In answer to the question of how you should write a philosophy essay one of my teachers - Malcom Budd - said ‘Answer the question clearly and simply.’ Superb answer and an example of itself. I’ve tried to follow in all I do.
What’s the most significant advice you received from a teacher?
I had a Geology prof who always said “have strong opinions, loosely held”
Be passionate, assess alternatives with conviction, take sides. But don’t fall so in love with your opinions that you can’t change them with better data.

Ultralight trackers make it possible, for the first time, to track the migration route of individual butterflies. Here are the routes taken by six monarchs this fall. Poor CMP032 got blown out to sea in New Jersey, and still managed to make it back to Florida. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/s...

new from me today: not all data centers are created environmentally equal — and building them in states with cleaner grids and more access to water could go a long way in preventing environmental catastrophe
If the US Has to Build Data Centers, Here’s Where They Should Go

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

I was braced for the headliner of the Redneck Comedy Tour to say some awful shit about homeless people. This was the opposite of that. This is beautiful, and it reaffirms my commitment to my life's mission ending homelessness.
