5 things make a post
Oct. 24th, 2014 11:17 am1. Gratuitous Icon for this post: 
2) Something silly:
But I tuned in for the poetry! And I can't find the clip anywhere!
3) There are videos I want to make and upload. But for some reason, no matter what I try (including fixes and troubleshoots that have worked before), my microphone won't record sound. :-/
4) Conjecture: The reason that many people think secular, atheist, scientific, worldviews are cold or aloof is that, in discussions of philosophical implications, the language typically used for science confuses meaning and process, as in:
Q: "What is the meaning of Life?"
A: "Life exists so that a species' genes will be passed down from generation to generation."
That's a perfectly valid description of the process of Life. But that has very little to do with meaning.
And no, I do not accept that science Cannot answer that question at all. I'll probably come back to this with a dedicated post.
5. If you could invent a holiday for a public observation and celebration, what (or who) would you choose to celebrate? (Again, I'll probably come back to this).
