Welcome to Unending Process - the evolutionary thinking tank....podcast.
This is a continuation of the Permanent Evolution and Sympathetic People podcasts.

In part 1, we talk about some of the problems with university education, including the importance of being challenged and mentoring.
In part 2, we talk about the origins of evolutionary thinking in the ancient world, and then take a random walk across the philosophical landscape, touching on the mind, Buddhism, ethics and a bunch of other stuff....

Episode 7 Part 1 - Reading: must philosophy departments diversify?
Episode 7 of the Permanent Evolution Podcast.
In part 1, Dr Coludar and Dr Jackson discuss an article - "If Philosophy Won’t Diversify, Let’s Call It What It Really Is" - published in the New York Times in 2016 which caused quite a bit of controversy.
The original article can be found here: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/11/opinion/if-philosophy-wont-diversify-lets-call-it-what-it-really-is.html
And some of the commentary can be found here: https://storify.com/BryanVanNorden/ethnocentrism-strikes-back
In Part 2, we play a new game - "Devil's Advocate" - in which we come up with a proposition then throw (digital) dice to find out who will be defending it and who will be attempting to refute it. This time round, the proposition was "Non-native species are alien and damage the integrity of ecosystems, their eradication must therefore be a priority for conservation efforts."
Thanks for listening!
