philosopher

Longwinded discussion about physics, what I think the show holds for next season, and a bit of religion and philosophy. It’s about 800 words so I moretagged it.

Well I must say I love this revelation:
Albert Einstein described belief in God as "childish superstition" and said Jews were not the chosen people, in a letter to be sold in London this week, an auctioneer said Tuesday.

Interesting letter written by Albert Einstein is being sold by Bloomsbury Auctions in London this week.

We were there. From 11:45 am - 2:00 pm. When they passed out cards to everyone and shooed us all off. And so here are my thoughts (and a couple of overheard conversations) from our brief (compared to many other maniacs) time in line.

There is much I admire about the philosophy of Ayn Rand. Sure, it’s one dimensional, but her emphasis on individual liberty was worthy of respect. It’s not necessarily pro-virtue, but it is pro-liberty.

However, personally Ayn Rand was a rather bizarre and contradictory figure. For a philosopher who espoused such radical notions of individualism, she sure demanded conformity from her followers. This predictably created a quasi-religion around Rand in which she is seen as so

It’s true, I’m not a fan of the term “content marketing” and would never apply that term to the work I do. That said, I really like some people who are evangelizing the use of the term “content marketing” who have honored this blog with a high ranking on a new list of bloggers who write about what they believe the term describes (more on that in a minute).

Some time back I added “the philosophy of technology” as a tagline to jaxn.org (though I have turned it on and off a few times). I am not exactly sure where the phrase came from, but I have a feeling it was something someone said to me. Still, it has a very specific meaning to me and now is as good of a time as any to document it.
