      6/ There are several dots in this image, but you can't perceive them all at once. If I asked you to identify the position of dots, you could do so. But, your visual system *doesn't* make it obvious. It's unstable. You have to abstract and extract information. pic.twitter.com/IXASOBAzRS

      I really love scifi with terraforming but can someone please spend time imagining the incredible society capable of taking on a project in the 1,000-100,000 year range. It's certainly not ours. We can't even keep the national parks open.

          Sometimes I feel bad about buying books. I worry that in doing so, I risk treating them as trophies on a shelf rather than guided experiences. Then, I revisit one and see my highlights from years ago, and it's like having a conversation with yester-me. Books are good, folks.
