Truly impressive how you were able to give a lecture on this essay and somehow make it as simple as the beginning of his publication “the Phil of logical atomism.” Amazing!

Audio is having lor of background noise and disturbance, voice is also not clear

[@sebastianuys425]

At minute 44, is there not in some sense an analogical relationship between "always" and "everything"

[@krzysztofciuba271]

At 35:52 -"I am confused" and yes, he really messed it up contra original B. Russell's intention in the article!

[@ThePeaceableKingdom]

Enjoying your lectures. This is no. 4, I presume?...

[@MrFranganito]

I think this is the fifth, there's another one on Frege ( "Frege on Thought") uploaded the same day as this one.

[@NousProductions]

I'm glad he finally erased that partial A on the chalkboard at 33:00 into the lecture.

[@Oners82]

OCD?

[@repubblesmcglonky8990]

It's the case that every time he says "everything is awesome" is that everything is awesome

[@user-pi9pi3gy8h]

Stop playing the metaphysician. Wanna see my theorem?

[@pengefikseret]

That 'its not unnecessary' joke was pretty spot on! Or better: It is not the case that the 'its not unnecessary' joke was not spot on

Nice! I red the paper, but I missed some stuff.

[@robertstevens1287]

I've grown acquainted to your face... Your well denoted English face... lol

[@DanteHaroun]

god those students are pretty dim poor guy

[@m_monemy]

well i think C(nothing) means: "(∀x)¬(x is awesome)"; the student has turned you in a totally wrong way of giving a description of the quantifier: "(∀x)¬¬(x is awesome)" is completely another thing and it's equivalent to the first assertion.

[@clockfixer5049]

Here's the thing, the prof. had to lay down a proposition 'Nothing is not awesome', not 'C(nothing)' by itself which would be exactly what you wrote. In Russel's terminology " 'C(nothing)'means " 'C(nothing) is always false' is always true". And if we abstract from defining 'nothing' by itself, we merely use the language of logic which will even out two negations into one positive proposition. Hope I was clear. محمد صدرا منعمی نودهی
