Do you expect a deal by year's end to avoid the fiscal cliff?
DEMOCRATS (22 votes)
Yes: 73%
No: 27%
"At least I hope so. But Grover Norquist still calls the shots for a majority of Republicans."
"But not a permanent deal, just something to kick it down the road a bit."
"I expect a postponement on sequestration, but not a total solution. Not as sure on the tax expirations."
"Although it might slip into January."
"As we get closer to year's end, we're more likely to get a deal."
"But only a partial deal that will hold us over until a full deal can be negotiated early next year."
"I'm hopeful that both sides of the aisle can still work together to solve our country's biggest problems."
"[If] the president and the speaker want a deal badly enough, we'll get one. I think they do."
"We haven't reached a deal in the past because Republicans have been intransigent about putting revenues on the table. But now with defense cuts, Republicans finally have incentive to negotiate."
"Yes. I think the president, both parties, their leadership, and especially the federal agencies realize the heavy price we will all pay if a deal is not reached. The stakes are too high to leave this undone."
"Republicans won't raise taxes. Democrats won't let the president gut Social Security and Medicare."
"No. These guys couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag."
"There's no reason to cut a bad deal this month, and that's all the Republicans will offer."
Do you expect a deal by year's end to avoid the fiscal cliff?
REPUBLICANS (22 votes)
Yes: 85%
No: 15%
"The president understands that another recession on his watch is bad for his legacy."
"A framework will be in place and agreed to; the next Congress will be responsible for passing it."
"I refuse to believe that voting to extend most tax cuts that are set to expire amounts to raising taxes. John Boehner will negotiate the best deal possible, and thanks to the lesson they learned last December, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy, and the majority of the GOP Conference will support it."
"I'm an optimist, and that is the reason I can serve in Congress and still sleep at night."
"It will be very bipartisan and very bad. No significant spending cuts—and a marginal tax-rate increase. Result: Economy will drag into a recession."
"The Dec. 31, 2012, deadline is fast approaching, and Congress must act to avert the fiscal cliff and prevent across-the-board cuts that will bring about certain economic unrest."
"This is an invaluable opportunity for Congress and the president to get serious about overcoming partisan differences and enact policies that grow the economy and get the national debt under control. We stand ready to work with the president to find common ground on tax, spending, and entitlement reform to prevent the imminent fiscal cliff without damaging the economy."
"We've heard a lot of talk about revenues, but we have not heard much about spending cuts."
"The only thing worse than the fiscal cliff is kicking the can down the road again. If Obama comes up with reasonable spending cuts, a deal happens."
"Yes, although it may be more of a blueprint for the 'big deal' next year."
"The president is not yet serious. He thinks he has a mandate but doesn't realize he needs to compromise if a deal is going to get done."
Which party has more to lose if a deal isn't struck to avoid the fiscal cliff?
DEMOCRATS (21 votes)
Republicans: 76%
Democrats: 0%
Both: 24%
"Their intransigence against extending middle-class tax cuts and asking the rich to do their fair share is stunning."
"Obama won reelection; the people have spoken about whom they trust most."
"The Republicans' 'brand' as the party of fiscal brinkmanship is well established, for good reason."
"The American people know that the Republicans have been obstructionists, and they have more to lose."
"Republicans are likely to be blamed if a deal isn't struck, because they have been and will continue to be perceived as the obstacle to a deal by the public. Tea party Republicans in the House are still refusing to support a rise in rates for the wealthy. President Obama has expressed flexibility, as have most House and Senate Democrats. John Boehner is still insisting that he needs a majority of the majority for a deal, which leaves him at the mercy of the tea party."

Comments On Sep 02, 2015:The only reason I didn't give this tire a 5 star is because I don't have anything to compare it to. The tire seems to push under slow sharp turns but is great at high speeds.

Comments On Dec 22, 2014:I liked these so much I bought a second set for my sons quad.

Comments On Dec 12, 2014:These are overall a great tuff tire. No quite as light as you will see with a cut tire. But for a molded paddle they are still fairly light. IF you want a good all around sand tire that will still let you turn and slash these are a great choice.

Comments On Sep 26, 2014:This tire is great!! No comparison to the stock ones. Hook nice up dunes and traversing them sideways. If your thinking about getting these DO you'll never regret it!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 17, 2014:I had these tires with the rears for one summer now. I love them both. Only reason they get 4 stars is they grab a little more than some like. They are great for more techy climbs between trees but in 5th gear when you turn they grab very fast and hook hard. I don't race much sense my bike is stock so i love them. Will buy again. Also it took two dune trips for the hairs to start falling off, wear is very good I'm expecting season after season with these.

Comments On Apr 14, 2014:Ok great looking tires, but I am concerned with the load capacity. I have yet to take them in the sand but the RZR is heavier than a Quad and I have a feeling I might blow these tires out! We shall see.

Comments On Mar 14, 2014:when i had skates it was no big deal but when i switched to hauler extremes and i now run 10 paddle rippers in the rear it is almost impossible to steer.... until i bought these they are a great tire handle good no more throwing u back and forth and missing the turns they are a great product

In the last story, porn star turned director, Matt Stevens, channels a script of Anton's supposed demise and begins a seemingly cursed production. As it unfolds, the three stories, weave together a world begging to knowwhat is real?

R. Kelly 'Write Me Back': Listen to Singer's Soulful New Album
R. Kelly's 11th solo album, Write Me Back, has officially hit shelves, and The BoomBox has a stream of the entire album for fans.
The album, which features the lead single "Share My Love," and second single "Feelin' Single," was once again written and produced almost entirely by Kelly, continuing in the Philly soul and funk vein heard on his 2010 LP Love Letter, supported by smooth string arrangements, and an overall adult contemporary vibe.
Listen to the entire Write Me Back album here.

