    Perhaps in Sabine's case that was true. However, there are many reasons why people get jobs in academia. It may simply be that the other candidates had different qualifications or experiences, or, are better known. It is not always a simple matter of discrimination. I would say in most cases today a woman would be employed over a man, especially a white male. "Social pressure" is too soft to use as a description for theses social realities. A different situation exists: One may really have to explain why the woman candidate is not chosen in many cases. People are looking out for their own jobs. In any event, there are many women in high positions in academia, and there are many inequities such as health care options for adjuncts. Do women play a part in theses academic equities today, since they comprise such a large proportion of the high level positions? I can remember sitting in a faculty room with a lady with a Masters from MIT, and she was not offered an academic position from another woman who was currently the department head. Sometimes people don't want to be outshined. In philosophy, one must always be skeptical: I would not jump to a quick PC answer. Thank you for the channel.

    Dear Vlasta and Raul, did you see my comment on Sabine's video? I put it hear again, because I did introduce what I did call the UNIVERSAL SOUNDHELIX at the Philipps-University-Marburg already in 2011! I was accused of sexual intimidation by a young teacher who did this for a professor! Here my comment: Dear Sabine, what a story! But I can comfort you. In 2010 I rediscovered a universal pattern in the shifting of sounds. This had already been done by the personal physician of Emperor Charles V., but he was declared crazy. However, he got his theory from his mother, a midwife. No one believed this Goropius Becanus with the exception of Simon Stevin. In 2020, researchers wrote a book about Stevin in which they pretended that it was not the midwife, not Becanus, but Stevin who came up with the idea that we could retrieve hidden knowledge with this universal language pattern. Countless university professors made my life miserable about this sensational rediscovery for the sole reason of being able to show off this research of prehistoric midwives. That research is mainly in the field of natural sciences, your field, where men completely ignore us women, but precisely because women - as it turns out - are more competent. It took men in particular about ten years to copy my research for the sole purpose of gaining status and making money. Last week my homepage on ResearchGate was removed for the second time out of fear that it would become known that the majority of male natural scientists would be exposed as plagiarists. So, Sabine, console yourself, because you have stood your ground among all these terribly vain and jealous menfolk with a few exceptions like a Roger Penrose and actually also a Harald Lesch although he is also an insider who is aware that it is for the the ideas of the "White Women from the Lost Millennium" (The Age of Sage) concern the discovery of hidden knowledge through the universally valid sound pattern (klankhelix, Lauthelix, soundhelix). In Dutch, the color WIT that helixes in WITCH is a reference to Dutch HEKS, who were burned alive or buried centuries ago, solely because they had invented the MA-the-MA-tics alias the art of mama's, because they derived their name to the HEXAGRAM. That is why men have cursed women in the Torah, the Bible and the Koran, because woman is synonymous with devil. This devil was called LUCIFER. Do you see it? Lu-Cifer literally says HET CIJFER (the number)! Mach weiter mit gehobener Kopf weil du viele Frauen unterstützen kannst sich QUERR zu stellen gegen die Unterdrückung der Frauen an Universitäten und Hochschulen. Ich wurde sogar von sexueller Belästigung beschuldigt, damit man mich fristlos entlassen konnte und 'man' sich mit meiner Forschungsergebnisse davon machen konnte. Widerlich. Dann wurde ich auch noch vor Gericht unzurechnungsfähig erklärt. Ich sollte mit Zwangmedizin in einer geschlossenen Anstalt eingesperrt werden. Elternbesuch verboten. So gehen Männer an Universitäten immer noch mit ihren weiblichen Kollegen um! Zum Glück gab es einen Whistlerblower: Markus Kühbacher. Er beschuldigte die Professoren der Philipps-Universität-Marburg von VERTUSCHUNG meiner Forschungsergebnisse. Es gibt also auch noch anständige Männer!

