“If all enigmas are resolved, the stars go out.

What? Is scientific method perhaps no more than fear of and flight from pessimism? A subtle defence against - truth? Or, to put it in moral terms, is it something like cowardice and insincerity? To put it immorally, is it a form of cunning? O, Socrates, Socrates, was that perhaps your secret?

| 22 Dec 2024 | Phenomenology, Mathematics & Dreydegger (w/ Jeffrey Yoshimi & Darius Parvizi-Wayne) | 02:04:20 | |
Prof Jeffrey Yoshimi is a professor in the departments of Cognitive and Information Sciences and Philosophy at UC Merced. He studies the relationship between the dynamics of consciousness and the dynamics of neural activity in an embodied brain. As part of this, Prof Yoshimi models neural networks, creates mathematical models of embodied agents and studies Husserl. Darius Parvizi-Wayne is a PhD student at Macquarie University, exploring the relationship between absorbed coping, being-in-the-world, subjectivity and active inference. He was also the host of the Active Inference Insights podcast, which is affiliated with the Active Inference Institute. Husserl was famously critical of the "mathematizing tendencies" of modern science. However, Prof Jeffrey Yoshimi and Darius Parvizi-wayne contend that mathematical methods are apt for phenomenology, and, in fact, Husserl himself used them. In this episode, we discuss the flow states through the active inference framework, Hubert Dreyfus' reading of Heidegger and the relationship between phenomenology and mathematics.

| 05 Nov 2022 | On Writing Without Lies, Machinations And Bullshit (Guiding Axiom 4/7) | IR #13 | 00:26:34 | |
“Christianity protests against every form of objectivity; it desires that the subject should be infinitely concerned about himself. It is with subjectivity that Christianity is concerned, and it is only in subjectivity that its truth exists, if it exists at all. Objectively, Christianity has absolutely no existence. If the truth happens to be only in a single subject it exists in him alone; and there is greater Christian joy in heaven over this one individual than over universal history or the system.” ― Søren Kierkegaard Orginal piece: https://theunhappyman.substack.com/p/on-writing-without-lies-machinations --------------------------------------- {Podcast} Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ryEqjut4r6SMtfxLdM1Le Anchor: https://anchor.fm/rahul-samaranayake YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RahulSam {Social Media} https://www.minds.com/trahulsam/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahul-samaranayake-981a9315b/ https://www.instagram.com/name_is_rahul/ Facebook Group: https://goo.gl/JoL9CA {Reference Links} https://politikon.iapss.org/index.php/politikon/article/view/11 --------------------------------------- If the ideas I discuss in this podcast evoke your interest, consider visiting REALM: https://www.realmprojectau.com/ --------------------------------------- Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

Dr. Leon S. Brenner is a psychoanalyst & psychoanalytical theorist.

| 06 Sep 2024 | Emily Qureshi Hurst: The Theology of Spacetime and Quantum Mechanics | 01:25:42 | |
Dr Emily Qureshi-Hurst is a Junior Research Fellow at Pembroke College and a College Lecturer in Philosophy at Oriel College in Oxford. Dr Qureshi-Hurst completed a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Oxford in Science and Religion (2021). Her thesis examined the theoretical support for a B-theory of time provided by special and general relativity, and re-interpreted Paul Tillich's doctrine of salvation in light of this metaphysical temporal model. In 2022, Cambridge University Press published her first book exploring these themes: 'God, Salvation, and the Problem of Spacetime'. Her second book on this topic, 'Salvation in the Block Universe: Time, Tillich, and Transformation', will be published in the second half of 2024. In this episode, we discuss the relationship between modern physics and religion, theories of time and the theology of Paul Tillich.

Prof Sabina Leonelli is a philosopher of science and professor at the Technical University of Munich. She is well known for her work on scientific practices, data-centric science, and open science policies.

Her research focus is on the Social Epistemology of Science, Metascience, Philosophy of AI & ML in Science and Philosophy of AI in Education. With the rise of AI and Big Data, data's growing importance as a technological, social, economic, and scientific resource is conspicuous (and even concerning). In this episode, Prof Leonelli and Dr Sikimić discuss the ontology and epistemology of data, what kind of entity data is, and what data tells us about our world and reality.

| 05 Nov 2022 | Never Mistake Cynicism For Wisdom (Guiding Axiom 3/7) | IR #12 | 00:12:43 | |
“But the new rebel is a Sceptic, and will not entirely trust anything. He has no loyalty; therefore he can never be really a revolutionist. And the fact that he doubts everything really gets in his way when he wants to denounce anything. For all denunciation implies a moral doctrine of some kind; and the modern revolutionist doubts not only the institution he denounces, but the doctrine by which he denounces it. [...] By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything.” ― G. K.

| 12 Dec 2022 | Create Through Love (Guiding Axiom 7/7) | IR #16 | 00:13:27 | |
“I was always disgusted with this notion of “I love the world” universal love. I don’t like the world. I don’t know how… Basically, I’m somewhere in between “I hate the world” or “I’m indifferent towards it.” But the whole of reality, it’s just it. It’s stupid. It is out there. I don’t care about it. Love, for me, is an extremely violent act. Love is not “I love you all.” Love means I pick out something, and it’s, again, this structure of imbalance. Even if this something is just a small detail… a fragile individual person… I say “I love you more than anything else.” In this quite formal sense, love is evil.” ― Slavoj Žižek Orginal piece: https://theunhappyman.substack.com/p/write-through-love --------------------------------------- {Podcast} Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ryEqjut4r6SMtfxLdM1Le Anchor: https://anchor.fm/rahul-samaranayake YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RahulSam {Website} {Social Media} https://www.minds.com/trahulsam/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rahul-samaranayake-981a9315b/ Facebook Group: https://goo.gl/JoL9CA --------------------------------------- If the ideas I discuss in this channel evoke your interest, consider visiting https://theunhappyman.substack.com/ --------------------------------------- Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