From BNSwiki
GLOMP is a sound made when something is consumed as a whole without taking a bite. Glomp is used in the following comics:
- In Comic 35 Steve swallows his inner demon after it had escaped.
- In Comic 69 Rupert Roach eats Beaver and Steve as they float down with a parachute.
- In Comic 126 Steve swallows a car full of people, seen in Comic 125.
- In Comic 235 Steve reluctantly eats a strawberry creme chocolate at the behest of a cultist.
Outside the realm of BnS, the not very widely known verb "to glomp" means something along the lines of "to tackle hug".

Comments: I received my monogrammed jar for my pets treats and was very surprised by how beautiful it turned out. The picture did not do it justice. I thought it would be bigger but it was so pretty that it didn't matter, it's still big enough.

Comments: Service was great! You guys did an amazing job with the packing, everything got to me in one piece. The spelling of our sweet dog's name was correct. The package came very quick. I actually used this jar for our dog's ashes! I will buy another for our other dog when the time comes. Thanks again!

If money was out of the equation, what would you spend the rest of your life doing?
Would you do the job you are currently doing for free? (Assuming the need for money did not exist?)
Feb 6 2013: I would focus my time helping to improve autism treatment and awareness, both for my son individually, and for all people and families affected by it.Feb 8 2013: I would travel the world, I'v never gotten to travel outside of the states, hopefully I will someday.
greg dahlen
Feb 7 2013: Kind of funny, because the way of life that interests me the most is self-sufficiency, where you grow your own food, build your own house, etc. Technically living this way you wouldn't use money.
- +2
Feb 8 2013: I like this kind of life style too Greg. When we are a little more self-sufficient, we are busy with the tasks of everyday living. My friends and I do a lot of bartering. In the summer, I'm busy in the gardens, growing food, and in the winter, busy hauling, stacking wood for the wood burning stoves, which need to be kept stoked......while I'm making much of my own food from garden veggies that were frozen. It gives me pleasure to not always be dependant on money for sustenance. Right now, I'm taking care of my neighbor's house and cat while they are traveling. He (age 82) supplies me with an abundance of wood for the stoves:>)
Feb 8 2013: I am out of thumbs up for you, but this is a beautiful image.
Feb 8 2013: It is a beautiful life Fritzie.....challenges and all!
Did you notice my response to one of your comments in this other discussion? It was so far removed from your comment, I thought you might not catch it.
I feel that it is connected to this discussion. Well......I see EVERYTHING as connected...LOL. I'm having fun today making roasted garlic bread, keeping the fires burning, and watching the beautiful snow fall:>)Feb 8 2013: You know, Colleen, I may idealize this lifestyle, when you actually describe it it sounds like a lot of work. Do you just drop into bed at the end of the day? Or maybe it's exhilirating?
Feb 8 2013: Hi Greg,
It is work/play...all a matter of perception and preference.....I LOVE it, and it's both exhilarating and exhausting:>)
I don't have to pay to go to a gym for exercise....in fact, for errands around town I bike or walk whenever possible. I also take time to bike/hike/ kayak in summer and ski in winter with my buddies. I don't have any trouble at all sleeping!!! LOL!
My life is simple and enjoyable, I don't have or need much money, I DO have a LOT of happiness/contentment. So, for me, it's a win/win/win work/play:>)Feb 8 2013: I had missed your reply. I didn't mean the feeling you highlight is hard to come by. I meant that for some people it seems contradictory to live with a positive sense of ones life while also dealing with the struggles and challenges we may confront or to which we may be commited with great energy.
Feb 8 2013: I agree Fritzie,
That's why I don't "struggle"....challenged....yes......struggle.....no.
I know it seems like a silly little usage of words, and I am aware that with our words, we program our mind. Change the words we use, we change our thinking, which may change our perceptions and feelings, which may change the life adventure for us...or not...it's a choice:>)Feb 6 2013: Right now I'm working as an assistant preschool teacher as a way to save up money for college, if I didn't have to worry about money it would give me an opportunity to get involved with something that I'm really passionate about. I know it sounds crazy, but I want to change the world. To spur positive change throughout is what I want to do with my life. When it comes to society as a whole there's lots of room for improvement, there are so many individuals all across the globe who want to help but without the financial means to do so. It saddens me to know that money is one of the only things standing in the way of progress. We can do so much better than this!
I like the idea of a world with out money, Jacque Fresco developed the term Resource Based Economy which is "a holistic socio-economic system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude". I think what this guy is doing is really cool, if it's something you want to look into you can find out more at: http://www.thevenusproject.com/
Feb 6 2013: wow, it was at least a month with no mentioning of the venus project. i started to forget about it.
Feb 6 2013: You are not counting, then, the often apparent zeitgeist movie-inspired versions of economics ad history but without specific attribution?
Feb 6 2013: do not ruin my mood :)Feb 6 2013: Dear Krisztián,
If you took my advice from the other conversation, you could decide exactly what mood you would like to experience regardless of circumstances!.........LOL:>)Feb 6 2013: Just out of curiousity, what are your thoughts on the Venus Project?
Feb 6 2013: the venus project is a mishmash of marxism, buzz-words and economic illiteracy.Feb 7 2013: Oh... I guess I should put more research into the stuff I put out there! I'll drop it at that :)
Comment deleted
Feb 6 2013: You are absolutely correct! Its been snowing on and off for the past few weeks so it's a little too cold out to be planting anything right now but I always get really excited whenever I have an opportunity to share something with the kids. A few weeks ago I talked with the little ones about recycling, we eventually made a paper bin in the classroom so we can start reusing the scraps for crafts!
I have a cousin doing something called unschooling with her boys and from my understanding it's a way to put the kids in charge of the curriculum, its really cool! There's a lot of opportunity for improvement in todays education system, I feel like students should be engaged in a way, not to accept everything as it is, but to question why things work the way they do, they should be encouraged to go out and search for the answers on their own as much as or even more than they should learn in school. To be honest, I learn as much from the children I work with as they learn from me. I think that's a good thing.Feb 6 2013: Jackson,
I'm with Kate on this.....you have a GREAT opportunity as an "assistant preschool teacher " to influence a LOT of lives every single day....HERE and NOW!
You say you want to " spur positive change throughout", and that goal is admirable. Start now, with each and every moment in each and every day:>) I like the fact that you recognize being engaged, learning, questioning, encouraging to seek answeres.
I LOVE the idea that you recognize the fact that you can learn as much from the children as they learn from you. My perception, is that we are all students and teachers in this earth school, and when we lovingly share information with respect and kindness, we all have the ability to learn from each other:>)
Feb 7 2013: Colleen,
Its seems like the internet is filled with strangers who want to make each other feel bad, yet both you and Kate Blake have really encouraged me, someone you've never even met in person before. I really appreciate everything you all have to say, I'm so thankful to have found a place like this.
Thank you so much!
Jackson Zachariah Vaughn
Feb 8 2013: Jackson,
Unfortunately, some folks have not discovered the pleasure and enjoyment that can be experienced with empowering others, rather than disempowering. It's really FUN to be encouraging and boost people in their life adventure.
Have you heard of the concept of "leveling"? People will often try to bring others to their "level" of security or insecurity. We tell each other a LOT about ourselves with each and every interaction.
I'm glad you found us too Jackson. The more encouraging, supportive people we have in our world, the better:>)Mar 4 2013: I would not do my current job; in fact I start a class action law suit for the hostile work environment they have created. I estimate 50+ % of the university employees would join.
To me there are three rules to being charitable:
1. Don't need it, or need as little as possible.
2. Save so you will never need it.
3. Give to those who strive to live by the three rules, and could with a little help.
Besides the common stuff for my own personal enjoyment, I build a work shop to invent and build item that would make the world better.
Plus I start a "hole in the wall" style charity http://www.ted.com/talks/sugata_mitra_build_a_school_in_the_cloud.html
Start by dropping off window caulking materials and tools in old & poor neighborhoods, if they use them next year I'll do other home insulation stuff. Also drop off herbs and spices seeds and again if they use them next year they get more herbs and vegetable plants.Mar 4 2013: TravelingFeb 7 2013: I have 9 more years of active service ( as a professional engineer dealing in river hydrology) left and I require the money to pay the mortgage of my new house. But I am actively developing the post retirement career (non-earning or earning, I do not really care) in writing for social cause. I have a blog and want to go pro after retirement. Plus I am already associated with a knowledge networking forum as honorary adviser and want to run a rural project in Himalayan mountains.Feb 6 2013: Hi Gabe,
If money was out of the equation, what would you spend the rest of your life doing?
Exactly what I am doing:>)
Would you do the job you are currently doing for free?
I am retired now, and with the exploration of the life adventure, I often did jobs for free. For example, I started auditioning/performing in community musical theater as a hobby....a way to get back to music. Within a short time, I was asked to do TV commercials and print ads, which I did for no pay, or very little pay. I was having fun.....I LOVED the adventure! Soon I was asked to audition for professional theater groups, and I did so many tv ads for nothing, I was overexposed locally. So, I went to Boston, got an agent, and made it a profession for about 10 years. It started as a hobby for fun and no pay.....ended up as a very lucrative career.
When my wasband (was my husband) and I were young, we bought several very old decrepid apartment buildings, renovated and restored them, and rented apartments for years, which I maintained and managed. I didn't officially get paid for any of that until I sold them 30 years later. We speculated that the investment would pay off in the future, but who the hell knew for sure?
I was volunteering with the dept. of corrections, when one of the staff recommended me to fill in for a person with the dept. of social and rehabilitive services who was going on maternity leave. The volunteer work (which I did for about 6 years) was not paid, the position with SRS, reviewing the cases of children in state custody was lucrative.
I liked restoring/recycling/ fixing old furniture, and while wasband and I were restoring our 1850s home, I bought, restored and fixed the furniture for the house......that turned into a little antique business.....
I LOVE gardening and give lots of plants away....well.....you know the story by now! LOL:>)
This happened throughout my life adventure....start something for love/hobby, and it turned into a lucrative career/business.Feb 6 2013: I would guess that more often than not it would be a similar thing.Feb 5 2013: kidding me? sure not. i was moving to england, settle down near fat duck, eat there every day, and work on my many hobby projects.

