You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Web site!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

(Yes, my first thought was "Penises?")

Me too, but I watched the Billy Connolly episode of The Daily Show last night, and Jon was talking about wrapping one around his neck.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

There really, really, really needs to NOT be a huge tray of delicious cookies right in front of my desk. Really. A lot. The end.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The only problem with a website is building traffic. A monument we could deliver right to sara's office lobby.

But I can't get that mixed up with the "sara is awardalicious" ones.

Oh jeezusgodno.

And generally, no. Ha ha.

there can be an award presentation and monument unveiling ceremony. possibly with dancers and definately with a loudspeaker to say her name lots and loudly. maybe clowns.

See this? This is me. In another state, thankfully.

The lecturer (who is excellent) is a self-declared lapsed Popper-ian, so we get to hear quite a lot about him, as well.

I suppose that all scientists are lapsed Popperians, in the sense that we aim for, but cannot possibly meet his standards. According to Popper, we're all supposed to be working feverishly to disprove our own ideas. That's hard to do. I know I've never done it. Fortunately, science doesn't depend on the perfect virtue of individual scientists. There always are plenty of other people happy to work feverishly to disprove our ideas, even if we can't be relied on to do it ourselves. Then we can get pissed off about it and work feverishly to disprove their ideas. Science is Popperian even if scientists are not.

Nilly, if you are enjoying this class you might want to read the breezy, easy-to-follow book Wittgenstein's Poker, which takes a very personal approach to philosophy of science based on a purported confrontation between Wittgenstein and Popper at an informal seminar.

LOVE IT.

We can direct people to the website that way, too.
