A value capture is a case where your values are rich and subtle or in the process of developing that way. And you get put in a setting or near a technology or an institution that prevents presents you with a simplified typically quantified version and the simplified version takes over.

TEDx Talks· 2026-01-23 16:05
So people are saying there's a problem with the humanities. Beloved subjects like classics, English, philosophy, history, they're all in crisis. My name's Nick Aar and I'm a professor of philosophy.So, I get to see this crisis close up. Um, it's it's a challenge and it's something that you can't overlook. I get to see the empty lecture theaters. I get to see the slightly depressed colleagues. I get to see the expressions on the faces of the unsupported politicians.Somehow the story got around that humanitie ...

philosophy. I've got a philosophy class right now. Uh we begin the class by reading works by people who think that life is terrible.People who think it would be better if we had never been born. And I'm there reading these with the students and I'm saying, "All right, everybody, let's find the strongest arguments we can." in this book for the conclusion that life is terrible and it would be better if nobody was alive.

Why philosophy is like plumbing | Sam Langsdale | TEDxMenlo College
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-09 17:43
If I ask you to imagine people doing philosophy, does the image that comes to your mind look something like Raphael's painting, The School of Athens. For many, philosophy conjures images of wized men roaming hallowed halls arguing about capital T truth. While impressive, this depiction is not necessarily relatable for those of us living in the 21st century.In fact, I found it so difficult to connect to this representation that I thought there may have been a mistake when I received my first faculty job offe ...

Artificial General Intelligence & Robotics - The discussion revolves around whether robots and droids with artificial general intelligence will ever be considered persons legally, morally, and philosophically [1] - The industry explores the properties and qualities that humans possess as selves and persons that robots currently lack but may potentially gain [1] - The report considers the necessity of robots possessing free will to be considered persons [13] - The industry acknowledges that current robots are not programmed with feelings, emotions, urges, and desires, but anticipates potential future developments in this area [16] Historical & Philosophical Context - The analysis traces the concept of personhood back to ancient Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, highlighting their contributions to understanding the self [1] - The report references Homeric automatons and the evolution of psychological terms from ancient Greek, emphasizing the shift from concrete to abstract meanings [1] - The study examines Socrates' concept of a "divine sign" or "ruling principle" (hegemonicon) as a precursor to the notion of self [2] - Plato's ideas on rationality and the internal struggle between knowledge and desires are explored [4][5][6][7] - Aristotle's concepts of "bolis" (voluntary) and "proharesis" (choice/comprehension) are presented as key elements in understanding human action [8][9] - Stoic philosophy, particularly Epictetus' emphasis on autonomy and free choice, is discussed in relation to the development of the self [11][12][13]
Philosophy: Think Your Way To A Better Life | Alison Allsopp | TEDxGosport
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-23 15:49
Thank you. Let me start with a simple question. When was the last time you paused, truly pause to ask yourself, why do I do what I do every single day.Not just for your to-do list, not for the endless scrolling, but pausing to ask yourself, what really matters to me in life. What do I believe in. For most of us, life moves fast.We run on assumptions of who we should be and what we should achieve. But what if there was a reason to slow down, to think more reflectively, to find some clarity, to ask better que ...
