  • Shitpost. Indeed… From Wikipedia:

    In a letter to Yvonne Davet, Orwell described Animal Farm as a satirical tale against Stalin (“un conte satirique contre Staline”),[7] and in his essay, “Why I Write” (1946), wrote: “Animal Farm was the first book in which I tried, with full consciousness of what I was doing, to fuse political purpose and artistic purpose into one whole”.













  • The way hypothesis are drawn, which programs are promoted, where budgets are cut, etc. are all political decisions that shape science. But I understand your point, although I wasn’t talking about free will. Somehow, this talk reminded me of a book, ‘the naked ape’… it was written by a zoologist. Probably had many things just plain wrong, and it’s more speculative-observations than actual rigorous studies. But I enjoyed reading it when I was an life sciences undergraduate. Btw, why are we writing Man with a capital letter? This is what prompted my previous question.


  • That falling out of love concept is really my big fear.

    Don’t overthink it. If you are aware that this could happen, you will be able to see it at its earliest ;)

    Did you communicate about it with your partner? That’s probably a great starting point. Go for a chill afternoon of opening. Sometimes, we go through so much together that we take the other for granted, or just forget to open-up and share our innermost feelings with enough room of both space and time.
