This afternoon at 1:46pm, we received notification of my daughter’s SHSAT results from the New York City department of education. She’ll be attending school this fall at Brooklyn Tech, just a few miles away from our home, along with many of her eighth grade classmates. I’m very proud of her.
Sphex Ichneumoneus
Sphex is the colloquial name of a particular kind of digger wasp. Daniel Dennett effectively uses this wasp’s burrowing routine to show how, even basic examinations of animal behavior can lead us right to the doorstep of causal determinism: the belief that everything (ie: particle systems, wasp brains, human courtship rituals, the universe) can be explained as states of affairs, resulting from some previous state(s) of affairs in a purely mechanistic fashion. When a causally deterministic outlook is applied to questions of agency, free will, and consciousness, the implications pile up fast. Some interesting explorations of this issue can be found in popular shows like Devs [FX] and West World [HBO].

Employee Review Samples from a Startup: Chewie
Once in LA, Chewie bought me the greatest chocolate chip cookie I ever had. It was a little place called the Coffee Commissary. He’s a little clumsy, which is odd, because he’s an outstanding rock climber. One year, at one of our summits, he nearly killed our CFO when a horseshoe came flying out of his hands. Total accident, no one got hurt.
