FURTHER READING
“The so-called Mind-Body problem is one of the greatest and most quietly painful conundrums in philosophy – and more importantly, in everyday life. The problem is rooted in the fact that in the eyes of other people, all of us are automatically and stubbornly associated with our bodies (which includes, of course, our faces). The way we look is the overwhelming factor that dictates how others assess our natures and our characters. Whatever lip service we might pay to less punitive ideologies, in the practical world, who ‘we’ are is taken to be how we look…”

You certainly cover a problem but the "mind body problem" is a specific philosophical problem dealing with consciousness and the physical body: is the mind a physical thing? You should have chosen a different title for the video (not that you didn't cover an important topic but I was expecting something on the actual mind body problem).

I wish people from my school would watch this channel. Everyone would be so much nicer.

I remember my favorite teacher in middle school was my 6th grade literature teacher. He was a skinny guy, & just goofy enough to keep us laughing. one day he heard someone say something mean to another student. Our teacher stopped everything and in the most serious tone told us a story about he himself , and how he was obese for many years. he explained the pain in great detail, the struggle of everyday. He than proceeded to say.
" obviously I lost all the weight and I'm healthy now. but every morning when I look in the mirror I will always see a huge, fat person. Doesn't matter if I weigh 200lbs or 70lbs. I'll always see that fat kid looking back at me." I'll never forget that story .

What's interesting is that for the first time in history we're about to enter an era where technology will allow us to customize what we look like (think cosmetic nanobots, effortless weight loss, skin/eye color choice, etc...) to an extremely high degree. This is already becoming true with designer babies and virtual reality. In fact, technology will start addressing some pretty fundamental physical and existential issues that have been around from the start.
But, when I hear "mind body problem" I tend to think it should refer to something deeper like 'how does an invisible mortal self-conscious "spirit" animate this flesh-meat body?', not something as superficial as "people don't look like they want to".

This is not the Mind Body problem

Maybe character is imposed and not chosen.

These are so relaxing to watch. Instantaneously feel calm after watching them and lifted. Thank you for offering these videos, truly a rewarding experience. :)

I got about 1 min into the vid and felt like what they were saying was wrong. Then with a quick google search confirmed that the mind body problem, in philosophy, refers to something very different....
I like school of life... but I would think that they would at least address this and say that they are dealing with totally different material than the original philosophical idea.
I mean both ideas might be the mind body problem, but they should clarify at the very least.
Also, not to be rude, but this is a much more basic idea than the more complicated one I found first search result on Google.

The body is a reflection of the soul. The noble demeanor becomes evident with noble intentions.

Faces and first impressions are only when one first meets us. After one gets to know another person they judge them not by their physical/outer characteristics but but their inner character.

Can you please talk about psychedelics like DMT and shrooms? I would love to hear a philosophical take on passing through the other side without bashing it. Your mind and body can completely separate and I think this should be discussed in a profound way

Hey School of Life, can you make a video on how to resolve sexual tension between 2 strangers?

I think this problem is complicated by the fact that we are naturally attracted by physical attributes, as well as someone's mind. While it's nice to pretend that the two can be distinct and separate, I think it's probably more accurate to say that mind and body influence each other in profound ways. How we feel affects how we perceive. Our thoughts also influence how we feel. So while it's true that "who we are" is not "what we look like", separating the two is not straightforward. There is a bi-directional influence going on, and that should not be ignored. But perhaps we can become more aware of the influences on our thinking, and perhaps become more rational. For example, we might decide to realise the (potential) weaknesses of physical attraction and look beyond it for something deeper. We might filter our first impressions of someone and instead look behind the actions to see what motivates them, and try to learn more about the "real person" inside them. Then there's the challenge of doing that without coming across as creepy haha. Ah human interaction is so complicated.

This was an astoundingly accurate video portraying the difficulties associated with the seemingly automatic separation of body and mind due to appearance. Thank you for another scrumptious dose of enlightenment, TSoL.

this new episodes are amazing! Your videos had started to seem kind of repetitive to me, like they were always saying the same thing, but I was impressed by the last ones! the friendship one, this one... truly inspiring! keep on the great work!

I think "mind-body problem" more typically refers to the mechanism by which the mind and body interact.