Problems of idealism; Is there such a thing as an unnecessary question?
As the old age sentiment goes, "Dear student, there is no such thing as a dumb question."
I think most of us would agree that in fact there most definitely is. Throughout the average day we might come across a few of these redundant, repetitive, or intentionally idiot,/misleading (yes, some people ask obvious questions for reasons other than actually wanting to know the answer) ramblings spouted by our coworkers, students, peers, etc. For example, there is always the individual in a meeting or classroom that, for some reason, always seems to miss the direction or content of every other sentence.
These instances aside, though, could there possibly be this sort of phenomena occurring in philosophical discourse?
The types of questions I am referring to merit the labeling of "philosophical mind games." We can look to the instances of most of our first encounters with "philosophical thinking" for examples of what I'm speaking about; "Whoa bro, what would happen if I took a picture, of a picture, of a picture?, or "What if we're all dreaming right now and when we think we're having dreams, we're having dreams within dreams?". These youthful utterances are usually followed by the phrase "That's deep."
Admittedly, the first encounters with infinite regressions spark the intellectual engines and we have ridden into more sophisticated scopes of inquiry. I must also note that the philosophical spirit of questioning is very valuable and I in no way am arguing for the lack of this or diminishment of creativity.
But I find these sorts of questions quite dangerous when used for the foundation of philosophical paradigms. Solipsism, for eg., by exploiting perceptive limitation, comes to the ridiculous conclusion that there is nothing outside of ourselves. This similarly occurs with argument for idealism.
Could we not entertain these ideas as students of philosophy and critical thinkers without taking them any more seriously than a critical thinking exercise?
Sep 10 2013: Necessity is a function of the prevailing conditions, not an absolute marker. We can only evaluate the necessity (or validity, or relevance) of a question if we can understand the context in which it is asked. Is the questioner a child? If not exactly a child, what is the questioner's level of sophistication or maturity? What is the purpose of the question? How does that purpose meet the needs of the situation in which it is asked? Who gets to make the determination that a particular question in a particular circumstance is necessary or appropriate?
One of the first steps in any philosophical inquiry (or, for that matter any scientific, aesthetic, moral/ethical, or pragmatic inquiry) is to determine the parameters, to define and qualify the boundaries. This not only provides a basis for identifying necessary and appropriate questions, it provides a basis for further discussion, criticism, and re-examination of the process and conclusions of the inquiry.
Sep 10 2013: Yes, David, I know.
I realize that the comments below are lengthy and that you might have not had the to skim through them, but let me clarify the context for which, in this case, i'm asserting that questions that lead to fantastical flapdoodle are unnecessary ones. Let's not play semantics with this one, David.
Here are the conditions by which, and have discussed in other comments, I am arguing that these sorts of questions are, if not unnecessary (they might be if we argue that by definition, philosophy asks us to consider all sides) they are counterproductive.
Although I used many examples throughout the comments, let's use Deepak Chopra's "Quantum quackery" for this example:
1) The questioner isn't a child.
2) The questioners self-proclaimed level of sophistication is at the highest level in academia, a doctorate degree--although, his degree is in Endocrinology and not Physics. He also claims to have Philosophical merit at the highest degree. (Deepak is a generalization for many mystics I have encountered. I have 3 professors at my university who spout the same non-sense about Quantum Theory but have not even the slightest clue about the physics behind their claims.)
3)Purpose: to undermine Western Science's Materialism, to confabulate Eastern Spirituality and Western Science (Physics) in order to promote New Age mysticism, In Deepak's case--to make millions off of book sales and lectures off of his bestselling alternative to traditional religion.
4)"Who gets to determine that a particular question in a particular circumstance..." Well, because Mystics invoke both philosophy and western science to support their claims, the authority within the discipline gets to make this determination. The authority in both these circumstances happen to be a community of people rather than an individual.
David, your definition of inquiry is great. It is thorough , clear, and concise. I agree with you fully.
Now that I have defined the parameters, where do you stand?
Sep 10 2013: I don't think it's "playing semantics" to point out what I see as a problem with how the question is asked. (To be honest, though, I am retired professor of communication with a particular interest in semantics.) The questions I asked were, of course, illustrative, not exhaustive with respect to possible considerations of context.
There is still the reality that different authorities within any discipline might disagree as to the relevance or validity or need of any question or the argued answers to that question. It is the rare thinker, however, who can understand the complexities of significantly different disciplines well enough to effectively combine them. This doesn't mean that the questions are necessarily ridiculous or nonsensical, only that they need scrutiny that has the same kinds of cross-disciplinary expertise they claim as support.
I guess what I'm saying is that I have no quarrel with your criticism of the specific questions or arguments when you ground those criticisms in your disciplinary perspective. I might argue, though, that it is not the questions that are at fault it is the shallowness or bias or lack of intellectual honesty of the questioners that wastes our time.
Sep 10 2013: David,
I concede on the issue with the wording. Another TED commentator made this same point.
"...it is not the questions that are at fault it is the shallowness or bias or lack of intellectual honestly of the questioners that wastes our time."
This is perfect, David. It encapsulates what is essentially my point. The reason I had to tread carefully, though, is because i'm accustomed to arguing with people who won't admit that some extrapolations of philosophy and science are ridiculous in the first place. At that point i run into relativist and pluralists who refuse to scrutinize anyone. If you see what I mean, I am used to having to jump multiple hurdles before even discussing criticism within a context-whether it be an academic discipline or not. I must say I am quite excited to be speaking with someone who places the same value on intellectual honesty and coherence-as you demonstrated in your first post and description above.
