My documentaries, the documentaries that I recommend

Marketing and now clever bots are proof enough that people were never in control of their destiny, and thus never free on the "poker game"...soft determinism a brand of status quo in which Dennett betted in heavy some years ago is a flop...picking on Philosophers for defying him on his own "red hearings" as he softly correct his course and dodges criticism is just bad losing!

His take on Religion was a disaster and a total failure to understand the role of communal beliefs systems on Metaphysics for the masses...so many things fly over his head on his march for pragmatism while playing lipstick for pseudo Science rigor were there is none that one is left questioning his motives...


That said, Dennett still is with all his flaws one of the most relevant thinkers around, the best of his work comes up when he is not in stubborn mode. I just wish some traits of his personality were just good enough such that Dennett was more straight forward with himself!

Black Mirror is back and Beyond the Sea season 6 episode 3 is my favourite episode so far.
An unexpected return of one of the best series ever made period!

Warning spoilers ahead!

Music "La Mer"(The Sea).

My reply on youtube:

Incidently you have not just made a case against AI as we perceive it to be right now, but also against the distinction between data gatherers, Scientists, versus Philosophers..."not understanding at a conceptual level" is sadly a problem that affects a great deal of our own human population. A classical case of good at Maths and Physics and bad at Philosophy or and Literature comes to mind...there is plenty of Philosophy to be understood in Science and more often then not we stump on brilliant Scientists without one yota of Philosophical conceptual instinct! (Lawrence Krauss is perhaps one of the best examples of this failure to understand) Not wanting to sound partial there are terribad Philosophers aloof since man walked the Earth but that perhaps is just a testament to the challenges of good Philosophy being extremely hard to obtain!

TY Fil, live long and phosphor us.

Speculation on cyclic models is dear to my minds heart for obviously logical philosophical reasons...

Simon Whistler's snippets are always worth the space and time.

This generous compilation, by far the best here, is much appreciated.

Bots everywhere...a highly exaggerated theory to a somewhat factual problem!

Lets not omit one small detail in Anglo-Portuguese relations shall we:
