Darwin's Legacy (William Durham / Stanford University)

# click the top-left icon to select videos from the playlist

source: Stanford Last updated on 2014年9月25日
"Light will be thrown..." With these modest words, Charles Darwin launched a sweeping new theory of life in his epic book, On the Origin of Species (1859). The theory opened eyes and minds around the world to a radical new understanding of the flora and fauna of the planet. Here, Darwin showed for the first time that no supernatural processes are necessary to explain the profusion of living beings on earth, that all organisms past and present are related in a historical branching pattern of descent, and that human beings fall into place quite naturally in the web of all life.
Now, 150 years later and 200 years after Darwin's birth, we celebrate the amazingly productive vision and reach of his theory. In this Fall Quarter course, we will meet weekly with leading Darwin scholars from around the country to learn about Darwin's far-reaching legacy in fields as diverse as anthropology, religion, medicine, psychology, philosophy, literature, and biology. With such a broad reach across the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, no wonder the theory of evolution by natural selection has been called the single best idea, ever.

Dr. Leslie Carr: Why Presence in Relationships is Vital for Emotional He...

source: Talks at Google 2015年8月28日
Join us to learn how you can improve any relationship: work, career, personal, family, you name it. Make no mistake, this is a vital skill that can be learned and applied in a mindful way to improve your emotional intelligence and overall all of your relationships.
We will cover “mindfulness” as it applies to interpersonal relationships and the science behind this assertion.
Myth or Truth? A lot of people think of our emotional health is being biologically based.
Answer: Both! There is a lot of science to support the idea that it actually exists in response to our relationships.
We will cover anecdotes and stories that exemplify this, including how FBI negotiators and how they're trained to be better listeners so they can solve any crisis.
About Dr. Carr
Dr. Leslie Carr is a licensed clinical psychologist and an active writer for popular websites like MindBodyGreen and The Huffington Post. She has a private practice in San Francisco, and she does a lot of her clinical work via Skype as well.

Alvin E. Roth, Nobel Laureate in Economics: "Who Gets What — and Why" | ...

source: Talks at Google 2015年8月18日
In conversation with Google's Hal Varian, Professor Alvin E. Roth will discuss market design and his new book. If you’ve ever sought a job or hired someone, applied to college or guided your child into a good kindergarten, asked someone out on a date or been asked out, you’ve participated in a kind of market. Most of the study of economics deals with commodity markets, where the price of a good connects sellers and buyers. But what about other kinds of “goods,” like a spot in the Yale freshman class or a position at Google? This is the territory of matching markets, where “sellers” and “buyers” must choose each other, and price isn’t the only factor determining who gets what.

source: Talks at Google 2015年8月28日
Stana Katic joins Brendon Harrington at Google for a discussion about the Alternate Transportation Project. This is the interview portion.
Stana Katic, a well-known film & TV actress, currently starring the TV series CASTLE, is a strong advocate for the environment. Having lived in major cities around the world where alternative travel is the norm, Ms. Katic found limited options within Los Angeles to navigate the city without a car. Rather than accept a car-centric fate, Stana dedicated her time to discovering more environmentally sustainable ways to traverse the city. Hoping to share her experiences and discover how alternative travel was accomplished across the world, Stana created the Alternative Travel Project in 2010. Katic came to Google June 22, 2015 to talk about ATP.
Brendon Harrington is Google's Transportation Manager.

Queen of the Geeks, writer and star of The Guild and founder of Geek & Sundry, Felicia Day, came by Google NYC to talk about her first book "You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost): A Memoir."
About the book (complete info found at https://goo.gl/oZ3XIs):
From online entertainment mogul, actress, and “queen of the geeks” Felicia Day comes a funny, quirky, and inspiring memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to Internet-stardom, and embracing her individuality to find success in Hollywood.
The Internet isn’t all cat videos. There’s also Felicia Day—violinist, filmmaker, Internet entrepreneur, compulsive gamer, hoagie specialist, and former lonely homeschooled girl who overcame her isolated childhood to become the ruler of a new world…or at least semi-influential in the world of Internet geeks and Goodreads book clubs.

String theory (with its close relative, M-theory) is the
basis for the most ambitious theories of the physical
world. It has profoundly influenced our understanding of gravity, cosmology, and particle physics. In this course we will develop the basic theoretical and mathematical ideas, including the string-theoretic origin of gravity, the theory of extra dimensions of space, the connection between strings and black holes, the "landscape" of string theory, and the holographic principle.