    That Brian Eno bit was fantastic (highly recommend his music btw haha). As an undergrad upperclassman at a tiny liberal arts school in a shabby little town, I’ve never really found any in-person “scenes” to get involved in. There’s so many I *could* get into, but I’ve never been in the right place at the right time, and I guess I never realized how much I withdrew from the world during COVID…and sort of just stayed that way. As an introverted person, I actually thrived during the pandemic at first, but I guess I’m finally realizing just how solipsistic my academic and creative pursuits have become since then. Simon gives great advice. I’ll have to check out his Heidegger lectures. Do you know about his wife, Jamieson Webster? I’ve dipped my toe into her psychoanalytic work, and it’s pretty outstanding. (I hope they’re still together or I’ll be pretty embarrassed about writing this lol)

    @3:50 maybe, maybe science is "the best we've got". But you also need to consider in modern times with so many advances and incredible expertise _most_ of what passes for "science" is received knowledge, so the source is an authority, not _scientific _*_science_* per se. Which implies there is a spiritual component that is necessary, since one must be able to trust the authority, without the quality of trust there is corrosion and a blight on science. The "best we've got" is, imho, the spiritual (love, compassion, kindness, honesty, wisdom, justice, &c). Science is the greatest complement to a spiritual susceptibility.

      Re-ligion (from the latin religare) means to re-unite. The thing is, a great deal of the disunity (us vs them or me/my soul vs the world), separation (good vs evil), self-relation (using the terms from the video, or how do I believe a god perceives me and therefore how should I become a vigilante of myself), discomfort and guilt that give rise to the desire for reunification and the need for religion itself, is produced by religions themselves. And this round trip is a great business model, as well as a great tool for political control. At the end, by joining a religion, it's very easy to end up idolising the means for re-unification while perpetuating and even worsening the divisions. Or like the zen masters like to say: don't be enthralled by the finger that points to the moon.

      The other thing is, no matter what you do, believe, think or say, pursuing unification is destined to fail. Once you understand that duality is an illusion created by the mind, it becomes clear that there's nothing real to address. Any search or pursuit only feeds the illusion. There's nothing real that is broken, nothing to re-unite, nothing missing, nothing to do, no one in control, and the world becomes a living paradox.

    Godel expresses wff's in odd numbers every number is prime relative to its own base n = n(n/n)=n(1_n) (primes do not include division by other numbers) Goldbach's Conjecture "every even number is the sum of two primes" n + n = 2n Godel's expression does not include even numbers in his defintion of wff's - they are therefore "undecidable" (o + e) = o is always odd so is undecidable because of the existence of even numbers (e+e) = e (o and e are sets of numbers). Note that the product of differing powers of prime numbers is zero, since the graphs of x^m and x^n only intersect at x = 0 so (x^n)(x^m) = 0. (the reason powers form a basis in polynomial space). Proof of Fermat"s Theorem for Village Idiots c = a + b c^n = [a^n + b^n] + f(a,b,n) (Binomial Expansion) c^n = a^n + b^n iff f(a,b,n) = 0 f(a,b,n) <> 0 c^n <> a^n + b^n QED Pythgoras is wrong, Fermat is correct even for n = 2. Someone go tell the physicists (Especially Einstein and Pauli) and also for multinomials (tell the cosmetologists..) (Hint: Wiles had to use modular functions, which are only defined on the positive half of the complex plane.) there are no negative numbers: -c= a-b, b>a iff b-c=a, a >0, a-a = 0, a=a if there are no negative numbers, there are no square roots of negative numbers. The ""complex" plane is affine to the real plane (1^2 <> 1, sqr(1^2) = 1 <> 2qr(1) (Russsell's Paradox; a number can't both multiply and not multiply itself). more on this on the physicsdiscussionforum (dot org)

