Dr. Lee Basham
Remember: All answers are found at recent posts on our podbean podcast; (See “Philosophy Radio” (https://drlabasham777.podbean.com). They must be in before 11:00pm Friday when Bb shuts down. They shut it down, I don’t know why.
- How does our Elk encounter allow us some insight into Buddhism? What is the story? What is the “Alan Jackson event”? What does it illustrate about fame and family? Explain in your own case.
- How does Keating argue for a freewill position on opportunity? Detail his various points and respond. Is he essentially correct or has he neglected factors that should alter his position significantly? Please explain. What is your view of your opportunities and your role in taking them? Please explain in your own case.
- Why might we suspect there are alien incursions into the Earth’s atmosphere? Detail your own, if any, experiences. What is your position on “UFO”s as understood above? Are they real? Or advanced government devices? Explain.
- Define conspiracy. Define conspiracy theory. Do you think “conspiracy theory” means “false”? Explain. What do honest definitions of CT help us recognize? Is CT still viewed as mentally defective by the majority of the population? What is Baker’s account of the destruction of the WTCs? Detail. Is he correct? Or not? Explain your view and why your view is apparently correct to you.
Thanks! See you next semester in our classroom!
