Por el momento, solo podemos garantizaros que Dragones y Replicantes sigue más friki y más amateur que nunca.

Para el programa de hoy vamos a hablar de grandes científicos, pero enfocándonos en aspectos que suelen pasarse por alto en los libros u ocupan un tímido pie de página pero que a nosotros nos resultan fascinantes, como buenos frikazos sórdidos que somos. En efecto, vamos a hablar de esos aspectos de la vida rarunos, peculiares o extravagantes que hacen de los genios esos seres fascinantes y complejos que son.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.31.551301v1?rss=1 Authors: Hale, Z., Rasche, S. E., Beyh, A., Zeki, S. Abstract: In systems of logic (as in mathematics) axioms are statements whose truths are self-evident but cannot be proven; they are the foundation from which further propositional truths are derived. Previous attempts, led by David Hilbert, to show that all of mathematics can be built into an axiomatic system that is complete and consistent failed when Kurt Godel proved that there will always be statements which are known to be true but can never be proven within the logical system. But Godel and his followers took no account of brain mechanisms that generate and mediate logic. Here we show that in the case of so-called "optical illusions" there exists a significant and irreconcilable difference between their visual perception and their description according to Euclidean geometry. In psychophysical experiments, when participants are asked to adjust, from an initial randomised state, the perceptual geometric axioms to conform to the Euclidean description, the two never match. These results provide evidence that perceptual axioms, or statements known to be true perceptually, cannot be described mathematically. Thus the logic of the visual perceptual system is irreconcilable with the cognitive (mathematical) system and cannot be updated even when knowledge of the difference between the two is available. Hence no one brain reality is more "objective" than any other. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info Podcast created by Paper Player, LLC

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Aaron Segal, philosophy professor and student of both Rav Aharon Lichtenstein and Alvin Plantinga, to discuss God from the perspective of analytic philosophy. Analytic philosophy is mathematical, breaking claims into small pieces to rigorously analyze the language and concepts. The cost of this approach is its unwieldiness and high standards, which Aaron believes has precluded it from providing a capital-P proof of God’s existence. But one can still reason about God, and though some would claim belief in God is irrational, Aaron thinks its rationality is justified. -What are the approaches one can take to belief in God?-What are the limits of analytic philosophy in talking about God?-What are the limits of a philosophy like Plantinga’s reformed epistemology?-Can one’s knowledge of God be purely experiential?Tune in to hear Aaron talk about both the power and limits of reasoning applied to God.References:Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Ludwig WittgensteinKuzari by Yehuda HaLeviMetaphysics by Peter van InwagenAdvice to Christian Philosophers by Alvin PlantingaThe Source of Faith is Faith Itself by Rav Aharon Lichtenstein"The Source of Faith..."

Dr. Aaron Segal is a lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and formerly taught philosophy in Yeshiva University. Aaron received his doctorate from the University of Notre Dame, where Alvin Plantinga was one of his thesis directors. He has co-authored and co-edited books on Jewish philosophy, such as Jewish Philosophy in an Analytic Age. Aaron is masterful in his knowledge and comfort in the profound questions of analytic philosophy, and also received Semicha from the Chief Rabbinate in Israel.

Both men pushed at boundaries where mathematics presses on grand questions of meaning and purpose. Such questions, she says, help create the technologies that are now changing our sense of what it means to be human.
