Allllllriiiiiiight, hold the phone there, LeeRoy. Do you have any idea just how long ago Descartes was? And how are your kids, are they "fitting in"? I'll bet your teens don't think they do, and the reason I brought this up is because of some nonsense that just arrived in my news feed on here.

Force-fitting people into category pigeonholes is apparently the business of and what just came down the pike is which is pretty much an oxymoron.

Science is the finding of fact that stands up to testing, and that's why we have forensic science, and it's science's business to classify THINGS into cubbyholes, phyla, genus, & whatnot, while the philosopher thinks he/she can do that with people.

The problem philosopher is a person who pigeonholes people into stoic, rightist, leftist, regardless of how dynamic society changes even after lo, these many centuries. People who pigeonhole other people are toxic, so no wonder your kids feel like they don't fit in. They're not pigeons.

"... because people don’t understand science and how anything works.” - Mike Rothschild

Spring! When the skies are blue, the flowers are in bloom, and every bike path has a swarming bug-orgy right at mouth height.

Abbott and Costello went to Mars 71 years ago today. Or not.

"Two workmen accidentally launch a space rocket intended for Mars, and find mistakenly landing in New Orleans just the beginning of their misadventures."

"Old friends cannot be created out of hand. Nothing can match the treasure of common memories, of trials endured together, of quarrels and reconciliations and generous emotions."

The author of The Little Prince, published OTD in 1943, on friendship: t.co/W5kAM5IC1a
