| 2014-03(Mar)-19 Wed | The capitalist delusion. (Joffre Balce) | ||
| Capitalists make claims that many are quick to accept but do not bother to check, such as its origins, what a market is, what government is for and what primarily drives an economy. This presentation aims to confront the myths that many capitalists live by and encourage discussions on what an economy really is. | |||

| 2013-06(Jun)-19 Wed | Why mainstream economics cannot get us out of the GFC (Joffre Balce) | ||
| The economic frameworks that attempt (1) to balance profit maximization with maximum consumer satisfaction and (2) to assume an intellectual and ethical ascendancy over the human frailties in socially engineered markets have resulted in social injustices manifested in miserable involuntary poverty, gross inequality, and the stifling of the personal pursuit of excellence. This discussion discusses a more basic foundation for the purpose of political economy -- the primacy of rights & their equality as the basis for limitations. | |||

| 2013-04(Apr)-17 Wed | Why Philosophy can't help you. (Nathan Sinclair) | ||
| The tendency of modern academic philosophers to avoid supposed larger issues of human existence is not due to cowardice or having somehow lost their way, but is a principled response to their understanding of the limits of reason and knowledge. Not only is the demand for a more "meaningful" philosophy from the general public (and university administrators) misplaced it is actively damaging. Vainly disguising philosophy as a sort of church of rationality while in fact assisting to reducing philosophy to a mere form of cultural expression. This view is most pithily expressed by Wittgenstein: "The correct method in philosophy would really be the following: to say nothing except what can be said, i.e. propositions of natural science - i.e. something that has nothing to do with philosophy - and then, whenever someone else wanted to say something metaphysical, to demonstrate to him that he had failed to give a meaning to certain signs in his propositions. Although it would not be satisfying to the other person - he would not have the feeling that we were teaching him philosophy - this method would be the only strictly correct one." | |||
