This channel features lectures, interviews and speeches by the Holberg Laureates, Nils Klim Laureates, and other guests at Holberg Prize events. The objective of the Holberg Prize is to increase awareness of the value o research in the humanities, social sciences, law or theology.
The Holberg Prize is an international prize awarded annually to a scholar who have made outstanding contributions to research in the fields mentioned above. The Prize amounts to NOK 6 000 000 (approximately EUR 525,000 or USD 575,000 as of 01.04.2020). The Prize was established by the Norwegian Parliament in 2003, and awarded for the first time in 2004. It is named after the Danish-Norwegian writer Ludvig Holberg.
The Holberg Prize organisation also awards the Nils Klim Prize each year to a scholar from the Nordics under 35 years within the same above mentioned fields, and hosts a research competition called the Holberg Prize School Project for students in Norwegian upper secondary schools.
You are delusional. Russia is already fighting all of NATO. Was it not for all the funds, supplies, ammunition, weapons craft constantly supplied to Ukraine, Ukraine would have lasted maybe 2 months in total. On top of that, Russia is not even fully committed in this. They know Ukraine is squandering most of the money sent to them. Ukraine has always been corrupt to the core. So it is in Russia's best interest to keep this war going, as it is rapidly depleting NATO nations funds and ammo. USA dont even have ammunition left for a lot of arms. You underestimated Putin once again, at your own peril.
I had a profound Spiritually Transformative Experience (STE) in 1978 at age 22. From that experience, I am convinced that the "physical/material" is, as Max Planck stated, "derivative from Consciousness." All that actually exists is Consciousness. All of our experiences are Perception In Consciousness. This is how everything comes from nothing, nothing of any material substance. It's all Perception In Consciousness. Veridical NDEs are best evidence of our being Consciousness experiencing various Perceptions In Consciousness. We are partitioned bits of a Consciousness Singularity experiencing Perception In Consciousness. The paradoxes of Quantum Physics vanish under this protocol, which is monistic and highly parsimonious. Consciousness is the Field within which we exist.
I talked to my mum about the nature of fish just the other day, explaining how I view it. I've never understood why people in general consider fish - or ticks and ants etc. - less valid (for lack of a better word) than animals like dogs and horses. I've often thought about fish in particular because I was told from a young age that they didn't experience pain. I've never accepted that claim as a fact... and at some point that led me to think about whether they had emotions as well, and I soon realised that I believed that they do. When I saw a video of a wild fish returning again and again to a man to be petted and even to be lifted out of the water and thrown back in, my conviction grew even stronger. Why would it do that unless it enjoyed it? And doesn't the feeling of enjoyment require a consciousness? Can you have feelings without a consciousness? It's hard for me to imagine that you can.

Regarding dreams: “Tell me one last thing,” said Harry. “Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?” “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?” After dreaming that I spent time with my dad, who died six months ago, I wake up having spent time with my dad. Whether or not it happened in a physical sense and whether or not his consciousness was involved are irrelevant factors to me.
The dilemma of why we would never conclusively admit that free will doesn't exist is because it would advertently be freeing all criminals of their actions as we would be stating that they had no control of their will = they are a car, so the question would be what controlled their will = what is the driver of the car if it is not the individual? The question would then be what are we punishing in a hit-and-run murder? As it would be equivalent to punishing the car for a hit-and-run murder and not the driver. Thereby by default we ,must conclude that Free will exist. 🧐🕵♂
God has created us. He is supreme, eternal conscious existence. He made us with consciousness, to enjoy an eternal relationship with Him through Jesus Christ our LORD.
Why does America want to be the Lord who determines who should have nuclear capability isn't itself the only rogue state that has not only the majority of jimpoverished its own citizens and proceeds to spread its so called "democratic" to other unwilling countries? Americans confuse rule by the rich for "democracy.Americs is the very threat to world peace a d access to means of production to the majority; America has democratic enmeshed with capitalism, and that, is at the heart of the threat to worid peace. rather than peaceful coexistence.
Mearsheimer was the only logical person in this debate. The US and Nato are out of control and have bankrupted the west and at this point maybe worse. Thanks crazy neocons, you ruined all of us and will probably get us all killed soon. What was Russia supposed to do considering all you did to provoke?
