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

Philosophically, I suspect bc Twitter is trying to do a Central Planning Committee of the USSR, 'I alone can fix it' thing, and funnel us into one place, it's in trouble. But technically is a whole other issue: 'Here’s how a Twitter engineer says it will break in the coming weeks: One insider says the company’s current staffing isn’t able to sustain the platform.'
