Although I’m disappointed the Counterpart wasn’t renewed for a third season, the second season ended really well. Definitely one of my favourite shows of the past few years.

Iβve been intrigued by Stoicism for a while now and How to Be a Stoic by Massimo Pigliucci is a great introduction to the ideas and practices of the Stoics. I particularly appreciated how Pigliucci made the practice applicable to modern day issues. π

After just two episodes, I’m definitely enjoying season 2 of Star Trek Discovery more than season 1. There were good parts of season 1, but overall it didn’t hold together for me. Regardless, always great to have new Star Trek

For awhile now I’ve been meaning to get serious about automation on iOS. The Siri Shortcuts Field Guide from @macsparky is a great, comprehensive introduction. While taking the course, I built a good dozen useful shortcuts and have many ideas for more.

Good advice from a philosopher on how to disagree constructively:
Many of my best friends think that some of my deeply held beliefs about important issues are obviously false or even nonsense. Sometimes, they tell me so to my face. How can we still be friends? Part of the answer is that these friends and I are philosophers, and philosophers learn how to deal with positions on the edge of sanity.
