Mr. Morini.
► 00:00:02
All right.
► 00:00:03
Hi, everybody.
► 00:00:04
You have good lunch?
► 00:00:06
Are you all carved up?
► 00:00:08
Ready for some good philosophy?
► 00:00:10
All right.
► 00:00:10
Sorry, some people over there said they couldn't hear me.
► 00:00:12
Is that better?
► 00:00:13
Kind of got a deep throat this thing now.
► 00:00:14
Okay.
► 00:00:16
Well, thanks, of course.
► 00:00:17
I just wanted to mention it's really been great to meet all the listeners to Freedom Aid Radio who say it's kind of weird to see you in the flesh.
► 00:00:27
I'm buffering for you just so it feels a little bit more like a true internet experience.
► 00:00:34
Now pixelate.
► 00:00:35
Now pixelate.
► 00:00:36
Oh, you know what?
► 00:00:36
That gives me such a migraine.
► 00:00:39
I get all Picasso and then, no, that's no good.
► 00:00:43
So, if you remember from this morning, ethics sucketh.
► 00:00:49
I think that's where we left off this morning.
► 00:00:51
Ethics suck, but they don't have to.
► 00:00:52
So that's what we're going to try and work on a little bit this afternoon.
► 00:00:57
So, this is Philosophy 101, real quick.
► 00:00:59
I'm sure a lot of you are aware of this.
► 00:01:01
This is how philosophy, I think, should be taught.
► 00:01:03
So, this is audience participation afternoon, so feel free to jump in.
► 00:01:09
Okay, so, let's say I say I do not exist.
► 00:01:16
Still here?
► 00:01:17
Yeah, okay.
► 00:01:17
So, I do not exist.
► 00:01:19
What's wrong with that?
► 00:01:20
Performative contradiction.
► 00:01:21
Yeah, it's performative contradiction.
► 00:01:25
If I say you do not exist, you're not going to believe me, right?
► 00:01:28
Okay, who here has never donated to Freedom in Radio?
► 00:01:32
Okay, good, because I don't want to smoke any donators if I'm wrong.
► 00:01:35
If I say you do not exist, does that make any sense?
► 00:01:41
I guess if I haven't donated, maybe.
► 00:01:43
Yeah, if you don't exist, I'll get my PayPal account, and that's to me the same thing!
► 00:01:47
But no, so, if I say, you do not exist, that clearly makes no sense.
► 00:01:51
Right?
► 00:01:52
Because I'm pointing at you and saying, identifying you as a discrete entity, saying, you do not exist.
► 00:01:57
So, I do not exist, you do not exist, makes no sense.
► 00:02:01
How about, language has no meaning.
► 00:02:10
We're going to be all tricky now.
► 00:02:12
Language has no meaning.
► 00:02:14
Does that make any sense?
► 00:02:16
Why not?
► 00:02:19
I have to pick specific words that have meaning in order to communicate that language has no meaning.
► 00:02:24
Sound does not exist.
► 00:02:29
Yeah, but you can, but then I'm just contradicting myself, right?
► 00:02:31
I mean, I can make up whatever nonsense I want, and I've certainly been accused of that in the past, but sound does not exist.
► 00:02:37
It's like mailing someone a letter saying, letters never get delivered.
► 00:02:45
Okay, so this is to me the essence of philosophy.
► 00:02:48
Everybody knows this old Hume thing.
► 00:02:50
You can't get an ought from an is.
