My current #artproject on #Behance deals with the #philosophically and #epistemologically interesting #question of how an alien, who has met #mankind on #earth, would describe these #humans to another alien, who has never seen them before . But the descriptions of the #humanityknowing alien don't seem entirely convincing to the other alien.

here's a new science #rant on #aging :)
as far as biology can tell, aging is best understood, #philosophically at least, as part of a #developmental continuum between #embryogenesis & death, which is pre-programmed somehow. therefore, we cannot in principle place precise "boundaries" or "cutoffs" between development, adulthood, and seniority. In strict #biological terms, they are all part of one continuous #program. a complete explanation of aging therefore requires complete #devbio knowledge
