Just some things I wanted to share, or at least found interesting. Really, it's largely just letting me close a few tabs.

I thought that was pretty cool, as, really I'm used ( Read more... )

I was going to copy out a bunch of excerpts from Richard Feynman's What Do You Care What Other People Think? and Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion, because sometimes these scientists come up with something that's really profound, or at least not at all something you'd expect to come from a scientist rather than a philosopher (never mind the fact ( Read more... )
