Civil Disagreement Series: Academic Freedom, DEI, & the Future of Higher Education
Increasingly, concerns about maintaining academic freedom are being pitted against the efforts of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs on college campuses. In what ways can universities promote student, faculty, and staff wellbeing and cultivate belonging while remaining spaces for inquiry and free expression of ideas?
This panel discussion, co-sponsored by the FAS Civil Discourse Initiative, the Harvard College Intellectual Vitality Initiative, and the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics, brought together those who hold differing views on questions about academic freedom and DEI in higher education, informed by their various experiences and expertise. Together with the audience, th...

This event was co-sponsored with the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy. Abstract: Alexander Hamilton wrote that the courts would be the least dangerous branch of the government to be established by the Constitution. The Supreme Court’s new Code of Conduct for the Justices, among other things, prompts the question whether this is now true. Bio: Mark L. Wolf is a Senior United States District J...

Civil Disagreement Series: Reproduction and Abortion in America
Просмотров 337Год назад
Debates about reproductive rights and related policies raise critical questions about fundamental rights and liberties; issues of social, gender, and racial equality; access to health care; state, federal, and judicial power; and more. The recent Dobbs ruling has brought these complex and interconnected questions even further to the fore of our public discourse. For some, the shift towards a mo...

For some Americans, sustained and additional investments in police and prisons are seen as critical and necessary to ensure safety and justice for all citizens. On this view, enhanced support for law enforcement is key. Other Americans, however, call for reducing the scope of police function, focusing instead on alternative frameworks for reform or abolishing police departments altogether, advo...

For some Americans, guns are seen as important for safety and self-protection. Other Americans view guns as a critical threat to those very aims. Reflecting this debate, the number of guns owned by Americans has dramatically increased in recent years, and the demographics of gun owners have shifted. For example, gun ownership among communities of color, members of the LGBTQIA community, and wom...

Public Action/Private Activities: Theorizing the Tensions of Democratic Leadership & Citizen Action
Просмотров 2532 года назад
How much can a democracy demand of its citizens? Is it ever permissible to force people to act to support the public good? Much contemporary discourse holds that participation is a matter of private choice. Yet serious attempts to deal with pressing public issues-from the COVID-19 pandemic, to racial injustice and policing-tend to hit a wall, in part thanks to a view of democracy that suggests ...
Public Lecture with Olufemi O. Taiwo, "Reconsidering Reparations"

Reparations for slavery have become a reinvigorated topic for public debate over the last decade. Most theorizing about reparations treats it as a social justice project-either rooted in reconciliatory justice focused on making amends in the present, or they focus on the past, emphasizing restitution for historical wrongs. Taiwo will argue that neither approach is optimal, and advances a differ...

    First, may I ask why aren't there more comments here? I just found Professor Charles Taylor a few months back, and I am trying to get a few of his books he has written, especially the one on Hegel. Professor Charles Taylor is brilliant with the educational background of choices he made in his college years and educator in later years. With much gradititude and respect for being able to listen to the discussion, including the Q & A .

    "Pro-life” believers say it’s about saving a human life, but it is not. It is about the pregnancy. If they cared about human life, they would pour energy into robust development of adoption agencies, social support for needy families, education, and general welfare of all children so no child would be born with the risk of poverty and poor educational opportunities.Pro-life is all about forcing everyone to the same set of rules. Kind of like forcing women to wear a burka and only travel in the company of a male relative.If the anti-abortion people really cared about reducing abortions rather than forcing people to abide by their rules, they would work to make family planning and contraception free to all women in the United States (and vasectomies for men). If there are no unwanted pregnancies, the number of abortions would plummet.John Messmer, MD, Hummelstown, Pa.“Pro-life” is not about saving a life | PennLive letters share.newsbreak.com/21y2awlv

    Reasons for abortion: 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋 What about young women who aren’t ready to have a child? What about women who’ve been raped? What about women whose pregnancy threatens their life? What about women who can’t afford to raise a child? What about women in abusive relationships? What about women too poor to raise another child? What about women who will still try to have a back-alley abortion that could end up killing them? What about women who would have to leave school to raise the child because they’re single mothers? What about women whose careers would be ruined because of how we’ve set up our capitalist society? What about women who know their child will be born with an incurable illness? What about women who believe that bringing another life into a world where born lives are treated worse than unborn lives is unfair? What about women who believe it’s their right to choose?

