That was a nice thing to get.

I still go through that in terms of the stresses and pressure of the job but management just feels right.

It does feel like something to be wrong it feels like being right.

But he made me feel I was telling him a fabulous story.

I always felt good with Dick Feynman.

You feel good when you do something right, you feel bad when you do something wrong.

So it probably even feels good for the insect, as well as looking good.

Cochrane understood that uncertainty, that fallibility, that being challenged, they hurt.

And we think that the good life is actually looking good that's most important of all looking good, feeling good and having the goods.

One reason, actually, has to do with a feeling of being wrong.

But just being wrong doesn't feel like anything.

If that belief turns out to be mistaken, it will make a difference.

So as you can see, We Feel Fine uses a technique that I call passive observation.

We see that better is the most frequent feeling right now, followed by good, bad, guilty, right, down, sick and so on.

So we kind of liked that.

You know, we're already wrong, we're already in trouble, but we feel like we're on solid ground.

So, the good life is not about looking good, feeling good or having the goods it's about being good and doing good.

I think Yamaha does a really good job of teaching us how to compose.

Realizing you're wrong can feel like all of that and a lot of other things, right?

And I'll show you a glimpse of how this information is then visualized. So this is We Feel Fine.

And it is out of this and out of this tight coupling between the brain stem and the body that I believe and I could be wrong, but I don't think I am that you generate this mapping of the body that provides the grounding for the self and that comes in the form of feelings primordial feelings, by the way.

It's a good question. How do you feel about how you spend your time each day?

But the nice thing about visual illusion is we can easily demonstrate mistakes.

I'm not feeling well.

I don't feel well.

I feel unwell.

I don't think he was right.

There is no way for us not to see this illusion.

Because in visual illusions we can easily demonstrate the mistakes in cognitive illusion it's much, much harder to demonstrate to people the mistakes.

And I want to start by giving you some examples of visual illusion as a metaphor for rationality.

So let me ask you guys something or actually, let me ask you guys something, because you're right here How does it feel emotionally how does it feel to be wrong?

They'd given me a large grant when I was an academician for the study of felony drunken drivers, and I thought I had a pretty good track record, and by the time I had spent half an hour talking about play, it was obvious that they were not did not feel that play was serious.

Right? It's impossible to overcome this sense that this is indeed longer.

Make no mistake.

Eight didn't work. At nine, I noticed and it's wonderful that I could notice anything I noticed a change. And at 10, I noticed a real change.

I feel curiosity, and I feel wonder, but at times I have also felt despair.

One project that explores these ideas, which was made about a year ago, is a piece called We Feel Fine.

When Leon Rozenblit and I uncovered the illusion and its specificity, we ran an extensive series of studies exploring why explanatory understanding is so vulnerable to a false sense of knowing. All of the factors that we identified are less influential for facts, procedures, and narratives.

I want you to think about illusion as a metaphor.

So the goal here is to achieve sentience in machines, and not just sentience, but empathy.

Bingo. You'd think you're in air, until a fish swims by.

I feel kind of bad about that.

I'm not feeling that hungry yet.

And what you can do oops, I didn't mean to do that what you can do is actually feed back to the user the feeling of the physical properties.

Now you may reason that we have one to perceive the world or to think, and that's completely wrong.