Wrong question? ,,, Why it have to be just 'extended'? Could it be 'imploded' ? ( then, it doesn't have to extend into something 'out of it' ... .... and If you think twice, what humans call their consciousness is more an experience that collapse into itself and makes then to experience what they tend to believe is a unique and non-transferable continuum of subjective experience ... to begin questioning if the apes subjective experience is a thing that 'extend' beyond their subjectivity is something that doesn´t fit at all with their own notions about been conscious ... You could say consciousness never extend beyond my self but my self is an implosion of a field of consciousness ... and that field, - in the apes - could be called the intersubjective domain ... (conformed by all the subjective experiences in a 4D energy/matter/time-space inertial layer ) ... Then, the real question is ... Is the intersubjective field conscious ??
I don't normally comment, but I thought this was too funny not to say something. Basically, I've felt really tired the last few nights and I finally figured out that it's because I've been sleep walking. How do I know this? Well, I woke up this morning to find that I had turned my bedroom light on, had opened my laptop and for some reason decided to watch 1 hour and 38 minutes of a debate about consciousness of the brain. At 2:40 AM! To be clear, I have never expressed any interest in this topic and have no idea why or how I even got here. However, it was definitely ironic to figure out that I watched almost two hours of a debate about consciousness extending beyond the brain, when I was in fact unconscious. Either way, I'm sure my unconscious brain found this very insightful. It's just a shame my awake one can't remember a word of it.
ill give you one simple example of a real delusion, pretending something is not happening when it is to cover ones lack of resolve or truth. The delusion is basically a lie forced onto other or asking one to lie on behalf of someone else or false idea used in a collective sense to stifle reality. Ill give you example about the definition of life or what constitutes life for instance. If you use a hypothetical like this= If you decide to abort or destroy life at any stage of pregnancy and you extended this process to all constituents for instance would life exist or not after a period of 100 years? Meaning you use this method to all and then see if it has any particular results so that we may define it. If the result is after the 100 year time span life does exist then it was not life as a definition as it would exist but if life in a human sense was did not exist after the 100 year time span then it is life as it was not able to exist. Therefore if you extend the function to all its impossible for life to exist meaning that it is classed or defined as life because we wouldn't exist if the hypothetical is used to it full potential. This right here is a pure truth but more importantly it is non delusional because it is so, the need for delusion in the life argument highlights the need for some delusion in life or positions to compensate for era of judgement. But the fact remains life cannot and will not change because one wants that to be so it works not on language itself but actual truth and cannot be denied or defined or made false to suit weak positions. This is an example of how delusion begins and ends with a hypothetical case. But the main significance is to cancel untruths and or delusions and replace it with truth which is the point of reference. Just imagine how much waste of energy or time has been spent with this one issue or what I might call a lack of resources and common sense. You have to ask yourself why? I might add that a lot of individuals have a vested interest or reason to abstain from truth or reality but what you never do is ask someone or promote it. Why would someone want to do that? If you ever find yourself in that situation threw no fault of your own I hope you decide to come to your senses.
Both left and right hold onto delusions but for specific reasons like the life argument for instance. It was and is used to gather a half portion of votes or to at least harness a large proportion of votes under the guise of assistance or empowerment. But the problem is is that one must be deluded to believe in it then that delusion is manifested or passed onto other with a snowball effect creating truth where truth did not exist. This is a problem you see.
The power of the life argument actually can be used in the hypothetical sense as this method is actual best to get results as it is abstract to a degree. It is similar to consciousness and survival or survival in conscious states with the basic takeaway add and subtract method to define by definition what it actually is and if you are clever enough to realize how it happens if you think outside the box. Ill give you another hint or tip . If you takeaway conscious state or what we call being what is the actual outcome or result? We use this method to try in language to best define what it is by this method to the highest degree possible within the scope. If the conscious state is not needed for survival then it is not survival as a definition but if the conscious state is required for survival or to partake in the process itself of survival then it is so or is this. When we use this more simplistic method it is much easier to understand also it is so or true as we have discovered with the life argument meaning I use the same method and technical system. I could elaborate further but I will leave a bit of work for you to do so you can think on your own so I may empower you.
