Thanks for this note, Vinny.  I did not watch the Peterson-Zizek debate, but I have been following the reports of it.

 

Here is one from the Guardian, for example:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/20/jordan-peterson-slavoj-zizek-happiness-capitalism-marxism

 

Discussion on another list I am on (Intellectual Deep Web) suggested it was interesting, but nothing earth shattering. Alexander Bard argued that neither offered much in the way of a vision for the future. That is, neither have an understanding of how to generate a “post postmodern grand metanarrative” that effectively incorporates science, values, technology, and ecology in a way that offers a direction for folks across the “socio-ecological scales” (individual/agent to family to tribe to nation to globe).

 

On that note, in the next week or two I will be offering the TOK Society a summary of the mini conference.


Best,
Gregg

Thank you Gregg for sharing this. I enjoyed the discussion and am brainstorming our next discussion for an episode!  The comments I've received so far on this episode have been, in summary "...who is that guy?... I like him...".   : )

 

I've published a couple more episodes https://unlatchedmind.com and Unlatched Mind podcast can be found on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and Google Play.  Subscribe for free and share and, most importantly, let me know how it can be improved.  I would highly value this group's opinions.  If you have interest in doing an episode, let's chat!

 

On a separate note, anyone looking forward to this https://www.jordanvsslavojdebate.com/ this evening?

 

 

Thank you all,

Vinny

Dear TOK List,

 

  I just wanted to share with this list that a podcast I did with Vinny Vallarine  just went live. Here is the link:

https://unlatchedmind.com/is-truth-being-redefined

 

I really enjoyed talking with Vinny (who joined our list). The conversation starts on the concept of the truth and then transitions into a number of areas. It was sparked in part based on this blog I did on the concept of BS and its relationship to knowledge and the truth:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/theory-knowledge/201810/bs-and-the-nature-knowledge

 

Here is a description of the podcast:

 

The Unlatched Mind podcast is a long form discussion on topics including neuroscience, morality, behavioral science, religion, artificial intelligence, psychology and philosophy. Host Vinny Vallarine introduces listeners to guests and experts on these, and other topics of interest.

 

Best,

Gregg
