What if humans aren't the most intelligent form of life on this planet?
// Jonathon Keats – Experimental Philosopher, Artist & Writer, Smithsonian Institution

Jonathon Keats takes philosophical ideas and puts them into the world – as an experimental philosopher, artist and writer. He has screened travel documentaries for houseplants, appointed slime molds as visiting scholars, and built a clock that ticks to the growth of thousand-year-old trees.

// At #Waterkant26, Jonathon brings three projects: a panel on curiosity – how do you ask a truly good question? A workshop inviting participants to imagine beings that go beyond the human. And his latest project: a tidal clock connecting Kiel and San Francisco through the language of the ocean.

Pills often feature in thought experiments to eliminate the difficulty of one of the response options. Example: It's hard to [X] in reality, but suppose you could [X] by taking a pill. Would you take the pill?

I got curious about whether people find it so easy to take pills. Apparently not.
