Podcasts about Infinite regress

Stephen Maitzen argues that the world is deterministic. But if all of our choices are determined, how should we understand free will, the meaning of life, and regret?   Read Maitzen's Book here: https://www.routledge.com/Determinism-Death-and-Meaning/Maitzen/p/book/9781032134185 [00:00] Introduction to Determinism and Thought Experiment [00:15] Clark Griswold's Christmas Lights: A Lesson in Determinism [04:01] Probabilistic Explanations vs. Deterministic Explanations [05:06] The Limits of Probabilistic Explanations [12:47] Human Behavior and Determinism [17:26] Infinite Regress and Brute Facts [20:31 ] Time Travel and Determinism [28:20] The Role of Deliberation in Determinism [29:24] Forward-Looking Rationality and Regret [30:50] Libertarian vs. Determinist Deliberation [32:00] Compatibilism and the Illusion of Free Will [33:53] The Rationality of Regret in Determinism [37:41] Counterfactuals and Deterministic Implications [44:40] Determinism and the Meaning of Life [47:56] Libertarianism and Disrupting the Causal Chain [55:13] Compatibilist Responses to Libertarian Objections [59:22] Final Thoughts

In this episode of Displaced in Space, Angelina and Sam discuss "Infinite Regress," Season 5, episode 7 of Star Trek: Voyager! This week, it's the Seven-of-Nine-multiple-personalities episode we all knew was coming eventually. Now we have two alien species that have numbers instead of names, and we'll never get either of them right. And hopefully the Traveler comes and takes Naomi to fulfill her destiny soon.

Episode: 2961 In which we struggle to give meaning to the word infinity.  Today, infinity.

Who is Hari Seldon really? Is the Apple TV+ Foundation TV series character (or characters) in line with the one Asimov created 80 years ago? What bearing does his project to create a science capable of predicting and managing the future have on us today? Can a human creation become self aware and interact with its creator in totally unforeseen ways? Let's take a look at a few of these questions.Active Transcript (read and listen)Paul Levinson's Infinite Regress

Author Ajay Verghese discusses the article, "The Problem of Infinite Regress: A Stopping Rules Approach" published in the March 2023 issue of Sociological Theory. 

Joshua Hren is founder of Wiseblood Books and co-founder of the Master of Fine Arts program at the University of St. Thomas, Houston. His essays and poems have appeared in such venues as First Things, Catholic World Report, New Oxford Review, and LOGOS. His books include the novel Infinite Regress and a volume of poems titled Last Things, First Things, and Other …

Ever have one of those days where your head ends up dissected for parts? Or where all your old victims start taking you over and making you (ugh) PLAY WITH CHILDREN?! Well BOTH these things happen to our hapless ex-Borg this week. First up: she and everyone but Harry and Chakotay are dead thanks to bad math, so the survivors are hoping to wreck the Temporal Prime Directive to fix it in "Timeless". After that: Jeri Ryan has fun and we're a bit underwhelmed when a bunch of people take her mind for a ride in "Infinite Regress". Also this week: a Rudolph story, infinite ending, and possession! [Timestamps: Timeless: 01:56; Regress: 38:37; Possession: 59:45] [bloggz: https://at.tumblr.com/sshbpodcast/there-is-no-data-only-zuul-body-possessions-in/htxe55qhuzxz]

It's 8:30am and the girls are girling! Hold on to your butts because it's going to be a bumpy Seven of Nine time!

Joshua Hren returns to discuss his debut novel, Infinite Regress. "In the years since his graduation from St. Marquis University, Blake Yourrick has fled his family and Milwaukee, rotating from job to dead-end job—working the Bakken oilfields in Dakota and even signing on as the night caretaker of a rural abbey graveyard. Deep in student debt and estranged from his misanthropic, alcoholic father, Blake is haunted by the memory of his mother's death—and by his relationship with his college mentor, a defrocked priest named Theo Hape, who is known for his adventurous theological ideas as well as for the uncanny, seductive power he wields over his students. When Hape, learning of his former charge's desperate straits, proposes a perverse exchange of services, Blake finds himself tempted to test the professor's radical theories in real life. What follows is a metaphysical duel reminiscent of the novels of Dostoevsky and Bernanos, pitting a modern-day anti-Christ against a reckless but resilient young man and his well-meaning, dysfunctional kin." (Publisher's description) The book is particularly timely in its philosophical themes, as it treats the subject of metaphysical deconstruction used as cover for sexual grooming in the world of education. Thomas and Joshua discuss the novel's defrocked Jesuit villain, the protagonists' escape from a philosophy which makes good dependent on evil and so eliminates the boundaries between the two, the book's themes of monetary and metaphysical debt, its comic tone, and Hren's unusual associative prose style.

I think I need to listen to "Flowers in the Dirt" again. That's the 1989 Paul McCartney album where Sir Paul collaborated with Elvis Costello. I was hoping that Elvis might bring some of the sharper edges that John Lennon brought the Lennon-McCartney songwriting duo. No such luck as I recall but maybe 32 years farther on I'll hear something new. What brought that up? Well with Hari on the mend from his excursion to Upperside we've decided to take a quick break from Prelude to Foundation before we begin our excursion to Mycogen. We're joined this time by Paul Levinson; Fordham University Professor, author, singer-songwriter, podcaster, all-around renaissance human. Lots of that springs from his philosophy, "If I enjoy something, I try to do it," he says. We chat about robots, the Foundation, robots, Asimov, robots, artificial intelligence, robots, and lots of other things. Also robots. Want to know more about Paul? Check out his blog, Paul Levinson's Infinite Regress, or his podcast Light On Light Through, or his Twitter feed, @PaulLev. You can take it from there. Oh, and that Flowers in the Dirt thing? That was mentioned in Paul's new short story, "It's Real Life," an alternate history involving the Beatles. You can read that for free here. But first, our latest Episode: "Your Podcast is Obscure but I Think I Understand." Let's go!

