As a professor, I wonder, do you think that students are receptive to this class? Do you think they actually come out of your course having assimilated the tools and apply these skills into their daily lives? Like what is the depth of penetration of this content?
Some are receptive. Not everyone is, though - same as any course. Really evaluating the impact of this class would involve checking back in with students years later, and unfortunately, we can't/don't really do that sort of assessment. Honestly, my greatest fear is that students finish a course like this thinking that now they are magically rational, critical thinkers. A critical thinking course can only ever be a first step toward a lifetime of developing critical thinking habits. I don't really aim for "deep penetration" so much as "lighting a fire" and providing enough tools for students to keep that fire burning and build it bigger.
@@adamrosenfeld9384 (to give you an assessment of receptive students) I was one of your students back in 2013 and just found your CZcams channel. Your class was my most appreciated, useful and memorable university course! I absolutely apply what I learned in my daily life! Critical thinking, sound arguments, and good discernment are very rare today. I wish every university (honestly even k12) required this, but moreover I wish all students were receptive but as Professor Rosenfeld unfortunately said, "some just aren't" All the best to you! Thank you for making a channel! I'm so glad that I came across it, now I can share!
I'm not aware of any clear violations of the law of non-contradiction in quantum physics. That's not to say there isn't a lot of weird stuff going on at the quantum scale, some stuff so weird that some pretty basic logical principles seem to get a bit shaky. But e.g. light behaving like a particle and a wave isn't quite the same as being a particle and not a particle. Or perhaps if we're thinking about something like Young's double slit experiment, an electron going through both slits isn't quite a naked contradiction, just surprising. Perhaps you could be a bit more specific about how you think physical theory of phenomena at the quantum scale violates the law of non-contradiction?
I miss your CZcams lectures! This series has especially helped me lately, thank you.
This is stellar. I have been thinking along these lines for quite some time but I haven't ever heard it so well expressed. Thank you
Adam is undead? I like your lecture. I still feel skeptical about objective moral facts. I agree with you on all other accounts. Thanks!
Wow! Thanks! I was looking for a meme but I found this and I am satisfied.
I've been watching your videos lately and they were really helpful for me, as a philosophy student. thank you so much!!

what do you think for yourself?

"the depth of penetration" thats the most funny wording i can think of from a professor.

what about the contradiction of the law of non-contradiction with quantum physics?
