Happy birthday to #philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) who, amongst other things speculated about a teapot orbiting in space.
This lino block print of Russell's Teapot is part of my series of Imaginary Friends of Science of charismatic thought experiments. In this case, the alledged china teapot, in orbit between Earth and Mars is an analogy….

How a Huguenot Philosopher Realized That #Atheists Could Be #Virtuous
Christians long held a monopoly on virtue—until Pierre Bayle made the case for moral atheists
by Michael W. Hickson
Bayle: "It is no stranger for an atheist to live virtuously than it is strange for a Christian to live criminally. We see the latter sort of monster all the time, so why should we think the former is impossible?"

A political philosopher and expert on civic ethics looks at the big picture of the #Midterms, and says it's an exaggeration to call it an endorsement of Biden's agenda or rejection of Trump's agenda.
"U.S. democracy today is driven by partisan identity rather than policy. Elections thus are won not by changing the minds of undecided voters, but by mobilizing the party’s base."https://theconversation.com/midterm-election-results-reflect-the-hodgepodge-of-us-voters-not-the-endorsement-or-repudiation-of-a-candidates-or-partys-agenda-194010

Last month philosopher Roman Kryznaric gave a speech about the importance of being good ancestors. He was joined by members of XR Oxford who spoke about what the movement means to them. Abha gave a moving account of her first hand experience of the effects of climate change. We are asking as many people as possible to join us on 21st-24th April in London.

After reading Academic philosopher Rupert Read's film review on Avatar: The Way of Water, I look forward to seeing the movie.:
"there is much that is weak in the film, but let that not obscure something inside it that’s so strong. The real point is to make our stand; to try to attain the wisdom of whales, and the intelligence of indigeneity and of our own wisdom traditions. The Way of Water includes repeated teaching on breathing techniques and meditation, teachings that, as I watched, I found myself breathing along with. Is there any other mass-audience movie that has attempted anything like this?
"As our own planet continues to die, listen deeply for the word that is about to be spoken. Maybe you can help speak it."

‘[To Medieval philosophers and economic theorists t]he unpardonable sin is that of the speculator or the middleman, who snatches private gain by the exploitation of public necessities. The true descendant of the doctrines of Aquinas is the labor theory of value. The last of the Schoolmen was Karl Marx.’
