Thunk

Don't you hate internet arguments? This week, we cover how to reduce opinions to simple logical statements, how to effectively respond to those statements, and how to construct your own opinions so they're bulletproof.

This week, we get into the "mind/body problem," Descartes making everyone look bad with his giant brain, and what the mind actually is.

This week, we're going to look at the history of science fiction, the introduction of computers into popular media, the possibility of creating a truly conscious artificial intelligence, and more hats! (Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!)

This week, we bust out the tinfoil hats to talk about the history of privacy as a human right, and why it's important for more than just keeping your parents from knowing what kind of dirty pictures you look at.

This week, it's frickin' cold in NY, but we're looking at the history of intellectual property law (and its recent abuses in the tech industry), as well as open-source software!
