Academia is the poison. We're the antidote.
40oz Hemlock is lively yet in-depth philosophical analysis of culture, politics, science, art, music, religion, and social issues. The host, Nick, was an award-winning Philosophy instructor with a unique ability to provide a view of such topics through the lens of philosophical analysis.
This was actually recorded before a couple of the most recent podcasts, at a point when I was considering doing uniquely YouTube videos too, of which this was to be one. But given the subject matter it makes sense to include it in this series on the Mind, and the GAP that exists between what we actually know about it versus what our pseudo-intellectual class says they know about it... a gap which hides the REAL gap, which is the gap between the human mind and EVERY other thing in the universe.
Anyway, Part 10 coming very very soon. We're picking up steam again. Love you guys that listen. Thanks for letting me talk!
I've been telling you that the whole effort is to change society's conception of itself, by changing the human person's conception of himself. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.
This is the second part of our "deep dive" regarding the impossibility of the mind being the brain. In the first part we saw that the supposed "mind/body problem" that "The Story" suggests was the reason for intellectuals leaving behind the religious picture of the world -- a world composed of both material and immaterial things -- turns out in fact to be NO problem at all once it is analyzed. In this part, we now see how NO materialistic theory of the mind, could ever work... ever. And we do so by looking closely at what happens when Charles Darwin, or something like him, falls down the stairs.
This is a first installment of a series called "Mind the Gap", in which we'll be looking more at the way the media's own ignorance of intellectual history and the current state of debate in the philosophy of science and mind gets leveraged to manipulate you.
In this series we'll be looking extensively at a panel discussion about what has come to be called "Neuropolitics". But first, in this episode, we tackle the myth of "political polarization". This may at first seem off topic for a series about the human mind, but it is far from that, as you'll see.
Now that we have expanded on Jack's story, and its philosophical implications, we are in a position to see how 'theory' of Radicalism really just boils down to the 'psychology' of Radicalism. The two sides of the coin converge. They are one and the same. This is really, really important. Don't miss it!
