When someone who made a life of profiting from inhumanity is themselves on the receiving end of inhumanity, I don’t lose my humanity in response.
I acknowledge an act of inhumanity has occurred and will now cause suffering by people not party to it.
Then I return to places where humanity exists.

Happy #QuantumDay to all who celebrate!
Max Planck submitted work on blackbody radiation to the German Physical Society #OTD in 1900.
His novel “quantum hypothesis” suggested that matter emits and absorbs light with frequency f only in discrete chunks of energy E=hf. 🧪 ⚛️ (1/n)

Does Quantum Mechanics Imply Multiple Universes?
Dive into the deepest quantum mystery: how do we transition from a haze of possibilities to the concrete reality we experience? Does the answer require a profusion of universes, each shaped by different quantum outcomes? This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.

So sad to hear Dan Dennett has died. Had an enormous impact on me and was a wonderful person. I was talking with him just a few weeks ago — had the pleasure of introducing him to David Wallace, another admirer.
