Philosophy Now Forum

Hello...I just joined this forum, but I've been an avid reader of Philosophy now since grad school...I recently made a video version of this week's Philosophy Now question contest, and I was hoping that some of the people on this forum would take a look at the video and respond with videos or comments. The video is:

Kind of a nerdy thing to do I know...BUT hope you'll take a look and respond.

Thanks.
Karen

Hi Karen, and welcome.

The best society is one in which we can disagree about what the best society would be, but still get along.

2bsirius,

I love the video. I'd like to enter, but I don't have a webcam. How about 400 written words - or are you also judging us by appearance? Might be kinda fun to put some faces to psuedonyms.

Hi Karen, that sounds pretty neat. I'll try to write one out. I'm terrible when any type of time restraint is on me, but will try:) You should write one too, would love to hear your thoughts also

You can get webcams very cheap nowadays, less than ten pounds.

I will probably enter this competition soon, in both print and video forms.

I would be tempted to do a Youtube version and a PN version and see which wins. Perhaps one would slant arguments of one towards a certain point of view whilst submitting a variation to you tube.?
Youtube could be used to pose questions etc PN should use it to full.

Good evening, Karen, here is my entry:

Patriarchy.

Here's mine: 'Pluralism'

I may expand on this later
