Okay, here are some first reflections on Watson.
Watson's life is a tragedy, really of Shakespearean proportions. He did not, as most bios will tell you, do one great thing when he was young and then collect laurels for it for the next 60 years. His career arc was unlike any in science.

“Contrary to common sentiment, the data also shows that businesses benefit from cycling infrastructure. If well-designed, a proper cycling network drives far more people to businesses than cars do.”

Bike-lanes mean business.

Listen in to Tim Ingold "reflect on how we should live together in a world full of possibility, and a world we love enough to take responsibility for together."
How shall we live? Not in blocks but as lines woven together according to Tim Ingold, emeritus professor of University of Aberdeen & a leading thinker in #anthropology and #philosophy. We wonder if people are their paths & if life is less of a ladder & more like mycelium. #ingold #loveandphilosophy
