sam harris: mindfulness is powerful but keep religion out of it
Bookmarked 580 weeks ago sam harris says that stress-reductive benefits of meditation are rather trivial compared to the insights one can discover about the nature of the self and though such mindfulness practices can and should be approached secularly the business of religion is all too often a forced and unnecessary part of the parcel harris is the author of waking up: a guide to spirituality without religion http:googl2n8ckvread more at bigthinkcom: http:googlrzeqdtfollow big think here:youtube: http:googlcptsv5facebook: https:wwwfacebookcombigthinkdotcomtwitter: https:twittercombigthinktranscript: mindfulness is very much in vogue at this moment as many of you probably know and its often taught as though it were a glorified version of an executive stress ball its a tool you want in your tool kit it prepares you emotionally to go into a new experience with a positive attitude and you know youre not hauling around baggage from the past and thats true actually having focus and having your mind in the present moment is a little bit of a superpower in situations that were all in from day to day but that actually undervalues what mindfulness really is and its true potential its more like the large hadron collider in that its a real tool for making some fundamental discoveries about the nature of the mind and one of these discoveries is that the sense of self that we all carry around from day to day is an illusion and cutting through that illusion i think is actually more important than stress reduction or any of the other conventional benefits that are accurately ascribed to mindfulnessthe enemy of mindfulness and really of any meditation practice is being lost in thought is to be thinking without knowing that youre thinking now the problem is not thoughts themselves we need to think we need to think to do almost anything that makes us human to reason to plan to have social relationships to do science thinking is indispensable to us but most of us spend every moment of our waking lives thinking without knowing that were thinking and this automaticity is a kind of scrim thrown over at the present moment through which we view everything and its distorting of our lives its distorting of our emotions it engineers our unhappiness in every moment because most of what we think is quite unpleasant were judging ourselves were judging others were worrying about the future were regretting the past were at war with our experience in subtle or coarse ways and much of this self-talk is unpleasant and diminishing our happiness in every moment and so meditation is a tool for cutting through thatits interrupting this continuous conversation were having with ourselves so that is that in and of itself is beneficial but there are features of our experience that we dont notice when were lost in thought so for instance every experience youve ever had every emotion the anger you felt yesterday or a year ago isnt here anymore it arises and it passes away and if it comes back in the present moment by virtue of your thinking about it again it will subside again when youre no longer thinking about it now this is something that people tend not to notice because we rather than merely feel an emotion like anger we spend our time thinking of all the reasons why we have every right to be angry and so the conversation keeps this emotion in play for much much longer than its natural half-life and if youre able through mindfulness to interrupt this conversation and simply witness the feeling of anger as it arises youll find that you cant be angry for more than a few moments at a time if you think you can be angry for a day or even an hour without continually manufacturing this emotion by thinking without knowing that youre thinking youre mistaken and this is something you can just witness for yourself this is again this is an objective truth claim about the nature of subjective experience and its testable and mindfulness is the tool that you would use to test itone problem is that most of the people who teach mindfulness and i know many of the great vipassana teachers in the west and in the east and i have immense respect for these people i learned to meditate in a traditionally buddhist context but most people who teach mindfulness are still in the religion business theyre still theyre propagating western buddhism or american buddhism transcript truncateddirectedproduced by jonathan fowler elizabeth rodd and dillon fitton |

sam harris: can psychedelics help you expand your mind
Bookmarked 576 weeks ago sam harris discusses the virtues of psychedelics such as lsd and mdma while he does not condone the use of these drugs without caveat he does acknowledge their profound consciousness-altering properties harris is the author of waking up: a guide to spirituality without religion http:googl2n8ckvread more at bigthinkcom: http:googl8volzufollow big think here:youtube: http:googlcptsv5facebook: https:wwwfacebookcombigthinkdotcomtwitter: https:twittercombigthinktranscript: well many people ask me about the virtues of psychedelics because ive written about this on my blog and in my book waking up and they were at a point early in my inquiry they were indispensable and this is an experience thats shared by many westerners its hard to really recommend psychedelics without serious caveats because some of them i think are probably neurotoxic some are really well tolerated but still you can have very scary destabilizing experiences on them so you just cant without a caveat recommend that people drop acid or take mdma so its everything i say on the subject should be understood in that context but for some people taking a drug is the only way theyre going to notice that its possible to have a very different experience of the world theyre sufficiently lumpen and uninquisitive about the nature of their own minds that if you tell them to meditate if you teach them mindfulness if you tell them how to follow their breath they will look inside for 30 seconds or 30 minutes and see nothing of interest and walk away feeling that theres no there there either it doesnt work for them or that everyone else must be just faking it or theres it requires a certain talent and a certain degree of luck therefore to have enough concentration to connect with any spiritual practice the first time or even the tenth time or even after a year of attempting it because its just these practices are difficult and the conditioning of our minds to just ceaselessly talk is deepso as terence mckenna once said psychedelics are the only method that truly guarantee an effect and this effect can be again very painful youre not necessarily going to have a good experience but theres no question that if someone gives you 100 