We're moving to the indie side in Ten Thousand this week, with Chris Huisjen (who writes as Aest Belequa online). We talk about serialized fiction, the writer's toolkit, and how lowering the stakes makes for better learning opportunities. Give it a listen! tenthousand.fm/episode/fict...

This week's interview is with Louise Antony, professor emerita at UMass Amherst, and a foundational figure in philosophy of mind, feminist philosophy, and other fields. Find out what "the practice is the doing" means in philosophy! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...
A visualization of the following quote from Louise Antony:

"I mean, the practice is the doing. It's not like I'm going to work on philosophy of mind for a while so that I'm better at philosophy of language. You don't do that. You sometimes realize that there are deficits and maybe there are some tricky argument patterns that you need to rehearse a little bit so you remember them, or you have to think hard about exactly how that argument worked, but that's all part of the actual doing of philosophy, too."
