We're in the midst of assembling our third cohort. 25 candidates will be introduced to the novel art of practicing technology as an experimental philosophy in a ten-month program that's free to attend and comes with stipend-based support of up to $50,000. https://t.co/UnGjGrgI15

A call for those struck by the experience that the philosophical questions their work generates cannot be addressed in terms of their current discipline. People who feel constrained by the limits of what is and who wish to invent new realities. Apply now https://t.co/65qwyImrUF

Is reality made up of discrete building blocks? Can an individual be inseparable from the relations it has? At ToftH School we understand microbiome research as an experimental philosophy from which we can learn how to think and how to live after individualism.

[Liping Zhao @Gutzhao]

Microbiome science is a relationship science. Its not just abundance. Its not just membership. Its relationships that hold the system together.

If we build without first doing research into the newness that defines our time, we are likely to build more of the same: the old. Come to ToftH School and learn how to combine philosophical research (concept work) and building. https://t.co/j0k9l6EbX2 #jointofth

The emphasis here is on the "pre-”. They come before experience; they structure experience. Conceptual presuppositions are invisible and mostly unrecognized.

@DrewEndy teaches that the currently existing life forms are not even the snowflake on the iceberg of possible life forms: Synthetic biology is the art of producing things that could exist in nature but currently don’t: What is natural & what is artificial?https://t.co/aUv8pFjssk
