An online school for the right? Michael Millerman 2024-10-04 | There are a lot of complaints these days about the crisis of higher education. Students don't real full books.

Can LLMs Clarify the Concept of God?

Whatever Works? Michael Millerman 2024-06-07 | In this spontaneous musing, I dive into the surprising connections between two films: Whatever Works and Another Round. Both movies explore the complexities of love, life, and personal growth, showing that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to finding happiness and meaning.Drawing on insights from philosophy, I discuss how these films reflect the idea that life's advice isn't universal; what works for one person may not work for another. This theme is echoed in the characters' experiences with love and drinking in the movies, highlighting the unpredictable nature of life.But I also discuss how Whatever Works doesn't mean that Anything Goes! There is still room for good life advice, and you'll hardly find a better of that than Socrates, especially the down-to-earth version we get in Xenophon's Memorabilia. I also discuss Bukele's recent Tucker interviews as an example of common sense wisdom..

Plato on Religion and Homosexuality Michael Millerman 2024-06-05 | In Plato's Laws, the Athenian Stranger tells his Cretan counterpart that the myth of Zeus and Ganymede was invented to provide divine cover for illicit sexual desires, a startling accusation or suggestion meant to remind us of the ways that the divine can be invoked for all-too-human causes. The Laws is possibly greatest Plato's greatest dialogue and this is just one of countless incredible moments in it.

Allan Bloom: How Universities are Failing to Educate Students Michael Millerman 2024-05-03 | "Students in our best universities do not believe in anything, and those universities are doing nothing about it, nor can they." That's how Allan Bloom begins his 1982 essay on "Our Listless Universities," an analysis of the crisis of higher education that he expands in his famous book The Closing of the American Mind. In this video, I read and comment on Bloom's essay. The universities are still in a crisis. That's why there's a Millerman School (MillermanSchool.com).
Alexander Dugin on Tucker Carlson! Michael Millerman 2024-04-30 | Tuesday Livestream. Discussing Dugin’s political thought. As you might know, I translated several of Dugin’s books into English and have been writing about his theory for about ten years. I teach him at my online school, MillermanSchool.com, I have a chapter on him in my Heidegger book, and I have published a collection of my writings on him into a book called Inside ‘Putin’s Brain’: The Political Philosophy of Alexander Dugin (find them both at DuginBook.com). I figured we could use this livestream to just go over some of the basics and maybe look at recent articles by him or do a Q and A. Come join the Tucker-Dugin afterparty.
What is more enchanting than a world full of gods? Michael Millerman 2024-04-26 | This video discusses immanentist vs. transcendentalist approaches to the problem of a disenchanted world. Is a world full of gods really what seekers are looking for?I prefer the transcendentalist option but there's more to the story: Mysticism combines them, and Heidegger's philosophy somehow gets beneath the opposition between them. But still, hopefully this is a good first point of reference for people thinking about disenchantment and re-enchantment.Leave your thoughts below.Brought to you by MillermanSchool.com
