Charles Taylor Lecture: A More Adequate Narrative of Western Secularity

[@StopFear]

Charles Taylor is obviously related to the singer James Taylor. They look like brothers in appearance. lol. Anyway. Whatever Charles Taylor says in his lectures and presentations sounds interesting given to how he presents it.

This is brilliant

42:39 religion and politricks … collective identity around politricks

[@dalenixon6981]

If the volume is too low, play this on speakers.

The volume seems fine to me.

[@olivierlessard6783]

The first audience question about a religious feeling of loss to another ideology as foundation to fascism in the USA sounds even more poignant today. We should have philosopher kings instead of poorly read crooks as representatives.

[@keysemerson3771]

We don't need "kings" of any sort. We need intelligent humanists(religious or secular) working together for the good of all.

[@garychartier8365]

I'm a philosopher, and I thoroughly respect philosophers. But no kings, please. We need decentralized,.distributed, network-based decision-making that preserves exit opportunities and so encourages diversity and social experimentation.

Totally had to quit watching this, sound way toooo low, and the captioning wasn't working very good. Just about impossible for someone even with a mild hearing loss to hear it.

[@bananimal45]

You are completely right. I have no hearing problems, in fact my hearing is great, and I found this incredibly difficult to hear. It doesn't help that he stood so far away from the microphone either.

[@jhonviel7381]

ha ha old man!

[@keysemerson3771]

His mumbling speaking style doesn't help either.

[@susannemeyer7023]

Be grateful that it’s been uploaded. Of course the recording of such talks very often is just improvised without a professional around.

[@brandgardner211]

is this the liberian dictator? I thought he was in the hague

[@evanhadkins5532]

No. The Canadian academic.