Again, I concede to the lack of clarity in the question itself.
Thanks David,
edward long
Sep 7 2013: Rhetoric, Logic's high-strung sibling, is replete with examples of redundant, verbose, extraneous, surreptitiously manipulative applications of language. Most assuredly there are unnecessary questions. I propose this example of an unnecessary (rhetorical) question: "If there were no unnecessary questions then all questions would, by definition, be necessary. Thus no subject could be epistemologically validated because it is not possible to know every question which could be asked. So, isn't Solopsism validated by the irrationality of the existence of unnecessary questions?"
- +2
Sep 7 2013: "So, isn't Solopsism validated by the irrationality of the existence of unnecessary questions?"
I would say that Solipsism is a way for idealist and (some) contemplatives to cling on to the value of subjectivity in the face of objectivity. As Bertrand Russell mentioned, there is really no reason to believe that things external to your subjectivity do not exist.
I'm with Shawn on this one, I think there can be some philosophical questions that are great to get the mind thinking but really serves no purpose to philosophy (or the world). Such questions are great for critical thinking but I don't think it should be taken seriously outside the classroom.
Sep 7 2013: I posed the question about Solopsism as an example of an unnecessary question, not as an argument for what I believe.Sep 7 2013: Edward,
1) I find your insight quite on the nature of language and logic quite compelling, but I must admit that I didn't expect anyone to take too seriously the beginning part of my post.
To ask you a question though; would it be sound to assert that a multiplicity of outcomes, or at least the possibility of multiple answers-one right? and many wrong-for questions concerning the natural world for example, be necessary? At least in conventional epistemology. And does the necessity of possibilities in epistemology necessitate the existence or possibility naturally, physically, or metaphysically?
2) As for the discussion I was expecting to have on this topic, I was pressing the issue of questioning physicality. This is very common in debates on modern mysticism and idealism that I'm sure you're aware of. Do we have any reason, other than by merit of necessarily assuming that antitheses exist, for doubting physicality?
Sep 7 2013: I fail to see how the question, "Is there such a thing as an unnecessary question?" invites comments on physicality. I misinterpreted the topic. I am outta here! Sorry for the distraction.
Sep 7 2013: I'm asserting that questioning materialism is an unnecessary question. Therefore physicality is in question.Sep 8 2013: RE: "I'm asserting that. . .". OK, I lied, I'm not outta here. Do you agree it would clarify this debate to rephrase your question to something like: "Is Materialism Unassailable?". I think you would get more succinct repsponses. Do you believe Materialism is unassailable?
Sep 8 2013: I agree, as I replied to Fritzie above, that the question should have been asked differently. I explained that this was a reposted question that was previously on my blog and which was written for a very different audience.
No. It clearly is. What i'm asserting Is that after taking materialism into thorough consideration and understanding our perceptual shortcomings, we can then entertain solipsism, idealism, mysticism, etc. and immediately realize that we've gone far off track,Sep 8 2013: RE: "I agree. . . ". Sorry to make you repeat yourself. I should read all the responses, but I don't always. Aha! The Holy Grail of Epistemology-- "...after taking materialism into thorough consideration and understanding our perceptual shortcomings...". When will I ever fathom my perceptual shortcomings? When will I perform a thorough consideration of anything? Someday perhaps. For now I see through a glass darkly. How far off-track I am at any moment is no easier to learn than the necessary answers I seek. This is a debate and my argument is that consistent application of information I accept as Justified True Belief supports the conclusion that consciousness is linked to the Material, and the assertions of opposing arguments are categorically irrational.
Sep 8 2013: I think I can agree that some position of optimal awareness is unlikely, but do we need this in order to rule out the possibility of Idealism?
I'm afraid i'm in the dark when it comes to your system of thought. Seems like you have your own approach to knowledge. Could you elaborate?Sep 8 2013: RE: "I think I can agree. . . ". Well, if you are in the dark then we may not be that far apart! I have no system of thought. My go-to reference for philosophy debates and conversations is http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/linguistics-and-philosophy/24-00-problems-in-philosophy-fall-2010/lecture-notes/
AND http://plato.stanford.edu/Sep 8 2013: Yet if we know how to identify philosophical paradigms and learned to question them, I don't see any danger in those at all. By this we can freely dive into them and choose what sparks our own philosophical interest to reflect on it.
This way is becomes less likely to get stuck into pit-falls of any paradigm in general, which to me is one of the basic qualities a 'critical thinker' develops.
On infinite regressions it may just help to take a look into fractal geometry, or the next cauliflower on our plates to enjoy its beauty (and taste) and this without the risk of getting 'loop trapped' ... :o)
Sep 8 2013: Lejan,
"Yet if we know how to identify...and learned to question them, I don't see any danger in them at all."
The problem here, then, is not you and I failing to see that some of these paradigms are faulty, but that they continued without sufficient scrutiny. Not necessarily philosophers, who are subject to peer review, etc., but those popularizing sorts that are hijacking philosophy and science in order to support the principles of their self-help conferences.
Furthermore, these Mystics and Idealism are self-proclaimed academics and philosophers. Here, I think it is the duty of the philosophical and scientific community to protect it's integrity.
"this way it becomes less likely to get stuck..."
Absolutely. But we have to be careful here. We cannot immediately assume that paradigms other than are own are erroneous and lack rigor by the implication that critical thinkers would know better. Some of the Idealists and mystic I'm taking issue with are incredible rigorous and intelligent.
So how is it we can criticize these individuals? Especially in the instance that they deny a material universe?
If they do not accept science or logic what language could we possibly speak in to persuade them of their errors?
This is why I find the questioning itself so problematic. It allows for these types on individuals to develop all-encompassing systems which are irrefutable due to tricky wording and awkward premises and we lose them forever.
