PERCEPTION Ways of understanding or being aware of sensory information and reality Five senses, Sixth sense Physiological constraints (biology) Cognitive constraints (embodied) Illusions, role of memory, emotions, blind sight Limits of logical approaches Neuroscience Explosion (FMRI, molecular biology, and computers

WAYS TO DECIDE Authority Revelation Instinct Intuition Reason Psyche

How Do We Know We Know Feeling or Intellect – Water is wet – = 4 – Capgras Syndrome – E=MxC Squared – Atoms – Quarks – Quantum Theory – God

AUTHORITY Parents Roles (teacher, coach, religious leaders) Laws Uniforms and Social cues (norms) Learned vs. instinctual

REVELATION Direct experience via spirit contact Indirect experience through senses Belief independent of natural phenomena Is there a religion gene or instinct? Has religion evolved? Temporal lobe seizures (St Theresa) Persinger’s deep brain stimulation

INSTINCT Built in or hard wired Inherited Not learned Considered animalistic

Intuition Unconscious or preconscious Effortless and fast Adaptive based valuation, not precise Association based, like a metaphor, Automatic, not flexible Practice (muscle memory) Learned

Reason Conscious Takes Effort Slow Rule based like logic Flexible Can be practiced but takes a long time Can not reliably predict future as rules based on the past (stock market)

PSYCHE Psychodynamic (Freud, Jung, Adler, Klein etc) Psychophysiologic (conditioning, aversion, hypnosis, CBT, addiction, etc) Abnormalities of cognition or perception Combinations

FREE WILL Determinism Agency Combination Neuro-ethics and neuro- jurisprudence RESPONSIBILITY

Decision Defects Delusion (hallucination) Illusion ( perceptual constraints) OCD (can’t be sure) Decision influences (non conscious effects, loss aversion, relativity) Wrong premise (bad information) Wrong logic (faulty thinking) Wrong guess (intuition fails) Compulsion ( determined by instinct) Misled

DECISION MAKING How do we know the basis of any given decision or conclusion? Are decisions made consciously, unconsciously, both? Can we change our minds? Value of rational discourse vs. appeal to un or preconscious? Can we protect ourselves?
