This channel features personal videos in which I express my views about various types of philosophy, including political and moral philosophy, theology, epistemology, and the philosophy of math and science. I always encourage debate, so please share your thoughts in the comments section, even if you think I'm completely off base!
Dealing with Trump
I made this video the day after the very unfortunate presidential election in which Trump, who could be a madman, won the election for President of the United States for the second time! How can be best prepared for this highly unfortunate turn of events?
I highly appreciate any feedback any of you may have, positive or negative, and I'd especially like feedback regarding what you think may be our best course of action.
I also posted this video on Let's Make a Better World.

Prejudice: Why Do We Have It and What Should We Do About It?
Просмотров 129Месяц назад
In this video, I first define prejudice and many related terms, such as racism, bigotry, and intolerance, and then I discuss the psychology of prejudice and how to combat it.
Is Math Invented or Discovered?
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.Месяц назад
This is a video I made several months ago on the philosophy of math, namely the question of whether math is invented or discovered, or perhaps a bit of both. I'm of the opinion that math is by-in-large discovered rather than invented, and I explain why I believe this to be true.
Utilitarianism
Просмотров 182 месяца назад
In this video, I discuss utilitarianism, a branch of moral philosophy based on the idea that we should act in such a way as to try to maximize the happiness of everyone involved.
Reason and Emotion
Просмотров 123 месяца назад
In this video, I discuss the importance of both reason and emotion, how they aren't necessarily at odds with each other, and in fact, why it's important to have them work together.
The Machine
Просмотров 4983 месяца назад
Imagine a machine you could enter in which you could enjoy any simulated life scenario you want, the catch being that once you enter the machine, you can never return to the "real world" and you will permanently forget all your life experiences before entering the machine. Would you enter such a machine? Why or why not?
Pyramids of Human Virtues and Vices
Просмотров 1823 месяца назад
In this video, I discuss a diagram I came up with in 2022 called Pyramids of Virtues and Vices, which consists of two triangular arrays, opposites of each other, one consisting of 10 virtues and the other of the opposing 10 vices. As always, I appreciate your input, even if you disagree!
What Is Philosophy?
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.3 месяца назад
In this first video on my new channel, I discuss the basics of philosophy, what it is, the branches of philosophy and what they're about, and some deep and important questions concerning each branch.
Good and Evil
Просмотров 9788 месяцев назад
In this video, I present two pseudo-scientific theories of my own regarding the nature of good and evil, one in terms of evolution and the other in terms of entropy.
The True Meaning of Christmas
Просмотров 9310 месяцев назад
In this video I discuss various wonderful aspects of Christmas and ultimately what I believe is its true meaning. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Scientific Dogma
Просмотров 56411 месяцев назад
In this video, I explain why scientific dogma is just as bad as religious dogma or any other form of dogma.
War and Peace
Просмотров 43911 месяцев назад
In this video I talk about war and peace, in particular, how I think war as well as physical violence are very bad and how we need to try to put an end to both of them.
Dreams (Part 2)
Просмотров 551Год назад
This is my second video in a series about dreams. This video is more personal and is focused more on the interpretation of dreams.
Monism and Dualism
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Год назад
In this video I discuss various forms of monism and dualism as well as what I believe regarding the relationship between body, mind and spirit.

The Spirituality of Forrest Gump, Part 1 The Feather
Another mistake I made in this video was my cancer diagnosis. I have prostate cancer, not pancreatic cancer, which would be much more serious! And my doctors caught it very early, so most likely they'll be able to get rid of it completely one way or another and I may make it to 90 like 3 out of 4 of my grandparents did as well as my father.
I spoke a bit too soon early on. As it turns out, Trump won in all 7 of the battleground states, including my home state of Nevada, in which I spent a month proudly campaigning for Harris. The final electoral count was 312 to 226. What's more, Trump also won the popular vote this time. Oy, Vay!
Discovered and there are many things still left to be discovered in mathematics

