There is so much wrong with this Johns Hopkins University DEI statement. It is also a privilege to be: 1. born human vs. cattle (except in India) 2. born in the West vs. Somalia 3. born at all vs. the trillions of other sperm-egg options 4. The vast majority of people on this…
Vivek is mostly making sense—except in #3: that's clearly catering only to the climate-change deniers, i.e., fact deniers.

My new piece for @Quillette. An homage to the amazing writing and thinking of Charles Darwin, based on his Voyage of the Beagle. quillette.com/2023/09/18/cha…
"The heroic and beautiful tale of his travels as a young man, before his fame was secured, is mature, painstaking, and lyrical, all at the same time." @LKrauss1 quillette.com/2023/09/18/cha…

Classic media misdirection: @neiltyson is talking about eyewitness testimony about UAPs, a very low level of evidence indeed. Avi is talking about the Galileo Project & his exhibition to the South Pacific to find remnants of a meteor. Completely different topics!

Parts of the Bible have great poetic beauty. But that has no bearing on whether what it says is true. The full episode is here: youtube.com/watch?v=dcellK… #darwinism #science #religion #thepoetryofreality
Bill Barr on Trump: “What other great leader has done this? Telling the party, ‘If it’s not me, I’m going to ruin your election chances by telling my base to sit home. And I’ll sabotage whoever you nominate other than me.’ It shows what he’s all about. He’s all about himself.”
On this, the 214th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, February 12, 1809, a few thoughts on the myth he discovered evolution in the Galapagos, why the theory explains, how & why he lost his religion, and why Darwin still matters. michaelshermer.substack.com/p/darwin-matte…

Cute cat videos go viral instantly. Nearly seven billion smart phones in the world. Imagine video of an extraterrestrial ship landing, with aliens disembarking. I’m thinking that would go viral too.
I’m thinking that if Space Aliens were actively visiting Earth from across the galaxy, we would not need Congressional Hearings to establish this fact. Just sayin’.

.@jk_rowling's carefully phrased definition of “woman” is correct. The gamete-size definition is soundly based in evolutionary theory and has no exceptions – among humans, mammals, vertebrates, animals generally. And she’s right about beetroot. x.com/jk_rowling/sta…

This supports my hypothesis that most of these students are clueless why they're protesting, beyond simpleton sloganeering "Palestinians Good, Israelis Bad." I'm leaning toward "Useful Idiots" over "Captured Ideologues"

It's not lost on me that one of my intellectual heroes @danieldennett (March 28, 1942 - April 19, 2024) passed on the same day as one of his, Charles Darwin (Feb 12, 1809 - April 19, 1882). Thankful to have known our modern day #Darwin. "There is grandeur in this view of life...…
Having the support of the Kennedy family in this election means the world to me. Together, we will defeat Donald Trump.
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.
RIP Daniel Dennett, March 28, 1942 – April 19, 2024 Great mind. Big loss. Sad day. Fond memories of our trip to the Galapagos, June, 2005
Surprised and saddened to hear that @danieldennett (1942-2024) passed away today. I didn't agree with him about free will and some other things, but it was a privilege to know him, learn from him, and spend some special times together.
