44:00 my immediate reaction was to point out the distinction between determinism and fatalism, because people often can't tell the difference

[@lanceindependent]

I agree. I've seen people mix them up a lot.

1:23:31 Honestly, I'm unsure that "ought" does imply "can". I think we can imagine a moral system and a situation such that people ought not be left to freeze without being provided heat in the winter. I think this principle could even hold before we developed technology that allowed us to heat homes. We therefore had an imperative to create the "can", to the create the technology and alleviate our constant failing at this imperative.

I don't understand how anyone could be hostile to experimental method in any academic discipline. Experiment is the ultimate arbiter and judge of truth in the sciences. If you don't have any experiment backing your conclusions, you just have, what? argument and rhetoric? seemings and musings? Those really don't rise to having any evidential weight at all, in my opinion as a scientist. Quantification is important as well, it should methodologically enforce a lack of ambiguity between researchers, otherwise they might talk past each other. Any notion being played around with in the scientific discourse that is not firmly associated directly with a single quantitative device or suite of devices that all strongly agree for its measure should be treated extremely skeptically in my opinion.

good video BUT nothing like the word EXPERIMENTAL to drive any audience away.. the only way it would make ppl's eyes glaze over any more would be if it also said PHILOSOPHY 🇺🇸
