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?

And are we doomed to be ruled by the tyranny of the mediocre among us?

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?

“I am not saying that women will do a different kind of science,” Evelyn Fox Keller told The Boston Globe in 1986. “I am saying when there are more women in science, everybody will be free to do a different kind of science.” 🧪
So sad to learn we lost Evelyn Fox Keller, a towering figure in #science, the #historyofscience, #philosophyofscience, #womeninscience and so much more. I had the honor or getting to know her when she was a scientist in residence at the Exploratorium. Sleep in the stars, Evelyn #RIP nyti.ms/3F7zqyN
Evelyn Fox Keller, Who Turned a Feminist Lens on Science, Dies at 87
Trained as a physicist and biologist, she argued that science had become gendered, with a narrow masculine framework that distorted inquiry.
