What are the odds of TWO master orators married to one another? Listening to them speak was uplifting, inspirational and exhilarating. A reminder of another, better time when leaders spoke to our better angels & offered hope & optimism rather than divisive vulgarisms. #ChangeIsComingNovember3rd

The great fish pain debate shows us how scientific knowledge is shaped not just by linear progress, but also by historical contingency, cultural biases, philosophical roadblocks, and internal ethical paradoxes. And it reflects back a story about us humans — our endeavor to find sentience in our fellow creatures, and our countervailing impulse to deny morally important qualities in them."

And I’m going to keep them, which is not exactly the mood I’m in right now — because I’m in the mood to get rid of things. But it occurs to me that these shows may not always be accessible, so I’ll find a place for them.
