Scientists who comprehend the pleasures of discovery—the human part of science—are the bringers of progress, as Nobel biologist P.B. Medawar showed so entertainingly and well, back in 1969 Had a lot of fun revisiting this favorite writer for @flaminghydra.com flaminghydra.com/issue-661/

“Critical reasoning, considered alone, is barren.” One might go farther still and say that critical reasoning considered alone is not in fact reasoning at all, but a mere simulacrum of reasoning—the thinking a machine would do—empty, directionless, asphyxiatingly meaningless calculation.

Medawar’s imagination reaches beyond science with an easy, graceful consideration of Aristotle’s “poetic truth,” which “enriches or replaces scientific truth by truth of a higher kind, that which represents the testimony of a deeper and more privileged insight—a truth so lofty that, if nature does not conform to it, why then, so much the worse for nature.”

Sir Peter Medawar in 1969, immaculate in a soft sack suit, he is elegantly greying, with very dark intense eyes, he is wearing a white shirt, slim tie, and a lovely watch

A very uncomfortably high number of awful things can be at least partially explained by the fact that almost every single person with immense capital or political power in this country seemingly uses AI on a daily basis for their decision making

I’m just relieved it’s the usual bullshit. No nuking Iran or declaring martial law. So far.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.

My mom loved baseball. Once she gave me a t-shirt that said, “Jesus hates the Yankees.” It had a cartoon Jesus in a baseball mitt-shaped cloud. He was flipping off the Yankees. I got into shouting matches with two grown men at Florida gas pumps because of that shirt. RIP, Mom! ⚾️

BBQ (smoked brisket, sauce) is close to a religion in Texas. In that it is contentious, very profitable & marked by bloody schisms. Edgar Black started selling BBQ from his butcher shop in Lockhart, TX around 1934. It quickly rose to fame, drawing visitors to the small town in Central Texas.

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

While the attack was a disaster, in time, the far greater & more impactful disaster was the simple fact that *Republicans were in charge when it happened*, which took a national tragedy & spun it into decades of national lawlessness, violence, shame, & alienation of allies.
