9:50 I have a question about the strategy guide example. If you read the strategy guide or you take tennis classes, you will get better and your partner for the game will get better too with time. This is also a type of perspective we could have on the matter.

Audio is super quiet.

Going to be the annoying guy...is there anyway we could get these in podcast from? On a selfish level I listen to these during dog walks and TH-cam isn't the most mobile friendly app Also Agnes's outfit slays.

i would be honored to have a talk with you Agnes

It was great, I really enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for uploading it. Love your work professor Callard.

This would get much higher viewership with good quality microphones. Great content otherwise

Where does the "two third of corporate culture change initiatives fail" come from?

Wow

It's the little things you do together... that make perfect relationships..the neighbors you annoy together, the children you destroy together...

Because these two Are the married/divorced couple, discussing/philosophising divorce ~ ~ ~ it comes across as a therapy session for their benefit ~ I honestly couldn't watch the entire discussion.

Urban monoculture of mass media ... less of a problem with the Internet.

I believe it's important for philosophy to endure far into the future.

Or are we diversifying ourselves into oblivion?

39.57 Dr. Caplan appears to have a lot of "fun" writing books, teaching at one of those terribly wasteful universities he criticizes, and sitting around talking about ideas. What a rich and wonderful life! Of course, the rest of the masses, the philistines as he calls them, with their high school diplomas, will just have to be content with their boring jobs, following orders, and having lots of kids. My concern is that his libertarian program will be a dreamland for the privileged elites such as himself, and a nightmare for the less fortunate. I am more than a little disappointed that Prof. Callard didn't ask more pointed questions. In the end, I must confess that I found Dr. Caplan's vision of society to be both depressing and dystopian.

In brief, is it an inquiry method? Or discussion method? Or Question -answer method? Or lecture demonstration method?

Based crowd

Kids love to help out and "work" and are naturally curious. This idea that working is bad is bizarre to me. I am a farmer and i have been helping on the farm or working since i was 4 and evey otger farmer has their kids work for them as well. Its great experience and teaches responsibility and work etic very young. I think this idea that people achouldnt work untill they are 22 and graduate with a bachelor's degree is idiotic and in most cases very bad for the kid's. There is a reason why when ever i had another job after college and i mentioned i grew up on a farm they always always hired me since we have such a reputation for having a great work ethic.

Would that not have a converse in that you do not reach the expectation, or is that still considered and how do we establish the expectation.

I am not sure that we are all in this together. Is what I have found to be good for me to be good for anyone else? I am sure that is not true.

Bryan Caplan rockstar?

Daring

Awesome. Reading Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography is what led me to this video. Now time to do a deep dive into that haha

Everything Caplan says strikes me as being right on. What he appears unconcerned about aside from ridiculous curriculum however is the behavioral sink which K-12 schooling has become in which the snowflake kids are being permitted to run amok with no consequences. But he’s a college professor so obviously he doesn’t need to worry about getting fired for rescuing weaklings from the bullies who are preying up them, because college kids don’t typically tear up their classrooms throwing furniture at each other, power slamming weaklings, or inflicting grotesque levels of verbal abuse on staff members. We are setting ourselves up for a massive right wing repression in which although there may not be any meaningful K-12 vocational programs there could instead be an eventual inflation of the juvenile justice system including shipping gang members off to work camps where they are basically enslaved for the purpose of grooming the national forests, for instance, as members of quasi chain gangs.

Interesting. How does this make us better as a civilization? What problem does this fix? Knowing that we do this hundreds of times a day without thinking of it. I have to pay bills what does wanting to avoid falsehoods and not passing judgment or wanting to also pursue truth and therefore believing a little bit of everything have to do with anything? At the end of the day we are imperfect beings that hold perfection as a standard. and the only thing we care about is evidence. Is the evidence there to support a claim and sometimes who is better at creating or presenting evidence in a scenario is all that matters. Not philosophy.

I think this is a mis-reading of Socrates in Phadeo. Those who are preoccupied with the body, associated with the body, are weighed down, and one must shed this preoccupation with the bodily element and have no willing association with it in order to practice philosophy, virtue, moderation to join the company of the gods. (81a-82b). He holds in this passage a soul in the state of detachment from the body makes its way in the afterlife to the invisible, which is like itself. Someone who is transgender seems overly preoccupied with the body, with how the body is perceived. Socrates is saying one should be detached about physical things and focused on the immaterial, rational, conceptual things. This included essences, and there is no way you can get around the fact that Socrates would hold that the essence of a thing, the realm of the forms, is tied to the realm of appearances. While the realm of appearances is a degree away from truth, it is still a derivative of the form. The female body is a derivative of the essence, or form, of a female just as a chair is the appearance of the essence of a chair. For Socrates, transgender claims would be like a chestnut tree that is really an oak tree in its essence, or a shape that appears to be a square but in its essence is really a circle.

