If knowledge is infinite , as stupidity and the universe , then there will be infinite question for every answer you find out . On the other hand, stupidity is sometimes , the need to create a God on something not explained by observation ( science ) , about the infinity of the universe , there is doubts about it .

Fundamental human is tricky.
Self awareness can be dangerous, like a crack in the Matrix.. acting is ironic, it’s like putting ‘you’ in a box and giving yourself permission to explore being ‘another’.
Sounds a bit like multiple personality… But if you are strong enough, would be very freeing, very empowering.
For myself, I would unravel I’m sure. I can barely cope with just being ‘me’.

10:27 Good neuroscientist, AI is just a simulation, right.
But for most ppl the expression of personality is easily replicable by an algorithm. People aren’t that complex, base desires are universal & the assumption of uniqueness is a delusion.

Very interesting discussion. 👍👌
It’s really challenging for an actor to be itself, as a common human being showing emotions, experiences and expressing feelings. Most of the time they are playing different characters in multiple projects at a time, means playing with creativity and experimenting own psychology on and off. 🧠🔬🧪🧘♀️

Im loving this conversation. Can we have a part two?
Additionally, I now hold the belief that everyone going into acting should have hypnotherapy done with a loved one present to train the mind to respond to a trigger that will help them disassociate from their characters.
Much love to you all!

Yara revealed a vibrant and curious mind towards the end, choosing to ask a relevant and significant question rather than allowing time to flow into whatever outro set on the Ted stage —

Choose Jesus and be free. People don’t lie when they say Jesus has freed them from the shackles of addiction, depression, laziness etc. Jesus is a miracle worker. Oftentimes, we try so hard to make things right or to improve by our own strength and just fail. Jesus christ carries our burdens; he allows us to really be transformed and find true satisfaction in our lives. Choose Jesus and be free! Choose Jesus and be happy! He sacrificed his life for us and works for our every good! By following Jesus, I know that everything that happens in my life is worked by God for my own development and growth. No matter how much hardship I may go through, I have hope that God’s glory will be revealed in me. Please accept this gift! God is holding his hand out to you, so take hold of it!

This is interesting. I am actually an actress who is now studying psychology and psychophysiology. I have a very different process to Yara. My acting process involves separating the way I label my relationship with the other characters (this informs my chatacters unconscious needs), and defining what I consciously want to achieve in the conversation. With this, it creates a character who is very different from who I am, who I don’t carry home with me when I leave the set or the theatre. But it also doesn’t involve me needing to work hard at pretending because once the cognitive rules are set, I don’t need to pretend. I know what I want to acheive as that character in that scene, and this delivers the story for the audience.
