Happy #WorldBookDay!

A thread to celebrate books & reading.👇
"The mere reading of a book requires some degree of isolation, of being protected against the presence of others."
- Hannah Arendt
"So many books, so little time."
- Frank Zappa
"Reading good books is like having conversations with the finest minds of the past.”
- René Descartes
"Some people feel guilty about buying more books than they'll get round to reading. But if you buy books by living authors, you make it possible for us to keep writing. Think of it as an investment in the kind of writing that interests you."
- Nigel Warburton
"If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking."
- Haruki Murakami
"Today a reader, tomorrow a leader."
- Margaret Fuller

Happy #trolleyday!

Today's the birthday of Philippa Foot, the mother of one of the best known ethical dilemmas of our time: the 'trolley problem'.
The original trolley problem:

A brakeless trolley nears.
If you don't act, 5 people will die.
If you change its track by pulling the lever, only 1 will die.
What will you do?

#trolleyday
The trolley problem fallacy:
Perceiving the world as a collection of pullable levers.
