Blue Devil Productions is proud to present Myq Kaplan on our campus for a free comedy show.
Myq Kaplan's stand-up show is loaded with an abundance of jokes, leaving the audience wondering what to do with all the laughter. He delivers a high-quality performance that engages the brain, the heart, and the funny bone in unexpected and charming ways. His unique and universal approach to comedy is impressive, and he manages to transcend the limitations of space and time, delivering powerful philosophical truths with hilarious puns. If the great thinkers of history were alive today, they would undoubtedly attend his show. You might even believe that Myq's talents are better suited for academia, but as you wipe away the tears of laughter, you'll be grateful that he isn't.

Cryptocurrencies raise vexing normative questions across a number of topics including money creation, censorship, financial inclusion, governance, and privacy. These topics are not purely technical, and require an integrated approach that draws on computer science, philosophy, economics, and more. This talk is an extended examination of the last of these topics — privacy — through a case study of bitcoin, the oldest and most important cryptocurrency. Financial privacy is under threat from a range of private and public actors. Popular digital payment networks exacerbate the problem. This talk will show how bitcoin can be used to enhance privacy along four dimensions, despite its transparent and publicly accessible ledger. These results raise questions about the value of privacy and how to best pursue it. A novel taxonomy of "cypherpunk" theories will illuminate these questions and show how bitcoin's curious approach relates to some familiar political categories. We'll conclude with an ethical framework for weighing financial privacy against other values – especially the public’s interest in curbing criminal activity. Bitcoin’s similarities with physical cash guide the way forward and suggest this irenic parity thesis: if cash makes the world better off, then so does bitcoin.
Dr. Bailey is Associate Professor of Humanities (Philosophy) at Yale-NUS College. He has a new book (w/ Bradley Rettler and Craig Warmke), Resistance Money: A Philosophical Case for Bitcoin, recently published by Routledge.
This event is sponsored by the Center for Applied Ethics and the Menard Center for the Study of Institutions and Innovations.

“Every day brings a choice: to practice stress or to practice peace.” – Joan Borysenko
It’s that time of the semester when everything starts to feel more stressful. Mid-term projects and papers, as well as exams that are all lined up on the road ahead. Here are some tips to help manage your stress during this time:
Make a list of the things you need to do and prioritize it from most important to least important.
Take a break and allow yourself space to connect with others or yourself.
Stay active by going for a short walk or bike ride. Physical activity is a great stress relief.
Have some quiet time for yourself. Practice deep breathing or journaling on your own.
Step away from screens for 15 minutes. Reduce the amount of things you see from other people online and focus on the moment you are in now.
