We interview Leo Strine on the purpose of the corporation, differentiating between shareholder primacy and stakeholder theory. We discuss ESG and the power of stockholders and workers. Leo Strine applies his perspective on corporate purpose to corporate acquisitions and lays out his hopes for the future of corporations. Some critical articles to learn more about the shareholder primacy vs stakeholder theory debate:Origins of the argument: - Merrick Dodd, For Whom Are Corporate Managers Trustees?, 45 HARV. L. REV. 1145 (1932) - Adolph A. Berle, Jr., For Whom Corporate Managers Are Trustees: A Note, 45 HARV.. L. REV. 1365, 1372 (1932)Shareholder primacy ownership argument: - Milton Friedman, A Friedman doctrine– The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits, N.Y. Times, Sept. 13 1970.Critique on shareholder primacy: - Lynn A. Stout, Bad and Not-so-Bad Arguments for Shareholder Primacy, 75 S. CAL. L. REV. 1189 (2002).Example of Application: - Lucian Bebchuk and Roberto Tallarita, The Illusory Promise of Stakeholder Governance. 106 Corn. L. Rev. 91 (2020).Example of Court Case Application: - Revlon, Inc. v. MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, Inc., 506 A.2d 173, 177 (Del. 1986)A bit about Leo Strine:Leo E.

Wachter Distinguished Fellow in Law and Policy at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and a Senior Fellow of the Harvard Program on Corporate Governance.

He is a member of the American Law Institute.Mr. Strine speaks and writes frequently on the subjects of corporate and public law, and particularly the impact of business on society, and his articles have been published in The University of Chicago Law Review, Columbia Law Review, Cornell Law Review, Duke Law Journal, Harvard Law Review, University of Pennsylvania Law Review, and Stanford Law Review, among others.  On several occasions, his articles were selected as among the Best Corporate and Securities Articles of the year, based on the choices of law professors.Before becoming a judge in 1998,  Mr. Strine served as Counsel and Policy Director to Governor Thomas R. Carper, and had also worked as a corporate litigator at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom from 1990 to 1992.  He was law clerk to Judge Walter K.

In this episode Trent examines some of the arguments atheist Bible scholar Bart Ehrman makes against the Bible presented in recent interviews on various atheist podcasts.

In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of argumentation and the impact it has on our lives. From the way politicians and public figures communicate to the strategies health coaches use to motivate their clients, arguments are everywhere. But are we really listening and thinking critically about the arguments we encounter, or are we relying on emotional appeals and intellectual laziness? We discuss the benefits of seeking truth through argumentation, the importance of being skeptical and vigilant, and the role of education and propaganda in shaping our beliefs. We also explore specific examples of bad arguments, from the flat Earth theory to eugenics. Finally, we offer practical tips for improving your own argumentation skills, from challenging your own beliefs to active listening and seeking out diverse perspectives. Whether you're a student, professional, or just a curious person who wants to navigate the world of communication more effectively, this episode has something for everyone. So join us as we explore the power of argumentation and the importance of seeking truth in a world filled with noise and confusion.

We seek to provide clarity and truth on theological and cultural topics/issues, all from a Biblical standpoint.

The world is starving for truth; Remnant is just one voice among many providing solid reasons for what we believe and why we believe it.

Does an all-knowing God make free will an illusion? Since heaven is without sadness, does mean that we won't be ourselves? These two arguments were put forth in posts that students sent my way. Let's work through these bad arguments and learn to think well.

In this week's episode, we respond to an email we received about Prosperity Theology, specifically D&C 130:20-21. We also discuss current apostate movements that claim Brigham Young has led the Church astray and Joseph Smith never practiced polygamy. We talk about a meme sent by a listener that claims Brigham Young changed Joseph Smith's journal to justify polygamy. The links below take you to Joseph Smith's original journal entry and the Church History record that references Joseph Smith's journal. We also discuss that if the intention of the Church is to hide Joseph Smith's original journal they are doing a terrible job of it by posting it on a freely accessible website.  Joseph's journal entry https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paper-summary/journal-december-1842-june-1844-book-3-15-july-1843-29-february-1844/123 History of Church version https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paper-summary/history-1838-1856-volume-e-1-1-july-1843-30-april-1844/118 Please visit our website at www.standardoftruth.com If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com

BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, you have got to check out this link. I didn't spot it until after writing my script, and it's probably a good thing that I didn't, or this would have morphed into a seven-episode series: https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/proabortion-slogans-and-how-to-handle-them-9553 Ok, as promised in the episode, here's some of the cutting-room-floor text as well as some helpful links. CUTTING ROOM FLOOR: Another argument states that babies aren't actually living people with human rights because they're not “viable.” This one is weak. Babies aren't even “viable” long after they're born! Those with severe cerebral palsy or advanced muscular dystrophy aren't “viable” for their whole lives! On the topic, many state that since the baby isn't sentient until a certain amount of weeks, it's morally acceptable to dismember or otherwise terminate the baby's life until it is sentient and can tell what's going on and/or feel pain. Barring the notion that people in comas are also not sentient, it nonetheless remains morally unacceptable due to the fact that babies are indeed sentient even as early as 12 weeks and can feel pain as early as 8 weeks. Many (such as popular pro-abortion activist Katha Pollitt) say that although modern translations of Exodus 21:22–23 confer a financial penalty for an early delivery of a child due to abuse at the hands of an offender (see this link for more on that: https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-life/the-bible-say-about-abortion.html), Katha and many, many others like her hold that the earliest Rabbinical traditions state that there was a fine for miscarriage, not pre-term birth, thus indicating that since the death penalty wasn't carried out for the miscarriage, the unborn child was seen as less than human. Well, that would be all well and good, except for these pesky little things called historical documents. The famed historian Josephus, writing in the very first century (two thousand years ago), was fully aware that the Torah forbade abortions and stated clearly as much in his writings. Another early source which contradicts this is a first-century document called the Didache, which was a sort of church instruction manual written by Christians who knew their Torah inside and out. In it, it states “thou shalt not murder a child by abortion nor kill them when born.” Furthermore, the Letter of Barnabas, a second-century work, states “You shall not abort a child nor, again, commit infanticide.” Oh, and there's no word for “fetus” in the Bible because the Greek word “brephos” is used in the Bible to refer to both an unborn child and an infant. There's no distinction, and such a distinction is actually quite novel. So tell me again how opposition to abortion is some new idea, Miss Pollitt? In 2014, the same lady went on record as saying the following: “[Jewish tradition] does not have the concept of the personhood of the fetus (much less the embryo or fertilized egg). In Jewish law, you become a person when you draw your first breath.” So let's address that one, too. First, most arguments in this realm enter weird territory pretty quick, going so far as to include Ezekiel's vision in the valley of dry bones or Adam having received the breath of life as some sort of prescriptive argument for when life begins. It's wildly outlandish. But for what it's worth, it's really popular to make the claim that life doesn't begin until the first breath. But is this what the Bible teaches? No. Here's a link for more on this: https://www.str.org/w/does-bible-teach-life-begins-first-breath. Source on statistics of reasons for abortions: http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/abortion/abreasons.html Lastly, here's a really, really cool page that very fairly shows arguments for and against abortion: https://abortion.procon.org/

In today's episode, I identify a new group of people that I will call the new classical theists. They are like new atheists in that they have a lot of strong rhetoric, but very little by way of cogent arguments. First, I offer a brief discussion on models of God. Then I consider different claims from people like Edward Feser, Thomas Weinandy, Gerald Bray, and Matthew Barrett. I articulate their arguments against neoclassical theism. I explain why their arguments are not solid critiques of neoclassical theism. One of the major problems is that nothing they say remotely resembles neoclassical theism or any serious model of God.

In this episode Trent reveals three bad ways to answer mythicism, or the view that Jesus never existed.

It's important for Christians to arrive at the right conclusions and to be able to defend how they got there. A big part of that is not using logical fallacies, and recognizing them when they are used against us. This video identifies five very common logical fallacies that are probably familiar to most Christians, and gives some examples of how they are often used. This is meant to provide the average Christian with some basic tools to utilize in looking out for bad argumentation, whether it's being used by themselves, other Christians, or someone arguing against their beliefs. We want to call out logical fallacies when we see them and replace them with sound arguments for why we believe what we believe.

