After the pandemic is over....and has faded into a faint memory....and school kids learn about it in history class and ask their parents what it was like....I will make it a point every now and then to say in an email....."Hope you're doing well in these unprecedented times."

Enjoyed speaking to Renegade Marketers Unite about the ABM journey which is so critical for B2B marketers to get right. lnkd.in/ejmsSBK8

The #SVB failure exposes thousands of software companies to missed payroll payments on 3/15. These companies had the money to make payroll on Friday, but if they didn't get those funds out of SVB they are now frozen while the FDIC sorts out what to do. Th…lnkd.in/e86_TK9N

To get a good sense of ChatGPT's strengths and weaknesses, ask it to prove that there's no greatest prime number. It doesn't scour the internet for a proof to regurgitate (@david_colquhoun), which I assume wouldn’t be that hard for a machine to do. Instead it . . . 1/4

Does the hard problem of consciousness simply dissolve when you start to think about it as a relativistic phenomenon? To me, it's a description not an explanation. neurosciencenews.com/physics-consci…

<philosopher working in a marketing department>: we need to focus on our company's logos

The autocrats are winning not because the story they are telling is true, but because they are telling a story and we are not. Liberalism is neither self-evident nor self-executing; it needs a good story to move people to fight for it. davidestorey.com/2022/05/18/dao…

A fun fact worth repeating. Wittgenstein invented the emoji.

So last month I accidentally threw a credit card out at the movie theater with my snack tray, and couldn't remember which things I was using it to autopay but I was like "well they'll email me right"

Suppose a time traveler informs you that in 200 years, States are no longer the default entity in international relations. What do you think replaced them?

I honestly don't understand how anyone can NOT study philosophy. Imagine going through life without being deeply uncertain whether or not chairs exist? Is such a life even worth living?

A gentle reminder to stop misusing "begs the question." I will leave this here for anyone who needs it. afterdeadline.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/25/beg…

@stephen_richer Why did you pick an a priori truth (2+2=x) as the thing to demonstrate falsifiability? #Philosophy Can't disagree with you about the voting tho ;)

Wow. This is unhinged. I’m literally looking at our voter registration database on my other screen. Right now. We can’t indulge these insane lies any longer. As a party. As a state. As a country. This is as readily falsifiable as 2+2=5. If we don’t call this out...

@philosophybites @philosophybites do you think you can salvage the statement by trading on a difference in the meaning of 'understanding' as opposed to 'knowing'? Perhaps God can be omniscient without needing understanding? If you construe understanding as a human construct of the intellect.

Maybe Hamlet would agree, but sometimes knowing a great deal makes it much easier to make a decision (eg whether to take homeopathy seriously...the more you know about the science the less difficult it is to decide it’s a bad thing).

There are two wolves inside of you. One of them thinks Hegel is overrated. One of them thinks Hegel is underrated. You must synthesize these two wolves into a wolf that doesn't care.

@Forbes Hang on- where does PM fit in the hierarchy of those who NEED the vaccine?

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson could be injected live on television in a bid to inspire confidence in the newly approved coronavirus vaccine, his press secretary suggested on Wednesday on.forbes.com/6012HzRiQ

My senior thesis being absolutely vindicated by the Twitter wrath of @existentialcoms

There's something poetic about @TomBrady, the greatest Patriot there ever was, ending his career as a Buccaneer. It just about says what you need to know about #America. Patriots & pirates go hand-in-hand right back to the beginning. #TeaParty #DontTreadOnMe @Patriots @Buccaneers

@DavidEStorey @seanilling Modern media-cycle-crazed jorunalism is about a quarter inch deep. A provocative title evokes the whole story and makes it easy to pick a side of the debate, so why even bother to think critically about what the author's intent was?

@seanilling Yes! Ironically Fukuyama’s text is a great predictor for the rise of Trump. Everyone ignores the Nietzschean subtitle, which is the warning—that the end of history sows nihilism that threatens the resurgence of the desire for “greatness”

The case that Fukuyama's book is the least understood and most referenced in modern history gets stronger every day