    Omg. According to Thagards wiki article and the full interview, he is supposed to be strongly influenced by pragmatism and Peirce. It's hilarious and shows how people from cognitive science often lack competence in basics of information theory and statistcs in general, which is nothing else than a realisation of abductive inference (basically since conditional probability / Bayes rule says nothing else in the form of hypothesis testing). Thagard is a very good example of typical hegemonic relativism and gate-keeping strategies in philosophy and science, a non-explanatory tirade that just covers opinion (relevance theory by Sperber / Wilson is of the same kind, to give another example). As a student I am more and more disgusted that a rather privileged crowd of academics are more occupied in performing a kind of habitus, for which they constantly asks for confirmation, instead of providing transparent argumentation... I am angry at this not because he is critizing Friston or so, but apparently he seems to actual have the tools to understand something he calls bogous (again, since he writes about abductive reasoning etc., which is what the FEP represents; same fallacy in relevance theory - mere gate-keeping, since his coherence concept appears to not differ much or at all conceptually from what active inference or the FEP says - that is what is bogous). The same attitude can be found in stats: people that can't properly define and explain p-values, but give you a lecture in p-hacking etc. Academics is rotting away in attitudes of pseudo-differentiation and habitus approval... I also like his desciption of Bayes and its boundaries, after talking about abduction, which in my opinion represents very well the problems which a human has, trying to perform inference via mere abductive inference (which at the end just means: every inference we make is probabilistic, as it just represents the inferential modality of contingency of inference, since we do not have absolute knowledge, where every inference can be represented as necessity modally (either 0 or 1, not in between))...

    I don't appreciate the view of LGBT-people as the inherent "other" of Christianity. I'm queer and i'm christian and it is very tiring to be cast out of the faith, on the one side by vile transphobes and on the other side by paternalistic, well-meaning people treating you like an immature idiot. Discovering the faith was indeed a sad day for me in retrospect. Why is it not even worth a thought to consider transidentity or different sexual orientations as not inherently sinful? Universalism was exiting in the beginning for me, but now it shows itself to be just a lazy way to delay justice into the infinite.

      Beautifully put! I may have misspoken in the podcast, as I, too, am wrestling with these issues. And one thing I'd hate to do is to patronise LGBT+ people, as I see this a lot from the liberal left, and as a leftist, it's something I despise. In some sense, I resonate with Universalism because, in a way, we're all the "other" in Christianity. The radical act for the Christian is fully loving the Other, the neighbour, in their (and our) Otherness, as Kierkegaard puts it so well.

      @derpfaddesweisen Місяць тому

      @@RahulSam I think the distinction gets lost between the "other" and the "othered." Universalism resonates with me as well, but it rests on the assumption of a peaceful ontology, a view i can't hold. Being queer means to be born into the land of the enemy (tbh, this might not be the case to that extent in more liberal regions than mine). The community you have to find is one build on identities which are essentially violently imposed and not just the "other" on an individual, but on a collective level as well. It is an artificial community that is sustained by violence and agitation from outside and shared trauma on the inside. There is no peaceful societal ontology that brings us forth organically and no reconciliation between those subsystems. I was a big fan of David Bentley Hart and Graham Ward for a long time, but i assume that their theology only holds up from the viewpoint of someone who has a place he can call home. For the uprooted modern subject that lacks any organic community, the ontology of peace becomes a great leap of faith with very few arguments in its favour.

    Capitalism isn't an ideology, its an economic susyem. You dont need to create capitalism, you just need to protect individual property rights and enforce contracts (you need to ensure that people honour agreementa they've made with one another) and what we call capitalism emerges naturally once those conditions are established. A set of ideas are needed in ordee to create the conditions that allow capotalism to emerge but capitalism in its self is notna set of idras, its an observable phenomena. Some people might have ideas about capitalism but that doesn't make capitalism an ideology (theyre usially actually talking about commodification, which is something that can happen in the minds of people who live in capitalist, or socialist economies. Cronyism isn't capitalism either neither is corporatism).

