I'm once again very grateful to a physicist-turned-philosopher friend who told me that she had heard from a colleague that Lakatos Proofs and Refutations is fun reading. Her colleague was right.

"Narcissism of small differences"
In 2010, author Christopher Hitchens cited the phenomenon when talking about ethno-national conflicts.[11] "In numerous cases of apparently ethno-nationalist conflict, the deepest hatreds are manifested between people who—to most outward appearances—exhibit very few significant distinctions."

Here's a little insight into how my creative mind works. As an author, artist, and voiceover artist, I just love to create something special...

A new blog post! In this piece, I talk about why I think, at large, people tend towards corruption.
I've spent a long time (months) thinking about how I'd write this, so I'm happy to finally actually write it.

@Neurograce is not a necessary condition of clear and accessible writing on weighty issues of #neuroscience and #philosphy, but they don't half help
Claims of necessity and sufficiency are not well suited for the study of #complex systems
"In modern neuroscience, we almost never know the full set of jointly sufficient conditions for #behavior
2/5
When I think of series like #CommandandConquer, #DeusEx, or the X space simulations, I realize how much of their charm and depth is lost if you only play the latest installments. Those who only experience remakes, remasters, or the modern entries of a series often miss out on the original spirit and the small details that made the older games so special—despite (or perhaps because of) their technical limitations.
4/5
Take #DeusEx, for example: if I only play the prequels like Human Revolution, I miss out on the original style and vision that defined the early installments. The same goes for #games like Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver—I want to play the originals and experience the atmosphere of the time in its raw form.
3/5
Of course, I make small compromises, such as using an #emulator when the original #hardware isn't available, or tweaking the resolution slightly to make the #games more enjoyable on modern screens. But I often avoid #remakes or #remasters with new textures, models, or interfaces because they alter the original charm of the games.
