What?s Your Baby-Naming Philosophy?
2012-01-10 19:00:00 A week or so ago, I stumbled upon Barbara Valencia’s intriguing baby-naming philosophy (posted to her blog Intimate Geography). Loved it at the first line: Naming baby is not about me! It’s not about showing how creative or intelligent I … Continue reading →

Ricketts and the New Cubs Spending Philosophy
2011-03-16 14:22:00 I've had a couple of excellent questions regarding Ricketts and the Cubs philosophy toward big spending from readers, so I've decided to write up a piece I'd been planning for a later date. So far it's hard to read Rickett's long term plans for the Cubs, but thus far in the short term it's apparent that his goal is to cut a bloated payroll while still trying to find good value on the open market. There is also an effort to leave themselves with more flexibility in terms of roster maneuverability and finances. Given the Cubs spending indiscretions of the past few years, that's a pretty sound plan. Step one is to undo some of the damage big contracts and...

Part III: Development of a Coaching Philosophy - "Achieving the Vision
2011-02-25 14:00:00 Whether it is a business, a team, or just some individuals' personal goals, we can get buried in information, knowledge, terminology, and jargon and lose sight of what's really important. We sometimes neglect what the real "bottom line" is. As I realized the need for my philosophy to be shorter, I thought of the slogan I used for years, "Play Hard - Play Smart - Play Together."

Part I: Development of a Coaching Philosophy - "Beginnings"
2011-02-21 14:00:00 Coaches are always looking for the secret to a team's success, and many of them generate long laundry lists of qualities and attributes that they want the team to strive to refine. These values that are most important to them are really the seeds of a coach's philosophy, and if they are tended to properly, the coach can establish a consistent approach to leading his team. When developed with some intention early...

A universe not made for us
2010-12-20 05:30:00 Carl Sagan (1934-1996) was a Cornell astronomy professor and author. Most significantly, in my mind, is his use of the image of Earth from the edge of the solar system, which is partially attributed to starting the modern environmental movement. Simply put, he helped us as humans rethink our place in the Universe. He also ...

Gross fraudulence: Gerald Moreno tries to ridicule Robert Priddy

Here is Why Philosophy is Often Filled With Pinheads
2010-08-22 19:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston OK, you read that headline and assume I'm some anti-intellectual, backwoods rube, right? Don't jump to conclusions yet. I am not saying that all philosophy is foolish, pointless, or idiotic. But often times people that study philosophy end up more interested in absurd postulations mounting on an always increasing scale until they are simply babbling nonsensically -- but using big words to do it. Take the so-called Sorites Paradox, for instance. Here is the claptrap that the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy lays on us to define the idea....

Democratic Societies Need To Face Issues On Cults
2010-01-08 23:21:00 In my colleague's and my extensive experience in exposing the global Sathya Sai Baba cult and its leader, India's most famous guru, we have found a striking fact: governments, and indeed whole societies, fail to face the problem of cults. The 'answers' of totalitarian regimes is of course to be repudiated at the outset. Indeed, in their authoritarianism, these closely resemble a great many cults, in any case! In some sense, they can indeed be deemed cults. Charismatic, autocratic leadership, enforcement of group-think, and punitive styles exercised against those who question are some characteristics that loom large.
Robert Priddy?s Views on Key Human Values in Relation To Sathya Sai Baba
2009-12-06 00:04:00 In the brief article - Human Values ? Sai Baba?s truncated ideas - Robert Priddy, an academic philosopher at the University of Oslo for many years, and a former head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Norway, states his view of what human values are, in contradistinction to "divinely-instated values for humans" as proclaimed by Sathya Sai Baba. Priddy writes: "The values according to [or against which] we act are unavoidable and essential links that tie together personal perceptions and judgements, motives and actions into the sphere of common cultural values. They are central to grasping the motivations of our social and political life. Sai Baba promotes his own brand of ?five human values?, which is a simple and often all too vague recipe. His biographer Kasturi writes that Sai Baba scribbled the 5 values down on the back of an envelope when Kasturi asked him to define them. Grabbed as if out of thin air without any deeper thought, it is quite evident how shallow, rigid and inco...
Basava Premanand Long Challenged Indian Governments To Come Clean On Sathya
2009-11-18 00:13:00 Among many attempts to awaken India to the great danger posed by chronic addiction to swamis, gurus and the like, the formost Indian rationalist B.Premanand tried to arouse government and public accountability. The odds he faced were utterly formidable. See my in memoriam tribute to Premanand, with whom I kept in touch over the years: Basava Premanand. Vale. A fighter for truth who lived what others preach One might have thought that the religious organizations, were they to have nothing to hide, would, in effect, have said something like this: Yes, we agree that horrible oppressions in the name of religion exist. We disagree with Premanand in regard to deism and disbelief. However, we are at one with him in wishing to stop exploitation, and we too will speak out very clearly, and do our best to ensure that you are not a voice crying in the wilderness.
Miyamoto Musashi: The Book Of Five Rings

