@dwcongdon It was truly masterful. When you have the time, check out Kurzel's 2015 Macbeth with Fassbender and Cotillard. I've worked with the cinematographer, Arkapaw, and he shot it so incredibly well. Way different than Coen's though to say the least!
@DanKoch@FilipinoBear science. Caused behaviors outside our control are understood through a reconceptualization of the unconscious in combination with prewired neural plasticity and genetic influence. A theologian with a good grasp of cognitive psychology could articulate this very well. 2
@DanKoch@FilipinoBear A problem you’ll run into is that behaviorism is largely rejected by modern psychology, having been replaced in the course of the cognitive revolution. You might have better chances of finding someone arguing in favor of “judge not” as supported by the deliverances of cognitive 1
@cecilymwhiteley@lastpositivist Sometimes it IS thought to be circular. Williamson for example explicitly embraces the safety condition as circular. But others, like Pritchard, do indeed try to formulate the condition in a non-circular way. W's Anti-Luminosity chapter in Knowledge & its Limits is great on this.
@lllogansays Great work on this thread. Always love some proper syntactic analysis and translational insights. More reasons still why I wish Paul was a more universally recognized intellectual instead being relegated mostly to religious studies.
@ErikMKort Oh no I had finished thank you! We're in perfect agreement as I too was referencing Acts. Modern Christians can misapply this quick transformation to their own leaders, whereas the author of Acts was just compressing time like many authors of his day to get his point across.
@ErikMKort One reason why the change is so dramatic is that there’s decades of transformation compressed into a couple chapters in order to communicate the author’s point. No one should transform like this in 3 days, but neither did Paul. 3
@ErikMKort The Paul at the end of all this, over 20 years after conversion, is the Paul Luke had in mind literarily while writing Acts, itself written 20 years after Paul’s death. 2
@DanKoch @_danielrosado @ReconstructPod Nothing changes. I am more or less in possession of those assumptions. There aren't any cars or driveways without minds. I think we perhaps agree, therefore!
