I thought I’d posted this, but we’ve lost a giant of math, physics, philosophy and space. Condolences to Esther and the rest of the family. I just saw her at the space transportation conference a few weeks ago.
From over two decades ago, here’s an interview of him by Stewart Brand.
Lots of comments over at Instapundit.
Existential Hope
I was introduced to Allison a couple years ago, but only briefly. I really only got to know her a few days ago, at a Foresight event on lunar governance. I hadn’t realized that she was so interested in space.
Anyway, she is a brilliant and very charismatic young woman, as this video demonstrates.
Plant-Based “Food”
…is destroying the planet. But, hey, at least it’s terrible for you, nutritionally.
Nutritional Mythology
No, there is no scientific reason to think that plant-based diets are healthier than meat-based ones, or healthy at all.
The Transhuman Party
Huh.
This is the first time I’d heard of this guy.
The Space Show
Sorry for the short notice; I should have posted it days ago. I’m going to be on in a few minutes, starting at noon PST.
Aging
…should be classified as a disease. It’s a public-health tragedy that hasn’t long been. To think that we shouldn’t fight it because it’s “natural” is the naturalistic fallacy. Nature is not our friend.
Climate Over The Next Three Decades
Plausible scenarios, and all of the natural forcing functions indicate cooling.
