Had we not the knowledge of the life to come, I believe there would be few persons who, being at the point of death, were not content to take up life again, on condition of passing through the same amount of good and evil, provided always that it were not the same kind. ~Leibniz
There is never any indifference of equipoise, that is, where all is completely even on both sides, without any inclination towards either. Innumerable great and small movements, internal and external, co-operate with us, for the most part unperceived by us. ~Leibniz
Truth is foreseen because it is determinate, because it is true; but it is not true because it is foreseen: and therein the knowledge of the future has nothing that is not also in the knowledge of the past or of the present. ~Leibniz
I call 'World' the whole succession & the whole agglomeration of all existent things, lest it be said that several worlds could have existed in different times & different places. For they must needs be reckoned all together as one world or, if you will, as one Universe. ~Leibniz
centrists: you can protest as long as it doesn’t inconvenience anybody students: *set up protests that don’t inconvenience anybody* centrists: we’re calling the cops
Why DID Cudworth think Descartes's doctrine of the creation of the eternal truths smelled like atheism? blog.kennypearce.net/archives/philo…
2 Tim 3:16. “All scripture is inspired….” Which documents did the author have in mind? Can we know?
In many years time when you look back on your behaviour, a lot of you are gonna feel very proud that you identified the real problem with the current moment (students taking up too much space on campus lawns) and spent your time moralising about that. Good job.
Me: “I think it’s bad that some people in this country are made to live without shelter.” Twitter reply: “Ok, but how do you respond to the fact that libertarianism is true?”
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

My biggest beef with IQ is how much of human cognitive ability it almost completely fails to capture: political cunning, memorization, artistic skill, musical ability and even creative genius. You could literally be world class at any these and still have a pretty average IQ.
@JoshuaLWatson I thought it was funny 🤣😂 and kamala doesn't seem to react to it very well imo
Keynes famously called for a 15-hour work week. Interestingly, this was the length of the average work week for millennia prior to the industrial revolution. So Keynes’s proposal might be seen as deeply conservative…
Campus police just sent a notice that "It appears as though people are cutting the locks and taking the scooters at free will." How does it appear when people take scooters "at free will"? Would it appear different if they took them unfreely?
@JoshuaLWatson This is the first time I’ve seen a clip of Kamala Harris where she isn’t the cringiest one in the clip.
