Anyone else still struggling to review this one? It‘s been over a month, we are starting our next book‘s discussion TOMORROW, and I still don‘t have a handle on exactly what this was.

bnp @GingerAntics - is this a group read? How does it work? 12mo

GingerAntics @bnp hey! Welcome to the party! Right now we were working on picking our next read. Then we will all ready a chapter a week and discuss at the end of the week (or when you get to that part of the book - sometimes we fall behind and shift or people read a couple chapters at a time and catch up that way, it just depends). We‘re not super strict around here. It‘s more for the great discussions. If you‘d like, I can tag you. 11mo

5K and 10K Training | Brian Clarke

I‘ve been pretty AWOL lately. Somehow, I ended up signing up for my first 10K with only 12 weeks to train… and it was the middle of winter and all the blizzards were coming (peer pressure is real!). I got lost on what day of the week it was. I missed some posts. I‘ve spent many weekends mostly asleep. Luckily, the race is in three weeks (5/20) so I‘ll be back to normal after that. I promise.

@TheBookHippie @ravenlee @JaclynW @RavenLovelyReads @AlaSkaat @Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll you guys have seriously taken the brunt of this one. I‘m so sorry. I promise, the next book will be better. 12mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 12mo

ravenlee No worries. I think life kind of caught up to all of us, certainly me, and this book was tough to discuss. I hope your race goes well! Good luck. And we‘ll get the band back together soon. 12mo

Plato at the Googleplex: Why Philosophy Won't Go Away | Rebecca Goldstein

This book was a real trip for all of us. This might be the most important conversation we have about this book.

TheBookHippie This book was a trip. Most of the time I was WTF. However. It made us think and made us question ourselves so that in itself is worth it to me. It was very strange and almost irreverent at times but I think that was the point? Confront ourselves rather than hand us answers. We must know ourselves how to search for truth. And we must also be open to change know better do better. So many people get stuck in this is how it is and never veer from it. 12mo

TheBookHippie I think this is accurate “Above all, my Plato is the philosopher who teaches us that we should never rest assured that our view, no matter how well argued and reasoned, amounts to the final word on any matter. And that includes our view of Plato.” (edited) 12mo

TheBookHippie What‘s next to read?! I very much like having philosophy as a regular read! 12mo

What about science?
#PlatoAtTheGoogleplex #RebeccaGoldstein #Philosophy #AdventuresInPhilosophy #DeadPhilosophersSociety
@TheBookHippie @ravenlee @JaclynW @RavenLovelyReads @AlaSkaat @Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll

TheBookHippie More. Religion is set. (Most of them) and religion is exclusive. Philosophy is inclusive. Science should be a partner to philosophy and spiritual (non religious). 12mo

kspenmoll @TheBookHippie said it perfectly! 12mo

TheBookHippie I think the minute we stop questioning and being philosophical is when dictatorship wins. We are easy to control without philosophy. 12mo

kspenmoll I think it is vital to our world- we need to keep questioning ourselves & it is a scary thought to think@of life without its expansive inclusive thought processes. 12mo
