What do teachers make?

YouTube - Taylor Mali on what teachers make

This is really damn cool

Tis good

Can someone make a thread which lists all of the video links wuf has made, I bet I've missed some gems. In fact, why don't you have your own thread wuf? Or maybe your own sub forum? The education thread.

This is the only one you need to know. Greatest thing ever made. I know nobody watched it...

If you wanna know what actually makes humans human, and get great insight into why we do what we do...

Nothing like a morning coffee and some neurobiology.

Rep nazis saying I can't give out more. A travesty. A sham.

Just reached the part about moral disgust and the part of the brain responsible for gustatory disgust adapting to react tp the abstract concept of moral disgust, very interesting stuff.

[rong]

Haha, chosing the hand wipes over the pen after speaking of a moral faiure is brilliant. I bet that info could be somehow useful in general life.

[rong]

And wow re the judging of immigration and how easily people could potentially be manipulated.

[wufwugy]

It really does put things into perspective to realize that the only real ntellectual difference between humans and chimps is longer neuronal gestation leading to more connections leading to use of symbolism and metaphor. Yet that utility is extremely crappy and rooted in unrelated areas. We basically just confuse the real with the abstract, and that's about it

[rong]

I don't think confuse is the right word. Confuse implies a mistake. I don't think we mistakenly perceive the abstract as real, just that the human body can react to the abstract as real. The brain processing the information produces a bodily reaction that is unneccesary, which I guess could be considered a mistake, but that doesn't imply that the brain is confused. In fact the brain can can both fool the body while being conciously aware of what is fooling the body. I think the lecture kind of touches on that.

I think I interpreted this differently. My final thoughts were that it's almost that what seperates us from chimps is the ability to believe in what isn't but what might be, or perhaps the ability to dream and imagine and then to chase our dreams.

[wufwugy]

Naw your interpretation is good too. Many ways of looking at this thing

[rong]

Great lecture though, and something I'd normally be unlikely to stumble accross.

Next video pleaase, sir!

In line with neurobiology, how the brain works, how we make decisions, etc, check out Dan Ariely and Jonah Lehrer. These are their two videos I remember the most

FORA.tv - Dan Ariely: Tendencies of Irrational Behavior

FORA.tv - Jonah Lehrer: Inside My Mind

Good stuff.
