Professor Bonevac, I wanted to ask you a question about analytic:synthetic distinction, which you explained in one of your videos: are geometry theorems analytic or synthetic? Typically abstract representations of geometric figures are used to prove these theorems. But some axioms in geometry can’t be proved and were found empirically.
Thanks Dan. this one hits a lot of Chords for me.. so to speak. My Labor department supervisor told me to be a Philosopher, but no one wants to hire me so I am reduced to stealing beers from gas stations, and Cvs's and so on. I really cant think of anything better to do with my time. I tried to sue the university that turned me into this monster, but people think I have no case. Honestly, I just want to go back to Russia but even that's not working out. I am so lost. and confused.
Always good to hear from you professor Bonevac....
I didn’t see the Kent’s ethics video come through but it’s been 8 months!!!!! Glad to see a fresh upload hope all is well!

It's about progress, not perfection. Do the next right thing. One thing at a time. One day at a time.

What if I don’t think myself worth much of anything, much less worth perfecting. How do you will yourself to do that?
Wow 😮 to advance for me. I'm totally lost😮. Maybe biblical philosophy for beginners is better for me.
