Document Summary

The cartesian theories resulted in gaps between phenomenon and cognition. How does the mind generate explanations about the mind? with 1) the loss of the biblical narrative to due science; and: the separation between wisdom houses (monasteries) and intellectual houses (universities) We cannot contextualize ourselves in our own worldview. The recent progress of research in cogsci and the progress of buddhism into the west is driven by cultural imperative, to defeat the meaning crisis. Note that the meaning crisis is not just personal! The meaning crisis, the economic crisis, and the environmental crisis. John will do cogsci with us in class . References: the philosopher/sociologists jurgen habermas and charles taylor. Ancient greeks and classical christians used 3 normative spheres (how one believes and perceives) to judge the world: truth, goodness, beauty. To greeks/christians, these three concepts are deeply interconnected, and unified in god. However, after the scientific revolution, protestant reformation, these 3 normative spheres became isolated from one another.

. Identical twins share the same genotype, meaning their geneticmakeup is the same. Researchers have discovered, however, that thephenotype (or the observable expression of a gene) of identicaltwins grows apart as they age. Our genes influence how we respondto our environment, and at the same time the expression of ourgenes are changed by the environment around us; therefore therelationship between genetic and environmental influences cannot beeasily separated In sum, it is easier to find sociological,cultural, or environmental explanations for variation in humanabilities, intelligence, or personality traits. The seeminginheritance by family of some of these traits may well be acombination of something genetic and something experiential orcultural, but when looking for the actual underlying causes,genetics has repeatedly come up wanting while environmentalexplanations do a good job of addressing a fairly large part of thevariation we see.

Basically, "The Big Short" is a movie and a fictionalized recap of what happened in the securities market and banking sector when the subprime fiasco took place. It has been noted that when a similar kind of fraud took place with the Savings and Loan Crisis in the 1980's that a number of the bad actors were imprisoned. No one went to prison as a result of the subprime crisis - though it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of jobs were lost, thousands of homes, particularly in California, were foreclosed upon and a number of communities were decimated by what had occurred. Since that time, some financial regulation designed to head off a similar disaster has been put into place, but most experts contend that those rules still put the economy at grave risk of a similar crisis.There has been talk of reintroducing the Glass Steagall regulation that would prohibit banks to participate in sepculative investment banking activities, but it has gone nowhere and the current congress and administration are moving toward less financial regulation - not more. Given the state of the regulatory climate and the protections that are currently in place for the investor, what should you do as a personal investor, saving for retirement, as a licensed professional who audits these firms (or firms that invest with these banks), or as a licensed professional who deals with tax compliance for these firms? How do you protect yourself and your clients from in this environment? What will you do going forward knowing some of the risks of the financial industry?
