21,740 would like to suggest a softer 1908 01:30:25,979 --> 01:30:22,959 alternative 1909 01:30:29,239 --> 01:30:25,989 - drawing relevant conclusions and 1910 01:30:32,759 --> 01:30:29,249 imagine it instead as disseminating 1911 01:30:34,770 --> 01:30:32,769 responsible information and let me give 1912 01:30:37,469 --> 01:30:34,780 you an example for instance in the field 1913 01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:37,479 of parapsychology we have phenomena such 1914 01:30:41,669 --> 01:30:39,130 as near-death experiences and 1915 01:30:45,149 --> 01:30:41,679 out-of-body experiences now the jury is 1916 01:30:46,709 --> 01:30:45,159 still out on the mechanisms behind these 1917 01:30:49,290 --> 01:30:46,719 things whether they are as people 1918 01:30:52,290 --> 01:30:49,300 experience them and etc but there's also 1919 01:30:54,239 --> 01:30:52,300 a wide culture there's a wide array of 1920 01:30:56,250 --> 01:30:54,249 people who have these experiences and 1921 01:31:00,120 --> 01:30:56,260 often will turn to the PA for instance 1922 01:31:03,509 --> 01:31:00,130 with what's happening what's going on 1923 01:31:06,359 --> 01:31:03,519 yeah and you know to not say anything at 1924 01:31:08,910 --> 01:31:06,369 all is it disservice because even though 1925 01:31:10,410 --> 01:31:08,920 we haven't reached a relevant conclusion 1926 01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:10,420 there's still some really good 1927 01:31:14,250 --> 01:31:12,610 information yeah some information that 1928 01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:14,260 is better than information from other 1929 01:31:19,649 --> 01:31:17,650 resources for instance okay and then the 1930 01:31:21,330 --> 01:31:19,659 second thing I want to comment on this 1931 01:31:24,149 --> 01:31:21,340 idea of the general public I really 1932 01:31:26,850 --> 01:31:24,159 don't think there's such a thing it 1933 01:31:28,949 --> 01:31:26,860 belongs in the same mythical category 1934 01:31:33,689 --> 01:31:28,959 with the objective objectivity and 1935 01:31:41,270 --> 01:31:33,699 unicorns there are a lot of unicorns in 1936 01:31:47,810 --> 01:31:44,390 I think one thing that we need to make 1937 01:31:51,770 --> 01:31:47,820 sure that we you know include is not 1938 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:51,780 only do we kind of just communicate our 1939 01:31:57,610 --> 01:31:53,370 research and the things that we're doing 1940 01:32:01,040 --> 01:31:57,620 but kind of make it clear of what the 1941 01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:01,050 research could bring you know and I know 1942 01:32:05,030 --> 01:32:03,330 a lot of us are engineers here and a lot 1943 01:32:07,700 --> 01:32:05,040 of us have ideas on what are these what 1944 01:32:10,010 --> 01:32:07,710 these things could do and I think that 1945 01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:10,020 would bring the public's attention and 1946 01:32:14,050 --> 01:32:12,449 you know the needs of you know like what 1947 01:32:16,250 --> 01:32:14,060 we were talking about really education 1948 01:32:19,300 --> 01:32:16,260 healthcare and that would really like 1949 01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:19,310 spark their attention had hey like 1950 01:32:25,250 --> 01:32:22,170 here's what we found we still don't know 1951 01:32:27,410 --> 01:32:25,260 but if we did know then this is what 1952 01:32:29,540 --> 01:32:27,420 could happen interesting yeah so it's 1953 01:32:31,970 --> 01:32:29,550 not it's not to establish something as a 1954 01:32:35,540 --> 01:32:31,980 actual fact or whatever but to say okay 1955 01:32:37,669 --> 01:32:35,550 this is interesting news right and and 1956 01:32:40,100 --> 01:32:37,679 probably probably you should leave it up 1957 01:32:42,169 --> 01:32:40,110 to the to the businesses or to whoever 1958 01:32:44,540 --> 01:32:42,179 to decide I mean if you put things in 1959 01:32:46,250 --> 01:32:44,550 front of them the conclusion drawing in 1960 01:32:48,050 --> 01:32:46,260 terms of okay whether someone actually 1961 