| Monday Apr 16, 2012 | Using Markov chains to create chatterbots is nothing new -- they've been on IRC for years -- but there are some particularly entertaining ones on twitter these days. Many of you know about @horse_ebooks, for example. But how many of you know about the unmistakably hilarious, indistinguishable-from-the-source-material @zizek_ebooks? Markov chatterbots may have met their match in Slavoj Zizek's peculiar brand of ranting. to Philosophy by isosceles |

| Tuesday May 20, 2003 | The Great Debate: What is the philosophy behind The Matrix? Is it Gnosticism? Buddhism? Islam? Is the correct psychological interpretation Jungian, or should one look to Lacan? Does the film promote Christianity, or is it, like Star Wars, anti-Christian? What would Joseph Campbell think? Even the official site has its own set of opinions.

| Tuesday Jun 11, 2002 | In 1996 physicist
Alan Sokal
wrote an
article
for the prestigious
post-structuralist
literary journal
"Social Text"
in which he claimed that all of
physics is
relative to the observer
. It was a
hoax --
intended
by Sokal to
highlight the
liberal intelligentsia's
drift away from
social issues and
toward
navel-gazing.
There was
just
a
little
acrimony. to Philosophy by n |

| Thursday May 25, 2000 | While anarchy.org almost seems like any oxymoron, anarchy.com is downright distasteful. It's not surprising to come across some porn, but the only logical top-level domain is still available There's always anarchy.gov, now there's a web site I'd like to see. to Philosophy by rsf |

| Thursday Mar 9, 2000 | Dee Hock is the man with a plan, creating the VISA network which is more Bazaar than Temple in structure. Such an organization is named chaordic and defines an entire business philosophy that borders on the metaphysical. Dee has spent a number of years teaching his gospel, and there are fine examples of his point of view, how VISA evolved, and some implications of chaordic institutions for the future. In the past five years the technically minded press, for example Fast Company, have reported on his ideas, and his recently released book has made excellent reviews. Apparently, others have taken up the slack and the concept is proving to be more than a buzzword emerging from the fractal-crazed late 1980s. to Philosophy by urog |
