ICYMI (Philosophy) Daily Digest report

I think I have now bought more patterns than I can ever knit.... but this one is going to top of my queue... for my kids, with choose-your-own-motifs, which I hope will make for many sweaters over the years...

My eldest requested one in pink with pink. So that will call for a trip to the yarn store soon! 3x100 fingering, so seems doable.

There is also an adult version, BTW.

Ik had gewoon wat muziek voor mezelf opgezet, kwam de 5-jarige ineens naar beneden, pakte mijn telefoon, zette de lyrics-functie van Spotify aan, en begon mee te zingen... met het nummer "JE HAAT GEEN MAANDAG JE HAAT KAPITALISME" van Hang Youth. Het blijkt een grote hit bij haar.

"We gingen met zijn allen muziek luisteren bij de BSO," vertelde de 8-jarige me net. "En toen heb ik voor mijn zusje maar dat nummer over 'je haat geen maandag' opgezet."

😂

It's always cool to see the work my students at Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design have produced as their senior thesis projects. Here are pics of the projects by Brady Vanderhart, Cyprien Morin, Dante McCabe, and Emory Kaveckis!

@philippsteinkrueger Cool question! I found that for SARS-CoV-2, an "infected person carries an estimated 1 billion to 100 billion virions during peak infection" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8237675/. Going with the upper end here, so 10^11, that's still 4 orders of magnitude smaller than hundreds of trillions (~10^15).
So, an active viral infection adds less than 0.1% to your body's virus particle count.

New video on John McDowell's article with the pithy title "The Disjunctive Conception of Experience as Material for a Transcendental Argument". (He forgot to add: "... against External World Skepticism". 😎 )

Third Update:
Dr. Shalhoub-Kevorkian, my colleague at Hebrew University, has been arrested for "incitement" for the comments mentioned earlier in this thread.

The fascist (and I am saying this literally, not as an exaggerated insult) Itamar Ben-Gvir, Minister of National Security, has released a statement praising the arrest.
