Not only does "Think small" continue to inspire Volkswagen advertising to this day, it ushered in a creative revolution in the advertising business and changed the world of marketing forever. "Think small" showed the power of humor and honesty, and its photographic and design principles brought ...
Dacher Keltner(00:04:25) – And, you know, thankfully I’m in Berkeley and had the tools of science to dig into it. But yeah, it’s stunning in particular when you think about like René Descartes, Albert Einstein, Rachel Carson, so many people saying that or is just this fundamental...
As an example, think about a pilot who just lost an engine. He has to make a decision about what to do – lives are at stake. He has no need for an optimal solution; one that will keep him from crashing would be more than enough. Now imagine you are that pilot and review the 6...
saying that, "whatever else I may be, I know only that I am a thing that thinks." However, in some of his writings, Descartes makes it plausible to read him as making a metaphysical remark, that "I am only a thing that thinks." His reasoning might go something like this: "I know...

he does not maintain that this is possible to prove from natural reason. Indeed, in his short workOn the Eternity of the World, St. Thomas explicitly argues for the philosophical possibility of the world’s eternity. After all, God could have been creating (conserving) the world from all ...

So Descartes was wrong. We are not minds who have bodies, in the way we have a cricket bat or pair of sneakers. We are bodies. ‘Body am I entirely, and nothing more,’ wrote Nietzche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra,‘and soul is only the name of something in the body.’ Thinking and ...
Where does one find any objectivity in that? But then again, maybe this is the whole lesson which needs to be learned, that we can't know the truth unless we "experience" it? And, that maybe we shouldn't be so quick to discount those things which seem to arise solely from the mind...