In previous decades, most news with global reach came from several major newspapers and networks with the resources to gather information directly. The speed with which information spreads now, however, has created the ideal conditions for something called circular reporting. Noah Tavlin sheds light on this phenomenon.

Dr. Ron Siegel: "The Science of Mindfulness" | Talks at Google

source: Talks at Google 2015年8月26日
The Science of Mindfulness: Working with Anxiety, Depression, and Other Everyday Problems

Mindfulness-based psychotherapy is the most popular new treatment approach in the last decade—and for good reason. Studies demonstrate that mindfulness practices can be effective tools to help resolve anxiety, depression, addictive habits, stress-related medical disorders, and even interpersonal conflict. Mindfulness is not, however, a one-size-fits-all remedy. We need to tailor practices to particular problems. This talk will outline how mindfulness practices work to alleviate psychological distress and how anyone can creatively adapt them to work with the difficulty of the moment.

About Dr. Siegel
Dr. Ronald D. Siegel is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychology, part time, at Harvard Medical School, where he has taught for over 30 years. He is a long time student of mindfulness meditation and serves on the Board of Directors and faculty of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy. He teaches internationally about mindfulness and its application to psychotherapy and other fields, has worked for many years in community mental health with inner city children and families, and maintains a private clinical practice in Lincoln, Massachusetts.

Dr. Siegel is author of a guide for clinicians and general audiences, The Mindfulness Solution: Everyday Practices for Everyday Problems; coauthor of the self-treatment guide Back Sense: A Revolutionary Approach to Halting the Cycle of Chronic Back Pain,; coauthor of a recent skills manual, Sitting Together: Essential Skills for Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy; and coeditor of the critically acclaimed text, Mindfulness and Psychotherapy, 2nd Edition as well as Wisdom and Compassion in Psychotherapy: Deepening Mindfulness in Clinical Practice with a foreword by His Holiness the Dali Lama. His most recent work is a 24-lecture series produced by The Great Courses titled The Science of Mindfulness: A Research-Based Path to Well-Being. He is also a regular contributor to other professional publications, and is co-director of the annual Harvard Medical School Conference on Meditation and Psychotherapy.

Sudhir Hazareesingh on How the French Think

source: The RSA 2015年8月18日
France gave us the word intellectual; its world-leading thinkers taught us to reason. But in recent years, French thought has been in the doldrums – some say even in crisis. Award-winning historian Sudhir Hazareesingh asks: why the recent malaise?
The horrific Charlie Hebdo shootings in January 2015 exposed deep economic and social fractures in French society, and heightened a growing anxiety about France’s place in a globalised world order.
A nation renowned for its central ideals of citizenship, progress and social justice, and with a history of confident and often brazen optimism, has now been seized by a mood of introspection and doubt.
Award-winning author and academic Sudhir Hazareesingh explores the reasons behind the recent loss of confidence in the creativity of French public thinkers, and asks how might this nation’s once globally influential intellectual heritage be revived?

Robert Rowland Smith on Ideas

source: The RSA 2015年8月21日
We are becoming increasingly bombarded with ‘ideas’. But are there other ways of knowing that could enable us to experience the world more richly? Writer and philosopher Robert Rowland Smith investigates.
From TED talks to panel debates, we are becoming increasingly bombarded with ideas. But it’s not as if we don’t want them. When it comes to ideas, we seek them out. We believe they are the source of innovation and inspiration. We seek out people with ideas, and when we have ideas of our own, we feel good.
But ideas are not the be-all and end-all. The trouble with ideas is that they keep us in our heads. As such, they can cut us off from other forms of experience, forms that are non-cognitive. They fill our minds with abstractions. Ideas are not real. Nor do they feed the soul. What possible use does the soul have for ideas?

Often described as the science of patterns, mathematics is arguably humanity's most penetrating mental framework for uncovering the hidden patterns that lie behind everything we see, feel, and experience. Galileo described mathematics as the language in which the laws of the universe are written. Intended to give a broad overview of the field, these five illustrated lectures look at counting and arithmetic, shape and geometry, motion and calculus, and chance and probability, and end with a mind-stretching trip to infinity.
