29 分钟Today we talk about the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben. Human rights, a political tactic to dehumanize groups that has been growing in popularity, governments declaring states of emergency and how the concept of potential may in fact be a unifying force. https://www.philosophizethis.org

So the other day, I was taking a walk with my friend around my neighborhood.
It was like 430 in the morning.
It was about 20 degrees fahrenheit outside, so well below freezing.
Grounds covered in frost and black ice.
It's pitch black outside.
I'm sliding around everywhere trying to get a morning walk in at 430 in the morning, like a complete genius here.
And then my friend who doesn't read any philosophy, he turns to me as we're doing all this, and he says, so this guy you're talking about, Giorgio Agamben, what's his whole deal?
You got any idea of what you're gonna say this week?
And right when he asked me that, I'm walking downhill and I hit this giant patch of black ice.
