Skip to search - Accesskey = s. A Philosopher's Blog. Aristotle and the Quantified Life. By Michael LaBossiere on May 13, 2015. While Aristotle was writing centuries before the rise of wearable technology, his view of moral education provides a solid foundation for the theory behind what I like to call the benign tyranny of the device. Or, if one prefers, the bearable tyranny of the wearbable. What is needed, according to Aristotle, is the guidance of some intelligence or right system that has effective ...

Short Stories: Horror, Science Fiction Film Review. Sunday, June 26, 2011. Doha Tribeca Film Festival (2010). My first Tribeca experience was a half-baked plan. However, the second time around would be a real life adventure. Instead of wandering New York Streets, this time I hopped a plane to Qatar. I was a little apprehensive but also excited to experience the Doha Tribeca Film Festival. And of course, it’s never a dull moment with me. 8220;The Two Escobars,” a documentary by Jeff and Michael Zimb...

Short Stories: Horror, Science Fiction Film Review. Monday, March 22, 2010. Chac: The Rain God 1975. First there were the Mayan’s, then along came the Spanish. As a result, a culture existing previously for thousands of years would never be the same. Roland Klein’s film “Chac” (The rain God) is a story of Mayan culture. And for me, a story very reminiscent to Chinua Achebe's “Things Fall Apart.”. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Chac: The Rain God 1975. Alexander Acosta's Film Review. The Element of Crime.

Despite the post name, this is not about getting rid of your principles (although that could be handy for folks considering a career in politics). Rather, it is about when it is acceptable to delete comments from a blog post. Blog moderators will vary in what is considered tolerable in regards to tone/style. Those that prefer a rougher approach will tolerate more negati...

Short Stories: Horror, Science Fiction Film Review. Monday, December 28, 2009. Last Year at Marienbad (1961). I watch many films. So many it’s hard to blog about them all.

Skip to search - Accesskey = s. A Philosopher's Blog. By Michael LaBossiere on May 15, 2015. A federal appeals court ruled in May, 2015 that the NSA’s bulk collection of domestic calling data is illegal. While such bulk data collection would strike many as blatantly unconstitutional, this matter has not been addressed, though that is perhaps just a matter of time. My intent is to address the general issue of bulk domestic data collection by the state in a principled way. Given the available evidence, the...

Interestingly, while students who have good (A or B) grades tend to have good attendance, relatively large numbers of students are able to pass (C) despite poor attendance (missing more often than not).