Since we discuss them so often on the show, it's really only logical that Matt should formally (and informally) talk about what constitutes a logical fallacy and why they're important. Levi teaches us the ins and outs of figs and the depressing life of some wasps, while Sam breaks the news that bone broth may not be all it's cracked up to.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that has happened in politics or religion."  -Karl Sagan A professor at Cypress College in California berated her student for a pro-police view.  She said some nonsense -- and I mean real nonsense since it was false but had it been true it wouldn't have meant anything. It got me thinking about dumb arguments I hear both for good and for bad things. For example, a BLM supporter once murdered five Dallas police officers.  But this is not a good argument that BLM is evil.  No organization is accurately defined by its worst element. “Mudslinging - In politics, anything bad the opponent says about our candidate; in contrast, when our candidate does this, it is called 'making a good point.”  –Richard Turner

Many people now assume that a godless scepticism is the default position, indeed the only position for anybody wishing to appear educated, contemporary, and urbane. Atheism is hip, religion is boring. Yet when one pokes at popular atheism, many of the arguments used to prop it up quickly unravel. This seminar exposes some of the loose threads on the cardigan of atheism. - Andy Bannister   Fra Veritas Digital 2020  https://veritaskonferansen.no

We often hear the same objections to TAG based on similar mistakes. A year ago I did a specific stream presenting TAG and why it holds up against TANG found here: https://youtu.be/tx3ssbjb3XsI covered the supposed transcendental argument for the non-existence of God, but we saw this was based on a fallacious understanding of theological voluntarism. Today we will cover more common and simpler objections to TAG which are usually based on misunderstandings, fallacies and basic blunders.

There are a lot of good arguments you can use when debating abortion... ...but on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney, Sue Thayer, and Steve Karlen examine five arguments you should avoid making in defense of life: "We believe life begins at conception."  "The baby could become the next..." "Rape accounts for only 1% of abortions." "If a woman doesn't want a baby, she should practice safe sex." "Late-term abortions are worse than first-trimester abortions."  These arguments--though frequently used--can do more harm than good. Tune in to learn the arguments you should be making!

Episode #30 - On today’s episode of the podcast I had the pleasure of speaking to Ali Almossawi. Ali is the author of Bad Arguments, Bad Choices, and The Point of Pointless Work. His books have been read by 3.2 million readers, translated into 21 languages, and have sold over 300,000 copies in print. In his other career, he leads an engineering and design team at Apple. You heard that right being an author isn’t Ali’s full-time gig. He has had over 3.2 million readers all whilst having a full-time job. This side hustle, or what Ali calls his side passion, is something he tackles in his mornings and evenings. This is something I imagine a lot of you can relate to so in this discussion I delve deeply into how Ali balances his time between his job’s whilst giving his all to both careers. I also ask him as many of you are probably already wondering, if this man is already a successful author, why on earth hasn’t he quit his full-time job and gone all in on his side passion. We also dive into the details his most successful book Bad arguments, where we discuss some key argumentative tactics and logical fallacies you can apply to your everyday life. I hope you enjoy this episode of CEO Journals. -------------- Follow Ali on Instagram: @almossawi Visit Ali’s website: www.almossawi.com Follow me on Instagram: @CEOJOURNALS / @ETHANBRIDGE_ -------------- DON’T FORGET TO LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW IF YOU ENJOYED THE SHOW!

Learn to recognize these abuses of reason and gain the ability to poke holes in your opponent's arguments! This week on YAP, Hala chats with Ali Almossawi, the author of multiple books including An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments, Bad Choices and the Point of Pointless Work.

The Media Diet (part 3)Have you ever met someone who just made bad arguments and could not carefully or accurately define what their position was on any given topic? Perhaps their reactions were knee-jerk, explosive or just ill-informed. What if that same person was given a platform where in they broadcasted into millions of American's living rooms each night? Dialog and understanding comes from gaining perspective on nuance and allowing a deeper understanding of any given topic. This episode looks at An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments by Ali Almossawi and we discuss a handful of the bad arguments made by partisan media companies. We also look at the history of the Fairness Doctrine, a deregulated staple of broadcast media, and how conservative media outlets traditionally viewed it. We also look at claims of bias in the media, typically from the political right, and outline what drives these claims and what the history surrounding the accusations stem from. When you hear claims that a paper, or program, or reporter you enjoy is accused of being "liberal", what does that claim stand upon. How can we test the fairness of the person making that claim? Or the fairness of the news they consume?  We all have a family member, friend or acquaintance hooked on a partisan news organization. Perhaps it's time we ask them to consider consuming something more neutral. Please share our podcast with the family/friend who you feel could benefit from being a bit more objective.  ReferencesAd Fontes Media. (2018). Meida Bias Chart.