That one simple basic hypothetical is enough to distinguish and extinguish delusion or untruths about reality. That is my prime example and only tool required to determine life which was never really in doubt except in a disingenuous sense by other.
Do not mistake it. God made it happen. God made consciousness. He made science. You can explain and explore these things while chained down here in the simulation. It’s very interesting. However you’re still in his matrix of flesh. You’ll never even reach the point where you can sense the walls in which he contained us in. His perfect will to proceed. Who will you choose.
Ok nonbeliever, LOL it is like saying that the Devil is not real... this is all energy.... LOL these people and their researches...... you are no one and have no power.... not even all your titles can explain many things about the universe.... it is like if a cell was trying to explain what she is and she does not even know LOL
1:49:25 I was going to write that I hate those types of religious people but I will say that if I had a choice I would like to speak with the lady than this man...He bulldozed with ossified thinking as if he was driven by Pavlovian reaction. He lives in the fear of God and it shows. Every thought that is somewhat different from Christian way of understanding generates a verbal reaction. I hate this kind of religious "left" side of the divine warm I would like to feel from the altar when it is produced by this type of unthinking :( For me this is the poison Hitch was talking about.. this type of blind verbal reaction :( I understand that many people reading this will be from families of that upbringing, I respect you, you may be having large houses, great health, money, large happy families but as a partner for a compassionate conversation you are not.
Without consciousness you don't exist or you cannot stay alive, if you use a basic hypothetical equation which is one you can somewhat define its intent ,nature or reality by this method. Its appropriate that the only similar condition you can use in reference is Anistasia but in terms of survival you cannot function or partake in the process closer to death in relation to it also. If you basically subtract consciousness from the equation survival itself becomes irrelevant or impossible unless in a vegetation state or unable to participate in the process which is very relevant to distinguish the necessity for a median which is survival itself through a vessel. Survival is abstract in this sense because it requires no material itself to exist it just is or that every biological entity must partake in the actual function so that it may have the opportunity to manifest itself which in actual reality is what consciousness is which is the manifestation of survival in mind which makes the abstract possibility or idea reality. You could also say also that it is the evolution of survival in mind or the idea through function or trajectory by participation in the actual concept or reality of survival which highlights itself through mind with certain attachments or dispositions in material or attributes. Every extension or product or material acquisition is related in turn to or for the ability of one to survive including language itself and all without exception to survival and the continuation of material substance, The disposition in turn of smaller structures must hold or have certain criteria or attributes for this soul purpose but one must be able to participate int the actual process before elaboration or evolution may in sue. This is why Ai will find it difficult to reach a conscious state because it lacks the historical and trajectory that is already there to begin with in creatures like us and in almost all other living entities. The basic takeaway is that if you do not have consciousness survival is impossible and therefore irrelevant for survival to exist it must exist as and in consciousness or conscious states without it survival itself becomes impossible or irrelevant and is then disposed of. This is just a sample but it outlines definition to a reasonable degree of understanding and it also is actually present within the system of consciousness itself as it needs the median for relevance sake. If you subtract or add consciousness to survival it can only exist with it but in turn defines it and highlights the hypothetical with subtraction as defined .
The universe is and will find away for itself to continue it naturally you might want to say continues or perpetuates itself in this degree with expansion or continuation of self or itself and in turn all without exception must follow its historical bassline or trajectory or disposition as e reflective measure of intent that which encompasses its flow or form or within the structure itself of the universe. The material baggage or exponents or entities within it like the mind must have and are or hold within it the identical composites or criteria which have historical significance and can explain some somewhat long held positions of what or why it is what it is to which purpose one follows or descriptive stories historically about Survival God the Evolution of God or how one might think of how one becomes to be like God through which technique. Or you might want to ask this what major contributor made God the way he is how could he/she have these attributes unless it always existed. The natural takeaway is that within the realm of the structure the abstract must itself find away to materialize in essence for which then the abstract concept finds away to exist in another sphere or another way as an evolutionary expression as this coincides with development similar to the fruition of survival existing in reality through the median mind as what we might say conscious is the definition of survival existing in reality manifesting itself or elevating itself or evolving in mind or brain but still constant with abstraction and material functoriality or both. As the historical nature or intent is realised through material structure the abstract composition has a median to work with which is survival in mind through consciousness or survival can realise its disposition through a median or material object.
