Yair Shalev Seahawks

My name is Yair Shalev and I am a huge fan of the Seattle Seahawks. Led by second-year quarterback Russell Wilson, who went to the University of Wisconsin and by Marshawn Lynch, who went to the University of California, Berkeley, the Seahawks are a formidale team with a devastating defense. I go to most of the home games and enjoy being part of the 12th man.
I even have a jersey with my name on the back, “Yair Shalev“.
Check back on my blog after every Sunday to see my thoughts on the latest Seahawks game.

Britney Spears Hit Me Baby One More Time by Yair shalev

I actually get quite a few search terms related to Britney Spears that bring readers to the blog. The chief search term is hit me baby one more time or variations thereof. The offending post is this one from Iraq: Ten Years Later where I described a couple of Iraq kids singing the Britney Spears song while I watched from tower guard.
Incidentally, Britney Spears was a theme during that deployment. I have a few posts that mention her.

Philosophical Story Challenge of the Week

puritySo, you all know that on Saturdays we do philosophy challenges, and I’ve been focusing on wealth and poverty issues for the past couple of months. Last week, or the week before, I asked a question about the concept of a ‘fair wage’ and whether or not that was even a meaningful term in a Capitalist society. This week, I want to build on that idea some. Honestly, I think the previous question is a good one, but I also think that we need to go farther with the question. I think, as a general basis, the concept of a ‘fair wage’ has no meaning in a generally Capitalistic society… unless that society is ‘just’. I want to stress here that I am using ‘just’ in the Platonic sense of ‘rightly ordered’. In Plato’s philosophy justice was the virtue of having a rightly ordered soul. That is to say that the three parts of the soul (rational, spirited, and appetitive) were all doing what they were intended to do, and not shirking their duties or usurping someone else’s. Plato also sets this out in his just society where the Guardians (rulers), Militia (soldiers), and Laborers (… … laborers…) were all doing their jobs. The laborers weren’t trying to be rulers or soldiers, and the soldiers weren’t trying to be laborers. However, rather than any concept of rightly ordered roles, I want to argue that a capitalistic society must have rightly ordered values (i.e. the importance that we place on entertainment, education, health, exercise, virtue, income, etc) in order for the concept of a ‘fair wage’ to have any meaning at all. Further, I think (though I haven’t thought this argument through entirely) that a capitalistic society with rightly ordered values could not fail to have a truly fair system of wages. So, take this idea and run with it. Agree? Disagree? Think I’m completely loopy and need to become a communist? Write me a 1000 word story that exemplifies and defends your response to this idea. Oh, and have fun!

Yair Shalev Woodland Zoo

This blog by me, Yair Shalev, as you all know already, chronicles my love of my hometown, Seattle, WA. In particular, this entry deals with the Woodland Park Zoo.
I visited the zoo recently and saw the most amazing animals.
Here is the mission statement of the zoo:
Woodland Park Zoo saves animals and their habitats through conservation leadership and engaging experiences, inspiring people to learn, care and act.
For more than 110 years, Woodland Park Zoo has been a cherished community resource and a unique urban oasis. Generations of Puget Sound families have come to the zoo to marvel at the animals and be inspired by the peaceful and beautiful surroundings.
Check back to this blog by Yair Shalev soon to see my reviews of particular animals I saw at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington.
