Heading up to race in the #barcolana57 with my son, sister, sister-in-law and my best friend- it really doesn’t get much better than that and I can’t wait. Anyone in Trieste this weekend? Cheer for us!

Physicist and neuroscientist Dr. Alex Gómez-Marín delivered a strikingly activist speech at the Science of Consciousness Conference, 2025. He argued that we are now in a war on consciousness, with materialism and trans-humanism forming a dangerous cocktail.

Why are women philosophers often erased from collective memory? | Aeon Essays

The history of ideas still struggles to remember the names of notable women philosophers. Mary Hesse is a salient example

From @emilyherring.bsky.social Emily Herring’s book Herald of a Restless World, it seems to me that Henri Bergson’s words offer the strongest argument for why we still need the humanities in an increasingly technological world.

Had VIP tickets for the Genoa-Lazio game tonight. Then Pope Francis died and all Serie A games were postponed.
How’s your day going?
