EP58 | Woke Postmodern Paradox Nov 11, 2024

Explores the conflict between modern liberalism, which historically championed anti-racism, anti-sexism, and individual rights, and the contemporary "Woke" movement, which paradoxically rejects liberalism despite similar goals. Rooted in postmodern skepticism, Wokism emerged from a mistrust of objective truths and traditional structures, instead promoting power dynamics and subjective truths. The author categorizes Wokism into four main strands—Anti-modern Woke, The Great Awokening, Dictatorship of the Woketariat, and Motte-and-Bailey Wokists—each rejecting various aspects of liberalism and embracing distinct philosophies. The tension between reasoned liberal ideals and Woke ideology’s reliance on power and relativism has led to ongoing cultural battles, with postmodernism’s influence hollowing out the Enlightenment’s achievements and leaving a fragmented intellectual landscape.

EP57 | Does Kant Matter Oct 21, 2024

How do we educate students for jobs that do not exist yet? Education is preparation for life, and one’s work is a major component of life. Yet the data indicate that the workplace is transforming dramatically. The number of people working in mature and large corporations has declined. The companies that now top the Fortune 500 list are relative newcomers, as most were entrepreneurial start-ups in this generation. Advancements in robotics indicate that jobs requiring repetitive manual labor will become fewer, and advancements in artificial intelligence indicate that jobs requiring low-level intellectual labor will also become fewer. Thus, more people will be working in entrepreneurial firms, and their work will be more higher-level cognitive and creative. At the same time, we educators cannot predict what entrepreneurial firms will come into existence in this generation or what domains of creative and higher-level cognitive effort they will require. So we educators face the challenge of preparing this generation of young people for more demanding kinds of work, to work in more entrepreneurial firms, or even for becoming entrepreneurs themselves. That poses a philosophical and strategic challenge for education: How should we do that?

EP#55 | Jordan Peterson's Religion Nov 15, 2021

Where do we find the meaning of life? In answering that question, we look to Professor Jordan Peterson a man with a foot in two worlds. He is a man of science, proficient in the biological bases of psychology and the developments of psychology as an applied science.

EP #52 | A Conversation with Will Knowland Aug 10, 2021

Will Knowland was removed from his role at the prestigious Eton College after posting a lecture on Youtube challenging the third wave modern feminist concept 'toxic masculinity'. Knowland was sacked after he repeatedly refused requests from the college's head master Simon Henderson to take the video down. The video, called the Patriarchy paradox, has been viewed more than 100,000 times and is a refutation of claims outlined by some third wave feminists. Due to the perceived controversy Mr. Knowland’s wife has also been targeted and fired from her job rendering the couple technically homeless. Mr. Knowland’s argument that children need to understand all sides of an argument and his belief that young boys should not allow themselves to feel shame for being boys, has been ignored by the prestigious Eton school head master.

EP #50 | Objectivity for Human Beings Jul 05, 2021

Even though we humans have lots of knowledge, we do not necessarily have a good and full theory of knowledge. Yet we should not let the lack of a good theory, deny the existence of what the theory should be explaining. Humans have cognitive faculties with limitations. One can form snap judgments, but one can also recognize and pursue the objective principle of viewing as many perspectives as is necessary. One learns about one’s cognitive limitations over time, so one learns that to make a judgment about something beyond one’s immediate cognitive limitation, one needs to do extra work.

EP #48 | Schooling to Develop or Stunt Kids’ Potential? Mar 01, 2021

We say we want children to grow to be self-reliant, creative problem-solving adults. But in schooling kids, do we follow through on that? Do schools teach independence of mind and action or do students learn compliance? Do students learn that life is about solving new problems or are they instructed that authorities have the answers? Do students learn experimentalism and that success typically comes after much failure or do they learn that failure is a source of shame? Does our education system stunt kid’s potential?

EP #47 | The Robots Will Free Us Jan 07, 2021

The impact from the development of automation and artificial intelligence technologies will be significant and perhaps more significant than any previous technological revolutions.

EP #45 | Slavery’s Greatest Enemies Nov 03, 2020

One the great moral achievements of history is the near-elimination of slavery. In contrast to popular narratives, west and east African kingdoms practiced slavery extensively, both for internal purposes and for external sale to Arabs, who for centuries had transported African slaves to Asia and Europe. East and south Asians had also practiced slavery extensively for millennia. Native Americans also had slaves and other forms of forced labor. How then did humanity evolve to understand that slavery is abhorrent and should be outlawed for the good of humanity. Who if anyone can claim credit for this monumental achievement?

EP #43 | Nietzsche’s Natural Slaves and Masters Oct 01, 2020

Where does morality come from? Are moral codes conscious formulations of one’s needs and interests? Nietzsche is one of the great critics of human psychology asserting that we have a widespread weakness and asks what are the origins of this widespread weakness? Should we all in contrast "Live dangerously?" How does Nietzsche’s scorn for Plato, Christians, Kant and the welfare state intersect with the two main audiences his work attracts? Dr. Hicks critiques these and many other questions surrounding Nietzsche philosophy on slave morality and altruism.

