Mostly reading the suttas on #Buddhism and #DependentOrignation. I have two main questions: is birth about the birth of self-view, i.e., can happen several times each day? And: does suffering develop over childhood? Looks like the answer to both might be yes. Still interested in #Abelard's #conceptualism, the #Zettelkasten, and listened to podcasts on #Hume and #Lakoff. Updated #ReadingLog
