Dear friends, #Congress (#INC) likes to claim that it "fought" for #India's independence & refers to its political opponents as #fascists. How many of you know that only did #INC *not* EXCLUSIVELY "fight" for #Independence (AND #Gandhi was "happy" to settle for #DominionStatus)+
But also the party known as #INC by #IndiraGandhi was *not* even the same party that was formed in #1885 ? A thread about the #Congress follows: +
In 1883, retired civil servant (AO #Hume), a #Scottish ornithologist. Hume first expressed the idea that "educated" #Indians should fight for greater freedom and representation for themselves in the #British government of #India, claiming it as both the Indians' right and duty +

I'm very excited to say my book "How #Kant Matters for #Biology" will soon be published! The thread below explains some of the key issues dealt with. I'm essentially resituating Kant in relation to biology, especially with key figures in the develop of biology in the in Britain. Image

Chapter 1 focuses on debates about Kant's influence on biology. I push back against how #influence tends to be understood in #philosophyofscience and argue that we need to recognise the importance of #misunderstanding - especially for Kant's philosophy. 1/10

#Incident reporting should follow & precede #riskmanagement?
The two are slightly different areas of specialization
in the office environment.
It is akin to the debate between #reliability and #safety.
Both are contrasting concepts in organizational #resilience studies.
They are certain leading businesses including big banks that have separated incident reporting desks from risk management co-ordination cells.
Actually, incidents are events which require an eye and a taxonomy for recognition.
Coding outcome events into loss database is essential
The most difficult area in financial risk management was the coding of operational risk incidents or potential events having adverse negative probabilistic outcomes, which can yield material quantifiable losses in the financial statements.

Quelle est l'origine de nos jugements moraux ?

La réponse de David Hume et d'Adam Smith. 🧵 Thread : [1/25]

Adam Smith (1723-1790) est un philosophe dont la pensée ne se réduit pas à la théorisation et à la justification du capitalisme ou libéralisme économique. Tout comme David Hume (1711-1776), il fait partie du courant "sentimentaliste", approche philosophique [2/25]
selon laquelle nos états affectifs, notamment les émotions et les désirs, sont au cœur de nos évaluations, notamment morales. Mais Hume et Smith se distinguent de certains autres sentimentalistes en soutenant il n’est pas nécessaire de postuler l’existence d’un [3/25]

Para empezar, podríamos preguntar de forma análoga a Aristóteles y su teoría del esclavo natural: ¿dónde está la ventaja o beneficio?

Hume, Kant, Hegel y el racismo antinegro: ¿dónde está el beneficio?
John Locke, estado de naturaleza y colonialismo de colonos, ¿dónde está la ventaja?

La Ilustración europea, la invención de la blancura, el contrato racial, la trata de esclavos africanos, el imperialismo y el genocidio de los pueblos indígenas: ¿dónde está el beneficio?

On April 20th @Dom_Perrottet and @BradHazzard announced easing of self isolation rules and lifting of vaccine mandates. A week later is there any increase in freedom? The answer will not surprise you.

The update in "General" only adds another place where the government claims to own you if you are over 12 years old. Another decrease in freedom

The pain and joys felt by all human beings are more or less the same!
Then why keep double standards?
When thinking about #Afghanistan and other wars around the world, we must not lose sight of the great philosopher #Hume!
A moral premise will also have a moral conclusion.
well, Aldous Huxley, the famous British Psychologist, used to say that it is important to note what divides human beings against what unites them.
Simply put, differences should be recognized ahead of similarities.
how would fascists use the above statement?

We are being feted by #ideological #purists who pretend that they would never want the American economy restarted until the risk that a single life will be lost is reduced to zero.

Maybe you're a purist as well?

Well, maybe you are, but maybe you aren't.
Have you ever benefitted from the transshipment of goods through the #PanamaCanal?

Did you ever benefit from power generated by the #HooverDam?

Then you are feasting on the remains of the human life cost of construction.
Yes, you have enjoyed the #cannibalization embodied in risks related to the #construction of dams, canals, buildings, ships, roads, etc.

So how many lives is your front porch light worth?

Take a look to get an idea:
