Jaron Lanier - Learning by Experience & Play 

This needs to be seen by everyone. The implications are literally mind-boggling.

Jaron, you are by far my favorite intellectual. What ever your intentions, the depth is like none other. Keep it reel my brother. Thank you.

Ok. First: He is not an albino, I can only imagine that this is trolling, both his parents were Ukrainian Jews who fled the holocaust. Second: yes, he looks like a hobo, but I can imagine that this is because he spends less time worrying what people think of him and more time being a pioneer of virtual reality and a well respected intellectual. Best wishes!

He probably was saying something in binary code when he played his instrument.

Very interesting talk. Thank you for posting it.

I find it ...???...uh...I don't know , bizzare but kind of cool and refreshing that he integrates his most unique musical Talents and knowledge of the wide range of over a thousand different worldwide instruments along with these most intriguing interesting knowledge. Videos that I have now been binge-watching or maybe 12 hours after never hearing him before right now LOL however this is the first of them where I was trying to look at something on leave a comment I'm not your and I do not have access to my volume button and at 2:30... I finally was able to put it on you this noise that this instrument made just gave me the creeps I don't know of anybody else like that maybe it's just me? Everything else was done has been really interested in your naked women pleasurable unprofessional and seemingly indigenous but yeah the noise (NOT)...music... that creepy feeling you get when someone runs their fingers down a chalkboard anybody else?

I liked this lecture all way through - yet when he asked at 26:30 "you've ever heard of kinect in the UK ?" - there was a very silent "cough" in the background... I couldnt agree more O.o

omg it's beautiful!

The performance appears to have rendered at least two members of the audience unconscious.

Closed system, two components: alarm + black box. How to do it properly? I don't know.

RIP Kinect. I’ve seen a lot of cool stuff done with it before but apparently it came decades too early for the industry.

yes

Hmmm. I think his music is an acquired taste. I enjoy his talks much more.

His music got my cat's attention for some reason...

13:28 "The most profound early experiment was a lobster" **Jordan Peterson has entered the chat**

WHY CAN'T I HEAR THE REST OF THE VIDEO?????

Jaron Lanier composition entitled: "slow motion dial-up Tone" R.I.P headphone users..

Yes I have.

My bad, non-actual questions look a lot like actual questions when followed by question marks.

what about the flute??

Looks like comic book guy with dreads

Don't know about you but I turned my sound off at about :50. I liked his instrument better that way!

'volume spike' bf and after talk is insanely loud!

skip to 2:10

enhance your calm

Comic book guy

0:56 Turns out to be some complex bong

1990

WHAT A MIND FUCK! nice bong tho.

nice bong

my brain

He is trolling

Yup , sounds like a bunch of 1's and 0's !!!

My instincts: VR scariest Wastermann(sp?) because he didn’t understand it and tried to manipulate the genius to make people throw up and ruin the tech.

I mean, apart from the flagrantly racist overtones of that idiotic, semi-literate comment, Lanier is actually, if you must know, an Ashkanazi (i.e. European) Jew. Why any of that would be even kind of relevant though is utterly beyond me.

I'm sorry Jaron Lanier.

LOGO TOO LOUD!! >:(

he doesnt look any albino ive seen,

It's possible to appear white and have black ancestry. In such cases, it's really about self-identification of the individual, not appearances.

That wasn't an actual question, I just have never read anything about him being a albino.

Good to know. In modern usage though I'm pretty sure it describes all European Jews. Cheers.

All drumming scores talk about notes being either off or on... I'll bet people were drumming with multiple drums long before that godawful contraption was first invented.

Ashkenazi=German from medieval hebrew

He was born to Jewish immigrants from Europe...?

Jesus that's a god awful sound :(

stoner
