Garden of ThoughtGarden of Doom E.245 DruidsMark Olly rejoins the Garden to discuss the mysterious druids. What is a druid? Did you know there were different Orders of Druids? Who were the Druids? Where were the Druids? What's the difference between a Druid and a Shaman? What's the difference between a Druid and a wizard? Were there female Druids? What about Stonehenge? Or other henges? We're guys, so we had to bring up the Roman Empire. Why did Cernunnos come up? Mark weighs in on the Freyja v Frigg debate and is she the Morrigan. All this and so much more,2024-09-061h 23
The Drunk Duck QuackcastGreek Myths!We're chatting about our fave Greek myths! Greek myths are foundational to a lot of Western culture, they're what superheroes are based on as well as all sorts of epic stories. Lots of scientific concepts and ideas are based on things from mythology. The stories resonate down through the millennia because they're so relatable and human- rather than being about stodgy perfect beings who live in a magical realm and guide their mortal charges like children, the Greek gods of myth have the same emotional drives, lusts, jealousies, and personal problems of any modern person living today. ...2024-08-061h 02

OMGMOClasification of models and idealizationsIn this episode we explore different classifications of models and dicuss problems such as the problem of accuracy (what does it mean for a model to be accurate and is it always something to strive for?), the problem of style (what are the different ways of representing?), and the problem of ontology (what types of things are models). We also discuss idealizations (omissions or distortions that make a model more explanatory or that allow it to be used mathematically) and the role it plays in scientific modelling.

A plausible account should be able to provide understanding of how representation operates. We explore the classical accounts of similarity and structuralism, as well as their shortcomings using the example of DNA.

Mistletoe Secret History
Some of the mistletoe secret history starts with the ancient Norse, Greek, and Roman legends. In Norse mythology, the god Baldur the Beautiful—son of the goddess, Frigg—was killed by an arrow made from mistletoe. As Frigg wept over her son, her tears became the pearlescent berries. Afterward, she declared that mistletoe would be a symbol of...2020-11-2020 min

MCMP – Philosophy of ScienceChaos beyond the Butterfly Effect: The Poison Pill of Structural Model ErrorRoman Frigg (LSE) gives a talk at the CAS Research Focus Series „Reduction and Emergence“ (13 November, 2013) titled "Chaos Beyond the Butterfly Effect: The Poison Pill of Structural Model Error" (host: Stephan Hartmann (MCMP/LMU)). Abstract: The sensitive dependence on initial condition associated with chaotic models, the so-called "Butterfly Effect", imposes limitations on the models’ predictive power. These limitations have been widely recognized and extensively discussed. In this lecture, Roman Frigg will draw attention to an additional so far under-appreciated problem, namely structural model error (SME). If a nonlinear model has only the slightest SME, then its ability to generate useful predic...2014-02-2155 min