01:04:30 I think the real question here is "should school be compulrsory". Mr Caplan talks about kids having jobs alongside school.

Love the bar room banter... Who needs cookies and milk when the conversation is such a warm hug 😅

The young woman at 1:58:00 rules(!) and asks the right questions.

Padraic is not an intellectual person based on what we see in the movie. It goes back though to discussion of how to live a 'good' life that Padraic seems to have a social intelligence in adjusting to his surroundings in a way Colm does not. Insiherin is by any reasonable modern definition a bleak society. The question is, is adjusting your expectations and trying to find joy in what is available or is being oppositional to it the more proper way to live? Most people are probably not as extreme as Colm or Padraic and have varying answers depending on context. Then the way the island is also sheltered from the war is another wrinkle; the island may have limited options but is also safe in a way the modern world.

Hi , I connected to this discussion via NYT regarding I don’t feel the need to travel the world because it’s lead by Tic box media. In some ways you’re more worthy because you’ve traveled? Bullshit . If you think you’re enlightened by a two week holiday wherever you’re a mug. If you travel non stop as a lifestyle good for you but I don’t give a shit ! I don’t feel unworthy because I love my local environment, also who has the privilege of travelling? Think about it the next time someone brags about their travels.

Is drawing attention to something promotion?

11:26 If this is true, it seems to undermine the entire idea of legally enshrining marriage as opposed to just having long-term, romantic relationships. While I generally have a very bleak view of political conservatism, on this particular issue I can't help but agree with a Ronald Reagan quote. "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help' ."

December 2, 2023. I read the essay in the New York Times written by Agnes Callard. I thought it was very good. It reminded me of the speeches at my college graduation, but I won't say how unless someone is interested.

Hm.

Audio slightly improves after 45 minutes!

What happened to the owl statue? i don't see it on the table or in the back ground.🤔

Caplan hits home runs one after the other. Having done graduate level academic work and managed businesses, I cannot agree more with what he says. It is courageous of the host, being a full-time beneficiary of the existing academic structure, to host such a voice. Bravo.

Why the pearls? Interesting that a "cis-woman" who chose to wear them would be regarded as ridiculously old-fashioned and unlikely to be taken seriously as a modern-day philosopher. And then the chosen name "Grace"? Taken like an antidote to maleness. It is impossible to ignore the strong element of play-acting in this Chapelle's persona. When Capelle says the word "rapey" he gives himself away 100%.

Did she say academic hiring tends to be conservative and merit based?? 😂😂😂 she's a comedian 🤣

loving this conversation

As a homeschool mom who has unschooled the sons for more than a decade, I agree with this. Knowing how foolish it is to ask rambunctious boys to sit in a desk and fill in worksheets every day, we sampled widely a large variety of activities and topics. They are very much Renaissance men. And yes, they appreciate Shakespeare and rhetorical devices too! 😉 We do "school" together in the morning, all three the same, and then after lunch they have their time to pursue their own interests.

Silly owl.🦉 There’s no such thing as an immortal soul. I once believed the same until I realized that we are mechanical beings. We are mortal beings made of Flesh and Bone and nothing more. When the mind goes, we go. The soul does not exist. The thing we call the soul is actually just the brain. At this very moment, who's doing the thinking, the brain or the soul? The answer is the brain. If the soul did exist, wouldn’t you agree that the soul would have to be indestructible in order for man’s consciousness to be eternal. How is it then that when we age, we slowly lose our cognitive abilities. As you can see, the so call soul is far from being indestructible. The soul being made of flesh slowly deteriorates. Or should I say the brain. The whole purpose of the soul is to preserve the knowledge of self and the memory of your loved ones. Without memory, there is no recollection of family or the knowledge of self. Without such knowledge, there is no you. The good news is that our atoms will go on to take other forms. You'd be surprised to learn that you were once a bird, a fish, a spider, a fly, even a dinosaur, and among other things. Reason over faith. Yay.😸

Scam-ducation

I want the owl statue on top of the radiator. Name your price. LOl.

I'm no expert on the topic, but it seems to me that chastising the victim is like taking the side of the perpetrator. Also, it seems to me that forgiving one’s enemies is like betraying oneself, one’s resolve. And if someone has wronged a friend, or a family member and you forgive that person, it’s like betraying one’s friend or family member. If forgiveness is reserved for friends as it is for enemies, then it seems to me that an injustice will be committed toward the friend or family member. Certain things cannot be undone. Like murder for example. But such is the Christian doctrine that teaches us to forgive the enemy and betray the friend. Just saying.

Impressive finger gymnastics.🤔
