We need wisdom to face modern challenges caused by foolishness such as global warming, mental illness and ethical quagmires. However, though we respect wise people, we don't know what wisdom is. John Vervaeke, PhD offers a cognitive science theory of wisdom in this engaging talk and offers his contribution to the world. He summarizes his extremely popular "Higher Cognitive Processes" (PSY371) course on the psychology of wisdom at the University of Toronto as: "wisdom is rationally self-transcending rationality".

Four _so far_ I wonder if he's trapped himself into a similar box as the 9 dot problem needing them to all start with p's lol

Hello John, my name is George, and I have to say, after listening to your discussion with David Fuller, from Rebel Wisdom, and after only watching two of the many videos that you provide on your channel (wisdom and meditation) well... I have to say, that you are a godsend, a positive inspiration, and personally, a much needed one in my life currently. You are providing the tools and laying out a path, that one can use to help chip away at the negative build up, that we have allowed to embed itself in the fiber of our being. This negativity is like a parasite that takes on many forms.... bad habits that affect the physical aspect of our biology and health, i.e. gluttony, drug abuse, lethargy, neglecting appropriate maintenance of ones vessel, one's "shell" etc.... of the mind, poisoning of, if you will ., i.e. depression, arrogance, hate, self loathing, denial, extreme and continued pessimistic thought, unfair and blind judgement of others etc.... And, of the soul and spirit, breaking free from a useless narrative.. i.e. there is only nothingness after death.. disagreement with the idea that there is something much greater within oneself, and the world in which one lives, even after death. I sense your passion for that which you are embarking on, it's genuine and vibrant, and more importantly, contagious! You are the catalyst for the excitement and sense of urgency within me, to improve my foundation and understanding of that which is meaning. Thank you for providing everyone with this information that comes from your hard work and devotion! I look forward to following your lectures/speeches and reading more of your work.

The perspectival knowing is like a synthesis of rationalism and empiricism. Very similar to Kant's ideas about knowledge.

It's interesting how we ignore the Page, the Page to us means "nothing" and yet without it there is nothing to see! The Page is really the primary space of knowing and our words are secondary.

Wisdom is consistent, intelligent application of knowledge; wisdom obtains knowledge - where knowledge is of course empirical verification of what is stated falsifiably as the case.

Feeding into the zombie analogy. Prepping seems meaningful. When you have no meaning or, when you have meaning and it's being threatened?

+KiwiFuel I agree, for most it is too meta. Have you gotten a better understanding of wisdom since you watched this video?
@KiwiFuel
@KiwiFuel 8 лет назад
I suppose... I haven't gotten less wise. I may have gotten less prudent, but that's for other reasons.
@liming2104
@liming2104 8 лет назад
not getting less wise is good. I have to watch the video again to fully understand the ideas. I understood it the first time, just have to go over it again. most of the videos of wisdom that I saw the title for seemed like they were pertaining to religion.

+liming I would recommend watching an extended version of this lecture if you haven't. It's much more comprehensive. "Cognitive Science of Wisdom".

Prepositional knowing is all mind and not experience, it's like book learning, processing written down data. You can sit on your couch and do it. Procedural knowing is like the knowing we get from experience. It's like shooting a basketball, you can't learn it without a hoop and a basketball. Even our experience with English, we only know what words mean because of experience. But we can't make sense of any other language, that we aren't familiar with because of lack of experience. So it takes propositions and experience to really learn and internalize.

TiticatFollies He's enthusiastic, not agitated. That's what happens when you become passionate about your work. He's also a professor, & professors tend to be very intellectual :). If you listen to the talk from that perspective, then it's easier + very interesting!

Inner calm is not always rational; neither should it be the primary goal of existence (or even meditation for that matter) or the definition of an ultimate logos..an integrated perspective of being based on these principles, on the other hand, IS