Sep 9 2013: Peer review in philosophy as a 'duty of the philosophical and scientific community to protect it's integrity.'?
That would be a soft framing for hard censorship!
Philosophy is about the freedom of minds and the right to be wrong while using this freedom.
It is about dispute and argumentation for those who are interested in it, and to exchange minds on subjects which can not be captured and examined under reproducible lab conditions.
Philosophy is opinion, points of view constructed and argued on belief and therefore no subject to run our true/false algorithms on them.
Don't try to persuade those whose 'errors' can only be supposed and therefore impossible to be proven.
Just don't feel threatened by 'these types of individuals' if you don't share their views. Don't try to keep them. Stay friendly, and let them go ...
Thats the beauty of pluralism!
Sep 9 2013: 1) I think you misunderstand the goal of philosophy
2) Freedom, yes. Intellectual Dishonestly, no. Calibrated by the discipline. IF psychics and new age "woo-woo"- as Michael Shermer calls- wasn't trying to be passed off as philosophy or science, I'd have no issue with it. Other than, of course, it's deliberate manipulation of individuals, their emotions, and their money.
3) Relativism is more dangerous than you might think.
4) Relativism and pluralism aren't interchangeable for "tolerance"Sep 9 2013: Fair enough for you to disagree with me.Sep 9 2013: how about to give an absolute definition to the ethics for might give a real definition to the critics.
Sep 9 2013: An absolute definition on ethics denies its very nature, its necessity for change, on which criticism is a vital and valid motivator.
And who would be able to define such undefinable?
Sep 9 2013: an ethical critics can be an absolute ethics for the critics and us.Sep 9 2013: By my understanding of ethics and the meaning of absolute I can not agree on what you said, but if the concept of an 'absolute ethics' comforts you, thats fine with me.
Sep 9 2013: i thank you for your compassion to the absolute but the flexibillity is needed here more Sir,how about *an ethical flexibilty to the critics which make it an absolute flexible ethics for the critics ?Sep 9 2013: 'Absolute flexible ethics'? Agreed! :o)
Sep 9 2013: thank you for your flexibility it's like first just our principals for the absolute ,it's look like perfection ,what we are far from it like human but it can be perfect from us together one day :)Sep 9 2013: Its 'us together' what I wish for us humans, which doesn't mean to become all the same. :o)
Sep 10 2013: a lovely joke can be better than biggest dream :)Sep 13 2013: You have something against metaphysics i see :P
I think we need more inefficiency in our current society, we often do much without a thought of why or a time to reflect on what has been done.
I agree with you if you are seeking a balance been unproductive thought and productive action, if you exist in a constant state of inquiry you are not going to the next necessary step of experimentation which necessitates a "solution" to the inquiry.Sep 8 2013: change the topic plz ,cause philosophy without critical to everythings it's like kidding !,even your talk can be philosophical your suggestion * don't take it seriously* i'll not take your talk suriously like same what you will doing i wish and if you don't believe me ask Kant :)
Sep 8 2013: huh?
I'm sure you mean well man, but I can't really understand your point. If you are saying that I should apply my own question to my question then I would say people like you are exactly the problem.
Sep 8 2013: if you are sure about it what is your question plz? ,
i tell you something about philosophy for me it's my passion like chess if you believe that you must respect my favorite game plz respect my favorite life.
unnecessary question :it's the question that the goal will give back nothing good to our future.
necessary question :what can ask about anything but nothing will change it faith.
the truth i am telling you by my-self ,we are just in learning ,our learning is deserved for a honorable us we'll be.wish you wise life full unnecessary questions from your beloved to keep your smiling lengthy:)
Sep 8 2013: Philosophy is also my passion. I am taking it as a major at my university and plan to do graduate work as well.
I'm still not sure what your argument is. Can you give me the title of what you want me to read by Kant?Sep 8 2013: I too have noticed that some of these ideas tend to be extrapolated in a way that logic cannot sustain to bizarre conclusions. Once they dismiss physical evidence simply as artifact, people often convince themselves that any speculation or fantasy is as likely or real as any other. From there I have seen people argue that people can imagine anything they choose into actual being and then to claim this conclusion is supported by modern science.
If people act in certain ways based on conclusions they draw from a line of questioning or inquiry, can you call it "practically meaningless?"
Sep 8 2013: Fritzie,
This is exactly my point. I have a problem when self-proclaimed mystics like Deepak Chopra claimsthat rocks have consciousness, or that we could in fact be rocks with consciousness. It's a ridiculous extrapolation from the philosophical mind games I'm referring to in my post. One minute they question physicality, and the next moment consciousness is the ground of being. Popularized mysticism of this sort has been a detriment to philosophy in my opinion and when Quantum mechanics is invoked, it is a detriment to science.
To answer your question, I guess it couldn't be "practically meaningless" given that individuals could act upon their beliefs "practically", but this is merely a semantic error on my part. Maybe we could work together to come up with an accurate term for these erroneous sorts of conclusions together?
What we can agree on is that it is problematic when people use these lines of reasoning to found their world-views.
Sep 8 2013: I understand your concern. Do you think that posing your question as "are there unnecessary questions?" may have diverted your discussion from your primary interest?
It sounds now as if you are asking how to discuss particular kinds of philosophical ideas that tend to mislead or distract people from valuable learning.
Sep 8 2013: Yes I do think I could've presented the problem more carefully. I had posted this as a question on my personal blog and transferred it over here so I could have a good discussion. My blog audience and the TED audience are very different so next time i'll structure the introduction accordingly.Sep 8 2013: You can go back up and change your explanatory narrative to make it more focused on your interest.
People edit their words often for such a reason.
Sep 8 2013: I'll work on that a bit later as I get a feel for where the multiple conversations are going. For now, you and a few others are up to speed on the direction I meant for this post.
Could you elaborate on some of your thoughts on the questioning of materialism?
Fritzie -
