Editing is unquestionably its own art. It takes finesse and a certain empathy, to think about what the audience will experience. That, and a healthy dose of humility, especially if you're doing it yourself. It's the flip side of writing, and so crucial to the process. But, it's hard! #writing #EON

This article synopsizes some fascinating work out of the U. Of Leiden. Information could be a temporal-cellular component of all reality, responsible for the arrow of time, dark matter and energy, and even gravity itself. Information theory is getting deep! #space #time #physics #weird #universe

Two of the greatest boxing photos of all time both involve late ringside photographer and legend Herb Scharfman (1911 - 1998). First is Scharfman's epic shot of the real Rocky punching Jersey Joe. In the other more famous snap of Ali standing over Liston, he's visible between Ali's legs. 🥊 #iconic

To me, the thing that's so silly about emergent physicalism is that it assumes more than panpsychism about the nature of reality. Yes, birds and people have different brains. But are trees really unconscious? Maybe if you watched an Aspen grove for a couple hundred years, you'd get a different idea.

A fascinating theory here about the nature of the observer in a topologically closed universe. Without such an observer, such a universe, paradoxically, can't even exist. There seems a requirement for information to be present on an observable boundary for the concept of information to have meaning.

They're finally snuffing out the 'standard candle.' It's an assumption in cosmology that all Type 1A supernovas are exactly the same. Without it, the age, distance and expansion rate of the observable universe will need to be recalibrated, and some of the Hubble tension should disappear. #astronomy

Working with kids on creative writing recently has reminded me: storytelling, at its heart, is a human to human sharing of language and meaning and experience. No kind of imitative machine, AI or other, will ever be able to do that. It's a fundamentally cognitive act; it can't be faked. #Writing

Autumn is the spirit season. Someone once said it's when the veil between one world and another thins. A dying time, perhaps, but a sacred transition: when color and sunsets umber and burn, the light of heaven begins to stretch and days fade. After the last leaf is down, nature whispers "eternity."

Summer, as a season, is actually my jam. The whole world is swarming, green and buzzing and vibrant. It's hot, for sure, but that heat draws up the life from the ground: in water clouds, heat shimmer, vim and passion and light. Now is the time when everything's alive... Summer is never boring.
