I don't even want to cut down that branch,

法助動詞 A2

I mean, that other thing unless we can move it somewhere,

未来形

but we are going to cut that branch down, you know, I...

Jacque and Roxanne appear to be resting up

and recovering from about 7 months of lecturing abroad.

Sorry to the people in Canada for the last few lectures that had to be canceled.

Also, anybody out there that is able to do transcribing

for some of the talks if you could contact me,

we'd be very grateful for that, if you could send me an email.

and I'll be uploading it over the next few days in parts.

We are talking about investigating the nature of human behavior.

is if you go back in time and take some primitive people.

When I say primitive, I mean like outlying districts,

If you open a watch and show them the back mechanism,

they can't say how complex, how beautifully machined [it is].

They can't do that, you understand why? Anybody got a problem with that?

- Yes, I thought you had done that. Sorry, yes, okay, go ahead Jacque.

- You've got to listen to every word because

Now, if a psychologist wants to know how the brain works,

(say a neurologist) what he does is have you move your fingers,

and [he] picks up what area of the brain is active. Do you understand?

so they can map out what area becomes active.

They can't tell you whether it's right, wrong, good or bad.

They can map out areas of the brain by hitting your knee and getting,

picking up electrical signals from different parts of the brain.

You can map out the brain, but that doesn't tell you how the brain works.

There are many people who try to study the mind.

giving them a transistor, saying 'what is it?'

They can't say what it is. They don't know what a transistor is.

All they can do is cut it. Now if you bring a chemist in,

he can tell you what comprises a transistor:

certain amount of magnesium, silicone, you know what I mean?

But he can't tell you what it is. Is that real clear?

Studying the brain does not tell you anything about it.

You have to study the brain's reaction in relation to the environment.

When you shine a bright light in the eye it responds.

You can say this is how much of a response,

how little a response, but you can't tell what it is.

unless you study it in relationship to the environment.

A bird with wings can't fly where there is no air,

and will stop flying if you can put an oxygen mask on the bird,

and he will flap his wings and he won't get off the ground.

Now if you beat down one wing with more pressure,

you turn the wing into the wind, and beat down, he will bank.

A bird does not know how to fly instinctively.

He beats his wings different ways, and if it gets him

where he wants to go, by turning down, he moves forward.

If he turns it this way he stops in midair, if he's a hummingbird.

To study the bird, you have to study the environment the bird lives in.

Do you understand that? There's no way you can dissect the brain

If I want to study human behavior, what I'm really studying

is the reactions of human beings in a given environment.

I can't study human behavior.   I can study their reactions.

When something is hot, they move away from it.

When it's cold, they might move toward it. It all depends.

If a man goes down to a river and sees a fish,

and if he reaches for it, he usually can't get it.

If he hits it with a club, it's faster than his hand reaction,

he might catch fish that way, clubbing them.

The primitive brain doesn't look any different.

If you have a billion associations with ' boo-boo'

(a bunch of metaphysical stuff) billions of associations,

because you believe somebody that gave you those associations

You don't even have to know what they're talking about.

Right now they are concerned with foreclosures on banks.

They're concerned with giving the banks money,

and the banks didn't use that money for the purpose intended.

You can't do anything that way. You have to take in the whole picture
