Very happy to see my article come out in Bioethics, after much work with such a smart and patient coauthor as Ana Komparic (and key upstream support by Cécile M. Bensimon). And extra pleased that it's open access! doi.org/10.1111/bioe.1…
C. S. Lewis on why we need to read old books
SCIENCE!! (Un-ironically this time!) And if you think this is cool: read Leviathan and the Air Pump, by Shapin & Schaffer, and have your mind blown.
Never gets old. If you release feathers and a bowling ball outdoors, you will notice that the feathers float and take longer to fall. This happens because they hit the air head-on, which creates greater resistance because of the large area that the feathers cover. 1/
SCIENCE!!
How to increase your survival chances when falling from a skyscraper
Nice thread and I'm sure Jason't right and that you ought to read him and Nietzsche. And another way to go about this is to READ R.G. COLLINGWOOD! Perhaps not enough historians read him? If yes, there's no excuse: if The Idea of History is too long, read his autobiography!
Academic historians have been hindered from being better social critics in the last century by the triumph of a philosophical empiricism they wrongly presume is "neutral" & "scientific." Nietzsche saw that this empiricism reduces history to antiquarian, atomized bygone facts 🧵
YES! Bring back seriatim judgments!
Hot take perhaps, but 4 relatively short concurring judgments providing cogent if contradictory reasons is far superior to a single behemoth judgment that feigns unanimity while providing absolutely no legal guidance whatsoever.
'The Sarco pod is merely the latest consumer refinement on the principle of making death look hygge.' But euthanasia has long been glamourised, writes @yuanyi_z 👇 buff.ly/3XZ8GLp
I really enjoyed the clear and simple bulleted list of pros and cons of the suicide pod. It’s exquisitely ghoulish in its innocence.
Non-Medical Hastened Death: Sarco & The Last Resort,: A few days ago, I attended a webinar from The Last Resort. This Swiss organization will be offering the Sarco as a non-medical means to hasten death. Here is my summary. How Sarco works * Room… dlvr.it/TDJX8J
“I think the humanities are so important because the humanities are really the superhumanities. I think there is something cosmic or superhuman smoldering in the human, something that seems ever ready to burst into flames, and sometimes does. A few fortunate souls intuit this…
The times (in behavioural sciences) they are a-changin'. Recent contributions in cognitive science and economics show a renewed interest in going beyond 'biases' and viewing the sometimes puzzling features of human cognition as solutions to the complex problems we face.
Nice! Though instead of possessing by “our ideas” I would opt for possessing by “our words.” This points to the philosophically interesting task of rhetorical/literary criticism.
Perception of the beautiful is accompanied by that curious feeling of intellectual fullness through which we seem to be swollen with a superior knowledge of the object contemplated, and which nevertheless leaves us powerless…. to possess it by our ideas. —Jacques Maritain
Reading a book with charts is already top-tier technocrat. Most can’t be bothered to read more than an article — and “read” here means they skim the text and just imprint the abstract and charts (IF we’re talking about a scientific publication and not just a McKinsey blog).

Are academics the biggest suckers on the planet? It is entirely within our power to put a stop to this predatory industry, yet we simply don't because "prestige".
Academic publisher Elsevier's profit margin compared to Apple, Google, and Microsoft Apple: 28% Google: 25% Microsoft: 34% Elsevier: 37% with a revenue of $3.9 billion. Elsevier's payment to academic authors and reviewers: $0
Precisely me as the semester will begin after my paternity leave. The upside is that work is likely to be more restful than caring for my newborn!
The real techno Viking video. That video is crap. You need the intro otherwise it's just some dude being handed a water.
