Gregory B. Sadler has taught and designed Philosophy, Humanities, Religious Studies, Literature, and Critical Thinking courses for over 20 years. Jesper became interested in Greg's work when he searched for Self-Directed Learning and, by chance, found Greg's YouTube channel dedicated to self-directed learning in Philosophy. Greg Sadler brings a fresh perspective to our lively discussion on how ancient wisdom parallels modern self-help and the ever-evolving education journey. We peel back the layers of philosophy's public image, addressing stereotypes and the ironic complexities of communication within the field. GregOur conversation takes a turn through the less-traveled paths of self-education in philosophy, guiding those embarking on their intellectual quests. We debunk the solitary philosopher's myth, revealing the discipline's communal nature and its relevance to contemporary life. Whether you're a seasoned philosopher or a curious newcomer, Greg offers insights into navigating the works of Plato and Nietzsche and the approachability of online resources like his 'Half Hour Hegel' series, which offers companionship in the sometimes lonely pursuit of knowledge.As we wrap up our philosophical exploration, literature's profound impact on us stands out. Together with Greg, we reflect on how our understanding of texts like 'The Great Gatsby' or Nietzsche's works evolves.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Some fun lessons I learned as a junior regrantor, published by Joel Becker on December 20, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Title in homage to Linch. In the second half of 2022, I was a Manifund regrantor. I ended up funding: Holly Elmore to " [organize] for a frontier AI moratorium." ($2.5k.) Jordan Schneider/ChinaTalk to produce " deep coverage of China and AI." ($17.55k.) Robert Long to conduct " empirical research into AI consciousness and moral patienthood." ($7.2k.) Greg Sadler/GAP organizational expenses. ($10k.) Nuño Sempere to " make ALERT happen." ($8k.) Zhonghao He to " [map] neuroscience and mechanistic interpretability." ($1.75k.) Alexa Pan to write an " explainer and analysis of CNCERT/CC (国家互联网应急中心)." ($1.5k.) Marcel van Diemen to build " The Base Rate Times." ($2.5k, currently unclaimed.) You can find my decisions and comments on grants on my profile. Here, I want to reflect on lessons learned from this wonderful opportunity. I was pretty wrong about my edge In my bio, I wrote: To the extent that I have an edge as a regrantor, I think it comes from having an unusually large professional network. This, plus not having serious expertise in any particular area, makes me excited to invest in "people not projects." I had previously ran a prestigious fellowship program where (by the end) I thought I was pretty good at selection. Successfully running an analogous selection process over people recommended from my wide network (this time for grants) seemed like it would transfer neatly. Austin, who co-runs Manifund, and who participated in my earlier program, seemed to agree on both counts. I still believe the premises, and so remain hopeful that this could be an edge in future. But it was largely unimportant for my recent regranting experience. (Only the grant to Greg Sadler/GAP came out of asking my network for recommendations; only the grant to Robert Long came from private knowledge I would have had regardless of being a regrantor.) I haven't fully figured out why this was. My current best guesses are: What matters most for 'deal flow' is not having a talented network but in-person conversations (with people in a talented network). 2023 was perhaps my most socially isolated non-COVID year. A fraction of a $50k budget is not enough for the kinds of recommendations one might want from one's network. I don't hear about opportunities like "this great person should start that great organization" because these would require more than $50k. Recommenders aren't naturally in the mode of looking out for nor dreaming up novel opportunities. Evidence in favor: Greg Sadler was recommended by someone who previously regranted to Greg Sadler. Perhaps I could have found a better way to get recommenders to change mode in conversations with me. Or perhaps this problem would fix itself if Manifund became better-known. But I have been happy about my low-level strategy Above the edge section of my bio, I wrote: I plan on using my regranting role to optimize for "good AI/bio funding ecosystem" and not "perceived ROI of regrants I make personally." I think that this means trying to: Be really cooperative behind the scenes. (E.g. sharing information and strategies with other regrantors, proactively helping Manifund founders with strategy.) Post questions about/evaluations of grants publicly. Work quickly. Pursue grants that might otherwise fall through the gaps. (E.g. because they're too small, or politically challenging for other funders, or from somewhat unknown grantees, or from grantees who are unaware that they should ask for funding.) Not get too excited about grants where (1) evaluation would benefit strongly from a project-first investment thesis (e.g. supporting AI safety agenda X vs. Y) or (2) the ideas are obvious enough that (to the extent that the ideas are good)...
How do the major ancient Greek philosophies really compare? Are some more applicable to our modern lives than others? Today we'll try to step back and get the 'bigger' picture in our attempt to understand, analyze and compare the major ancient Greek philosophies... all in one podcast.