Sep 8 2013: I will mostly need to leave this for others, but I think questioning whether anything is material is different from questioning whether everything is material.
- +1
I think people should pursue for themselves whatever questioning helps them make sense of their lives. My concern is the way some special interests seize upon and sell to others scenarios that are not supported by research or reason and pretend that their position is the latest science (that scholars deny out of self-interest).
That direction in popular culture- that sort of "capture"- prevents large numbers of non-specialists from keeping up with what modern science, for example, actually suggests. A division arises, then, between those who get the advantage of formal education in such areas and those who don't and may be completely misled.
I have no issues at all with conclusions drawn and articulated as matters of faith but only those which pretend to consistency with the findings of contemporary science as practiced by scientists trained in the disciplines in which they do their research.
Sep 8 2013: 1)Agreed.
2) I think your first sentence is extremely important. The spirit of questioning and the spirit of curiosity are essential, there's no denying this. I should also clarify that mind-bending and challenging discussions on substance and "Ultimate Reality" both expand the depths of critical thinking skills, spatial conceptualization skills, and broaden the horizon of possibility for philosophy students or general readers. The problem is when the ideas are taken far out of the classroom. Maybe some of this is a pedagogical error? Is it possible that some professors might not make it clear that some concepts are just for exercise?
3) As for the self-interested deceivers, I agree that it is reprehensible.
But we must admit that some of the individuals spouting the claims actually believe what they say. To me it seems a bit of basic philosophical thinking gone awry and that is the point of this blog.
4) Agreed. I strongly believe an effort needs to be made, on all fronts but most urgently in the sciences and in philosophy, to disseminate information. The average joe should be armed with the critical thinking skills and basic science topics necessary to be prepared to assess fantastic claims. Don't get me wrong here, I'm saying people are ignorant or ranting in a condescending tone. This is more an education reform type idea. I surely knew nothing about quantum mechanics or epistemology a few years ago and would've been a victim like many othersSep 8 2013: If an idea is not to be "taken far out of the classroom," I would have to question its value. Everything in the classroom should be relevant to life and thought outside the classroom.
You are right that those who spread their understanding of things typically believe what they spread. Some ought to know better, though,
Sometimes critical thinking is not enough. There are certain areas in which people will tend not to have confidence and will either defer to authority or see red flags of warning because they are aware of how many people pretend to expertise in those areas. You gave quantum mechanics as an example. There are also many false claims about neuroscience. There is a TED talk by a neuroscientist on this subject that has the word "neurobunk" in its title. Here: http://www.ted.com/talks/molly_crockett_beware_neuro_bunk.html
Sep 8 2013: 1) I agree. That's essentially why i'm arguing for disclaimers to be attached to philosophy "bunk" as Ms. Crockett would have it. I was being careful not to outright dismiss things like idealism and solipsism; it would be a shame for it not to be taught. I would have to argue that nearly everything considered in an educational context is relevant to thought, at least in the sense that a student could compare viewpoints and lines of reasoning to that which he/she considers rational.
You also seemed to misunderstand what I meant by "taken out of the classroom." When some thing is intended to be taught as an exercise or as an example of irrational thinking, it is taken out of the classroom and applied to daily life in the sense that individuals "know better" than to take a position defending it.
2) I didn't argue that critical thinking was enough, but it sure is better than no framework at all. Most of us in academia, at least in science and philosophy, have embraced taking reputable authorities' word for it because of the reality of specialization. But before we do, we at least verify that the authority we look to is adhering to the rules that we've agreed provide the most un-biased and accurate conclusions within the given subject.
3) Although the problem of general knowledge is outside of what I can argue for, leave that to Ken Robinson and other education reformers, It seems that academic and scientific authority figures need to pay more close attention to the problem were speaking about.
Now, i'm not arguing for "scientism" or "atheism" in general, but popularizers of philosophy and science such as Bertrand Russell, Carl Sagan, Sam Harris, etc. who write books in a format understandable for academics and the people and take on folk-authority figures like Deepak Chopra do a service to both the people and academia. Would you agree?
Fritzie -
Sep 8 2013: Those in science and the academy are extremely well aware of the problem of popular misconceptions, pseudoscience, and so forth that you describe.
- +1
Some address the matter head on in, say, TED talks or talks for Edge or other venues. Others simply say no to the many requests they receive from journals and conferences that do not adhere to the normal standards of rigor or method of reputable journals and otherwise devote their talents and creative energy to pushing the boundaries of their fields. In my opinion., we need many of our most brilliant scientists to focus on doing research and teaching and mentoring their students.
Sep 9 2013: 1) yes, I know.
2) I agree. But being a public intellectual requires just as much brilliance as being an efficient scientist. Those who have the talent of speaking, teaching, and public engagement are contributing to the cause in a way tantamount in value to that of a lab scientist. But we really shouldn't be debating this point. We both agree that regardless of where they do it, in the classroom, for academic journals, or publicly, there are those with legitimate authority-those that should be doing it. Again, though, it seems an unnecessary point to diverge upon.
The most important part is that we agree on the value of sound and verifiable fact and it's place of value intellectually and practically.
What I'm trying to illustrate is the sort of trickle down effect of the "unnecessary question" in the first place. Without taking the "bunk" seriously in the first place, there wouldn't be an army of New Age Mystics calling for the downfall of western science and the integration of mass-meditation to cure cancer.Sep 7 2013: Shawn, are you looking for what kinds of questions one might classify as not fruitful in the sense of providing no practical leverage, or are you asking specifically whether questioning physicality is fruitful?

