  1. Back in April, I gave a short talk to a Unitarian congregation down in Myrtle Beach. The prompt they gave me was an interesting one: How do you employ art to make meaning in your life?

    I stewed on that question for a long time, and writing the talk ended up being really cathartic for me - it gave me a chance to process questions I've wrestled with for an awfully long time.

  5. Why does anything exist? This crisp clip from AlwaysAsking lays out the only two options—something from nothing or self‑existent things—and invites you to pick a side. Short, clear, and mind‑bending. Perfect for a coffee‑break philosophy debate! #philosophy #existence #metaphysics #ontology #bigquestions #science #AlwaysAsking #English

  7. Why are there no walls between universes?
    Because walls require special rules.
    Nature rarely builds walls — it builds gradients.
    If universes form at energy thresholds, then separation is not a barrier, but a difference in state.
    No bricks.
    No borders.
    Just transitions.
    What if reality is continuous, not compartmentalized?

  12. ⚡🔫🕶️ Einstein tossed a mean curveball: does God play by his own rules or break them like a thug in the night? Faster than light, two places at once, maybe even nowhere at all. Science hunts proof, faith takes it on the chin. No answers, just smoke, mirrors, and the dark. #BigQuestions theconversation.com/can-the-la

  19. We've unveiled cosmic secrets & life's code. Science delivered answers our ancestors only dreamed of. Yet, our power now outpaces our wisdom. This century demands we bridge that gap. Will we choose flourishing or collapse?

  26. When I was younger I always liked falling back on the clock because it meant I could stay up later watching TV or fucking around on the Internet.

    Now I look forward to the extra hour of sleep and maybe being awake early enough to go for a run and a shower before going to a networking breakfast.

    Is this being a geezer or being smarter?

  34. What if the "hard problem" of consciousness - why physical stuff creates subjective experience - points to something more? Could our awareness be a hint of the imago dei, made in the image of God? #Theology #BigQuestions

  37. Would we feel different about death if we always tried to remember it at the moment of birth? If, welcoming a new being into the world, we were always to say, “Here is a creature that will die some day. Here we are, at the beginning of a journey that will eventually, rightfully come to an end”?

  41. If you are in a group of friends who all sleep with each other, have a private Discord group, decided on a name, and discussed a logo and logistics of everyone getting a tattoo of it... does that mean we are officially a polycule? 🤔