NeoAcademia is a biweekly exploration of the shifting walls of the ivory tower. This week, I'm joined by Gregory B. Sadler (Greg, if you're besties) who has made hits like Half Hour Hegel and Nicomachean Ethics. I found Greg, like most people, searching for answers…and a (slightly) abbreviated explanation of complex philosophical topics, and I reached out to him because he seems like a dude who puts his philosophy into practice - a true stoic.Subscribe to the NeoAcademia newsletter for show notes, bonus content and a curated collection of resources.
"There is a very powerful practice and a capacity that I do see philosophy as particularly strong in. And that is making needed distinctions well, at the right time, in the right manner." (from https://platosacademy.org/gregory-b-sadler-dont-cheat-yourself/) For more than a decade, Greg Sadler has kept one foot in the worlds of traditional academia and the other in applying philosophy in public, professional, and practical contexts. Based in his hometown Milwaukee, he teaches for Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, edits Stoicism Today, produces video, podcast, and writing content on philosophy, and work with clients through his company ReasonIO

In this forty-third episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler discuss the phenomenon that gets called "the gaze" or "the look" (le regard, in French), starting with Jean-Paul Sartre's famous analysis of it, and the examples he provides in Being and Nothingness. They then discuss the notion of the "panopticon" and how it figures into the "surveillance society", and then examine gender and power-relations in the "male gaze".

In this forty-second episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler tackle a common misconception of Stoic philosophy, namely that it involves withdrawing from the world and from other people, in order to insulate oneself from negative experiences and emotions. This would mean that Stoicism would be incompatible with caring or concern for other people, and that would be strange, given that classic Stoics life Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius made love, affection, and concern for others central to their own teachings and practice. So, how can a person practice Stoicism and still cultivate healthy relationships with other people? That's what this episode delves into in depth Show Music is by Scott Tarulli - https://www.scotttarulli.com/
In this forty-first episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler go back to the types of real-life moral dilemmas set out in the Reddit AITA forum.

In this fortieth episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler bring their discussion of the topic of truth to a close by focusing on the popular metaphor of the marketplace of ideas as a locus in which true opinions and viewpoints are likely to be discovered, and false ones revealed as such. They discuss some of the difficulties involved in discovering and articulating truth, whether the "marketplace" really works, and how our current social and political factionalization creates new obstacles and challenges Show Music is by Scott Tarulli - https://www.scotttarulli.com/
In this thirty-ninth episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler continue their discussion of the topic of truth. They review several of the insights and theories about truth from the previous session, including what the correspondence and coherence theories of truth are. Then they discuss another main approach, the pragmatic theory of truth, looking at some of the diverse formulations of that view, coming in particular from C.S. Pierce, William James, and John Dewey. They discuss how and where a pragmatic approach can be helpful for how we approach truth in our everyday lives.
LifeBlood: We talked about critical thinking, why it's more important than ever, how to get better at it, how to become a better consumer of news and information, and why it's harder than ever to do it. We discussed the idea of information literacy, why it's harder today than in times past to be able to trust our news sources, the reasons behind that, and how to become better consumers of news. We talked about critical thinking, how it has been taught in Universities for a long time, and how it's value and the need for it is bigger than it's ever been, how the Stoics thought about it and applied it. We discussed the Stoic virtue of justice, how to apply it to the biggest problems and issues were facing today like vaccines and abortion, how it's really important to go far beyond rhetoric and talking points if you really want to form an opinion on these issues, and how to engage in civilized discourse on difficult issues. We talked about how to avoid binary thinking, how to appreciate and consider nuance, why it's essential to consider motivations and how to pursue truth with Dr. Gregory Sadler, philosopher, speaker, author, podcaster, consultant, coach and content creator. He's the Editor of Stoicism Today, a Professor and the CoOrganizer of STOICON.

In this thirty-eighth episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler discuss the nature, meaning, and value of something that we all talk about, but which is a bit tough to define - truth. Among the topics they range over are whether truth can be subjective or objective, whether there is a difference between moral truths about what we ought to do or what has value, and experiential truths about objects in the world. They also discuss several main theories of what truth is or what makes something true, including the correspondence theory of truth, the coherence theory of truth, and the pragmatic theory of truth, Show Music is by Scott Tarulli - https://www.scotttarulli.com/

In this thirty-seventh episode of the Wisdom for Life radio show, hosts Dan Hayes and Greg Sadler discuss the relations between human memory and the truth or falsity of matters. Among the topics that they discuss are what memory is and how it works, how our memories work less like a camera simply recording images and more like an artist putting together a complex mosaic. They take some detours in discussing Plato's notion of the forms and their importance for knowledge, how our memories can be deceiving, the "Satanic panic" of the 1980s and its connections with supposed repressed memories, and some of the novels of science fiction author, Philip K.
