  • Enjoy! Sounds like you have your shit together.

    The five steps to a satisfying sex life:

    • Know what you want

    • Accept what you want

    • Learn how to communicate what you want

    • Actually communicate what you want

    • Don’t be too quick to decide who can and can’t give you what you want

    Every one of these is way harder to do than say though.


  • I’ve both held and been on the leash at clubs.

    “Can I introduce my pet to you? She really likes ear scratches.”

    People are WAY nicer to each other’s pets than to other humans. It’s nice to get that.

    Out in the street, yeah more people aren’t going to get it, but then again, fuck the haters.

    Maybe they lived in the place before the landlords turned the economy over to tourists.

    If I lived in Barcelona and got kicked out of my apartment so it could be a peak-season AirBnB and stay 75% vacant the rest of the year I’d be pissed off too.

    Popper is considered an important historical contributor by the field, in the same way that Jacob Lister might be in surgery. Groundbreaking but their methods have been replaced.

    Jeffrey Kaplan is the best current philosophy lecturer on YouTube imo. He focuses more on theories of consciousness but covers epistemology too. Bryan Magee did a fantastic interview series called The Great Philosophers that’s on YouTube.

    I would actually start with sociology of science if you want the most interesting contemporary stuff. Harry Collins is fantastic, check out his recent book on LIGO. Steven Shapin’s book on the Scientific Revolution is good.

    Bruno Latour is a love-him-or-hate-him figure in science studies (I love him). “Laboratory Life” and “Science in Action” are great reads imo.

    I used my philosophy of science classwork all the time in my engineering career.

    What constitutes proof? What kinds of questions can you answer with data? When do we consider a pattern of behavior to represent the existence of some entity?

    Being able to think about these kinds of questions with clarity is really helpful in diagnosing problems in large systems.
