Happy Course Launch Day (Version 2)! Maybe this time I'll find my sidekick...

[Veritas Man @RealVeritasMan]

@AaronDErrico Great term, Aaron! Thanks for joining us- loved your questions!

[Veritas Man @RealVeritasMan]

[on diverse superheroes and the "Panther Effect"] "I feel we're at a tipping point! Superheroes are emerging as a global narrative. That's what is great about the superhero world. It's all accommodating; there are no losses in expanding it." -@CJRobichaud

[Veritas Man @RealVeritasMan]

an awesome question from Aaron: "Do you think that the positive "Panther Effect" will lead to new diverse heroes, sought and championed in popular culture for the long term, now that #BlackPanther is the new normal?"

[Veritas Man @RealVeritasMan]

"...[there's a] willingness to tackle deep and interesting issues in social philosophy and critical race theory, and the question of #identity... #BlackPanther didn’t shy away from these things!" -@CJRobichaud

[Veritas Man @RealVeritasMan]

great question from Mike- "What are your thoughts on #Killmonger 's philosophy, and his quote “Bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from the ships, because they knew death was better than bondage.” ?

"What can we be blamed for?" The only thing I can be blamed for is being awesome. Superman, on the other hand...Let's just say we had a long chat about asking before raiding my closet. #whoworeitbetter #edXPhil1_1

As a fan of flying, I look up to heroes like Bessie Coleman #SmithsonianXPhilosphy #edXPhil1_1 https://t.co/uMVnvEo2BI

[Smithsonian @smithsonian]

Bessie Coleman wanted to be a pilot, but couldn't get flight training in the U.S. because of her race and gender.

She went to France and in 1921 became the first African American licensed pilot. #BHM https://t.co/iNzVdGQbb5

Thinking about the ethics of cloning this morning. Who decides what or who to clone? Should I be cloned? Can this handsomeness even be cloned? #edXPhil1_1
