Thousands of years ago Plato proposed that all Knowledge was remembering Of course, we don't believe that today Because we believe we gather knowledge as a Consequences of contact with the world But you'll see that the knowledge That I'm gonna share with you will strike a Deep chord of remembering And it's because everything that you've done Throughout your life is in one Way or anothеr predicated on what I'm Going to tell you today I'm gonna dеmonstrate this in a Peculiar way, I think Because I'm gonna start by Telling you a story And the reason I'm going to do That is because models of the World that include phenomenon Like consciousness, and Emotions, and motivations, and actions And interaction are generally portrayed Formally in stories And not in scientific theories And it does turn out to Be the stories themselves have An identifiable structure even a grammar That makes them comprehensible Furthermore, it turns out that Even the simplest stories Especially if they're elegantly constructed Have an unbelievably profound Underlying meaning underlying meaning Unbelievable profound underlying meaning And you can frequently see this Most particularly in children's stories I remember I showed my son when He was four years old, the Disney movie "Pinocchio, " which is on the surface of It is a very strange tale Right? It's a wooden puppet Someday, I'm gonna be a real boy Who wants to become real So he has to rescue his father From the belly of a whale Whale or no whale I'm gonna find my father and Rescue him i'm gonna go to him, Jimmy Goodbye "Pinocchio" is a deep, deep story Father, I'm gonna save you It has echoes that go back three or 4 000 years to the earliest Stories that we know And it's so rich with information The a child Can watch it over, and over, and over And over (Over, and over, and over, and over) I think my son watched "Pinocchio" 30 times But why? Well, it's either because the Child can't tell The difference between fantasy and reality Or it's because there's something To those stories that's Much more potent than we Actually consciously understand You'll find that in the top 10 Highest grossing movies of all time Are four Disney movies that Are animated fairytales Essentially retelling a mythological stories They strike a deep cord Why? (Why?) Underlying meaning underlying meaning Unbelievable profound underlying meaning Well, Shakespeare was of course The great literary figure He said it perhaps better than anyone Else has, which is not surprising 'cause he said many things better Than anyone else has He said, "All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely players They have their exit's and their entrances And one man in his time plays many parts" Yeah! And so following from that You can imagine that a story is no More about the props in the world Than a play that you go see as About the props on the stage The dramas is about the manner In which people actually exist The emotions that they feel The motivational states they encounter The problems they have to solve when They interact with each other And the play's the thing From that particular perspective In which we can Capture those aspects of our experience That are not only real But essentially humans essentially human Underlying meaning underlying meaning Unbelievably profound underlying meaning All the world's a stage and all The men and women merely players They have their exit's and Their entrances and one Man in his time plays many parts All the world's a stage and all The men and women merely players They have their exit's and Their entrances and one Man in his time plays many parts All the world's a stage and all The men and women merely players They have their exit's and Their entrances and one Man in his time plays many parts
