Harsh Truth about Universe and How to Overcome and Appreciate It?
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Sean M Carroll Explains that what science has done for 400 years is called Naturalism, The Idea that there is only One reality that there are not separate plans of Natural and supernatural that there is only one material existence of the universe and how science got there is by basically realising that human beings are not that smart and we as humans are subject to all sorts of biases is cognitive shortcomings and therefore science develops techniques to give us reality checks. But at last he explains the universe does not care about you, as the universe is made up of elements that does not have intelligence, does not pass judgements and the fear we have is that if the purpose is not given us by the universe then it cannot exist but the good news is that fear is a mistake that we create purpose and meaning in the universe, its like if we love somebody that love is not put into you by somebody rather you created that love, its a choice that you made and it in itself gives a freedom of life and purpose. If you accept the universe for what it is, and if we approach reality with an open mind and heart then we can create life very much worth living.

For anyone interested Sean has recently written a book called: The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself. He is an excellent science educator and is extremely talented at explaining highly technical subjects in a very clear and accessible way.

This bastard is full of shit

H.P. Lovecraft said that the most frightening idea of all, which underlies all his horror stories, is that the universe is completely indifferent to us.

1 Science works. Pseudoscience, parascience, the paranormal, superstition, religion, as well as holy books don’t work because they’re based on fear of death.
2 Science goes by logic, evidence, and the scientific method, not by common sense. Common sense kills.
3 At 8:37...Our body is material; our mind is a material process, the product of our brain. All our thoughts, insights, beliefs, feelings, emotions, and intentions come from the brain. The heart is just a powerful pump; to talk about an open heart is a nonsensical metaphor millennia in the making. 🙃 -
Science is only man, trying to explain, what God has already done.

Naturalism is object credit giving. There is no way mindless matter ever made any directed working part of you!

Can't agree more!

Why are we having a debate? Because muh feels.

Since humans are not smart at all, i have concluded that he is talking nonsense.
Science is a conspiracy. -
lol, you people think this is science or even philosophy? anti-logic. Hello down there for the 5th deviation.

"We are not smart enough to get true knowledge about the world just by thinking about it." That immediately brought to mind Carl Sagan in Cosmos (episode 7 - The Backbone of Night) talking about Pythagoras and Plato and how they embraced mysticism and were hostile towards observation and experiment. This line by Sagan in particular came to mind: "He (Plato) advised the astronomers not to waste their time observing the stars and planets. It was better, he believed, just to think about them." It was this kind of thinking which sent science into the dark ages.

Another titan of reason. Carroll is incredible.

Amazing speech

I love this guy, a great science educator using logic and reason, he is so eloquent when speaking. Reminds me of the late great Carl Sagan. I am inspired and at the same time depressed. Imagine if our politicians were like him, we would be living in a different world.

Atoms are physically altered by people all the time. That is the point.
