I’ve watched the second one already. I respect Ash and Al-Khalili from various other videos I’m already familiar with. They keep it within bounds, but Radin?
Okay, since you asked, I think it’s contrived mental entertainment. At 2:30 (Radin) is invoking “extra-physical” factors. That’s pushing religion.
Why not first examine if we are interpreting the data correctly, then if our conclusions are justified? Instead, it’s like Radin is trying to run from first base to home plate. 28:00 that does not impress. That’s a salesman’s tactic. Science by rhetorical tricks rather than factual persuasion and constructive teaching/learning. 33:33, That diagram is very scrambled, plus looking through the wrong end of the microscope.
33:55 I find it disingenuous claiming quantum tests and the double slit experiment is a fair representative for “The Physical World” that we experience every moment of our lives.
So my question. In the end, where does any of this lead you, or point you to?Evidence that's slightly above random correlation "controlling the slit" or predicting it or whatever the claim. So what? Even if it were true, how's that going to impact anything in your life or your understanding of your world?
That subconscious things, or your mind, can impact/influence real world happening?. Yippy, isn’t that something most figure out intuitively anyways?
What really disturbs me about that sort of stuff, is escapism from facing yourself. Who you are, what you are feeling, and how you are interacting with the world you’re embedded within. If you want to learn about yourself, you need to look inward and when you look inward you also realize you need to back in to time and your origins and to also understand the evolution that created you and this world we inhabit. That gives you something to work with in a concrete, relevant, pragmatic, constructive manner.
This dreaming of finding answers for our lives, somewhere out there, is a dead end. But it sure does earn a lot of people a lot of money and fame.
Tell me, out of curiosity, have you read Donald Hoffman’s “Case Against Reality”?
