There's definitely some weird symbiosis between @theWesleyJSmith and @zoltan_istvan. Maybe they'll eventually find themselves triggering each other ad infinitum in the same circle of Dante's Inferno. Now that's what I call #immortality! 😜 https://t.co/Jj4mqgL6lY

Ernest #Gellner's great book on world history, 'Plough, Sword and Book', casts the human condition as a conflict between the #BluePill and #RedPill people. Gellner is on the side of the latter, aka #Modernity.

"Why is there something rather than nothing?" becomes a deep metaphysical question once you realize that nothing might be better.

The worst sin of jobbing academic editors is to aspire to play Ezra Pound to TS Eliot in the Wasteland. You'll just spend a lot of time that will gain you no favors.

@SlobodanIsFree This videoclip is really interesting. It suggests that #PromptEngineering is reinventing #Plato's #Meno.
