I am puzzled at around 46.40 La Blanc scoffs at a student suggestion that a ripple effect is a causal model. Why not? There is a single cause (e.g.,dropping a stone in a pond) causing the outward transmission of energy which can have many effects. The term could be used metaphorically in many contexts. Why isn't it a causal model?
If you think about "assessing risks" you are going to see that the subjective "linger effect" matters the least. I expect Mr. Trump knows that sort of thing.
Have you talked to anyone about meta ethics? I’d be curious what your stance is on the realist/anti-realist debate when it comes to morality.
