science, philosophy, religion. existential angst. running in forests. salted cream cold foam cold brews. views not to be blamed on anyone but me.

@eschwitz @JessieSunPsych @AndrewChignell will be delighted - scientific evidence that I’m not only a moral antirealist but maybe even evil! 😈

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@ADHDForReal I take a really hot shower, even if it’s only 2-3 minutes. It’s like a force reset button for my brain that tricks my body into thinking it’s a brand new day. (And yes, this does mean I end up taking 3-4 mini-showers a day.)

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@masonmennenga I need to know the exact number of days that this has been sitting in your head.

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@bfcarlson Been doing that for a month, but now just obsessing over United Healthcare??

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@masonmennenga With this, you have officially peaked. It’s been a true pleasure watching your X ascent. It can only go down from here, but rest assured, your legacy is secure.

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@PollyMyers18 Yes?!?!

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@bfcarlson And also somehow constantly find yourself singing nonsensical strings of words? Where was this creativity when I was in grad school?

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

The internet is awful, except when you’re having that sort of night when you truly *need* the catharsis of a snarky, well-written think piece about the absolute villain who invented the USB-A. If that’s your night, Google has you covered.

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@bfcarlson Totally. People assume all biases are terrible, but recency bias can have some awesome effects in a person’s life.

@bfcarlson After years of being fascinated by this story, imagine my delight to be living half a mile from Grover’s Mill, in Plainsboro, where much of the 1938 panic took place. Delightful. Also, how was Welles only 23 when he directed the production…

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@ThouArtThat @RepStefanik @IDF Yes! I’ve been baffled that there hasn’t been more commentary on the presidents’ bizarre concession to the “genocide” premise. Literally all they had to say was “obviously a call for mass murder would be against our code of conduct, but these protestors aren’t calling for that.”

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@ThouArtThat @dagelf Ha, this was a very confusing way to wake up on a Sunday…

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

Ah, my annual flight to AAR from New York along with 200 other religion nerds. If we go down, so does theology and religious studies. (I leave it to the reader to decide whether that would be a net gain or loss).

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@bfcarlson So true. My 3 year old is living the Princeton suburbia life, and watching her develop a sustained relationship with her woodsman farmer grandpa in northern Michigan is such a gift (thank you FaceTime and United miles).

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@masonmennenga Having worked at one called “Sacred Grounds,” I can confirm. (Why is it always something like this or just meeting up in the back room of a Panera?)

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

@masonmennenga And I am deeply sorry for what I said during my Ayn Rand phase

Are psychedelic experiences safe? Can they reveal anything to us about reality, God, or ourselves? Check out our latest episode, with the brilliant Dr Sarah Lane Ritchie:https://t.co/0BrRraqHq2……

Still a few days to pitch your research idea if you’re interested in meaning-making among the spiritual but not religious. https://t.co/uHFa1WYsMt

[Sarah Lane Ritchie @slaneritchie]

Truly a fantastic event playing with the form/content distinction: our theme of Growth and Transformation was enacted in real time in an intellectually challenging but intensely human manner.

[Andrew Chignell @AndrewChignell]

Weeklong philosophers' pilgrimage/conference on "Personal Transformation" in Peak District, England. 10-15 mile/day walks, with 10 minute talks (plus 35 mins q&a). Great format and fellow pilgrims, a few blistered soles. @mollycrockett @Helenreflects @AgnesCallard @slaneritchie

@emilykmay The only thing that works for my toddler is ritual. All the ritual. “5 minutes of your show”, followed by like 6 micro-steps: sound machine, bunny, closing the curtains, “sweet dreams, sleep tight”, etc. I’m with you - kid needs her nap, I refuse to allow her to stop just yet. 😂
