the memory palace - Episode 135: Revolutions

The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia.

Music

  • We start off with an absolute banger from my old friends in Lightning Bolt, their track King Kandy.

  • Then an old favorite, Blues to Elvin from the unstoppable, Coltrane Plays the Blues.

  • We move to Everything is an Illusion by Kaada

  • Hear Rolling by Collectress

  • And finish out on The Dog by Group Listening.

Notes

  • I read quite a bit for this one but nothing was more helpful (or more charming) than Save Womens Lives History of Washing Machines by Lee Maxwell, who bills himself on the cover as "Collector of Old and Unusual Washing Machines." God bless Lee and his patient wife.

Philosophers In Space - 0G34: The Good Place and Moral Luck

Well, the cats out of the bag now. Everyone knows this is really The Bad Show. You'd think all the bickering between Thomas and I would have given it away sooner, but it's a relief to have it out in the open.

Kidding! Everything is great! We're doing season two of The Good Place, a show we both think is great, and we're talking about Moral Luck, something you will all soon think is great! I strongly recommend the paper this week, I think it's an acceptable level of readable and has some real gems in it:

 

Nagel's Moral Luck: rintintin.colorado.edu/~vancecd/phil1100/Nagel1.pdf

For folks who are interested in more discussions of free will and moral luck, check out episode 43 and 44 of Embrace the void:

The Gist - Sullying a Pup’s Good Name

On The Gist, a “tariff man” sing-along!

Then, Maria Konnikova is back for another round of “Is That Bullshit?” She and Mike discuss the cigar-shaped space object (known as ‘Oumuamua) picked up by astronomers last year. Was it an alien vehicle, or just another flying rock?

In the Spiel, Mike proudly backs the Slate stance: George H.W. Bush’s service dog probably wasn’t mourning him.
