Alain Badiou recently wrote this article on Hegel's master/slave dialectic, but did so asking the question as to it's relation to real slavery. It answers the question quite nicely while also providing an extremely clear reading of Hegel's argument.

Frederick Beiser also wrote a book on Hegel (there are ways to get the PDF version of this if you look in the right places) that is clear and does a good job dispelling the common misreadings of Hegel.

Peter Singer's Very Short Introduction to Hegel (again, available as a PDF in the right places) is also extremely clear and well written.

If you're serious about reading Hegel, pick yourself up a copy of Phenomenology of Spirit and read through it with Gregory Sadler's Lecture series. He goes through paragraph by paragraph explaining the whole text. He's extremely engaging and extremely insightful.

If you can't get enough Hegel and you want to go all in, I'd recommend The Hegel Variations by Fredric Jameson, Hegel: Three Studies by Theodore Adorno, and Less Than Nothing by some Slovenian guy.

Sorry if that's overkill, hope it helps!

Well you're in for a treat with John Bartholemew. He's my favorite. Also, if you have a chance to get the ChessMaster software it is absolutely amazing. Josh Waitzkin is a great teacher and does an amazing job on the lessons.

In my opinion it is a very strong argument and it's summed up by the idea of the Anthropic principle:

A similar book that I really enjoyed was Michael Coreys "The God Hypothesis":

But yes, in the absence of any Scientific Evidence for things like the cause of the Big Bang, the perfect balance of our natural laws, and the perfection of the Earth itself, the Multiverse theory was thrown in to try and come up with some kind of response.

I may be remembering wrongly, so take what I say with loads of salt.

Shouko was bullied, yes, but blames herself for being deaf, and so is sorry for existing and being a bother to her family, society etc for having to accommodate her and so on, so much so that she had wished she'd be dead in her younger years, which was what made the younger sister want to protect her from others and picking up death photography to dissuade her from the idea of death.

As for the male lead, I'd say he eventually won her heart for being one of the firsts from her past encounters to come out, apologise, willing to hang out of her, and even bringing friends she never knew she had, with varying degrees of success of course. He was the boy she eventually lashed out at for all the bullying, but she was more... (Mad? Sad?) for being deaf, for being different.

I'm sorry, not good at these discussions like those r/manga or r/anime discussions. I'd really recommend reading the original source though, you can either read the english licensed ones from e.g. Amazon, Kobo, Bookdepository, Google Play Books, or borrow from Overdrive if you are in the right region or check if your local library/ comic seller has them. Or read the scanlated version or ahem pirate it.

Oh, and here's a translated special chapter that came with the release of the movie in Japan, just a little side story. Read the panels from right to left, just like any other manga.

Every game in that series just has a baller OST. I have a lot of it mixed in with my 'real music' on playlists and having to then explain the game to people is rarely easy and always fun.

There's a REALLY great book on Katamari's development that L.E. Hall wrote, I can't recommend it enough. Takahashi's approach to art is incredibly inspiring, and the short section on how they made the music is great.

> But the way he talks about how Monopolies come and go is sort of the proof that they aren't really problems.

From the video, Standard Oil, American Tobacco, and Microsoft are all examples of competition and innovation stifling companies that resulted in government anti-trust action. Since the 1980s, US anti-trust law has loosened to mean only companies that destroy consumer surplus via artificially high prices. One of the interesting debates of the past couple years has been whether zero-cost monopolies Facebook and Google are stifling innovation. The EU has produced court rulings within that past year that indicate they believe the answer is yes. See this most recent stratechery post for some analysis.

If you're interested in the formation of the modern corporation, and the evolution of the railroad/commodity collusion and legislative bribery that allowed oil and steel magnates to become the world's richest people, I'd recommend Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr..

I literally had no interest in popcorn until this video.

This video inspired me to try out some over priced gourmet popcorn.

Spoiler alert: Not worth the price

That said, it was cool to try and compare the tastes between them.

I think the most importorant thing to do with popcorn is to NOT go with the microwave bags. Stick to stove top. Orville Redenbacher is a cheap(and honestly the way to go) route.

I don't have much experience with dry poppers though I want one.

first thanks a lot, great comment. since it's obvious you are increadibly knowledgeable, i want to ask you a question: isn't the multiverse theory basicly a response to books like

https://www.amazon.com/Just-Six-Numbers-Forces-Universe/dp/0465036732

that basicly says that the fact that we live in an inhabitable world in no shorter than a miracle? doesn't this theory try to explain in scientific way the unprobability of our very existence?

I absolutely loved the talk. He is a great storyteller, and I felt invested in the subject matter. I'm buying the book, it's here for anyone interested: http://www.amazon.com/So-Youve-Been-Publicly-Shamed/dp/1501231847

There are protective glasses available that can resist actual bullets (anything that meets the MIL-PRF-31013 specification), usually listed as 'Ballistic eyewear'. They can be a bit expensive, so it might not be an option for most of the protesters there. But it'll protect a hell of a lot better than those safety goggles shown
in the video.

EDIT: Looks like Goggles that meet the MIL-DTL-43511D standard might be the best bet. as they're not too expensive. It's kind of hard to tell what the best choice is though, there's a lot of different specifications for these things... it's down right confusing.

Regardless, it'd definitely have a good chance of saving some eyes.

EDIT 2: Alright, this post from an airsoft subreddit clears up some of the standards confusion. So MIL-PRF-32432 is basically the same as MIL-DTL-43511D if they're both goggles, either will do the job. Where as MIL-PRF-31013 was a lower rated standard for eyeglasses, and also applies to MIL-PRF-32432 sunglasses (not goggles).

What John is essentially talking about here is Neoliberalism. If anyone is interested in learning more, David Harvey has a fantastic introductory book called A Brief History of Neoliberalism. Our current economic develop trajectory began in the 1970s and is increasingly creating these enticing investment opportunities for corporations at the expense of the masses. Whether you're liberal, conservative, republication etc., your government has been economically neoliberal for the past 45 years.

allow me to make such a recommendation! Ever since my Lit. teacher had me read "How to read literature like a professor" as summer reading, my entire ability to interpret novels on a deeper level--and not just novels, but lots of other media--was changed for the better

I like authors who kind of adopt the Edgar Allan Poe method of writing: don't mention the thing unless it adds to the story

Interesting. I hadn't heard of The School of Life, but I took a low-level college philosophy class and one of the required books was The Consolations of Philosophy by de Botton. I would definitely describe it as very light reading.

That anti-capitalist notebook is hilarious.

I'm currently reading a great book, Flash Boys , that goes into this. It's actually what got me researching and coming across this video. People were/are making millions from having this competitive edge, paying tens of millions to save literal nanoseconds.

I too am an outsider, and have no formal education/experience in the stock-market but this stuff is just so interesting!

• Here is the author of said book with the main character, Brad, debating with one of those who benefits from this speed
  
  
• Here is another video about the book and how all of this works. Super intriguing, will take you on a journey.
  
  
• Here is a tutorial on what "High Frequency Trading" is and how it works.
  
  
  

It sounds like this video is much based on Tim Marshall's Prisoners of Geography. If you are interested in these ideas of how geopolitically rich the US is compared to almost any other country (other than China and India) I would highly recommend checking out the book.
