In this thought-provoking video, Ram Das )aka Richard Alpert) delves into the profound capabilities of the human mind, exploring the statement "Cogito Ergo Sum" (I think, therefore I am) and its deeper implications. We discuss how thinking shapes our reality, the evolution of human intellect, and the difference between knowledge and wisdom. The video also touches on the balance between our rational intellect and intuitive understanding, highlighting the importance of integrating both.

Key Points:
Cogito Ergo Sum: Understanding the traditional and deeper meanings of "I think, therefore I am."
Power of Thought: How thinking allows us to create, plan, and define ourselves.
Evolution of Intellect: From being upright bipeds to developing symbolic power and the thinking mind.
Knowledge vs. Wisdom: The distinction between being knowledgeable and being wise.
Intellect and Intuition: Balancing rational thought with intuitive understanding.
Isolation of the Thinking Mind: How over-reliance on intellect can lead to a sense of separateness.
Reincarnation and Reality: Brief discussion on reincarnation and the nature of reality.

    4:40 on wisdom wisdom is not something you posses: generally only when we agree with someone do we call them wise. I reject your argument that we need more wise people; if we didnt agree with them they would not be wise. furthermore: you talk about 'wisdom training' but failed to provide a definition of 'what' wisdom is, nor why it is so important nor how it is cultivated.