  • @vickygraham2444
    @vickygraham2444 Год назад

    So, why demand women have children they do not want & cannot afford? Anti-abortion Zealots are all gooey-eyed about Fetuses. Insist all be born. Among the worst things that can happen to an infant is to be born into a home that does not want them; "doubly worse" if that home is one of poverty. Unwanted, underprivileged children do not often grow into solid, well educated, hard working, productive law-abiding citizens. Many become sullen, resentful, semi literate, non-productive and outright dangerous. The Far Right makes no sense in this double think. Let the people who don't WANT children, NOT have them!

  • @vickygraham2444

    "The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; unlike orphans, they don't need money, education, or childcare; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It's almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn."

    BULLSHITTERS ARE DESPICABLE. Truly VERY DESPICABLE. How do bullshitting and bullying relate to one another? What percentage of bullies are bullshitters, and what percentage of bullshitters are bullies? Political life and corporate life are replete with bullies and bullshitters. If so agreed, who would argue that we are better of for it or worse of. Of course, to me, much worse of for it. BULLSHITTERS AND BULLIES LOWER THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN POLITICAL LIFE AND IN CORPORATE LIFE. I taught mathematics for over two years in middle school and in high school, and two of those students (the only ones who told me that they wanted to be lawyers) told me THAT THEY WANTED TO BE LAWYERS BECAUSE THEY WERE GOOD BULLSHITTERS. How representative is it among lawyers that they became lawyers because they believed that they were good bullshitters? Perhaps in disagreement with Harry Frankfurt, I contend that if you are a lawyer or a used car salesman, any time that you engage in bullshitting in pursuit of your ends, you (lawyer, used car salesman, or other) are being antisocial, immoral, and unethical; and at times unlawful. The space between PROFESSIONALISM and BULLSHITTING is a null space: PROFESSIONALISM AND BULLSHITTING ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE: THEY ARE (I perceive) AS TOTALLY INCOMPATIBLE. Again: BULLSHITTERS AND BULLIES LOWER THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN POLITICAL LIFE AND IN CORPORATE LIFE, and civic minded people should deliberately make an effort to raise our social discourse and make bullies and bullshitters not welcome. Is bullshitting ever morally/ethically neutral, perhaps only in non-serious matters such as entertainment, comedy, and the like. Otherwise, I perceive it as always crapping the 'social slate' (the grand and universal social slate) that we all write on when we utter or write. It is not nice to polluted that important social slate that we all depend on for all the serious matters of life!! Ultimately, this is a reflection of our social immaturity referring to the percentage of humanity in a low level of emotional/psychological/ethical immaturity. AND SO WHAT TO DO? Harry G. Frankfurt said "Respect for the truth and a concern for the truth are among the foundations for civilization. I was for a long time disturbed by the lack of respect for the truth that I observed... bullshit is one of the deformities of these values." (On Bullshit Part 1 in RUclips - ruclips.net/video/W1RO93OS0Sk/видео.html. Bullshit is an assault to civilized living. It is AN ASSAULT TO JUSTICE. JUSTICE IS BASED ON TRUTH. BRING IN BULLSHIT AND LIES TO THE JUSTICE PROCESS AND YOU ERODE JUSTICE. YOU ERODE IT SYSTEMICALLY AND SPECIFICALLY (in some specific, individual case.) BULLSHIT IS ANATHEMA TO CIVILIZED LIVING!