This week I'm sitting down to talk bass with one of the greatest bass players of modern prog rock: Colin Edwin. Colin Edwin is most well known as bass player in Porcupine Tree, one of the biggest prog bands of the last 30 years that split up in 2010. He's also played with Henry Fool, Tim Bowness, O.R.k and has also released four of his own solo album including his latest 2020 release Infinite Regress. In this interview Colin gives us an insight into his musical background and jazz influences as well as his interest in odd time signatures, playing with Gavin Harrison and much more.

David J. Loehr, a man of many talents joins Scott to discuss VOY’s “Infinite Regress” (S5E07). We spend a lot of time talking about what we don’t like about this episode only to reveal, shockingly, that we liked it overall. Worth the price of admission to see all the characters Jeri Ryan does! Plus Harry Kim is almost not in the episode. Host Scott McNulty with David J. Loehr.

Mit dieser ersten Reise beginnt unser Abenteuer.

It's another super weird day on Voyager when a biotech weapon meant to eradicate the Evil Borg causes their Good Borg to manifest the personalities of her previous victims. Can the team shut the weapon down in time to save Seven and avert a diplomatic disaster? Will Seven survive this forced reconciliation with her murderous past? Will the whole thing come off like a community theater production of “Sybil in Space?” Is “Infinite Regress” GOOD… or is it GARBAGE?

Another day, another chance for Janeway to screw over the entire Delta Quadrant as we review "Infinite Regress". Jeri Ryan turns her Acting Shields to maximum as she takes over the episode with a smile, but are the real victims the Tron Turds? Of course they are!

Sam Payne was a physicist on the verge of discovering the true nature of reality when her project was shut down. But a suspicious gift enables her to go underground to an illegal world of virtual work, in order to try and recruit rogue scientists to restart her research. As the risks pile up, and the heat is on, she realizes what she’s been seeking for the last three decades of her career has been hidden in plain sight all along. But the answer is also far more dangerous than she could have imagined. We perceive our day to day experience as the one-and-only, true reality. But the truth is, our perception of reality is very different than that of a catfish, bat, or dog; which can respectively taste, hear and smell far more acutely than we could possibly imagine. So what is the true reality, beyond this seemingly impenetrable veil of perception that shrouds human sensory capabilities? Is it something we can even comprehend using the limited wetware of the human brain? Or does such a thing as reality even exist?

This week on Prog-Watch my special guest is Colin Edwin, who is perhaps best known as the bassist for Porcupine Tree and O.R.k.! Colin and I chat about his illustrious career, and along the way I'll be spinning lots of great music from his time with Porcupine Tree, his current band O.R.k., his collaboration with Lorenzo Feliciati, and his solo career, including a couple from his brand new album Infinite Regress!

My Album Of The Week ; Infinite Regress by Colin Edwin ( Porcupine Tree ) Also including music from : Dire Straits ( Live ), Space Traffic, Moon Halo, Millenium, Nektar, Projekt Gemineye, The Mute Gods ( The First 3 Feature ), Moon Safari, Different Light, Steven Wilson ( Live ) & Godsticks

"Infinite Regress" Rewrite. One of Char and Tristan's favorite things to do on To The Journey is rewrite an episode of Voyager that could have used some extra love.

Voyager’s Funniest Moments. Voyager arguably has some of the funniest, most memorable moments in all of Star Trek. In this episode of To The Journey we talk about our faves—including Jeri Ryan’s amazing comedic talents. We learn that Tristan thinks she almost out-doctors the Doctor in "Body and Soul" and Lorrie thinks she could probably recite the Rules of Acquisition from her performance in "Infinite Regress." But Char stuck with Janeway and her understanding of the caffeine orgasm in "Bride of Chaotica!" What are your funniest moments?

Welcome to Light On Light Through, Episode 77, in which I discuss concerns that I and other civil libertarians have raised about U.S. Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's views of the First Amendment, in particular her suggestion that objectional speech - such as hate speech and in pornography - can be restricted by government if it uses laws against physical abuse in hate crimes (which are indeed Constitutional and necessary for the government) to chill or limit the speakers.Links:my Infinite Regress blog piece:  Concern about Kagan's First Amendment positionmy Daily Kos blog piece, with extensive commentary:  Concern about Kagan's First Amendment positionJames Doty's defense of  Kagan in SalonJonathan Turley's critique of Kagan, with link to her article about combating hate speech and pornographyLight On Light Through podcast interview with the Doningers about Sotomayor's decision in their caseMy 2005 Fordham University Keynote Address:  The Flouting of the First AmendmentHuffington Post discussion of Obama's address at Hampton Universitymy 2009 book, New New Mediahome page: http://paullevinson.info more blogs: http://InfiniteRegress.tv more podcasts: http://Levinsonnewsclips.com                                          videoclips: http://www.youtube.com/user/PLev20062006                                                                            published on 3 September 2009:  New New Media my latest novel: The Plot to Save Socrates "challenging fun" - Entertainment Weekly "Da Vinci-esque thriller" - New York Daily News and Brian Charles Clarke says The Plot to Save Socrates "resonates with the current political climate . . .
