If we remember from Sartre's life, he wrote "Existentialism is a Humanism" in 1946. As the years progressed, many lead French philosophers began to shift their view point. This however, didnt stop the public from holding to existentialism well into the 60's.]]> 2018-09-07 19:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/279004579 Taylor_Smith_ https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/281572962 A great site to read up on actual accounts of individuals "bettering the gene pool by removing themselves" The name Darwin Award refers to Darwin's concept of Natural Selection. Throughout history, people have died in many ways. Some more "simple" than others. Giving someone the Darwin Award is congratulating them on their poor collection of genes seeing as they failed that individual. A question might arise, is it always the individual's inherited gene's that determine a person's worth? Are some people born to be used as comedic material?]]> 2018-09-15 02:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/281572962 Taylor_Smith_ https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/284680155 Freud in the 1890's suggested the idea that explains the observed affinity of the son towards the mother. While he himself admitted that he didn't fully understand how the daughter was drawn towards the father, his complex also applies. In light of the article, how would a similar theory be received by modern scientific journals? Would Freud have been accepted in today's scientific community]]> 2018-09-22 22:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/284680155 Taylor_Smith_ https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/287263609 When I stumbled across this image of Rich Uncle Pennybags, I knew I had to post it to pallet. Monopoly is a game that teaches economics. Depending on how you view capitalism or socialism, it can be a great way to study economics on a smaller, more observable scale. 
Does Monopoly teach that capitalism is bad? If not they how does monopoly teach that capitalism is good?]]> 2018-09-29 23:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/287263609 Taylor_Smith_ https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/292456246 Below is the link to the website of the Communist Party in USA. Scrolling through their website they do not make it obvious as to what exactly communism stands for. The "about" page lists social injustices that most moral Americans would also be against. It also has a page where all communist party members must pay dues. Thankfully modern communists have the luxury of using PayPal. If communism makes everyone on an equal footing, then who is given the higher authority to use the money from the communist dues?]]> 2018-10-13 19:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/292456246 Taylor_Smith_ https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/292458800 Below is a website that lists a few good examples and explains what minimalist art is. Minimalism comes from the postmodern idea of rejecting or questioning the constructs that have been built previously. Minimalism removes the detail and precision of art and reduces pieces by as much as possible. What is left is something that may not seem like art to someone. Does this style of art seem appealing? Why do people pay millions for art which they could make themselves?]]> 2018-10-13 19:58:51 UTC https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/292458800 Taylor_Smith_ https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/297698278 Below is an image of Nietzsche and God. The image is enthymematic as it is relating Nietzsche's phrase, "God is dead" to a visual novel and television series that ran from 1983 to 1988. The visual novel and television series titled, Fist of the North Star, featured a character who's famous one-liner can be translated as "You are already dead," or "You were dead before you even realized it." The other characters would respond with asking the character what he meant by that before they were defeated. In the image, Nietzsche is telling God that he is already dead. Is this level of assurance of God's destruction able to be obtained by a human? Is it possible to know that God does not exist?]]> 2018-10-27 23:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/297698278 Taylor_Smith_ https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/297699786 Foucault claimed that enlightenment was a philosophical ethos that permanently critiqued the historical era. This is similar to Kant's definition being the bravery that pushed an individual to think for theirselves. The end goal leads to someone who is skeptical about what the past is or with what others tell them of the past. Is this attitude productive? Can people function while maintaining skepticism? At what level of skepticism is an individual functional while still being enlightened? ]]> 2018-10-28 00:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/297699786 Taylor_Smith_ https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/300100905 One of Lyotard's motifs is the economy of knowledge. Those who are allowed to control knowledge, repackage it, and distrubute it are superior. Companies and governments find themselves in positions to limit what information they release. At the same time and by the design of the internet, people are capable, though capitalist means such as Wordpress, to release free knowledge for anyone to view on the internet. Lyotard wrote his Postmodern Condition in 1979, four years before the internet was relesed to the public. To what degree is information controlled and who is the untimate authority that governs what content is dispersed? (Below is the website belonging to the domain registration body.

By agreeing that things are subjective to whoever is speaking, there is no way to verify anything. An example of this is a popular movement known as the sovereign citizens movement. The people backing this movement claim they are not held to accountable to the US laws. This seems obserd, however, under subjectivism any and all things become relative. My questions to a relativist or subjectivist, is how can this philosophy be reasonable and defendable?]]> 2018-11-24 23:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Taylor_Smith_/420_dab/wish/307445165
