Here are some interesting articles I’ve come across recently, for your consideration:
The mystery of human uniqueness: what exactly makes our species special (if anything)? (Nautilus)
A brief and fascinating history of bullshit. (Madras Courier)
Nine quick facts about hermeneutics. (Oxford University Press blog)
Why we are still fighting about Freud, a surprisingly unskeptical essay by arch-skeptic John Horgan. (Scientific American blogs)
Contra this very confused article, reason does not exist without deliberation. (Aeon)
Philosophy as a Way of Life
Thank you for the third one … I, like you, like a lot of Horgan, and was simply gobsmacked when I saw that.

Horgan and I had a brief exchange on Twitter about that sheep and goats study he said proved Freud was correct in some way. I said, no, it proved Tinbergen and Lorenz were correct about imprinting.
Like
Socratic, exactly. That surprised the hell out of me.
