Moral Skepticism - Philippa Foot (1970)

A criticism of moral skepticism in which expressions of form is analyzed and found to be other than skeptics have maintained. Moral concepts are suggested to have primary and dependent uses. The skeptics have latched on to the dependent; hence, their error. #Philosophy #Ethics #Metaethics

Why science is NOT 'Just a Theory'

Have you ever heard ‘evolution’ dismissed as ‘just a theory’? Is a scientific theory no different to the theory that Elvis is still alive? Jim Al-Khalili puts the record straight. Subscribe for regular science videos: http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibe There’s an important difference between a sci

Why You Should Never Say "It's Just A Theory"

A portion of our culture distrusts the scientific method, assuming that there are transcendent truths unknowable by science. But nothing is truly out of bounds for science. If it's real, it can be studied, and tested. Perhaps the greatest misunderstanding our culture has about the scientif

Scarcity, Trade-offs, and Cost/Benefit Analysis

A core concept we must discuss if we are to understand economics is scarcity. Our wants and needs are endless, but the things we want and need are necessarily finite in nature. Therefore, we can say that these things are scarce. They run out. If they didn't, economics would not exist, beca

Sylvia Frühwirth-Schnatter: Bayesian econometrics in the Big Data Era

Abstract: Data mining methods based on finite mixture models are quite common in many areas of applied science, such as marketing, to segment data and to identify subgroups with specific features. Recent work shows that these methods are also useful in micro econometrics to analyze the beh