    Raped on a train. For more than 40 minutes, a woman was harassed by a stranger on a public transit train in Philadelphia and then raped while bystanders held up their cellphones, seemingly to record the assault, police said. Your fellow human beings folks. Not only did they fail to help this woman, they had such a lack of empathy for her, they could pull their phones out to record the attack for future social media postings! More than two dozen train stops passed as the man harassed, groped and eventually raped the woman, the police chief for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority said at a news conference Monday. I'll say it again, unfortunately people are afraid to realize that the idea of being safe is an illusion in society. The reality is, to put it in the simplest terms, you're safe as long as the person standing next to you doesn't decide to kill you. That's not paranoia it's just an obvious fact. You know what would have empowered this poor woman to stop her stronger, bigger, male attacker??? A firearm, it would have made his choice to assault her because of his perceived power over her a bad choice. And hopefully he'd never be assaulting and raping any other women again! Just sayin...

    1) By reflecting away 30% of ISR the albedo, which would not exist w/o the atmosphere/GHGs, makes the earth cooler than it would be without that atmosphere like that reflective panel set behind the windshield. Remove the atmosphere/GHGs and the earth would become much like the Moon and Mercury, a barren rock with a 0.1 albedo, 20% more kJ/h, hot^3 on the lit side, cold^3 on the dark. Nikolov, Kramm (U of AK) and UCLA Diviner mission all tacitly agree. 2) the GHG up/down welling, “trapping”/”back” radiating/delaying/intercepting, 100 % efficient, perpetual warming loop requires "extra" energy which according to RGHE theory comes from 3) the terrestrial surface radiating that "extra" energy as a LWIR ideal black body which 4) cannot happen because of the non-radiative heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmospheric molecules and as demonstrated by experiment, the gold standard of classical science: principia-scientific.org/debunking-the-greenhouse-gas-theory-with-a-boiling-water-pot/ 1+2+3+4 = 0 Greenhouse Effect + 0 Greenhouse gas warming + 0 man caused climate change.

    *Censored Climate Science Knowledge Test* Q Name all of the gases in our atmosphere that do not participate in convection cooling and *through mass mechanical energy transmission,* also known as the Newton’s Cradle Effect. A None. They all participate. Q What gases in our atmosphere block heat loss? A None. You cannot stop heat loss unless you build a glass or plastic wall surrounding the Earth to block convection cooling and the Newton’s Cradle Effect. No free flowing gas can trap heat and be used as insulation. Q What are the names of the four scientists who destroyed the greenhouse gas theory? A Dr. Michael Connolly and Dr. Ronan Connolly in Ireland, and Dr. Ned Nikolov and Dr. Karl Zeller in Colorado, USA. Q Why is this good climate news not reported by our media? A Because our media censors real climate science derived from the proper use of the scientific method. The scientific method demands hard certifiable, repeatable evidence, not speculation, wild computer models fed false assumptions, and the mindless repeating of unproven conjecture from past centuries. Hysteria, politics, group-think, and religious fervor are not part of the scientific method. All of those things are part of the totalitarian domination method. Q Is there a mathematical way to predict the average baseline surface temperature of rocky surfaced planets and moons in our solar system? A There is only one way. You need to find out two main facts: their distance from the Sun, which tells us how much solar energy they receive, and their average global atmospheric pressure. With that information you can accurately predict average baseline surface temperatures to within one degree Celsius. Q Do cow farts, SUVs, and overweight opera singers cause hurricanes and global warming? A No. Real air pollution, such as smoke, causes a minor cooling effect by blocking sunlight. To increase Earth’s temperature you would have to increase atmospheric pressure or block cloud formation. We do not have the technology to do either of those things. What keeps Earth warm is our global planetary atmospheric pressure. The FORCE of gravity on atmospheric mass creates a heating effect that keeps our oceans from freezing to the equator. That is why the bottom of Death Valley is always warmer than the top of Mount Everest. Higher air pressure causes higher temperatures. Lower air pressure causes lower temperatures.
