Communicating underwater is challenging. Light and odors don’t travel well, but sound moves about four times faster in water than in air — which means marine mammals often use sounds to communicate. The most famous of these underwater vocalizations is undoubtedly the whale song. Stephanie Sardelis decodes the evocative melodies composed by the world’s largest mammals.

Philippe Beck. Poetry, between Hegel and Schiller. 2016

source: European Graduate School Video Lectures 2016年11月11日
http://www.egs.edu Philippe Beck, Professor of Poetry at The European Graduate School / EGS. Valetta/Malta. March 24 2016.
Philippe Beck is a contemporary French poet, writer, and philosopher. He is Professor of Poetry at The European Graduate School / EGS and Senior Lecturer of Philosophy at l’Université de Nantes. Interested in the nature of the poetic experience, for Beck, the poetic today lies not only between scientific experience and common sense experience but allows for their communicability. His work traverses poetry, poétologie, prose, and philosophy, as evidenced in his intellectual biography Beck l’impersonage, from 2006, and his latest work, Contre un Boileau, un art poétique, published this year. He has published sixteen books of poetry and was awarded the Grand Prix de Poésie (Grand Poetry Prize) from the French Academy in 2015 in recognition of his poetic oeuvre.

Beck began his advanced studies in literature and philosophy at L’École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud in 1985. He went on to complete his doctoral studies at L’École des hautes études en sciences sociales under the supervision of Jacques Derrida, receiving his doctorate degree with honors in 1994 with his dissertation entitled Histoire et imagination (History and Imagination).
Beck’s poetry is highly influenced by his philosophical education. Following Derrida’s particular way of writing, many of Beck’s poetic works are conceived as comments on other texts. Often “metatextual” and “intertextual,” Beck’s poetry functions as a kind of palimpsest. They are, as well, often self-reflexive, as in the case of Garde-manche hypocrite (Hypocritical Oversleeve), his first book of poetry published in 1996, and Garde-manche deux (Oversleeve Two), a revised version of the former published in 2003. In Chants populaires (Folk Songs), from 2007, Beck reinvents seventy-two fairytales originally written by the Brothers Grimm. However, he does not simply paraphrase or retell these stories, but rather, in poetic form, offers interpretations and commentaries with the aid of psychoanalysis, sociology, and philosophy.

The idea for these Lectures on Continuum Physics grew out of a short series of talks on materials physics at University of Michigan, in the summer of 2013. Those talks were aimed at advanced graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and faculty colleagues. From this group the suggestion emerged that a somewhat complete set of lectures on continuum aspects of materials physics would be useful. The lectures that you are about to dive into were recorded over a six-week period at the University. Given their origin, they are meant to be early steps on a path of research in continuum physics for the entrant to this area, and I daresay a second opinion for the more seasoned exponent of the science. The potential use of this series as an enabler of more widespread research in continuum physics is as compelling a motivation for me to record and offer it, as is its potential as an open online class.
This first edition of the lectures appears as a collection of around 130 segments (I confess, I have estimated, but not counted) of between 12 and 30 minutes each. The recommended single dose of online instruction is around 15 minutes. This is a recommendation that I have flouted with impunity, hiding behind the need to tell a detailed and coherent story in each segment. Still, I have been convinced to split a number of the originally longer segments. This is the explanation for the proliferation of Parts I, II and sometimes even III, with the same title. Sprinkled among the lecture segments are responses to questions that arose from a small audience of students and post-doctoral scholars who followed the recordings live. There also are assignments and tests.
The roughly 130 segments have been organized into 13 units, each of which may be a chapter in a book. The first 10 units are standard fare from the continuum mechanics courses I have taught at University of Michigan over the last 14 years. As is my preference, I have placed equal emphasis on solids and fluids, insisting that one cannot fully appreciate the mechanical state of one of these forms of matter without an equal appreciation of the other. At my pace of classroom teaching, this stretch of the subject would take me in the neighborhood of 25 lectures of 80 minutes each. At the end of the tenth of these units, I have attempted, perhaps clumsily, to draw a line by offering a roadmap of what the viewer could hope to do with what she would have learned up to that point. It is there that I acknowledge the modern masters of continuum mechanics by listing the books that, to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, will enlighten the reader far above my poor power to add or detract.
At this point the proceedings also depart from the script of continuum mechanics, and become qualified for the mantle of Continuum Physics. The next three units are on thermomechanics, variational principles and mass transport--subjects that I have learned from working in these areas, and have been unable to incorporate in regular classes for a sheer want of time. In the months and years to come, new editions of these Lectures on Continuum Physics will feature an enhancement of breadth and depth of these three topics, as well as topics in addition to them.
Finally, a word on the treatment of the subject: it is mathematical. I know of no other way to do continuum physics. While being rigorous (I hope) it is, however, neither abstract nor formal. In every segment I have taken pains to make connections with the physics of the subject. Props, simple but instructive, have been used throughout. A deformable plastic bottle, water and food color have been used--effectively, I trust. The makers of Lego, I believe, will find reason to be pleased. Finally, the time-honored continuum potato has been supplanted by an icon of American life: the continuum football.