The Media Diet (part 2) If one wants to see into the bottom of what bad news and disinformation look like, one need only to look at the Nazi Party. This episode will continue to look at the media diet and the positive effects it can have. We also discuss what we call the Nazi power tool and how it is used to divide an audience. Using this power tool does not make one a Nazi, but rather provides them with the same tool for splitting the room and creating fear. We also look at the use of fear, hatred and anger as a means of coercing and motivating segments of groups and society. Countering these narratives can be difficult, and we look at what scholars have found is the most effective tool to stand up to emotional influence, political sophistication. We also look at where these tools are being used in modern American media, what it sounds like, and what the true intent is behind using them. As stated, using one of these tools does not make one a Nazi, but it will have a dramatic affect on your audience, and the bigger the microphone, the bigger the affect. Lastly we look at the algorithm used by one of America's favorite 24 hour news networks to create brand loyalty and buy-in. This has been one of our favorite topics and we will continue to look at media and its affects for just a bit longer.   ReferencesAd Fontes Media.

The Media Diet (part 1) Why do people argue over whose news organization is more reliable? Has it always been that way? Why did early broadcasters try and be as neutral as possible, and why are media sources online deliberately partisan today? Is it helping? It's absolutely critical that democracies have news organizations that present fact based reporting in an easily digestible ways in order to inform and instruct the public so that they may make informed and accurate decisions. Calls of bias and tilted media have been around for a long time, but what tools can be used to determine what is good media vs. bad media?It can be confusing to be online and see multiple sources reporting the same story in various different methods. It can cause people to become upset, angry, frustrated and ultimately it can cause people to simply shut it off. Perhaps this isn't the proper solution. Perhaps what the country needs is to go on a media diet. To shave off a few pounds of partisan fat and go for the nutrition they've been missing out on. This podcast examines a method devised to assist in examining media bias, and the importance of fact based reporting. It also looks at one of the most effective marketing gimmicks in partisan media and how it has an effect of creating brand preference within various viewer's perception of the news organizations they most prefer. We look at the most trusted organizations as well as least insightful. It also discusses a good litmus test for determining what news can be avoided, as well as the messenger effect. Please join us on the media diet and pass this along to that friend or family member, work colleague or acquaintance who you know to be hooked on partisan media.    ReferencesAd Fontes Media.

Can God create a rock so heavy that he can’t lift it. 7. Christians are hypocrites. 8. Maybe there’s a first cause but that doesn’t prove christianity. 9. The Bible is filled with contradictions. 10. I believe in one less God than you. It’s arrogant for you to think you’re rig

My guest for this short episode of The Knowledge Project is a man who wears many hats. Ali Almossawi is a San Francisco-based author of books on critical thinking and computer science education, and the creator of An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments. He is also a principal engineer at Apple and was formerly employed as a data visualization engineer by Mozilla. His books have been read by 3 million readers, translated into 20 languages, and have sold over a quarter million copies in print. This interview is only 20 minutes along, but there was a lot I wanted to cover, so we move pretty fast. Specifically, we cover: The unique format Ali chooses when writing a book to help people understand the concepts more deeply The place for empathy in algorithmic thinking and how we can be more empathetic in our daily interactions with each other Ali’s note taking process and how he tracks the ideas and topics he’d like to explore Ali’s daily routine and the “algorithms” he uses to make the most of his day The single habit that has the most profound impact on Ali’s day to day The cost/benefit of sharing on social media and the impact it has on society as a whole And more. If you’ve ever wanted to improve the way you process information, think more clearly and make better decisions, you won’t want to miss this interview.

Since the dawn of time people have been trying to figure out the universe.  Religions stem from an early attempts at doing this.  Since holy books were written during less civilized times, their message no longer resonates with the vast majority of modern societies.  Especially in Christianity, most Christians today tend to focus on the parts of the Bible where good things happen - such as the sermon on the mount or Jesus healing the sick people.  Few Christians actually talk about stoning people for working on the Sabbath or killing their unruly children.  So here is the problem.  If you believe the good parts of the Bible, how do you reconcile the bad and nonsensical ones?  This is where we get apologetics.  The attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable.