Seven of 11 senators on the Senate Finance Committee voted in favor of a bill to incentivize the development of an offshore wind farm, catapulting the bill past a hurdle over which it has stumbled the past two years.
In previous years, the offshore wind bill, a centerpiece of Gov. Martin O'Malley's environmental agenda, has stalled in the committee, where members raised concerns over costs to customers and whether minority businesses would have a place in the nascent wind industry.
O'Malley's bill will allow the Public Service Commission to approve a developer to build a 200-megawatt wind farm 10 to 30 miles off the coast of Ocean City but only if that project will cost the average residential customer no more than $1.50 per month.
Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Calvert, Prince George's) rearranged committee assignments to ensure that the bill would make it out of committee, placing Sen. Victor R. Ramirez (D-Prince George's) onto the Finance Committee and moving Sen. C. Anthony Muse (D-Prince George's) from Finance to the Judicial Proceedings Committee. Ramirez is a co-sponsor of the bill.
Committee Chairman Thomas "Mac" Middleton (D-Charles), who co-sponsored the bill and led it through his committee after more than two years spent working on it, expects the Senate to take up the measure following debate over legislation to repeal the death penalty, scheduled for Tuesday. Middleton said the bill is an improvement over the one that O'Malley (D) first proposed in 2011, with more consumer protections and clearer language regarding studies that must be completed to ensure the project is of economic interest. Ratepayers could see their energy bills go up as much as $1.50 month but not until the windmills actually start producing energy.
The senator expressed confidence that the bill would pass the full Senate.
"I think we're really good," he said.
The Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative opposed the bill for the third straight year due to the "increased cost impact that it would have on our customer members," said spokesman Tom Dennison, who also expects the bill to clear the Senate.
"From a fundamental standpoint, anytime a bill comes forward that is going to cost our customers money, we tend to oppose it on those grounds," he added.
But the committee vote drew praise from environmental groups for its members and Middleton, in particular.
"Chairman Middleton and members of the Finance Committee crafted a policy over the last two years that works for Maryland," Chesapeake Climate Action Network Director Mike Tidwell said in a statement. "The Maryland offshore wind bill crossed a big hurdle today on its way to creating jobs, improving public health and greatly expanding the fight against climate change. This bill will put Maryland in the forefront of the nation's emerging offshore wind industry."
"This is a great day for our future, for our kids and for our climate. Maryland has so much to gain by moving towards real energy solutions like offshore wind power, and we have so much to lose by not doing so," Environment Maryland Director Tommy Landers said in the statement. "Climate change is only becoming more intense, and Maryland remains one of the most vulnerable states to its impacts. The Chesapeake Bay needs us to transition to clean energy, and so do our future generations. Many thanks to the Finance Committee, and thanks especially to Chairman Middleton for leading this bill and doing what's right for our state and our future."

