- “One cannot intend whatever one wants to intend any more than one can believe whatever one wants to believe. As our beliefs are constrained by our evidence, so our intentions are constrained by our reasons for action.” bit.ly/neuro-will
- Why can't scientists, physicists, and mathematicians give up blackboards? “You don’t imagine something first and then write it down. It’s through the act of writing that ideas make themselves known.”
- This illusion, created by the artist Victoria Skye, was one of the top entries in the 2017 Best Illusion of the Year Contest. Believe it or not, the horizontal lines are all perfectly parallel. bit.ly/trippy-visuals
- Replying to @extramicrowaveHi! Science magazine here. The data says you're absolutely right.
- It's here: Cormac McCarthy's first published work of non-fiction. nautil.us/issue/47/consc…
- "Plants do have intelligence. They have all the structures. They have all the functions. They have the behaviors." bit.ly/smart-trees
- Science creates jobs. Science creates solutions. Science creates dreams. How can science be under attack? Because science is about facts. Because science is about reason. Because science can tell you what you don’t want to hear. It’s time to say enough. bit.ly/sci-matters

- "In most cultures, boys are taught not to be aggressive, but in all cultures, boys and men are more aggressive anyway." @SteveStuWill explains why. bit.ly/not-nurture
- "The social sciences and the humanities are still very influenced by religion. They have this whole mindset that humans are absolutely special. But the average biologist believes that everything is continuous." bit.ly/not-unique