EP #39 | God: The “Evil” Argument Jun 30, 2020

The standard conception of God that is offered to us by theists suggest there are three major features of interest: God is said to be omnipotent or all-powerful, omniscient or all-knowing, and omnibenevolent or all-good. However, if the God who created the world is supposed to be all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, why did he create a world in which so much evil exists? And not only why did he create a world with so much evil in it, why did he create a world with any evil in it at all? An all-powerful, all-knowing, completely good creator of the universe would not have created an imperfect world with evil in it or would he?

EP #36 | Democratic Socialism for Beginners May 11, 2020

EP #36 | Democratic Socialism for Beginners In contemporary times, most socialists have shifted away from overtly dictatorial socialism. Among the younger, there is some level of awareness of its terrible history but they still think of it as an ideal to be striven for despite obvious concerns. What are the aims of democratic socialist, what do they wish to achieve and how will they achieve their goals? Should socialism be Monarchical, Aristocratic, or Democratic? Who should have power over you: one person? An elite group? The majority?

EP #31 Hazony Attacks the Enlightenment Jan 13, 2020

On December 30th 2019, the YouTube channel Prager University released a video narrated by bible scholar and political theorist Yoram Hazony discussing the Enlightenment. Hazony makes eight major claims about the Enlightenment and while there are some thoughtful arguments against the Enlightenment, Hazony has not made them. In this episode of Open College, Dr. Hicks points out the flaws in Hazony’s augments and shows why this video is an example of special-pleading history.

EP #30 | The Real Scrooge Dec 22, 2019

We all know the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge. Or do we? At least 20 movie versions of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol have been produced, along with innumerable stage plays and live reading. Who was Ebenezer Scrooge? Was his character the Villain according to Socialism, the Homo Economicus and Savvy Investor, the hero of the Anti-Over-Commercialized-Christmas crowd?

#29 War on Socialism Nov 05, 2019

William James was a leading American philosopher who lived at the turn of the 20th century. In his essay the Moral Equivalent of War, James describes himself as a socialist and pacifist and is very disgusted with the human history of war and is looking for a solution. This essay, while thoughtful and well argued is to my mind, highly objectionable. Here is why.

#27 Money You Should Love Oct 07, 2019

Money is one of the greatest inventions ever, just as books are one of the greatest inventions ever and for the same reasons. Books are collections of abstract symbols that represent abstract ideas. Writing enhances our thinking through portability, storage, precision and universality. Books enable everyone to communicate with one another. All of these points about books hold precisely for money.

#25 Thales’ Revolution Sep 10, 2019

The standard claim is that philosophy begins with Thales. Why did philosophy come into being in a clusters of cities on the coasts of Asia minor? Ascribed to Thales by Aristotle: “The first principle and basic nature of all things is water, ”and “All things are full of gods.” Why do historians of philosophy get worked up over these lines? To see their significance, let’s set a context by going back to the worldview of the awesomely great Homer. So brush up on The Iliad, which I want to use as our pre-philosophy-worldview contrast object.

#24 Does Power Corrupt? Aug 27, 2019

Lord Acton said, “absolute power corrupts absolutely” but is this accurate? Abuses of social and political power are the ones we worry about the most. Social science data does seem too, on the surface, bare out Lord Acton’s claims. However, if you correlate the degrees of corruption with degrees of centralization the data suggests things are not quite so simple.

#22 Did Coffee Give Us The Enlightenment Jul 29, 2019

Also contributing was the development of European coffee house culture, the coffee houses bringing businessmen, artists, and scientists together for drinking and socializing.

#21 Censor The Hitlers Jun 25, 2019

Extreme cases always test our commitment to a free society. A free society depends on our general confidence in the power of reason, that people have intelligence and good judgment enough to handle the cognitive demands of living freely. Yet now our current concerns with social unrest, triggers, and inflammatory language and images has led some social-media giants curating speech. Some history teachers have found their online course lessons on German history blocked because they contain archival footage of Hitler giving a speech or a Nazi parade. Thus the censorship debate has now become main stream. We must decide as a society, should dangerous ideas always be allowed so that they can be confronted openly? Is sunlight the best disinfectant?

