Let’s assume, for the sake of convenience, that we know a peasant named George: Is George more or less George when he is wearing his clothes or is he only George when he is naked? He is obviously more George when he wears his clothes, for how could you know George was a peasant without […]
This is a translation to Brazilian Portuguese for a previous info-graphic I made. Many thanks to Luiz Alexandre Lima Valdivino for the translation.
Much has transpired since I last posted. It’s been quite a while. I intend to start writing again with the additional smattering of information graphics as well.

If it keeps doing it, I’ll punish it.” I asked her inquisitively; “How would you punish it?” Her response was; “By eating it!” I pointed out to […]
What is goodness? I think the simple answer is this: Goodness is the degree to which something fulfills its purpose. In our age we will often attribute goodness to something based on the fact that we enjoy it, and even more particularly because it never satisfies but increases desire.
