    Butterflies and Wheels

    About:

    Butterflies and Wheels has been established in order to oppose a number of related phenomena. These include:

    1. Pseudoscience that is ideologically and politically motivated.
    2. Epistemic relativism in the humanities (for example, the idea that statements are only true or false relative to particular cultures, discourses or language-games).
    3. Those disciplines or schools of thought whose truth claims are prompted by the political, ideological and moral commitments of their adherents, and the general tendency to judge the veracity of claims about the world in terms of such commitments.

    Here are some of my favourite audiovisual intellectual stimulants:

    broodsphilosophy - large collection of videos of conferences, lectures etc. with a philosophical and neuroscientific theme

    Beyond Belief conference - very good

    Princeton public lectures - loads of stuff here. I like particularly the ones by Penrose and Jared Diamond

    I'm surprised that no one has yet mentioned the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). They have a bunch of podcasts at http://www.cbc.ca/podcasting/

    The CBC podcasts include:

    CBC Ideas: How to Think About Science
    http://www.cbc.ca/podcasting/include...outscience.xml

    CBC Listener's Choice:
    http://www.cbc.ca/podcasting/include...nerschoice.xml

    TVOntario is another Canadian public broadcaster. They have some podcasts, including their Big Ideas lecture competition series.

    Librivox makes public domain audiobooks. I have enjoyed several of those, including dramatized plays of William Shakespeare.

    For more recent fictional audiobooks, there is Podiobooks.com
