"A homeless man died of hunger but there was food at his funeral." ~ Oscar Wilde

We do not like to think of anyone lazily enjoying life, however refined may be the quality of his enjoyment. We feel that everybody ought to be doing something to help on the great cause (whatever it may be), the more so as so many bad men are working against it and ought to be stopped.

“Gradually it has become clear to me what every great philosophy so far has been - namely, the personal confession of its author and a kind of involuntary and unconscious memoir.” (Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Part 1, §6).

Space, time, and causality are not properties of things-in-themselves, but conditions through which human experience is possible. This position, known as transcendental idealism, sought to preserve objective knowledge while acknowledging the limits of human understanding.

The mathematician Alexander Grothendieck is revered in the world of math; outside of it, he’s known for his unusual life, if he’s known at all. But what were his actual mathematical contributions? www.quantamagazine.org/how-alexande...

Topology is the bedrock of modern math. But it doesn’t gel with algebra. A pair of mathematicians have proposed a new framework that eases topology’s limitations. Their work rewrites our understanding of how numbers behave. www.quantamagazine.org/two-research...

What if a machine could read your dreams for you, decode the hypnotic visions of a psychedelic trip, or even give shape to the thoughts of a patient locked in a coma or on their deathbed?

If you can read a book every two days (and write about it), you might have a job opportunity.

In a new book ‘Prophecy,’ a philosopher explores how probabilistic thinking —the basic tool of artificial intelligence — has become a mechanism for exercising power

This absorbing Essay by Steve Nadis explores Sergiu Klainerman landmark proofs about black holes, and his career-long fascination with a deep, unresolved mystery: Why does mathematics keep rearing its head, time and again, in the unlikeliest of places?

We need a new imagination for the whole Earth, linking the power of the deep planet with the vitality of the surface. An Essay by @jamesdinneen.bsky.social

Keeping a “Wonder Journal” Fantastic idea! 💡 The opposite of wonder is not boredom. It’s cynicism. And cynicism is not intellectual sophistication—it’s spiritual fatigue. It’s the feeling of being certain, so certain that nothing can surprise you anymore.

“Every tree is a jazz player… although where a long Coltrane piece might last a quarter of an hour, a tree’s performance may go on for half a millennium or more.” Trees, in their living, growing, and dying, abide by certain rules.

There is an irreducibly anthropocentric surd in knowledge.

All the philosophy students who pursued their passion made a wise decision. Learning how to think is a always a good investment. Psychology grads are not doing too badly on the job market either.

"Over my writing desk, I keep a post-it that reads: 'It is urgent to live enchanted.' It reminds me to focus on the wondrous." ~ Susan Cain

The news covers the destruction. Nobody covers the building. Right now someone is saving seeds, organizing a food bank, printing a reef, restoring soil, defending a river. Millions of quiet acts that never become a headline. The planet is regenerating. It does it below the threshold of attention.

"Lock yourself in a room and study until you collapse; true brilliance comes from obsession." ~ Isaac Newton

News: Research on AI governance & digital sovereignty by @alturobov.bsky.social has been cited in a House of Commons Library briefing. He argues that if governments can’t inspect AI, challenge its rules, or force interoperability, they become dependent on whoever controls it. 👉 bit.ly/4dtkhJf

Pope:”Reading nourishes the mind, helps cultivate a conscious and well-formed critical sense, guards against fundamentalisms and ideological shortcuts.” Reading is “an antidote to closed-mindedness which manifests in rigid attitudes and reductive views of reality.” www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

My favorite part of Da Vinci's Demons is when Leo makes a scuba apparatus and sneaks his way in the Papal Estates. He encounters the Pope, and makes his way to the Vatican Secret Archives. So much knowledge could quench his thirst. But Leo refuses to ally himself with the Pope. Temptation...

In a world that encourages endless consumption, the ancient Greek approach offers an alternative model. Ultimately, it suggests that the art of living well lies in letting go of what is superfluous and in cultivating a life measured by reflection and sufficiency.

A philosophy that takes seriously its belief in limits, as pessimism does, writes no Bibles. And yet the longing persists for many of us: how does one commit to a future that can’t be imagined?

Reality, he insists, is just one solid block of unchanging, eternal things. It does sound completely deranged, doesn’t it? However, this wasn’t just an inane idea. Parmenides dropped a philosophical bomb that sent ripples through Western thought...
