Today we talked about David Hume and Adam Smith. The video is posted here. A second short video is here. Oddly, the question for the quiz turned out to be why do bras cost so much?
I think Marketing of products geared for improving how women feel about them selves and sexism that sells clothing or the lack of for that matter drive the cost of Bras up do to the demand from a society that has been taught to admire sexism as an social norm by TV and social media over the years.

I remember going to college with all my early beliefs still intact. I was raised Roman Catholic. Jesus was my personal Savior. They held together until I switched my major to Philosophy in the second summer. (I was doing so poorly in music that I had to switch in order to bring up my point average enough to continue in school). I had changed to Philosophy primarily because I had no idea what I wanted to study, or should study. Philosophy offered the most, free electives (you couldn't just take any courses you wanted to back then) and by taking free electives in Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology, I figured I could find out what I would like best. As it turned out, I liked Philosophy best.
