Sanctuary Cities
Переглядів 9215 годин тому
More at www.philosophytalk.org/shows/sanctuary-cities. In the U.S. there are over 500 sanctuary cities-municipalities that limit their cooperation with the federal government’s immigration law enforcement. Although opponents portray sanctuary cities as besieged by crime, empirical data does not bear out such claims. But what actually justifies sanctuary policies in the first place? Do appeals t...

Authority and Resistance
Переглядів 65День тому
More at www.philosophytalk.org/shows/authority-and-resistance. Authority can refer to people or institutions that have the political power to make decisions, give orders, and enforce rules. It can also refer to a certain kind of expertise or knowledge that we might defer to. Sometimes we respect authority, and sometimes we resist it or even revolt against it. But where exactly does authority co...

Why Trust Science
Переглядів 35День тому
More at www.philosophytalk.org/shows/why-trust-science. According to a recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, the number of Americans who trust in science is steadily declining. While politicization is partly to blame, another reason may be that the “truths” of science seem to shift endlessly. So why should we trust science? Is it still reliable, even if it doesn’t seem to settle o...

The Philosophical Worlds of Borges

More at www.philosophytalk.org/shows/philosophical-worlds-borges. Argentinian writer Jorge Luís Borges wrote some of the world’s most brilliant, mind-bending, and philosophical stories. Drawing on sources from Europe, India, China, and Persia, these stories tackled topics like time, reality, selfhood, and art. Yet Borges also said "I don’t think ideas are important." So what can we get out of p...

Montaigne and the Art of the Essay
Переглядів 7614 днів тому
More at www.philosophytalk.org/shows/montaigne-and-art-essay. French thinker Michel de Montaigne invented a whole new genre in which to do philosophy: the essay. But in his use of that form, Montaigne repeatedly digresses and contradicts himself. So why did he think the essay was a good medium for philosophy? What impact did Montaigne’s invention have on his own philosophical work, and on the c...

    🙄There's nothing more useless than an activist. If you're so concerned about the environment why don't you get a degree in chemistry or physics or engineering and come up with viable alternatives so people don't have to use these environmetally destructive technologies? But of course not because that takes hard work and effort. There's a lot of pesky math and not so much impotent running of the mouth and pointless virtue signaling.

    comedy just has to be funny . . . and funny depends on the audience . . . and, audiences vary from place to place but, some humor is more universal than other; some jokes hit with broader audiences . . . the most successful of comics are likely those, meaning there's likely a correlation between successful comics and the universality or breadth of their comedy . . . 👀

    These wealthy white guys sit around the table trying to decipher what is wrong while the underlying narrative of materialism does all the damage. Shallow cultures don't have far to sink. Just read the 1959 essay by Paul Tillich, The lost dimension in religion, and it lays it out quite well.

    We're told that as AI learns, it will evolve and improve itself at an exponential rate. If that is true, the main thing holding it back is the materials to create new technology, i.e metals, plastics etc etc, which have to be mined, refined and worked, to create machines. Wouldn't it be much more efficient if AI could recreate itself using proteins, amino acids, and a string of code, to direct self building, self replicating "machines". What I'm saying is, are we biological machines? Could DNA and biology itself, be the idea of an "artificial" intelligence, as it looked for news ways to improve on itself? We create machines inspired by biology, but is biology the concept of a "machine"? Then, to take it one step further, did a higher AI actually even build the biological machines, or is this reality all just one of many test simulations/scenarios that a higher AI is running through, in its processor, as it figures out which would be the most efficient and effective way to proceed?

    Forcing the innocent to pay nonvictims for something that happened to neither of them is not reparations. Government is a manufactured tool. Holding those presently in government responsible for the actions of those in government in the past is like holding the present owner of a used car responsible for the traffic violations of a previous owner.

      Ok let’s exclude slavery. How about Jim Crow? -Exclusion from the Homestead Act - Exclusion from the GI Bill - Destruction of black cities- Tulsa, Rosewood, Elaine, Oscarville - Terrorism- KKK, Lynching, unaliving blk leaders, blowing up churches - Highway Commission Act/ Eminent Domain - Reaganomics and Iran Contra/ Dumping drugs in the community Mass Incarceration - Denial of FHA loans I have about seven more things I could list here. It’s not just about slavery. You people need to learn your history and address your deep-seated hatred for the black race. We have found the the money and moral compass to pay other groups reparations, some of whom were not even discriminated against on American soil. Was it fair that black folks taxes went to paying those people? You all are hypocrites. I wish you would just tell the truth and say you don’t want to pay it because you just despise us, vs acting like our claims are invalid or unfair.

    Brownie Recipe: INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and HOT 1 tablespoon cooking oil, (olive oil or coconut oil are fine) 1 1/8 cup superfine sugar, (caster sugar or white granulated sugar)* 2 large eggs 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup all purpose (or plain) flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 teaspoon salt INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking oil spray. Line with parchment paper (or baking paper); set aside. Combine hot melted butter, oil and sugar together in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk well for about a minute. Add the eggs and vanilla; beat until lighter in colour (another minute). Sift in flour, cocoa powder and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until JUST combined (do NOT over beat as doing so well affect the texture of your brownies). Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top out evenly. (OPTIONAL: Top with chocolate chunks or chocolate chips.) Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centre of the brownies in the pan no longer jiggles and is just set to the touch (the brownies will keep baking in the hot pan out of the oven). If testing with a toothpick, the toothpick should come out dirty for fudge-textured brownies. Remove and allow to cool to room temperature before slicing into 16 brownies. OPTIONAL ADD INS: Crushed walnuts, peanuts, almonds, pecans, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, chocolate chunks, dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, etc)
