I have just lost a long thread of posts I was writing about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Now, I believe that is for the best. Anyway, after a lengthy explanation of myself, I was going to say this:

Thou shalt not commit fucking genocide.

I am a member of several established international scholarly organisations, and that is just about it. I am a member, but I am unable to receive replies to my emails or applications to several of their services.

I wonder if I am doing something wrong, or if it is just the way it is.

BTW what I like is usually meta-, I like starting from the beginning and usually cannot see the finish line.

So first post maybe about with my dissatisfaction with PhilBio and my not-even half-baked ideas about how should it be.

I have been thinking about your two suggestions. I am in between writing about what I want and the other (🤷). It is a hard decision for me to make. I think I will choose the "what I what" option, and I need to think harder about what to do with my Introduction to Biology "course".

However, unfortunately, more science-minded individuals didn't react well to the philosophy part.

I am thinking this philosophy of biology blog as a reading material for those.

I am not so sure about the audience: non-philosopher, educated general audience maybe, if there's such a thing.

Recently, l have started giving an introduction to biology public course, for interested individuals which is heavy on history and philosophy.

Truth has nothing to do with words, it is unspeakable. It is about action, doing the right thing at the right time. Sorry 🤷🏾

More and more Democrats in Congress understand that spending billions of taxpayer dollars to starve children in Gaza is not acceptable.

It’s time Republicans came on board.

No more military aid to Netanyahu’s war machine.

The previous generations (boomers) were much more trusting of what they read, and in my generation (X, Y, Z), we learnt to suspect what we see online. The coming generations will rightfully assume that whatever media the info is presented to them is mostly fake. #EpistemicCrisis
