Fuck this "Canada as 51st state" framing. Why are we allowing the narrative to be set in this way? The framing should be "America starting an illegal war with Canada" because THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

@jeffsebo.bsky.social @birchlse.bsky.social and I put a lot of philosophy into our new Science Perspective on animal consciousness. Mill's analogical argument + inference to the best explanation + careful experiments = justification for consciousness in many animals. Where might it end?

Best visualization of visual snow (which I've had my entire life) I've seen. Also why I'm night-blind (it's magnitudes worse in the dark) and why my doctor says I shouldn't drive! I've seen many optometrists, neurologists, etc. about this and they all have no clue what's going on.

Finally, getting around to this wonderful book. Only a couple chapters in but his historical/contextualist approach is great - stems from Reinhart Kosselleck rather than folks like Skinner or Henrich. The idea that the Idealists were writing during a Sattelzeit shapes much of his interpretation.

If you compare the history of gaming to the history of movies, 1996-2004 was the rough equivalent of 1930-1980. A tiny golden age in between "still working out the medium" and "massive franchises dominate everything".

Came across this fascinating article by Camus in the Atlantic (June 1953). His concern: to complain that everyone keeps characterizing him as an absurdist, rather than just considering/criticizing a view he has come across.

Trudeau: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us. I don’t think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, "Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada."
