Why Skepticism Matters | For Good Reason

TSDavis — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:55:08 +0000

Save this for when you have time.
"In this discussion with D.J. Grothe, James Randi explores the meaning and worth of "skepticism," and explains why skepticism is not the same as cynicism. He talks about the focus of the JREF's mission, and to what extent social issues such as GLBT rights, civil rights, economic equality, church-state separation, feminism and environmentalism are within skepticism's purview. He debates whether God's existence should be a skeptic topic, and reveals why he is an "atheist of the second kind." And he details recent activities at the JREF to challenge charlatans and educate the public about harmful paranormal claims, and how listeners can get directly involved with this important and unique work."

The Brain: A Machine Built of Conflicting Parts

TSDavis — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:54:01 +0000

“As neuroscientists are learning more and more about our body’s hidden frontier, we have gained fleeting insights into our own intuition, habits and seemingly unexplainable preferences. Can we solve those mysteries by creating a complete computer model of our brain? Or, is the brain an unsolvable puzzle? Two leading neuroscientists discuss these question and more as we look into the neurology of the brain.” – swissnex San Francisco and the California Academy of Sciences

Study Praxeology

TSDavis — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:48:44 +0000

“Praxeology is a science that studies the logic of human action. It is qualitatively distinct from Psychology, Ethics, Technology and History. It is the newest of all sciences (biochemistry or neurobiology are just new branches of the old science of biology). This is because of the specific knowledge which had to be understood before Praxeology could be formulated. Understanding Praxeology reveals powerful conclusions about what must happen when a person acts.”
