15. The Problem With 'Your Fault' Political Rhetoric
<p>In Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine wrote the frantic song “Your Fault,” where characters spiral into blame as their world collapses around them.</p><p>That moment feels strangely familiar today.</p><p>From reactions to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, to debates surrounding the war in Ukraine, the conflict in Gaza Strip, and the political rise of Zohran Mamdani, public discourse often follows the same pattern: each side insists the other must “learn their lesson.”</p><p>But what if that mindset is exactly what keeps the cycle going?</p><p>This video explores the dangers of blame-driven politics, the logic of punitive rhetoric, and whether a healthier political culture—one that separates critique from condemnation—is still possible.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>#Philosophy #Politics #PoliticalPolarization #IntoTheWoods #StephenSondheim</p><p><br /></p>

14. Eternal Recurrence, and Theories of Time
<p>In The Gay Science Friedrich Nietzsche introduces a thought experiment of Eternal Recurrence. Here, for fun, I discuss how, if taken seriously, the reality of time under Eternal Recurrence would compare against contemporary theories of time; in particular, J.M.E. McTaggart’s A, B, and C theories of time.This is a hybrid philosophical and creative essay designed for viewers who enjoy analytic philosophy, Nietzsche studies, metaphysics of time, and conceptual thought experiments.</p>

The Jack Lawrence Interview | Just Thinking | #13
<p>Jack Lawrence is a content creator and a philosopher of science. In this conversation we discuss university education, epistemology and thought experiments, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.Though I am early in my own content-creation journey I can safely say this was one of the most fun I’ve had in an interview / conversation so far. Thank you Jack for your time and perspective, and openness to ideas.Socials:https://johnhoelzer.substack.com/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552940388004https://x.com/JohnHoelzer1Outro Sound Credit - SC: Password Infinity - music by EvgenyBardyuzha</p>