I have done some intense research on the question to use in language which is limited to best define or outline what consciousness is to put it in some relative understanding or perspective to the highest degree possible with the scope of linguistics which is limited. The best description is to what it is is this. Without consciousness what is the result or outcome? If the answer is non existence then the reverse defines it. What is the opposite to non existence? Existence or survival realised in reality meaning survival is the continuation of substance. Then you ask what is the definition of survival or why does it exist the word. It exist to realise its potential through a median or matter or substance. Without the substance consciousness is irrelevant or is impossible to be true or exist and without survival consciousness is impossible or irrelevant meaning the same thing. You cant have one without the other ,Without the process or trajectory which is a natural reflective composition installed in the constituents which make material matter relevant is the underlining disposition of intent of the constituent both as reflective to the whole but functional in capacity. You can look or see this as this, since the abstract idea of survival and its need for material communication to exist as a real phenomena it needs to use non abstract entity. Or consciousness is how survival can be or exist in reality and has different degrees of elaboration or growth. The longer the evolution process the higher degree of survival or consciousness which actually goes back in historical terms to the dinosaurs and beyond. The way through which both survival occurs and consciousness can be best described as Brain. Or without the brain lower consciousness is present or probable non reality or existence lets say that. For survival to mature or make itself more relevant it needs this conscious state or realm to exist. Because of definition clarification we can then make the next logical step to determine or answer what is consciousness without the ability to survive and what is survival without the ability to be conscious of surviving.

We constantly question the reasons behind everything, but who is the one doing the asking? I think it's simply the combination of our body and mind - not a distinct "ego" or individual element that defines our true identity - "I" is every single cell in our body. The act of "asking" solely serves the purpose of survival. As biological beings, mammals, primates, and animals, our innate desire is to exist and thrive - that's the program. Through our curiosity and the myriad of questions it brings, our bodies strive to maintain an optimal state, purely to keep functioning - our bodies don't seek these answers for some profound truth, but rather as a biological process reminding us to "stay in line" - nothing extraordinary, just a mechanism to prevent premature damage, like a screensaver for a monitor. A person's life is finite - this fact alone renders the inquiry into the significance of our quest for knowledge superfluous. We consistently hand down our inquiries to the next generation, resulting in amusing consequences such as civilisation and technological advancement, akin to an unintentional "mini-evolution" of nature. I doubt that humans have the direction or even the capacity to comprehend and "conquer" the universe - it might be an unattainable goal, leaving us forever confined to this form of existence. Unless we artificially accelerate our evolution and transform into something entirely new and different.
Yes Indeed accelerate evolution but unless the species survives this will not occur so survival is the goal and is of course paramount to any elaboration there after. The asteroid is the most lethal so we must start or try at least to build or have survival capacities without earth and we must consider to populate the galaxy at the least. we wont evolve if we cant survive the times.
I also class any secondary acquisitions as weaker than the original proposition such as survival to thrive as it weakens the strength of survival or first protocol which some in vain attempt to try. All secondary elaborations hold lower rank to survival as protocol because no evolution or possible elaboration can happen without it. This is why Survival is consciousness and vice versa by simple addition and subtraction methods.
I will submit to Survival to Evolve to become something else as I think quite smartly defines the essence of it or the need to survive within mind or conscious states.
Some people are so closed minded! I had an NDE why ? Due to myasthenia gravies. Result I nearly died and went into the tunnel bla bla bla. The most transformative experience of my entire life . I lost some memory of my youth yes but I gained a spiritual insight and wisdom. Result I am not afraid of death because there is none😅
So George wants to try Marxism/communism once again a system that has killed hundreds if millions and impoverished every country that has implemented such a system..Capitalism has lifted billions out of poverty
2:35:00 - that is one really spot on talk. didn't imagine i'd be hearing the same things in here. i'm pleased i found them. never thought i'd sit through one of these but it was a really good talk.
A lot of this is such BS. Like the idea that there are dozens of studies that show that a person in NZ can accurately predict 25% (one of four) people about to phone then with 50% accuracy. I'd love to see those studies. I hate these interviews because it make psychology in general look like BS.
