awesome philosophy - physics interview
Here’s one juicy part: Hawking is a brilliant man, but he’s not an expert in what’s going on in philosophy, evidently. Over the past thirty years the philosophy of physics has become seamlessly integrated with the foundations of physics work done by actual physicists, so the situation is actually the exact opposite of what he describes. I think he just doesn’t know what...

§611 Nietzsche & Flow →
dailynietzsche: “To elude boredom man either works harder than is required to satisfy his other needs or he invents play, but he may become tired of play and longs for a third condition which stands in the same relation to play as floating does to dancing and dancing to walking. This third condition is a state of serene agitation; the vision of happiness for the artist and the philosopher.” ...

Men v Women
bbcity: mohandasgandhi: TheAmazingAtheist is absolutely terrible. I can’t stand the guy. Since bbcity and others already did a fantastic job going over the more theoretical aspects of this guy’s blatant sexism and his misunderstandings of the most basic concepts of feminist equality, I thought it might be a good idea to address some factual inaccuracies:   “Domestic violence against men is...

Feminism and Sexism
bbcity: “Feminists are sexists.” — The Amazing Atheist Poor […] white boy feels oppressed; decides to join new anti-something movement. (via bbcity) i didn’t watch this guy for more than a few seconds, but isn’t “feminism” a sexist construct? if it’s about equality, why isn’t it called “equisexism” or the more explicit “gender equality”?
