Through this focus on Macon’s changes in life, the…

According to Forbes (1995), in order for a normally embodied thinker to think about concepts such as brain, in and vat, she “must somehow be informationally linked to” instances of those concepts (206). However, Forbes does not consider (and it seems to me that he does not think he needs to consider) what particular sorts of “informational links” are sufficient to enable a thinker to think about those concepts, though he suggests that an is-and-always-has-been BIV has no such informational links…

The fight for equality will go on forever and chances that some movements will repeat themselves are probable; sometimes, history needs to repeat itself to get things right.

In Rory Sutherland’s Ted Talk “Perspective is everything” he talks about how powerful perspective is and how changing your perspective can the enrich the livelihood of your life. His main ideal is that most people are happier when they feel they are in control of their life. There is power all around us, we hold power…

Paulo Freire’s ‘the banking concept of education’ states that a teacher is a depositor and the student is a bank account. His solution for this is ‘problem-posing education’ which in essence is taking that deposited value and investing it forward in their future and allowing them to invest the capital in different locations without restrictions. But there is a middle ground where you can use problem-posing education with the banking concept in a meld of the old and the new, meaning that if you…