Artificial Intelligence, Minds, & Knowledge

source: Philosophical Overdose 2016年10月8日
After decades of research, the thinking computer remains a distant dream. They can play chess and drive cars, but thinking like humans remains a step beyond. Now, the inventor of quantum computation David Deutsch has called for a wholesale change in thinking, a revolution in philosophy, to break the impasse. He discusses these issues with Joe Gelonesi in this program. Professor Hubert Dreyfus also makes a brief appearance as well.

Equal Protection: Origins and Legacies of the Fourteenth Amendment

source: Yale University 2016年10月14日
On March 31, 2016, in honor of the 150th anniversary of the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, the Gilder Lehrman Center (GLC) for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at Yale University sponsored a public panel and discussion. Moderated by GLC Director David Blight, the panel included four prominent scholars of Reconstruction and the Constitution: Akhil Reed Amar (Yale Law School), Tomiko Brown-Nagin (Harvard Law School), Eric Foner (Columbia University), Amy Dru Stanley (University of Chicago), and John Fabian Witt (Yale Law School). From the perspective of their academic traditions and their own research, each scholar addressed the most significant legacy of the Fourteenth Amendment. This short film drawn from the panel sheds light on how this amendment, which granted citizenship to all U.S.-born persons, lies at the heart of what many historians term the "Second American Revolution."

The Euro and the Battle of Ideas

source: London School of Economics and Political Science 2016年10月21日
Date: Wednesday 19 October 2016
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Old Theatre, Old Building
Speakers: Professor Markus K. Brunnermeier, Professor Harold James
Chair: Professor Ricardo Reis

Why is the Euro in trouble? A string of economic difficulties in Greece, Ireland, Spain, Italy, and other Eurozone nations has left observers wondering whether the currency union can survive. Markus Brunnermeier and Harold James argue that the core problem with the Euro lies in the philosophical differences between the founding countries of the Eurozone, and how these seemingly incompatible differences can be reconciled to ensure Europe's survival.
Markus K. Brunnermeier (@MarkusEconomist) is the Edwards S. Sanford Professor of Economics at Princeton University and Director of Princeton's Bendheim Center of Finance.
Harold James is Professor of History and International Affairs at Princeton University.
Ricardo Reis is Professor of Economics at Columbia University, Senior George Fellow at the Bank of England and A W Phillips Professor of Economics at LSE.
The Centre For Macroeconomics (@CFMUK) brings together world-class experts to carry out pioneering research on the global economic crisis and to help design policies that alleviate it.

Ron Suskind: "Life, Animated" | Talks at Google

source: Talks at Google 2016年10月15日
Now a major motion picture, "Life, Animated" is the inspirational story of Owen Suskind, a young man with autism who was unable to speak as a child until he and his family discovered a unique way to communicate by immersing themselves in the world of classic Disney animated films.
This talk will touch on some key themes, including parents never giving up on helping their child, using an area of passion to build strengths and become a leader in the community, and why we should never underestimate our own abilities.
Ron also founded a company, Sidekicks, that's building a new kind of communication platform to support individuals with autism and their families. More information can be found at sidekicks.com
Eileen Naughton moderated this Talk at Google.

Narcissism Doesn't Develop Naturally – It Is a Learned Condition | Aliso...

source: Big Think 2016年10月13日
Narcissists aren't born – they're made, says development psychologist Alison Gopnik. She takes issue with the popular notion that children need to unlearn brashness and learn civility, when neuroscience shows that it tends to work in the reverse. Gopnik's latest book is "The Gardener and the Carpenter: What the New Science of Child Development Tells Us about the Relationship Between Parents and Children" (http://goo.gl/3E0Ti2).

Transcript - One of the things that we've discovered in the science is that children already have moral intuitions from the time they're extremely young. So even 14-month-olds will go out of their way to try to help someone else who's in trouble. And there's even some evidence that this is true for babies, for infants. So the old picture that we had about moral development was that children started out being these amoral egocentric creatures and then they had to be socialized into being moral or caring about other people. And that view is sort of exactly the opposite of the view that we have now. There was a column in the New York Times that said someone like Donald Trump is like a two-year-old and I was extremely irritated, thought about writing a letter to say that's a terrible insult to two-year-olds. Two-year-olds are not narcissistic and egocentric and only concerned with their own happiness. They have the potential for caring about other people taking care of them. It's something that happens between being two and being grown-up that makes the narcissist and the egotists of the world develop. That's a grown-up condition not a condition of a two-year-old.

Archetypal Synchronistic Resonance, Part One: A New Theory, with Brendan Engen

source: New Thinking Allowed 2016年2月25日
Brendan Engen, PsyD, is a clinical psychologist based in Waycross, Georgia. He is co-author with Jeffrey Mishlove of a 2007 paper, published in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology, titled “Archetypal Synchronistic Resonance: A New Theory of Paranormal Experience”.

Here he points out that apophenia is a psychopathological term used by skeptics to dismiss the entire notion of synchronicity. He argues, however, that not all ostensible synchronistic events are best explained away in this fashion. He also notes that many instances of apophenia may be harmless. Also, some genuine synchronicities can lead to harmful consequences. There are no set rules for distinguishing between these possibilities. The theory of archetypal synchronistic resonance will benefit from the collection of more case studies.
New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He serves as dean of transformational psychology at the University of Philosophical Research. He teaches parapsychology for ministers in training with the Centers for Spiritual Living through the Holmes Institute. He has served as vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology, and is the recipient of its Pathfinder Award for outstanding contributions to the field of human consciousness. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.