We treated them as if realism lived life out as a measure of that faith it stagnated all feilds of study and dicipline on par with Greeks inability to ask a specific question useing richard finneman entangled prayer logic about a stream Engine textualized ,factory tested method, and objectvly bring abt the industrial revolution . We repeated that on par with Prussian Austrian reforms . nd your jwst directly hooked up every spectrum & wavelength and automatically by default it is no reason for 1 2 3 or even reason for that matter. You'd just be fully informed without measure. Were guilty of fabricating some physical mystification around idealistic forces like numbers or in sloopy loose generalized ways a near regiousity of greeks. Akin to ancestor worship by default. Its a clear monastic vow & a modern cult meaning of religiousity. is is the exact reason & logic behind why we must stop teaching everything starts in Greece revisionist history curriculum undermines not only English law thats based on earlier times but historical facts about who what when where why and how we came to know what we know. 100 years ago made since it had been 400 long years of in fighting refusal but now everyone has been given 90 years to dig up history for themselves. Every new border drawing new nations was given peace to peer review history nature universe proper. All the calander counting wars how astronomy forms its all there. The 4th demension umbrella time problem trying to back track over ancestors record. The dualistic darwin like cause behind the merger of marduk is the same as our basian mind model where we have this 2/3 miss aligned evolutionary measure that repeats the same delimias. You'll never see these as mysterious magical or mystical ever again everyone will adjust responsibily
Its just tools of approximation manmade inspired by God at best.... What do you mean something is more than 1 universe? What categorical frame of reference justfys infinite objects when we look closer in detail we must bring in language, speech & hierarchical orders of magnitude scaled. Reasoning & logic that only applies to humans. 1st is curses and blessings standardized weights and measure moves to market place historically. This leads to addition and subtraction. Then prayer logic successful social behavior is unpacked by greeks into phylosphy. Statistical anylitical failures was viewed as dark matter spirits in the sky for babylonian cults. Lol Everything humans do echos xyz manmade time hierarchy knowledge of good evil equations where obviously successful social behavior inadvertently effortlessly without even knowing it overcome horizion paradoxes plagerizes correlate prescribe back upon the world. 1 to 1 allocation is a paradolia of mind that seeks categorical order and ignores hidden axioms of complexity right before our deaf dumb and blind faces. Our minds ignore entropic decay.. We long for finding a frame of reference like code of life measure where this is a choice made. If we stick to cell follow it all it does is split mutate or decay. It cant self assemble it needs interaction with larger orders of magnitude scaled epochs .
logic is discovered, then all based on it is also discovered... :) ... and beyond math, i would say ::: everything is discovered... among logical possibilities of realization.
Mathematics is discovered. When Cantor established his theory of cardinalities, he was inventing the idea of how to compare sets. But as a consequence, he discovered that some infinite sets have greater cardinalities than others. There are many other cases of this kind of thing. The concepts behind Group Theory were invented slowly and gradually refined. Eventually there was a large investigation into the classification of finite simple groups. If mathematics is invented, then I'd like to know who invented the Monster group!
fun fact cantor was specificaly trying to establish when a functions' fourier series is unique, and I think the idea was that it was unique when it had a countable amount of discutinuities or something like that
I think maths is discovered, but we invent the representation of it, the symbols and language used to embody them
3:25 counting fruits: there's clearly 6 bananas and 3 kiwi fruits? Not sure how much watermelon there is, clearly less than 1 though ;)
It looks like they should have introduced fractions first before showing the fruit slices!
good video....
Thanks! I'll make some new ones as soon as I can. Meanwhile, you might want to check out some of my other videos.
Our methodologies and symbols are invented but the innate qualities of martens are relational and therfore preexistent to our debtors of math Our math is our method of inquiry. The tools we use to explore. What if we only represented all numbers as a binomial. The primes it is composed from?
I don't know how you can represent all numbers as binomials other than in the trivial way, i.e., n = nC1.
Quantities are discovered, numbers are invented. You dont invent a number system, you just build one with predefined attributes, like base 10 requires 123456789 and 0, or an equivalent representation. You discover things about that number system, and invent sigils to correspond. The question is really asking if mathematics exist before we know them, and yes they do. We invent the representation and notation, but the logic and information was always there to build from.
It sounds like you're saying that numerals are invented but numbers are discovered, and I completely agree! No one can doubt that any intelligent extraterrestrial civilization we encounter will use different symbols for their numbers and most likely a different counting system as well, but they'll still be working with the same numbers! Just like a rose by any other name smells just as sweet, a number by any other name is still the same number.
Is like the abstract idea of number 2 and all the different representations of 2, II, ..,
maths are a Definition of a concept of reality, like physics on an abstract plane, i say neither discovered or invented, but defined
This is an interesting point of view, which I need to look into some more. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
What's the difference between inventing an axiom and defining an axiom? Once we have axioms we make discoveries about their interactions
Discovered; maths are there before us and are applicable to the entire universe. According to Plato the only thing that is required is to access the idea and download it
So, it sounds like you're a mathematical Platonist like myself! Are you a Platonist about other things as well?
Inventing, discovery, design, they're all just search with arbitrary fitness functions.
Is this an AI point of view?
Lol no. I'm just a designer with a hobby in philosophy.
Imo, we invent definitions and discover theorems (or at least conjectures)
This is a very good insight!
definitions are specifications partitioned from the total body of all possible objects. we specify definitions, and discover the relationships between definitions.
