The purge is complete. Feels so good to let go. We’re down about 70% of the toys that we moved here with. Much more space to build and explore!

Book Review: On Conscience 📚
May 23, 2018This book was given to me as a gift by my parents. I’m developing an interest in bioethics, seeing as its the perfect marriage of healthcare and classical philosophy.
I didn’t find much in the way of discussion on conscience in this book, which is ironic given the title. The book is a collection of two long speeches given by Cardinal Ratzinger. There were plenty of quotes, but my hope was that he’d take head on the questions surrounding the primacy of conscience in the medical field. Of course, that would naturally include the role of conscience in medical decision making and intellectual disagreement in the field of research and practice of medicine.
The book is classic Ratzinger, very deep and thick.

Social Security
May 14, 2018With the privacy stuff at Facebook and Twitter's recent clash with 3rd party apps, I'm feeling so good about being a part of Micro.blog.
Even if one day in the very far future this service ends, I know I'll still have all of my content. All I will have to do is set up shop somewhere else, on the same domain, and my visitors won't know the difference.
That is a powerful value proposition.
