  • The Communist Manifesto

    The Communist Manifesto
    Feb 25 2025
    In this People’s Episode of the BroCast, we review the book that launched a thousand conservative backlashes: the surprisingly sedate and measured Communist Manifesto, written by Marx and Engles. Written in a time of rapid and seemingly gathering reform, the Manifesto became the soundtrack to the revolutions of 1948-49, and had far reaching consequences, from the American Civil War to the Russian Revolution. Yet for all that, it’s a terribly misunderstood piece of political writing that most people never bother to read. If they did, as we discover in this episode, they might find that many of its arguments remain as vital today as the day they were written.

  • Roger Penrose: The Bro Emperor’s New Mind

    Roger Penrose: The Bro Emperor’s New Mind
    Jan 4 2025
    Today the bros talk about a monumental, if flawed, effort to present a coherent argument against the idea that “Strong Ai” or the idea that consciousness arises solely from algorithmic processes (and that therefore the human brain is in essence a computer and the mind is a program). Does he succeed? Maybe. Probably not. But the process is very interesting. Bibliography: - Benjamin: The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction Re: physicalism, qualia, individuated sentience, Einstein-brains - J.R. Lucas: Minds Machines and Godel - Searle: Minds Brains and Programs Re: Chinese Room -A Historical Overview of Ai Winters Re: Framing effect, “Ai Effect” -Newman and Nagel: "Gödel's Proof" Re: mathematical incompleteness -Wallace: Consider The Lobster, "Authority and American Usage" Re: Constructing realities, being and consciousness -Hegel: Example Of The Hegelian Dialectic" Duality of being and nothing, dialectic processes, sublation -Christian: Big History Re: Watchmaker fallacy, God of Gaps, philosophy of knowledge -Assefa: Tiling the Plane Recent discovery of infinite non-periodic tiling shapes
