How many philosophers does it take to change a light bulb?
None – its a pseudo-problem… light bulbs give off light (hence the name). If the bulb was broken and wasn't giving off light, it wouldn't be a 'light bulb' now would it? And if it wasn't broken, then why does it need changing?

Breaking news:
Teacher Arrested At Pearson Airport

A high school teacher was arrested today at Toronto's Pearson Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator.

At a press conference, Premier Mark Carney said he believes
the man is a member of the notorious extremist Al-Gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the OPP with carrying weapons of math instruction.

‘Al-Gebra is a problem for us', the Premier said. 'They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.'

‘They use secret code names like "X" and "Y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns” but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.”

When asked to comment on the arrest, Prime Minister Carney said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."

Fellow Liberal colleagues told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by any Prime Minister.

O Canada! 😂

Writing is thinking, exhibit one million. I tell students: you don’t have ideas you “just need to put into words.” You have vague subterranean inklings, and putting them into words is how you turn them into ideas. If you let AI do it, your own thoughts remain a squishy paste.

"The biological world, examined honestly, presents three convergent lines of evidence — the informational architecture of the cell, the pattern of the fossil record, and the reality of gratuitous beauty — each of which points beyond blind material processes." ~@WalterMyersIII

Forget "politics." Cultivating literacy --independent literacy, the ability to read and think and write and do it all in your own head and with your own two hands, so to speak -- is the great radical act now.

Be a radical.

You are looking at one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a humancell (eukaryotic cell) ever made.

Every molecule. Every structure. Mapped in extreme precision.

This isn't just a pretty picture. It's a microscopic universe finally brought into focus.

Well, today my neighbors spoke to me.

So I did what I had to do.

I strapped a monitor on my ankle, went outside with my shirt on inside out, and argued with a pine tree.

That should hold them off for a while.