Who is the most interesting TED Fellow you have seen on TED.com or met in person?
The TED Fellows program helps world-changing innovators from around the globe become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
Learn more here: http://www.ted.com/pages/view/id/241
And you can watch more Fellows talks that are not on ted.com here:
For example (list continued below):
Feb 11 2011: Having sat next to Kyra Gaunt at TEDWomen -- I am interested in everything she has to say :) But it's hard to pick "most interesting." Everyone in the program is just really interesting in different ways.
Feb 16 2011: Have you heard her album? You can find on Amazon and iTunes. It's sublime.Feb 11 2011: Alexander MacDonald was interesting. Economy in space, I like that.
Feb 16 2011: Indeed he is the Alan Greenspan of asteroids : ).Feb 14 2011: Since it is really difficult to pick just one because there're many fileds of action and really many interesting people in the TED Fellows program, I'll pick the most interesting I've met in person: 1) high-altitude archaeologist Constanza Ceruti (specializes in exploring and excavating Inca Empire ceremonial centers on the summits of sacred Andean mountains) 2) Faisal Chohan (entrepreneur and innovator, building bridges for solving community problemas), 3) Camilo Rodriguez-Beltran (bridging work in the intersection of Art and Science), 4) Erika Bagnarelo and 5) Taghi Amirani --filmmakers I admire. There are many more working on architecture, sustainable design, etc. also doing great and meaningful works...
Feb 16 2011: Great choices all. Faisal has worked this year to implement pakrelief.org based on Ushahidi.com tech for Pakistan floods, IN ADDITION to his full-time job and caring for his family.
Kelo Kubu
Feb 13 2011: William Kamkwamba. I met William in Arusha Tanzania in 2007. What he has been able to do between then and now is incredible. He is a true inspiration to a lot of young people in Africa.
- +1
Juliana Rotich. I like what Juliana and her team have been able to do with Ushahidi.
Feb 16 2011: Needless to say, I'm completely biased. An update: he'd in the middle of winter term (re: freezing and snow) at Dartmouth and is thriving. Having a blast building projects for the engineering class, and doing very well in English class to boot. (He has the hardest teacher in the school, but also one of the best). On vacation days he speaks to raise money to rebuild school buildings in his village.Feb 12 2011: William Kamkwamba and Juliana Machado Ferreira, Truly humbled by both and so happy to have met them.
Feb 16 2011: Juliana is a force of nature. She's almost done with her Ph.D. Then I give her two weeks to become president of Brazil. : )Feb 11 2011: I think many of them;
so I'll say Rachel Armstrong, James Patten, Cesar Harada, Raffael Lomas, to name a few....
more soon
Feb 16 2011: Each of them in the intersection between art and technology.Feb 11 2011: I am a huge fan of Evgeny Morozov!
Feb 16 2011: Evgeny has found himself right in the middle of the Zeitgeist. Is his thesis, which he expounded in the Net Delusion true? or can social media bring about a revolution. I think the answer is probably both.Feb 19 2011: I met and talked with Angelo Vermeulen
And I was surprised (baffled) to discover there exists a sceptical mangaka in this world: Sara MayhewFeb 17 2011: Juliana Machado Ferreira !! Met her at TED in Long Beach and I'm in awe of the great work she is doing.Feb 16 2011: Can't pick a favorite -- but SUPER excited to meet the next class of Fellows in Long Beach next week! Meet them here: http://www.ted.com/pages/view/id/552
