Yet again I forgot that the main purpose of work in a democratic society is making people feel useful, not simply doing a task well #work #philosophy

Once upon a time I would have blithely called these Jelly Ear mushrooms, but after a few recent mistakes, I'm more cautious #mushroom #fungi #jelly #harlem #newyork

Can "we" show some type of kindness to our OWN anxiety and depression without letting them run wild? #mind #anxiety #depression #philosophy #psychology

Happy 300th day since the first synthesis of a manifold into the human known as Immanuel Kant! (Or as non-Kantians might put it: Happy birthday, Immanuel Kant!) #birthday #kant #philosophy

Objects in motion will stay in motion unless a force (like friction) acts upon them. This brilliant idea from Galileo seems to eliminate the need for an unmoved mover. Thanks to Sean Carroll for the reminder! #physics #god #universe #galileo #bigbang

Our immune systems attack cancer cells with almost identical DNA to our other eukaryotic cells, but not free-floating mitochondria or many benevolent gut bacteria, despite their different DNA. This seems to say something about the "self" but I'm still not sure what #cancer

People on the political left often seem okay calling themselves "left-wing", but I don't hear people on the right using "right-wing" much. Does it sound too dark for them? They seem to prefer softer words like "conservative" or "patriot" #psychology

I love the new action-comedy movie "Hit Man" and not just because the main character is a philosophy professor. But that didn't hurt 😃 #philosophy #professor #hitmanmovie #hitman #movie #glenpowell
