There are tons of interesting career opportunities out there that I never knew about:

The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks offers incredible opportunities to research Arctic regions.  They OWN A ROCKET RANGE. They do things like predict Aurora and monitor seismic and volcanic activity.  I wish I knew about this when I was younger.  https://www.gi.alaska.edu/

Check out the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

The US Navy has several options such as engineer, pilot, submariner, logistics, accountant, medical doctor, and even Public Affairs specialist. I continue to be impressed by people that I meed who spent time in the Navy.  I worked with various people during the course of filming this video and they were all top notch.  https://www.navy.com/

I asked Sofia to write a little blurb about her job experience: Sofia Montalvo is an Ice Analyst at the US National Ice Center (USNIC). She studied meteorology at the University of Miami and atmospheric science at North Carolina State University, but did not know that mapping and forecasting sea ice for safety and navigation was a thing she could do. She loves her job for the mission it upholds:  The USNIC Operations Department Analysts use remote sensing and model data to produce hemispheric, regional, and tailored ice and snow analyses. The Operations department is committed to the safety of navigation, protection of life and property, and government scientific research.

The Cold War - OverSimplified (Part 2)

And today, we’re talking about the first season of one of the most cerebral animes

“Justice is subject to dispute; might is easily recognized and not disputed.

“Sorry, but I have long since learned as a measure of elementary hygiene to be on guard

Yeah, they’re shit-talking each other by quoting philosophy, and it’s amazing.

Set in a dystopian Japan where everything is controlled by a seemingly omniscient computer,

the Sibyl System, Psycho-Pass asks some pretty hefy questions.

Namely, is it possible for a computer to determine everything about us, The occupation apptitude

test gurantees you a stable life, in which your talents are used to the fullest.

The OAT has created a world where anyone can enjoy art, nature, and peace, and more importantly,

would we want to live in a society without free will?

Attaining a logical society in which various contradictions and inequalities are resolved.

That is indeed, the ultimate happiness sought by the rational human mind.

By achieving an absolutely perfect system, Sibyl has become an existence that embodies

Well, as it happens, this question isn’t just about philosophy, but also science.

So sit down, shut up, and let disembodied Helen explain how the Sibyl System just might

suggest that free will is a neurological and societal illusion in this Wisecrack Edition

on the Science and Philosophy of Pyscho-Pass.

That’s what we do with spoilers, right?

Also, covering ALL the sexy smart stuff in this series would be impossible to do in one

video, so if you wanna hear Jared break it down some more, let us know in the comments.

First, a quick recap for the uninitiated.

In the world of Psycho-Pass, the Sibyl System determines everything about you, from your

job to the likelihood that you’ll commit a crime, all by constantly scanning your brain

This handy-dandy, all-encompassing reading is called your Psycho-Pass, and it’s what

the Sibyl System uses to make all its decisions about you.

”In this era, the System determines everyone’s aptitudes and we all have no choice but to

live by it and be satisfied with only a happiness forced upon us, as we are unable to make our

Enter Akane Tsunemori, a newbie inspector at the Criminal Investigations Department,

It’s kind of like being a cop, except instead of following the law, you’re following the

“But we still don’t know for sure if he ran away.

“The Sibyl System will make that decision.”

And instead of police dogs, you get Enforcers who are basically would-be criminals that

the System has granted limited freedom to in exchange for, well... not a lot.

Now, you might think that a legal system based off a computer scanning your brain is some

You have free will, so you shouldn’t be arrested before you actually commit a crime,

As Psycho-Pass illustrates, it’s not quite that simple.

First, we have to understand what the brain and the decision making process really

Most neuroscientists today think there are two systems in the brain.

The first system is “us” that little voice in our heads, those emotions we feel,

It’s the stuff we’re actually aware of.

When we make a decision, this is the system where we like to think it happens, but that’s

Below this system is another system, a huge lattice work of neurons that controls everything

Importantly, this second system is a black box.

No matter how much armchair philosophizing we do, we can’t penetrate it.

And this is where science of free will comes in.

See, in the 1980’s, Dr. Benjamin Libet conducted a pretty groundbreaking experiment.

He asked subjects to look at a clock, then at a time of their own choosing, flick their

Libet then recorded the electrical impulses from their brain called the readiness

potential and compared it with the time the subjects believed they made the decision

In other words, the decision to flick their wrist happened somewhere in the unconscious

system about half a second before they THOUGHT they made the decision; kind of like thunder

And while Libet’s experiment wasn’t without flaws like how he relied on self-reporting

 it’s important to note that other researchers have born out similar results in experiments

While we can’t say for sure that there’s a causal relationship here, we can say that

on some level, it looks like the decision making process begins in this unconscious

Which makes you wonder: are we really completely in control of the choices we make?

And if we’re not, how can we say they’re ours?

Libet’s experiment goes a long way in making sense of Psycho-Pass’s world.

After all, why would anyone let a computer make preemptive judgements about them, ordering

Well, because a very smart computer like the Sibyl System can have a deep understanding

of the brain’s black box, in a sense knowing us better than we know ourselves.

Hell, the System knows the inner workings of the unconscious mind so well that it can

even identify likely criminals as toddlers.

“I was flagged in a Psycho-Pass test when I was five.

No possibility for rehabilitation through treatment.

In a sense, the relationship between the Sibyl System and its citizens is parallel to the

relationship between the two systems in our brain.

The citizens mull about with all their feelings, thoughts, and seeming choices, while literally

thousands of feet below their feet is a vast network of sensors, processors, and fiber

optic cables all in charge of controlling them.

But if our unconscious mind is affecting our conscious decisions, we have to wonder: what,
