Democracy thrives only when we value our humanity. Expecting a world indifferent to what it means to be human to act democratically is absurd. Before tackling anti-democratic attitudes, we should confront our deep disinterest in our humanity. #Democracy #liberalism #humanism

Unlike individuals, collectives lack a sense of error but possess a sense of the sacred. The masses use narratives to navigate failures. For the masses to learn from errors, they must be shown how correcting those errors restores them to primordial stability. #Sacred #theodicy

No matter how complex people are and how intricate societies become, the most contagious illusions of humanity have always been and remain strikingly simple. This is because they originate from and speak to the deepest aspects of human nature. #PoliticsToday

The highest priced skill a human can have is detecting circularity. My impression is that AI is structually incapable of it. #TheLydianStone

Fascinating presentation on the trouble of defining death by Charlotte Gray at #CDASconf2025 You’re suddenly reminded what always intrigued you and made you stick with death studies for decades.
