"The secret of happiness is: Find something more important than you are and dedicate your life to it." Daniel Dennett (March 28, 1942 - April 19, 2024)
I was going through hell at the time and I vividly remember how reading this quote by Marx about 7 years ago flipped a switch: "We have to replace the domination of circumstances and chance over individuals by the domination of individuals over chance and circumstance".

If the ideal parenting and teaching philosophy could be captured in a few sentences, this is it. It's the difference between crippling and liberating a child, helping them realise that there's so much of life to be experienced and it can only be through experimentation. Veering…
A pessimistic civilization prides itself on its children’s conformity to the proper patterns of behaviour, and bemoans every real or imagined novelty. @DavidDeutschOxf

Montessori describing a teacher, who saw a small boy who was moving a chair to be able to see into a tall basin, and picked him up and held him instead:
Don’t mistake your emotions as the reality out there. When you say “there’s no meaning of life”, you are actually making a statement about yourself, not about the world.

Karl Popper said we have a duty to be optimistic. This is an epistemological claim as much as a moral one. Pessimism is a false view of what people are—it supposes we’re impotent. In fact, we can’t help but create. Our creative nature remains even when blocked or thwarted.

A couple of days ago, Skallas wrote that true @nntaleb fans don’t quote his ideas all the time, but instead apply them to everyday life. A childish discussion, but I felt the need to say something about it because the “Taleb obsession” theme recurs often. This is my story. 👇
NEW: America is a rich country. Britain is a poor country with one wealthy region. People love to compare the UK to Mississippi, but it’s far more informative to look at UK subnationally, too. London ranks fairly well, the rest of the country does not 👉 ft.com/content/e5c741…

It’s difficult to describe how insane a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains is. Not a one-time 25% hit. It’s compounding, annually taking 25% of every dollar of potential increase before it can grow. Not an exaggeration to say it could single-handedly crush the economy.

I once again beg everyone to consider that the opportunity costs of education aren’t null, and the alternative to bad education isn’t no education but better education.
Dan Dennett was a great philosopher, skilled with words, images, thought experiments & intuition pumps. But unlike many clever philosophers (to borrow from PB Medawar) he had something important to be clever ABOUT, namely science. Much more yet, he was a dear friend. So very sad.
We have lost a monumental figure in philosophy. Daniel Dennett, one of the four horsemen, challenged and expanded our understanding of consciousness and free will. His fearless intellect and relentless curiosity will always be cherished.
Daniel Dennett was my intellectual idol and my friend for 15 years. He was one of the kindest, most generous, most beautiful people I've known. I'm too devastated to write anything else right now.
Philosopher Daniel Dennett has died. dailynous.com/2024/04/19/dan…
