Brief Video Description:
Belief, whatever you chose to believe about belief, the chances are someone else will believe something different. Surely it's in these differences that we can find the commonalities and start to explore what belief really is? To start, we'll consider the notion of religion and how that relates to belief. Next, we'll look at Darwinian vs Newtonian thinking. Thirdly we'll look at a perspective that sounds very much like a coding perspective. Finally we'll look at more traditional styles of argument and see how those compare to the more intellectual perspectives on belief.
I did consider how I might articulate my own case fairly directly, but when I did the research for this video, I realised that The Art of Story had done more or less just what I wanted to do, only with a quality and elocquence that I would find nearly impossible to produce in the production schedule for the Ontological Rabbit Hole. I'm sorry guys, at the moment it's taking me a month per episode to get just right, though I'm trying to increase that now I'm settling into functional habbits from my more creative fluid intelligence appraoch. Hmmm... seems I've been learning on the way.
I'm highlighting some of the most captivating videos I've wathced here and I condense down short run through's of clips for commentary afterwards.
