0x2 - Did Someone Say Philosophical? | B-Side
October 26, 2012
Mike Responds to Michael from VSauce's philosophical question: Are the bacteria and skin cells that live on your body "You"? Check out VSauce's original question in "A Real No-Brainer" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3teflb1QNN4&t=6m16s A couple folks have correctly pointed out I flubbed the names of the philosophical schools of thought. Which I did. That. Time to reread Russell's History of Western Philosophy! And speaking of books: this is an *extreme* distillation of some really complex and interesting stuff. If you're interested in doing more reading, a bunch of very smart people have tackled this topic.
0x3 - Hurricane Sandy Update | B-Side
October 30, 2012
We made it through Hurricane Sandy but Mike is trapped in Brooklyn since mass transit is down and the mayor is asking people not to drive! This means we wont be able to upload a new Idea Channel episode tomorrow - but hopefully we'll be able to upload it soon. So here's a small Idea about the "news" to ponder until we get everything up and running again.
0x4 - Turkey Day Update | B-Side
November 21, 2012
We're all taking a break for Turkey and Naps, but while Mike was home he started thinking about ... well ... home. Maybe some of what a couple philosophers - Jean Baudrillard and Ludwig Wittgenstein - wrote about could explain that weirdness. Or maybe not? Mike also responds to a video Destin from Smarter Every Day (http://www.youtube.com/smartereveryday) posted. Cats and banjos are involved so ...GOOD FUN FOR EVERYONE.
