Philosophy Porn?

Found this and I am not sure if I should be enraged or laugh.....

First Philosophical Pornographic Movie is Coming Out
This riveting plot is sure to cause quite a few pensive rubbing of chins among philosophers, coupled with other less contemplative forms of rubbing. Does Mary, in losing her virginity with the zombie, learn something new? Specifically, does the feeling of having an orgasm add anything to her complete theoretical knowledge of the physiological effects of having sex?

Academic Peer-Review…Crowd Sourced

This seems seriously problematic.... but an interesting direction for open philosophy. What do you think?

Sympoze: a network of high-quality academic publications from various disciplines that utilizes crowd sourcing for the peer-review process. Crowd sourcing the peer-review process improves a number of problems with the current academic publishing model.

Call for Proposals – Conference: “Advancing Publicly Engaged Philosophy”

I thought this might interest some of my readers. It is put out by the Public Philosophy Network which I have blogged about earlier.  "The Public Philosophy Network invites proposals for a Fall 2011 meeting on Advancing Publicly Engaged Philosophy.  The conference will include a mix of formal and informal sessions on various issues in practical philosophy, including concrete projects and political problems as well as discussions of larger philosophical questions about how to engage in philosophical activity outside the academy."

Online Lectures (free)

Audio books, lectures, videos and other free philosophy material.

I personally like taking walks and listening to lectures.