#19 Stain of Slavery Jun 03, 2019

In this episode of the Open College podcast, Professor Stephen Hicks talks about the issue of slavery: its history and current implications. Even though slavery has been prohibited in Western countries, its stains such as racism and discrimination still can be seen in our society. During the last decades, people of the civilized world have been reflecting on the causes and consequences of this tragic part of human history. The anti-slavery position, as Dr. Hicks asserts, became a part of our moral identity, but its mere presence is not enough for a proper moral judgment on “how to apportion credit and blame, pride and shame.” The issue of slavery must first be systematically studied in all of its complexity. By describing the history of the slave trade, its routes and origins worldwide and in North America in particular, Dr. Hicks lays out the necessary foundation for discussing why and how slavery came to be, what were the philosophical ideas behind it, who should be blamed for what has happened, and the causes of eventual abolition. Through historical evidence and data, he presents important facts about slavery that are often sidelined in current discussions and emphasizes the importance of the new Enlightenment individualistic way of thinking for eliminating slavery. Moreover, Professor Hicks warns against rash judgments and common misuses of group language. In order to objectively assign credit and blame, one should check the premises and strictly follow the principles that lie in the foundation of the opposition to slavery because without this philosophical consistency no justice can be achieved. In this episode of Open College Podcast, Dr. Hicks presents a proper systematic way of judging and responding to this human tragedy that stems from ideas of the independence of every human being and his/her individual rights.

#10 Bhopal: Government Subsidized Chaos Jan 08, 2019

Open College with Dr. Stephen R.C. Hicks | Episode #10 - Bhopal: Government Subsidized Environmental Apocalypse Bhopal is a city in central India, and late in 1984 chemicals in large quantities spilled out of an industrial plant there, killing, maiming, and damaging tens of thousands of people. The long-term estimated death toll from the 1984 Bhopal disaster in India is about 16,000 people, making it the worst human-caused environmental disaster in history. In the high-tech society we strive to be, it is essential that we learn the causes of disasters so that we can correct our mistakes. Technology lessens many of life’s risks, but handled badly it can add other serious risks.

#6 Nietzsche's Sister and The Will to Power Nov 20, 2018

The story of the The Will to Power has the makings of a dramatic documentary film. It has a tormented genius, Friedrich Nietzsche, already recognized as one of the great minds of his generation, but forced to retire early for health problems. Living an itinerant life wandering Europe on a meager pension, he nonetheless working vigorously on his iconoclastic philosophy, to culminate in a work he suggested would be his greatest. But he collapses on the streets of Turin -- only 44 years old -- losing his mental faculties and most of his grip on reality. It's speculated that he caught syphilis from consorting with prostitutes, but more likely he has a slow-developing brain tumor. Nonetheless, the damaged philosopher is confined to an institution for the last decade of his life. But what of his final work, the unfinished manuscript he'd been working on -- maybe his magnum opus? What would be its fate?

#5 Conservatives: Get Over the Dark Ages Nov 12, 2018

Open College with Dr. Stephen R.C. Hicks #5 - Conservatives Get Out of The Dark Ages It's a faux pas in some intellectual circles -- mostly conservative ones -- to say that there was a Dark Ages in European history. But the mainstream view has been that the Middle Ages were a dark period in Western history. What were the "Middle Ages" in the middle of? Between the Greco-Roman era and the Renaissance. Roughly a millennium. The evaluative claim is that the glories of Greece and Rome and the achievements of the Renaissance and early Modernity were outstanding. By contrast, the Middle Ages look dimmer or actually dark.

#4 Dim Ruins Nov 06, 2018

The post modernist British thinker John Gray wrote in his book, Enlightenment's Wake: “We live today amid the dim ruins of the Enlightenment project, which was the ruling project of the modern period.” Our culture as a failure, ruins, nadir. Did the enlightenment not live up to its promises? What is the standard for this claim? What does the data show us? Are we indeed living amongst dim ruins?

#3 Conservatives Are Not Free-Market Capitalists Nov 01, 2018

Political labeling is often sloppy and political movements are often big tent, but it’s important to keep up the effort to be precise so we know what each other is talking about. Precision is also important because sometimes those who accept some free-market policies do so for political expediency reasons, and that superficial acceptance can mask more fundamental suspicions or rejections of free markets.

#2 - Violent Politics: Lesson of Marxist Philosophy Oct 22, 2018

Our topic is the long history of violent far-left, especially Marxist, activism. Is it a coincidental that so much brutality emerged from Marx-inspired activists? Or is it accidental by-product of well-intentioned theory? Or is it a necessary and intended consequence of its principles? Leon Trotsky on Joseph Stalin in 1940: "Under all conditions well-organized violence seems to him the shortest distance between two points." Not just what the Marxist theoreticians and politicians said, what they did. A large number of intellectuals in the west, are aware of the atrocities but accept them. Why?

#1 Free Speech; Why The Philosophy Matters Oct 06, 2018

Humans are smart beings — or potentially smart. Not instinctual or passive creatures. Active engagement and deep thinking. Life goals and strategy. Lots of information. Lots of experiment. And do it yourself. Extend that socially to meaningful relationships. Shared values. Degrees of intimacy from business acquaintances to friends to lovers and life partners. In common, all depend on exchange of info, genuine communication. Context of trust, respect, and freedom. When disagreements arise, at least initial benefit of the doubt, willingness to hear out the other side, nuanced judgment that takes all the available information into account. Major part of what education should instill.