Dr G. Venkataraman, Sathya Sai Baba?s Nuclear Boon Companion
2009-09-29 00:18:00 Robert Priddy is the former long-time head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Norway and a retired philosopher in the Social Sciences, University of Oslo. He has written insightfully on the extraordinary, often procrustean efforts of Sathya Sai Baba's head of Puttaparthi propaganda programs to rationalise his beliefs in Sathya Sai Baba. Though not a physical (actually, nuclear) scientist like Dr G. Venkataraman, he has an abiding interest in the sciences, and how a certain variety of scientists, in a great minority but with unfortunate influence far beyond their importance, falsely use science to buttress up their religious claims. The following information may be of particular value for journalistic and scholarly investigators, and also those institutions and agencies which the Sathya Sai cult in many countries attempts to influence - but without portraying their real agendas. For those who may like to hunt and peck among Priddy's writings on G. Venkataraman, I have excerpted fro...

Sophistry, Flattery, Art and Philosophy in a Commercial World
2009-09-13 20:00:00 In the modern understanding of the word, ?sophistry? has a decisively negative connotation. It refers to people who envelop, even purposely trick and deceive you with words. Nonetheless, the original sophists were a group of wandering philosophers; they would charge money for sharing their knowledge and were known for their reasoning skills as well as their manners of persuasion.The ancient Greek sophists, and often Socrates is mixed up with them, were said to be ?corrupters of youth? as their teachings often clashed with the conservative and age-old traditions of the Greek forefathers. By providing youth with a different definition of truth - away from the mindless following of rules and a more sharpened awareness of one?s own impact on the world ? these philosophers must have caused resentment in a society that preferred the already established morals and values.In this case, one should, however, point out that Socrates (and his pupil Plato shared this view) did not necessarily li...

Moral reasoning behind Lockerbie terrorist release
2009-08-21 07:04:00 Watch the video or read the statement below. What is Mr. MacAskill talking about? What are these "Scottish values?" Where do they come from? By his reasoning, every murderer should be released a few months before their anticipated death so that they can be with their family (why should anybody else receive less compassion than the murderer of over 200 people?). I notice no mention of God and Scots have begotten several famous philosophers so one would have expected a purely scientific, rational basis for the decision. I just can't figure out what it is. Actually, I do know. It's narcissistic, callous, emotionalism. Narcissism, because I'm sure MacAskill feels like a good person for releasing Al Megrahi. Emotional, because I don't see any other basis for his argument. Callous, because he doesn't care that the victims' families have to endure the spectacle of Al Megrahi being feted in Libya. It reminds me of a quote I saw on NRO, part of which said that leftist liberalism...

Philosophy of Rural Life
2009-03-05 07:55:00 ?I help my neighbours and my neighbours help me?, is the philosophy of life in our village. Faith, sharing, contentment, grit, hard work and humour are few others. There are no marriage halls or other renting places. Daras (community centres where cultural diffusion takes place) are very useful ?institutions? for functions or for elders to sit and teach irreplaceable heritage of ideas to the younger generation. The learning that passed on to me in Dara turned out to be very precious: it was the legacy of the fable. Tandoor (Oven for backing bread) is still a meeting and talking place for women.
