is using in an abstract way the idea of diagonalization. It was really the start of so many other observations that were made, including Russell's paradox and the halting problem and the recursion theorem, and so many other principles are using diagonalization at their core. So... - Can we just step back a little bit?
I am so excited to introduce today's guest, Russell Foster. Russell Foster is a professor of circadian neuroscience. He is the head of Oxford's Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology.
and gives us guidance on how to use this knowledge to optimize our health. Russell shows us that the quality of our consciousness is largely defined by the quality of our sleep. His book is full of examples on how we can leverage our body clocks, the importance of light exposure, how to time our meals
And as Russell says, it gives us the opportunity to view the world that we live in with a greater sense of wonder and curiosity. Russell, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Talks at Google. Oh, Kaitlyn, what a fantastic introduction.
It's also worth bearing in mind that stress as a result of Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Disruption affects the immune response. Russell, the work that you do is outstanding.
And I'll let him speak now. Russell. Well there's the why, and then there's the how. So the why is because when I read the script, the story touched me, the characters touched me,
Oh, here he is. Russell. I'm very keen on Russell. He's been forgotten recently, but he's coming back I hope.
I'm not saying other people are better, but. Russell again. "We now realize," I'm quoting, "that we know nothing of the intrinsic quality of physical phenomena except when they happen to be sensations, and that therefore, there is no reason to be surprised that some are sensations." So there's a very explicit endorsement of the claim that the qualitative what it is like is literally physical.
That's why I'm so proud to be from the Bay, and to have had my roots in Silicon Valley, because things that are happening in this place Russell, Aimee, some quick last thoughts.
So you make the bet and it doesn't work out for you. Russell Wilson passes the ball, and the ball is intercepted pretty famously, and boom.
Jeez. But if you can do a cross-section of the ocean out there, you'd realize that there's these little 30-foot waves, but the ocean, in reality, Russell, you're traveling all over the world.
So you might come up with Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Kant, Leibniz, Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein, right? These are all names that are presumably known to all of you. If not, you can google them.

Russell, Jr. In "The Train to Crystal City," you'll encounter the secret history of an American internment camp in Crystal City, Texas, where men of German, Japanese, and Italian descent and their families, many of whom were US citizens, were ripped from their homes across the United States and Latin America
And in the pilot episode, as simple as the guys coming out of a restaurant and they ask for their car from vallet-- now Russell, the black guy, has driven-- and it's a nice Porsche that pulls up and the valet immediately gives the keys to Mitch. And Mitch goes, why did you give the keys to me?
XY and a guy named uh Russell with his MIT buddies programmed a game called space war and I played this game was mesmerized hooked
Please join me in welcoming Russell Banks today. Russell Banks: Thanks, Shannon. It's a pleasure and of interest to me to be here and speak with you guys. It's not what I would call a regular stop on a book tour talking to Google and talk to employees at Google. I'm happy to do it. It's kind of a nice break from the usual
Female presenter: That'd be great. Russell: Somewhere in there. Okay. The woman whose show Good Morning, Miami -- was right it is set in Miami. Although it's not called Miami. It's called Calusa. And also involves the Everglades and they're not called the Everglades.
was in some grade school, we had an iguana. We all had to take turns taking care of it. That was a long time ago. But it was an experience. Russell: They're actually quite unthreatening beasts and passive and sweet. And they're actually fairly intelligent. They do engage human beings pretty easily. They're vegetarians. But they look monstrous. They strike fear into the hearts of people when they see them. Anyhow.
Male #1: When I saw that, I thought it was a bit search. Russell: She sits down in front of one -- the computers -- and does a quick Google search under "convicted sex offenders." and up pops the National Sex Offender Registry which links straight to www.familywatchdog.us. The Kid stands in a forward tilt behind her shifting his weight from one foot to the other. He thinks he should run now, get out of here fast
entertain, I'd be delighted. Yes >> Male #2: Is the anklet locked on to the person's leg so it can't be moved? Russell: Right. And you have to keep the battery charged. Because you're monitored, you know. Thanks to Google technology. And you're basically you break parole if you don't keep yourself monitored. You could
be sent back to jail >>Male #2: Can it be stipulated beyond parole? Russell: You mean the anklet? >>Male #2: Yeah? Russell: There are places where legislators are trying to make it a life time form of surveillance, yes. And no -- I mean there are challenges,
Russell: You mean the anklet? >>Male #2: Yeah? Russell: There are places where legislators are trying to make it a life time form of surveillance, yes. And no -- I mean there are challenges, you know, to the constitutional rights of people regarding the sentencing of sex offenders. In all
Male #3: I think just a follow up. I think in Italy, they punish the sex offenders by reelecting them. Russell: Yeah, to higher office. >>Male #3: I want to ask what your writing process is like. How do you go about crafting a significant novel? >> Russell: Well, umm -- it varies somewhat of course from book to book. In this case, when I was

and to what degree can they center these other stories that are being buffed out and help tell those stories instead of occupying the spotlight with their own stories. So Russell, when you're teaching Asian-Americans, that is, you're talking to students about this tension as well, what are some of the stories that resonate with them about the ways Asians and Asian-Americans have come together as a coalition to be able to do things like address injustice

"Twin Peaks" is airing again 25 years later on Sunday. And Russell has been more instrumental in bringing the effects of meditation to half a million kids, and women, and children who are victims of sexual assault and also veterans. When we talk about transcendental meditation, to answer your question-- how many people here have tried some form of meditation?
Jeez. But if you can do a cross-section of the ocean out there, you'd realize that there's these little 30-foot waves, but the ocean, in reality, When Russell and I were ready to go out here, just talk, there's some anxiety.
Bertrand Russell got it right.
Bertrand Russell liked to emphasize it.
I'm going to stand up for it. And Russell's going, dude, it's not that serious. It's a valet stand, it's not Selma, let's just go and get in the car.
So he instills that in the writing of our Mitch character, and it's really fun to have that kind of guy opposite somebody like Russell, who has fun pushing his white guilt buttons every chance that he gets. I agree. There's a scene where they listen to, I think, a Jay-Z song in the car, and there's a "n" word that comes up