micrograms of acid something is going to happen two hours later the significance of your existence will have just been borne down on you like an avalanche and again this can be terrifying or it can be absolutely sublime depending on various causes and conditions but the one thing it cannot be is boring and that is you cant say that about yoga or meditation or just going into solitude or anything else that any other you know non-pharmacological means of inquiry so where drugs have been indispensable for many people is in advertising the possibility of a change in consciousness and so i dont think theyre durable methods for people that i dont think you need or should just keep taking drugs month after month year after year as a mode of spiritual inquiry but theres certainly a period in many peoples lives at the beginning where you wouldnt even see a glimmer of reason to suspect that a radical change in the nature of your experience would be possiblemy first experience with psychedelics that was important that actually shifted my view of human possibility was with mdma which i took before it became a club drug i think this was in 1987 i took it and no one i knew no one of my generation had taken it and although the drug obviously goes back many decades before that and it had not been adopted by popular culture as a party drug so this was coming pretty much coming out of the therapeutic community people were doing in a closeted way psychotherapy with it and i took it as a means of discovering something about the nature of my mind it was not a social situation i was just a friend and i were alone and we took it together and just had a conversation on this drug and what was revelatory about it was that it was an experience of absolute sobriety it was not there was no druggy component to it we just became clearer and clearer and clearer in our thinking and feeling and the crucial component of this was a loss of any feeling of self-concern transcript truncateddirected produced by jonathan fowler dillon fitton and elizabeth rodd |

bill nye to climate change deniers: you cant ignore facts forever
Bookmarked 588 weeks ago bill nye the science guy explains that climate change deniers and other anti-scientists are entitled to their opinion but that doesn039t mean they get a seat at the table with the grown-ups bill is the ceo of the planetary society http:planetaryorg don039t miss new big think videos subscribe by clicking here: http:googlcptsv5for more bill nye the science guy go to http:billnyecomtranscript -david gregory: youve heard the president in drought-stricken california saying that these weather emergencies in effect are creating the conditions that the government has to actmarsha blackburn: david i think that what it brings to mind is how we utilize the information that we have and we all know and i think that bill would probably agree with this neither he nor i are a climate scientist he is an engineer and an actor i am a member of congress and what we have to do is look at the information that we get from climate scientists as you saidbill nye: so she did something which is very common in the climate denier community or whatever you would call it is to talk about credentials so marsha blackburn representative in the us congress from tennessee said well i am a congresswoman and bill you039re just a mechanical engineer so you039re not really a climate scientist and what i would say is what we039re talking about in this level of climate science is you don039t need to be a full-time climate scientists to understand it furthermore as far as my credentials everybody i039m a mechanical engineer i took a lot of physics all i did was take physics physics physics physics and when you039re done with formal physics then you take mechanical engineering which is just applied physics i get it i can understand what039s going on we039re putting carbon dioxide in the air at a prodigious rate and the world is getting warmer and you can know this by looking at the neutrons in the ice you can know this by looking at the pollen grains per cubic centimeter in the sediment of ponds you can know this by looking carefully at the rings on trees during warm seasons wet seasons cold seasons dry seasons and you can work your way back and figure out that the earth is getting warmer faster than has ever gotten before and that039s the problem it039s not that the world hasn039t had more carbon dioxide it039s not the world hasn039t been warmer the problem is the speed at which things are changing we are inducing a sixth mass extinction event kind of by accident and we don039t want to be the extinctee if i may coin this noun so i mean as far as miss blackburn sounded like she had been coached on denial bullet points or talking points and i very much enjoy taking those people on but meanwhile it breaks my heart because we got work to do and the fossil fuel industry has really gotten in their ears and it039s really troublesome we039re the world039s most technically advanced country or if the us isn039t the most technically advanced it039s certainly in the top ten i mean you could say japan new zealand are very sophisticated societies but the us is where iphone039s are invented what have you the internet it039s still a significant place and so to have a generation of science students being brought up without awareness of climate change is just a formula for disaster i mean this is everybody kinda knows thisso i think as an observer and i may be wrong as i like to say you may be right as an observer it looks like the us039s strength is its weakness so people came here from all over the world for freedom to think and act the way they wanted especially freedom of religion so we ended up with both the people who framed the constitution which is a fabulous thing and people who asserted that the garden of eden was in missouri and there039s no police for that sort of thing you039re allowed to believe whatever you want it039s great but with that was this for them and i emphasize them the other side consequence of that was you could also ignore facts of science for a while and now its coming to a head but man it039s really divisive isn039t it it039s really something that living things change from generation to generation through a process that darwin and wallace alfred wallace called natural selection or descent with modification those are true things those are facts tectonic plates move and that039s a fact and the world is getting warmer because of human activity that039s a fact if you had somebody who really strongly believed the earth was flat you wouldn039t have to have that person on a television show with the people who believe the earth is round transcript truncateddirected produced by jonathan fowler dillon fitton and elizabeth rodd |