01:32:49,970 --> 01:32:48,060 believes it or not it's it's a 1962 01:32:51,290 --> 01:32:49,980 subjective thing like an ELISA says from 1963 01:32:54,110 --> 01:32:51,300 my point of view right it's it's all 1964 01:32:58,479 --> 01:32:54,120 subjective even engineers you know who 1965 01:33:04,250 --> 01:33:01,490 yeah I'd like to take a last a last 1966 01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:04,260 comment would you oh sorry I mean sorry 1967 01:33:08,570 --> 01:33:06,690 it's just in terms of time yeah so so 1968 01:33:10,010 --> 01:33:08,580 I've got 17 comments that are lined up 1969 01:33:11,870 --> 01:33:10,020 all right now pick the most of them 1970 01:33:14,419 --> 01:33:11,880 quick the most runs anyone well they're 1971 01:33:18,979 --> 01:33:14,429 all actually combined and there weren't 1972 01:33:20,510 --> 01:33:18,989 seventeen so I had the same reaction to 1973 01:33:23,090 --> 01:33:20,520 too many of the comments that came up 1974 01:33:24,919 --> 01:33:23,100 and I found myself staring more at the 1975 01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:24,929 description of this and particularly it 1976 01:33:29,990 --> 01:33:28,050 draws relevant conclusions but something 1977 01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:30,000 to think about is it doesn't say drawing 1978 01:33:36,350 --> 01:33:33,090 the one canonical relevant conclusion 1979 01:33:39,110 --> 01:33:36,360 and what helped me understand this was 1980 01:33:42,229 --> 01:33:39,120 to reread that sentence and say the 1981 01:33:45,979 --> 01:33:42,239 Society for scientific is Palermo that's 1982 01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:45,989 us right so another way of reading this 1983 01:33:51,500 --> 01:33:48,090 and it would be interesting to see how 1984 01:33:52,460 --> 01:33:51,510 the votes change is I will participate 1985 01:33:54,230 --> 01:33:52,470 in a critical 1986 01:33:57,320 --> 01:33:54,240 for sharing original research and so 1987 01:33:59,660 --> 01:33:57,330 forth I will draw relevant conclusions 1988 01:34:03,410 --> 01:33:59,670 based on converging evidence as seen and 1989 01:34:05,150 --> 01:34:03,420 I will communicate those in common terms 1990 01:34:07,310 --> 01:34:05,160 through the general public and all of a 1991 01:34:08,180 --> 01:34:07,320 sudden now we as a community are asking 1992 01:34:09,590 --> 01:34:08,190 ourselves are we gonna take 1993 01:34:11,660 --> 01:34:09,600 responsibility for doing these things 1994 01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:11,670 are we actually buying into this by 1995 01:34:17,450 --> 01:34:14,250 saying up part of the SSE I'm going to 1996 01:34:19,550 --> 01:34:17,460 be that that impetus for change right 1997 01:34:22,190 --> 01:34:19,560 and it'd be interesting to see how many 1998 01:34:23,780 --> 01:34:22,200 people are actually III thought it was 1999 01:34:25,820 --> 01:34:23,790 the yes to see that was gonna you that 2000 01:34:27,110 --> 01:34:25,830 you guys you somebody else is going to 2001 01:34:30,650 --> 01:34:27,120 do that right I'm just gonna come to the 2002 01:34:31,970 --> 01:34:30,660 meeting no because we are that community 2003 01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:31,980 and it really will change the way that 2004 01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:33,570 we look at this and put these other 2005 01:34:38,150 --> 01:34:35,850 comments in perspective and then I'm 2006 01:34:40,490 --> 01:34:38,160 gonna sneak in one more which is just a 2007 01:34:44,210 --> 01:34:40,500 question back to something that sunny 2008 01:34:46,910 --> 01:34:44,220 areas which is wood industry with the 2009 01:34:49,610 --> 01:34:46,920 commercial sector if it turned out that 2010 01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:49,620 all this stuff really pointed to the 2011 01:34:54,650 --> 01:34:51,890 idea that the betterment of society 2012 01:35:01,310 --> 01:34:54,660 comes down to spending a lot less money 2013 01:35:02,900 --> 01:35:01,320 on crap what money still be there would 2014 