Dave Chappelle should know better, but he doesn’t

Dave Chappelle’s most recent stand up special “The Closer” was heavily reported on for its controversial remarks. Soundbites were taken from it and played on cable news. Many YouTube videos were made of creators reacting to it. With all the talk around it, no one seemed to bother to ask, was the special actually any good?   Honestly, it was pretty OK. There were some very funny moments […]

What is the purpose of World Philosophy Day?

I have never really been interested in philosophy, and that is why hearing that there is a day dedicated to philosophers was surprising to me. It turns out that the third Thursday of November is World Philosophy Day, created by UNESCO in 2002.
