so we started to talk a little bit about phenomenology last time

were interested in experiences in some sense

as the ultimate as the ultimate reality,  and that's a very complicated

also adopted that viewpoint. they were concerned with the

but they were concerned with the reality of subjective experience

and they were also more focused action than on

you can think about this for a very long time

if you're trying to understand what someone believes

even if you're trying to analyze their representations of the world

if you should pay attention to how they act or what they say

and that's a profound question, even from a

perspective or a neuropsychological perspective, because

the memory system, that you use to represent

what you say, that you believe, is not the same

telling someone how to ride a bike and knowing how to ride a bike

the descriptions don't even lay very well on top of one another

because you don't actually know how you ride a bike

you just know how to do it. it's built into your physiology, right

that's called procedural memory, and procedural memories

that basically structures your perceptions

orient your perceptions consciously, you can

but once you've oriented them consciously

let's say, some goal, it's automatic procedures

that take over because you really don't know how that

you organize your senses so that you pay attention

and that if you were interested in belief

analyzing belief that it was better for you to look at how someone acted

would be predicated on the idea that that you should

so that there is no discontinuity between your

body, that's one way of thinking about it, and your mind

and so that there are fewer paradoxes in your

in the way that you manifest yourself in the world

so the concentration on action is one of the fundamental

Well we could say: "Ok, well built into that is

Trouble, built into that is Chaos, built into that is Anxiety

Without there being something wrong with you. Now, if you pin down a psychoanalyst

They would of course admit that human misery is endemic to

human experience, but Freud in particular

If you hadn't experience childhood trauma

and you had developed properly what would

you would end up healthy, roughly speaking

but the existentialists don't really buy that belief in the beginning

they basically make a different claim which is

that Life is so full of intrinsic misery, let's say

but suffering is a better way of thinking about it

manifests itself as a consequence of your intrinsic

vulnerability, that psychopathology is built

There's no real way of avoiding it or at least...

There's no real reason to look for extra causes

that might be a better way of thinking about it

you'd be surprised how often that observation is useful
