@BorisDralyuk Efrain was on my dissertation committee and was an unparalleled interlocutor. What a loss.

@NecktieSalvage Anciently, Laocoön, Aeneas, Achilles, Ajax, Menelaus all tower over others - however, notably, Odysseus is not the tallest, but broad-shouldered.

The world's witnessing the beginning of an era of individualized medicines, but we need a system that can keep up. A new model of “genetic surgery” or “interventional genetics” — a marriage of drug development + highly individualized surgical intervention - could be the solution.

Thanks, @SpaceX, for giving my sons the core boyhood memory of watching rockets launch from the tub.

@jordanbpeterson Thank you for this conversation, Dr. Peterson. We were reeling when we sat down with you, and you gave us hope and courage to begin this journey with our boy.

Immediately after our son’s diagnosis with a neurodegenerative disease, we had the opportunity to talk through it with @jordanbpeterson. We were reeling when this was filmed, and he gave us the footholds that have helped us begin this journey.

I sat down with a couple whose young son received a devastating diagnosis. What followed was a powerful conversation about resilience, responsibility, and the mindset required to lead your family through adversity. Watch my new series, Parenting, all episodes available now on @dailywireplus

Took myself for happy hour for the first time in five years. Brought these along.

@SpencerKlavan Reminds me of Zossima’s anecdote about the doctor in Brothers Karamazov: “The more I love humanity in general the less I love man in particular.”

It’s easy to love in general. It’s hard to love in particular.

Two Nine Lessons & Carols today: morning in our suburban parish, with strong choral tradition; evening in friend's country parish, with hearty congregational carols. Both churches full. Both services with traditional bidding & readings. Both joyfully proclaiming the Incarnation.

The first sentence is wonderful. And a useful extension of Chesterton's Fence (paraphrased: before you tear down a fence, find out why it was put there in the first place).
