The caption of it is the part that we're really interested in, and it shows him with his head in his arms saying “workaholics when they run out of workahol”.And, you know, the point there is, of course, humorous. There is no such thing as workahol, but we could think of t...2025-02-1114 min

Dick's speech "The Android and the Human", given at the Vancouver SF Convention at the University of British Columbia, in March 1972.
It focuses specifically on Dick's view that the distinction between the mechanical or electrical and the animate is beginning to break down in late modernity. He also suggests that in addition to looking to machines, computers, and androids to understand the human, we should reverse the analogy and use our understanding of human nature to better understand the machines that are...2023-07-2317 min
Sadler's LecturesJ.R.R. Tolkien, On Fairy Stories - Eucatastrophe, Evangelium, And Joy - Sadler's LecturesThis lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century English author, linguist, and literary critic J.R.R. Tolkien's essay On Fairy Stories
It focuses specifically on his discussion, at the very end of the work, of what he terms "eucatastrophe" (as opposed to duscatastrophe) as a function of fairy stories, the "happy ending" that occurs through pain, suffering, loss, but not a final defeat. There is a joy both for sub-creators and for readers or listeners of the stories, and it is connected to the good news or evangelium that comes through the stories.

Sadler's LecturesJ.R.R. Tolkien, On Fairy Stories - Escape's Legitimacy - Sadler's LecturesThis lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century English author, linguist, and literary critic J.R.R. Tolkien's essay On Fairy Stories
It focuses specifically on his discussion of the common criticism that gets made of fantasy, science fiction, and fairy stories, namely that they are escapes from the reality of the ordinary life that we have a duty to remain with. Tolkien thinks this misguided, and offers some reasons why escape might be a reasonable and valuable thing to engage in.

It focuses specifically on his discussion near the end of the work of recovery of what has been lost (sometimes without us even realizing it) through fairy stories. He also addresses the problem many people impose upon themselves, worrying too much about originality, rather than seeing that creativity is possible even with few and often-used elements.

It focuses specifically on his discussion bearing upon four connected terms and ideas: sub-creation, sub-creators, secondary worlds, and secondary beliefs. Successful fantasy and fairy stories involves the author as a sub-creator, producing and offering to us a secondary world in which we can believe and within the scope of which things can be true.

It focuses specifically on the passage where he distinguishes three "faces" of fairy stories, "the Mystical towards the Supernatural; the Magical towards Nature; and the Mirror of scorn and pity towards Man." Tolkien claims that the magical is the essential face, but the other two are often involved as well. We also go into his later distinction between magic and enchantment.