Ian Bushfield and Dr. Andy Bannister had a dialogue on what was a better foundation for human rights? Christianity or Secular Humanism. It was on Wednesday Feb 28 at Westside Church in Vancouver.Ian Bushfield is the Executive Director of the B.C. Humanist Association. Dr. Andy Bannister is the author of the book The Atheist Who Didn't Exist: Or the Dreadful Consequences of Bad Arguments.David Simpson, and I review where we agree with both Bushfield and Bannister. And where we disagree with themIf you want to watch the dialogue, it is on YouTube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PugT_mhjgioFollow me hereFacebook:Kevin OlenickLike:Agree or Disagree:The Podcast on Facebook.Twitter:@kevole @AorDThePodcastSoundcloud: @kevoleSpreaker:@kevoleInstagram:@kevoleYou Tube: Kevin Olenick

Andy Bannister on how life's biggest questions are not just abstract, but deeply personal. --- "I think the gospel has something to say in every area of life. Christianity is a public truth. One of the mistakes Christians make is answering yesterday's truth. One way to address this is to do a lot more listening and a lot less talking." In the West, it's safe to say that there are many obstacles that come between people and taking faith seriously. There's the idea that science holds the answer to all things; that religion is the cause of all wars; that all religions are the same. "It's far more respectful to my Muslim friends to recognise that what they believe is different, and to take the effort to understand those differences, and not to assume they're just like me." Andy Bannister is the Director of Solas Centre for Public Christianity in the UK, and author of the book The Atheist Who Didn't Exist: Or, The Dreadful Consequences of Bad Arguments. He's dedicated the better part of his life to encouraging people to consider faith, to think carefully and seriously about it. In this conversation we talk about life's big questions; some of the key differences between Islam and Christianity; and what Christian faith has to offer our culture that might be worthwhile. "The reason I treated you with respect and dignity was because I believe you're a person made in the image of God and that your life bears incredible value and dignity. You, on the other hand, have told me three times during our lunch that you believe human beings are nothing more than atoms and particles - nothing more than biology. But you haven't treated me as a person made of atoms and particles, you've actually treated me as a person made in the image of God. You've treated me on the basis of my worldview, not yours. I'm very grateful for that." --- SUBSCRIBE to Life & Faith on Apple Podcasts: www.bit.ly/cpxpodcast

Just a couple of months ago I was chatting with you about some of the best ways to engage in healthy and meaningful spiritual conversations with others. One of the books that we referenced in that late October discussion on the blog was The Atheist Who Didn’t Exist…Or: the Dreadful Consequences of Bad Arguments  Today

Dr. Andy Bannister, Director of Solas Centre for Public Christianity and speaker at RZIM, joins me this week to discuss his book, "The Atheist Who Didn't Exist: Or the Dreadful Consequences of Bad Arguments." Listen as we discuss arguments from new atheist and why tolerance is disrespectful, and then frame it all in a picture of evangelism and pointing people to Jesus.

Our culture is changing in major way, and we must train for new types of encounters. Our culture has a split brain problem. On the one hand, our culture craves facts, evidence and technology. On the other hand, our culture believes that ethics, values and religious issues are simply personal preferences, not grounded in facts. Today's sermon addresses some of the arguments non-believers use to justify their non-belief.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I weigh in on the Great Bathroom Debate of 2016, tackle some of the constitutional issues and explain why I think the whole thing is generally kind of dumb.

Greg explores some common objections to Christianity and religion in general. Some of the topics discussed are the lack of scientific evidence for a soul, relativistic truth, religious truth, misunderstandings about faith, and the tendency to attack the believer rather than the belief.

In this episode of the Fight Death podcast, we're going to be exploring red herrings: what they are and how to respond to them. I'm continuing with a slightly longer episode format, and a little less scripted. Tell me your thoughts! If you want to support the show, use this affiliate link (I get a small cut of the profit, but you don't pay extra!) to pick up a copy of An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments ( https://amzn.to/2WUnJFv ) , which I mention toward the end of this episode. It's a great little guide to logical fallacies, and it makes a nifty teaching tool for kids. Plus, it's a nice coffee table book! You can find more of my work at https://www.fightdeathpodcast.com/.
