Ethics of Philosophy Qusetion
If we actually belive that philosophy can help people and we take into consideration the age old saying; "first food, then philosophy". Should we then focus our attention on those who have food an can therefore benefit from our inquiries, or should we work to make the large number of people who don't have food, able to address philosophy?Join me on Twitter or Facebook for updates.

Plato, Not Prozac!
Plato, Not Prozac!: Applying Eternal Wisdom to Everyday Problems.
I thought this sounded interesting although I haven't read it myself.
"If you're facing a dilemma -- whether it's handling a relationship, living ethically, dealing with a career change, or finding meaning in life -- the world's most important thinkers from centuries past will help guide you toward a solution compatible with your individual beliefs. From Kirkegaard's thoughts on coping with death to the I Ching's guidelines on adapting to change, Plato, Not Prozac! makes philosophy accessible and shows you how to use it to solve your everyday problems.
Gone is the need for expensive therapists, medication, and lengthy analysis. Clearly organized by common problems to help you tailor Dr. Lou Marinoff's advice to your own needs, this is an intelligent, effective, and persuasive prescription for self-healing therapy that is giving psychotherapy a run for its money."

Fake Job Searches
I was astonished that this takes place. Did you know that departments actually post jobs when they have already chosen a candidate? This is so offensive. Purposely waisting other peoples time is so disrespectful.

The basic rules of a market economy — even golden oldies, like a link between supply and demand — just don’t apply.