01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:02,910 money still be there or what the crap 2015 01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:08,970 still be there research if there wasn't 2016 01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:10,890 a profit motive or in fact if it was 2017 01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:13,890 reversed if in fact it turned out that 2018 01:35:20,210 --> 01:35:18,330 there was an anti profit motive because 2019 01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:20,220 that's a distinct possibility out of all 2020 01:35:24,890 --> 01:35:22,370 this which is we should rise above 2021 01:35:26,990 --> 01:35:24,900 materialism and the idea that buying 2022 01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:27,000 things is going to make us happy that 2023 01:35:30,410 --> 01:35:29,010 actually may not be in the best interest 2024 01:35:31,910 --> 01:35:30,420 of all the people who have the money and 2025 01:35:34,010 --> 01:35:31,920 they want to invest because they're in 2026 01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:34,020 it for a profit now not all commercial 2027 01:35:38,300 --> 01:35:36,810 sectors in a for-profit so you know I'm 2028 01:35:41,030 --> 01:35:38,310 not trying to draw a conclusion there 2029 01:35:42,710 --> 01:35:41,040 yeah I think in a utopian world I think 2030 01:35:45,380 --> 01:35:42,720 the right companies would still be there 2031 01:35:47,230 --> 01:35:45,390 and I see others would follow them I 2032 01:35:50,030 --> 01:35:47,240 think I think this is the case because I 2033 01:35:52,610 --> 01:35:50,040 think there are more and more companies 2034 01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:52,620 showing that they have also this kind of 2035 01:35:56,990 --> 01:35:54,530 mindset that they are not only putting 2036 01:35:59,570 --> 01:35:57,000 profit I mean we had this thing in the 2037 01:36:01,880 --> 01:35:59,580 business which were called single profit 2038 01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:01,890 single bottom line versus triple bottom 2039 01:36:05,170 --> 01:36:03,210 line so single prop 2040 01:36:08,140 --> 01:36:05,180 a single bottom line was only prof 2041 01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:08,150 and triple bottom line is people profit 2042 01:36:12,010 --> 01:36:10,730 and planet right so there are these kind 2043 01:36:14,710 --> 01:36:12,020 of things and I think it's a process 2044 01:36:17,170 --> 01:36:14,720 it's it's gradually shifting towards 2045 01:36:18,940 --> 01:36:17,180 that direction and one could say okay if 2046 01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:18,950 this hasn't checked if this hasn't 2047 01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:20,570 shifted we can't do anything about it or 2048 01:36:23,860 --> 01:36:21,650 we could take an attitude which 2049 01:36:26,650 --> 01:36:23,870 basically says we will support the shift 2050 01:36:28,810 --> 01:36:26,660 by what we do right and with that 2051 01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:28,820 because I'm seriously concerned that 2052 01:36:36,070 --> 01:36:29,930 this building is going to collapse 2053 01:36:38,460 --> 01:36:36,080 instance in 30 seconds is a product oh 2054 01:36:40,810 --> 01:36:38,470 yeah information is a product absolutely 2055 01:36:43,570 --> 01:36:40,820 okay before the Thunder ghetto all right 2056 01:36:45,130 --> 01:36:43,580 okay thank you very much it's highly 2057 01:36:47,020 --> 01:36:45,140 appreciated I hope you basically got 2058 01:36:49,480 --> 01:36:47,030 something out of the conversations bill 2059 01:36:51,610 --> 01:36:49,490 is going to put his statistics hat into 2060 01:36:53,470 --> 01:36:51,620 this and see whether you can make some 2061 01:36:56,770 --> 01:36:53,480 sense out of non statistically relevant 2062 01:36:58,330 --> 01:36:56,780 data I wish you a very nice evening I'm 2063 01:37:00,490 --> 01:36:58,340 looking forward to see you guys all 2064 01:37:00,940 --> 01:37:00,500 tomorrow for the for the next day of the
