The revolution will be televised... (or at least appear on Youtube)

Here's an illuminating video by Jesse Prinz (UNC) on the "Third" revolution of philosophy.




Here's something else that's not so illuminating. WTF?!?

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week

I first heard about Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week on XM radio this morning. (Huenemanniac and Brian Leiter have mentioned it on their blogs.)

From what I can gather (in between the rantings and ideological dribble), student groups will dedicate the week of October 22 to getting the word out about the "truth" of the War on Terror. The "truth" they will be preaching is that all Muslims are a danger to Americans. They believe that Muslims are dangerous not because W. started the war in Iraq but because they are evil and immoral people.

The event is ideologically driven, and promotional material associated with the event is completely incoherent in many places.

In listening to the radio show, the hosts, as well as a prominent former United States senator, called for the destruction of Islam and the murder of all Muslims. They said that the first step in the process would be to detain every Muslim in this country.

Hmmm... uhhh... what is it that we hear about destiny and repeating history???
