Another day another short tale of the Sanguinary Utnapishtim! This is basically continuing the theme that all paradoxes in the 40k verse are ultimately due to Tzeentch. This to me is canon. Anyway, you can read it and others here: sherdenpact.neocities.org/ShortsOpaque

Very happy to be among the authors of this paper on a new methodology for ascertaining scientific opinion and extent of expert agreement. (And an Erdös number of 4 is a nice bonus.) journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

This week's Philosophy Questions: 1. Can societies filled with individualists ever work? 2. Is the herd mentality a natural phenomenon that holds our societies together? 3. Are groups merely placid & mediocre, or also highly dangerous? 4. Can we ever grow as a group, or only as an individual?

Evelyn Fox Keller has died. It is a great loss. “To know the history of science is to recognize the mortality of any claim to universal truth.” https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03819-4 #Histsci #philsci #complexity #hpbio 🧪 #femsky

Last year I bit the bullet & invested in a Steelcase Leap V2 for my home office. Spending that much money on a single chair seemed a little obscene but I can now report that it is worth every penny! I can work at my desk for hours without back or shoulder pain. Is this what getting old is like?
