For at least two decades, the U.S. intelligence community and special projects agencies have been exploring the potential of prediction markets and crowd-forecasting platforms to better forecast geopolitical and technical trends. Similarly, a number of prominent corporations, including Google, Ford, Yahoo, Hewlett-Packard, and Eli Lilly, have likewise turned to these tools to predict everything from which product lines will be most profitable to whether a deadline is likely to be met. Yet despite this seeming opportunity, there remains a significant gap: almost nobody has deployed the tools for crowd-forecasting to cybersecurity problems. We propose to change that paradigm. We believe that a cybersecurity-focused forecasting market can create useful value-added information for decision-makers. To test this hypothesis we have begun a small beta test applying the principles of crowd-forecasting directly to a set of cybersecurity questions.This talk will provide background on the use of crowd-forecasting for policy and discuss some interim results of the ongoing beta test.

Čo je to zlo? Ako a kedy sa vmiešalo do nášho jazyka a prekvasilo ho? Prečo si dnes so zlom spájame túžbu po moci, egoizmus a svojbytnosť a s dobrom naopak rovnosť, altruizmus a schopnosť spolupracovať? A bolo tomu vždy tak alebo za to niekto môže?----more---- Na tieto otázky sa dnes pozrieme v spoločnosti Friedricha Nietzscheho, ktorý nebol len svojrázny nemecký filozof a proto-psychoanalytik, ale tiež filológ, teda jazykovedec.

More at www.philosophytalk.org/shows/comforting-conversations-pt1. In troubling, uncertain times, the arts and humanities are more important than ever. Engaging with works of literature can provide both much needed insight into our current struggles and a sense of perspective in a crisis. In what ways do novels or plays help us come to terms with human suffering? Can fictional narratives about past pandemics shed light on our current situation? And how can storytelling or music help bring us together in isolation? Josh and Ray converse with a range of Stanford faculty members about how philosophy, music, drama, and literature can provide comfort, connection, and a sense of community. • Lanier Anderson on Albert Camus' The Plague • Michaela Bronstein on narrative and fiction as imaginative tools • Ato Quayson on the social value of oral storytelling
More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/life-work-art. We know what it means for a painting to be beautiful. But what about a life? Like great works of art, great people exhibit style, originality, and creativity. Maybe, then, to live well is just to practice an ART of living. But what do the values that are important to a good life – happiness, moral goodness, or friendship, for example – have to do with aesthetic beauty? Aren’t the qualities that make a work of art good different from the qualities that make a life good? Is there really such thing as a "beautiful" life? John and Ken paint their masterpiece with Lanier Anderson from Stanford University.
More at: http://philosophytalk.org/shows/kierkegaard. Philosophy usually suggests a striving for rationality and objectivity. But the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard advocated subjectivity and the leap of faith – his conception of how an individual would believe in God or act in love. Kierkegaard, whose best-known work is "Fear and Trembling," is often considered the father of Existentialism. Ken and John explore the life and thought of this passionate philosopher with Lanier Anderson from Stanford University.
More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/philosophy-and-literature. What can we learn from studying philosophy? What can we learn from reading great (or not-so-great) literature? Some philosophers and literary theorists believe that philosophy and literature converge in a number of places. Great literature is often deeply philosophical, and great philosophy is often great literature, sometimes in the form of fictional narrative. Perhaps we can learn many of the same lessons from philosophy and literature. Can the methods of philosophy and literary criticism be combined? Are the truths they shed light upon complementary? John and Ken are joined by fellow Stanford philosopher Lanier Anderson to discuss the intersection of philosophy and literature.

Being and Nothingness, the for-itself and the in-itself, bad faith, and the existential predicament; these Existentialist concepts were central to the philosophical scene in Europe and America after World War II. Join the Philosophers as they examine the ideas of Existentialism with Lanier Anderson from Stanford University.
We usually think of mind control as part of the realm of fantasy, with witches and alien species as its perpetrators. But actually, mind control is all around us, in almost every area of our lives, and the consequences of ignoring its power range from failed pick-up-lines to genocide. In this episode, you'll hear stories of Stanford students who tried to out the calculated techniques of a famous pick-up artist at a campus party, poet Elizabeth Bradfield discuss how being a tour guide in Alaska involves mind control, and some of her and Emily Dickinson’s exquisite poetry. You'll also hear about mind control taken to its most extreme, from controlling the minds of whole cultures through fairy tales, to controlling only your own mind through lucid dreaming. Host: Rachel Hamburg Producers: Elizabeth Bradfield and Noah Burbank Featuring: Joshua Landy, Lanier Anderson, Fred Burbank, James Fearon, James Sheehan, William Dement, Christopher Collette, Ellora Karmarkar, Amber Davis and Lea Yelverton Producers: Noah Burbank, Ellora Karmarkar and Amber Davis Featuring: Joshua Landy, Lanier Anderson, Fred Burbank, James Fearon, James Sheehan More info at:http://web.stanford.edu/group/storytelling/cgi-bin/joomla/index.php/shows/season-1/103-episode-113.html
