Ecclesiastes!

If you are convinced by the preacher, then you are in a place to honestly hear the messages from the rest of the Bible.

What book of the Bible would you recommend an unbeliever read first?

Blowing up the moon seems like it would end human existence (see “Seveneves” by Neil Stephenson), but I guess you would thereby solve any problems predicated on human existence.

I’m pretty convinced that signing petitions are “a sort of gaming… with a slight moral tinge” (Thoreau, Civil Disobedience). Though, I’m not sure how else to respond to the game that is being played with Dr. Schulz’s academic career. (@CUWisconsin) https://t.co/F0m0IYnZaT

“For I am […] Encyclopedia of Many Colours!”
I looked then and saw that his robes, which has seemed [brown], were not so, but were woven of all colours, and if he moved they shimmered and changed hue so that the eye was bewildered.

I like to think this passage is Tolkien’s hat-tip to all of the talking animals in his buddy Jack’s stories.

@stevenhayes1997 Oh man! That’s rough. I’ll trust you on this since I only had a single semester of German.😂

English sacrifices the flexibility of sentence structure in order to have such low amounts of inflection. Weird hubris, but okay!🤓

The gap between “Bambi is not real life” ergo “don’t save this deer” is bigger than the gap between Bambi and real life—but it looks like we may not be ready for the conversation yet.

I seem to recall that Thrasymachus made a similar proposal that Socrates took apart pretty quickly on the basis that being the strongest leader is not a necessary condition for serving justice.

Finally, a good form of government.

@_matthewpearson One of the best Christmas gifts I got my wife while we were dating was a couple’s photo session from a professional photographer. You can visit a scenic location, spend time together, and you’ll have some keepsake photos that will probably mean a lot to your gf.
