More new images from the #AssemblySpaceTelescope! Decades ago I read Climbing Mount Improbable by #RichardDawkins which changed my life by introducing me to the idea of mathematical spaces containing all possible #evolutionary forms. This #midjourney art project builds on that...more soon! And YES #NFTs are going to be part of it, and YES it's a big #FutureFossils #transmedia #scicomm #storytelling thing, and YES Patreon supporters have early exclusive personal use access to all of the hundreds and hundreds of images I'm generating for this project...and YES I'm making canvas prints on demand, DMs open! 👾💐 (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmZBFqJLdB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2/22/24 – Open 6-9p. Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.
Two very interesting books from a pile of new arrivals. Are they Philosophy? Writing? Sociology? I love the challenge of shelving cross-topic books. I'll probably put them in Science... Or, just let them float around the tables for a bit and see who finds them first. 😉

Our newest invention based on The Selfish Gene and Super Bowl
The Selfish Gene is a book by Richard Dawkins that explores the idea that genes are inherently selfish in their pursuit of survival and reproduction. On the other hand, Super Bowl is an annual championship game of the National Football League in the United States consisting of the best teams from the AFC and NFC conferences.
Now, imagine a world where genes were vying for a spot in the most…

The nervous system of a moth is structured such that it will navigate at a particular angle to the rays emitted by a bright light source: this happens to be a very good system for flying in a straight line when the light source is a celestial object located at optical infinity and the rays are therefore parallel when they reach the moth. Unfortunately, if the light source is much closer and the rays diverge, the moth's on-board navigation system will steer the moth in a spiral that leads into the source (and to a fiery death). Darwinians should seek an analogous explanation for religious behavior in humans. By the way, Happy Darwin Day! #mothtoaflame #scienceofreligion #edmond&lilysafracenterforethics #richarddawkins #religion #darwinian #evolution #meme #creator #creation #Harvard #darwinday https://www.instagram.com/p/Comuwg6vZssOZbPh6fClGsQPwgl9lOIe-CWL1s0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This really got a lot more traction than expected. This tells me a lot more people don’t know how to cope or deal with their emotions than expected. But there are better ways to tend to the issue than trying to change external forces that you can’t control. Instead, one must learn to focus on what they can control, themselves. Of course it won’t be easy. Nothing worth striving for in life is ever easy. Is it doable? Absolutely! . . . . . #dobetter #dobetterbebetter #self #selfcare #selfimprovement #selfdevelopment #selfawareness #selfgrowth #improve #mindset #mindful #mindfullness #mindfulnesspractice #mindfulnessmeditation #emotionaldamage #emotionalhealth #richarddawkins #jordanpeterson https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZsjaSLngg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Sunday, August 28, 2022
"Indeed, organizing atheists has been compared to herding cats, because they tend to think independently and will not conform to authority. But a good first step would be to build up a critical mass of those willing to 'come out,' thereby encouraging others to do so. Even if they can't be herded, cats in sufficient numbers can make a lot of noise and they cannot be ignored."
- Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

- I had concrete beliefs, as unbreakable and hard as walls; I stood by them, I was raised by them and for them; And just like #StDunstanInTheEats I was burned, bombed, destroyed. This church was named after a monk with a colourful life, and just like him, it went through a few things. First, the Great Fire, and then, rebuild; In 1941 it was almost entirely wiped out by a German bomb, having just some ruins left. The Anglican Church was forced to abandon it, and then, it became a garden. We still have our foundations and part of our structure, but we have more, we have something that the beliefs and toughness could never give us: Evolution. Following nature’s path, we evolved. We have found our way, no matter how bad we were: we have learned to adapt, we develop our strengths, our new “us” had blossomed despite all the damaged caused, took control knowing our weak spots to create new defenses, the resilient beauty of remembering who we are, and becoming the best versions of ourselves at the same time. Nature, life, always finds its way. And so do I. 🌱🧬 I guess this is a good example of #PoeticMagic @richard_dawkins mentioned in his book “The Magic of Reality”… #Evolution is not only a beautiful thing: It is a beautiful feeling! 🧠 #RichardDawkins #Magic #Science #Life (at St Dunstan-in-the-East) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeHCTWbjaun/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
