Zen and a Robot. Koji Tanaka (ANU) @ Philosophy Hall Rm 716

Against the serene backdrop of Kōdaiji’s traditional architecture, Mindar’s presence was a striking fusion of modern technology and centuries-old tradition. While Mindar was largely well-received in Japan, its debut[...]

Aristotle’s Practical Epistemology. Dhananjay Jagannathan @ The Heyman Center, Second Floor Common Room, Columbia U
Jan 27 @ 6:15 pm

The beef, or feud, between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar, which came to widespread attention in April-May 2024, is easily the highest-profile beef since the East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry of the mid-1990s, involving at least 5 tracks from each of the rappers, as well as a plethora of material released by their associates.
