    Episode #77 / Accidents
    Dec 24 2023

    We examine the underlying causes of accidents and the extent to which they can be anticipated or prevented. We then turn to the subjective experience of being in such accidents, as well as the broader social responses, often marked by indifference or a lack of empathy toward victims. Further, we consider the question of responsibility: whether individuals can reasonably be held accountable for every accident, or whether responsibility should be evaluated in light of their knowledge and circumstances. We conclude by reflecting on the inevitability of accidents, asking whether this renders an unattainable Utopia, and what, if anything, might be done to transform the reality we inhabit.

    Episode #76 / Future of Education and Mathematics (part III)
    Dec 3 2023
    For the third time on Lunch Logic, we introduce new insights on helping the public engage with mathematics and other STEM subjects. We start by introducing the idea that emphasizes the importance of processing and understanding the information rather than merely “learning” it. We give examples of some of the coolest discoveries we’ve learned from our past math and science classes and reflect on how captivating they can be if taken properly. By trying to resolve this problem, we introduce the idea of bringing seminars into not just humanities courses but in STEM subjects as well since having to think and reflect on the meaning behind these discoveries is not only beneficial to appreciate our reality better but also enhances learning. We also talk about how important it is to come into the world as if you are awakened into the world and not accepting reality as it is and how this world can be viewed as a giant playground. To help the public engage with math and science, we introduce how we can combine those disciplines with their history and the impact they had on human civilization to help students understand better. We also talk about what causes the public to shy away from including math and science theories into the box of “common sense” and discuss how ironic it is that disciplines that indefinitely dictate our fundamental reality aren’t considered to be as important. We briefly mention the fear from the students behind new mathematical symbols and how they are caused simply due to the lack of knowledge within the subject and that one should lean more towards a state of excitement rather than a state of fear. We end our conversation with the limitations of the educational system and what we can do to help people with different abilities and interests as much as possible by connecting our topic to the overall educational system.

    Episode #75 / Superstitions, Fear, and Control
    Nov 26 2023
    We dive deeper into the nature of superstition and question the why and how behind its existence. These questions include whether it works, why it exists, whether it will go away, and whether it should go away. We also try to understand the motivation behind them by understanding humanity’s nature to confront fear and impose control as well as how our lack of knowledge enhances the belief.