I might work at a nature center when I get out of school-I’m definitely qualified. I just don’t want to turn the time I spend outside into a number crunching exercise for the rest of my life-that was a big part of it, too. And any decently stable environmental job you’re going to find these days would be teaching at a college (where you’d fall victim to the “publish or perish” thing), or maybe working for some big corporation (doing pH tests in their drainage basins and whatnot). All told, I just felt increasingly uncomfortable in my environmental classes, seeing what they were setting me up for…not to mention shoving “green capitalism” down our throats, etc. etc. Regarding ecology books-I think I recommended “The Spell of the Sensuous” by David Abram to you once before. I haven’t gotten through the whole thing, but it explores an intersection between the phenomenology of perception, indigenous spirituality, slight-of-hand magic tricks, and how we relate to ecosystems. I’ve also heard good things about the book “Braiding Sweet Grass.” I’ve heard their arguments described as “scientific animism,” which sounds a little wacky offhand, I’ll admit. Though I can’t speak for the latter book, the former does a beautiful job of delineating its general premises, and I think has a lot to offer. (It’s not just obscurantist new-age mysticism-Abram got his PhD studying phenomenology and environmental philosophy, and his arguments are solid.) Honestly, I’d also really recommend just getting some field guides and familiarizing yourself with some species around you, if you’re interested in that kind of thing. Maybe in your yard, or on hiking trails. That’s how I got into this stuff-when I was a kid, I just constantly flipped through my dad’s bird guide, and absorbed all the species names like a sponge :) Migration season is about to kick in and I’m excited

    ADHD is a neurological, genetic, inherited, "neurotype". It is extremely real; one does not simply develop ADHD later in life. I have "ADHD", always have, it isn't cool, it isn't not cool, it is what it is. It doesn't come from wanting to "optimise". Because of an inability to regulate attention, the ADHD brain is wired in a less sequential fashion. I.e. big picture thinking and connection, is favoured over details or an ability to follow details. People with ADHD, when moving into adulthood, do have a need for divergent sources of stimulation, i.e. entrepreneurism is very attractive to the ADHD mind. Such a stance, is delivered through not being told what to do or stay in one place (as it is uncomfortable). Being in a "CEO" position provides many small novel problems to be constantly handled VS. Detailed sequential iterations of solidified positions in the workplace. Please don't confuse the modern person lacking attention due to technological addiction and a neurological divergence. Such confusion is moving backwards in a lack of understanding ADHD.

    If I didn't oversee something, you code to check for null @15:30 only works for Null objects or objects, where a == is sufficient. <pre> class MyType { public boolean equals (Object other) { if (! (other instanceof MyType mt)) return false; else return this == mt; } } MyType mt1 = new MyType (); MyType mt2 = new MyType (); mt1 == mt2; mt1.equals (mt2); </pre> This (equivalent) code returns false for both comparisons, the one with equals and the one with ==. In general I think it is a very bad idea to ask a LLM to produce code, unless you do exhaustive tests on the results. These LLMs generate new code from lots of old code they have seen, but they remix this code in unpredictable ways. On the baseline, they don't understand anything from programming or the real world, they only produce output which looks as if.

    At 12:30 you're wrong when talking about Strings. The s1.equals (s3) does not use the definition of equals as given in the class Object. If it did, it would obviously return s1.equals (s3) as false since it would use the most restrictive interpretation of equals as you just cited about 3 minutes ago, which is s1 == s3. Instead, equals is overriden in the class String and this method is called and it DOES a content comparison, not a memory address comparison as the default method in Object does. I guess you did understand this, but got confused while explaining it. @22:00 you say, that there is never the desire to compare 2 regular expressions for equivalence. Well, given you are a teacher for regular expressons and pupil may submit their regex to solve a quest in an exam, it would be nice to have a proven solution and to automatically compare the solutions, given by the pupils, whether they are equivalent. I guess there are only few things which would be more useful than such equal method. But I don't think there is a reliable way to write such an equal method. It seems to me, that you would need to be able to solve the halting problem first. ;)

When it comes to differences here its probably going to be on emphasis rather than blatant error. At least, if we sat down and had a long conversation i think that is where it would lead. While either side is going to see potential for error in the other's emphasis. For example perhaps you can appreciate the catholic way of phrasing theosis through language of cooperation and participation in the divine nature to become new creatures, doesnt lose sight of the center and source of that grace as God.
