Over the past year, I’ve been writing a series of thought experiments on wave dynamics, perception, and anomalous phenomena.
They’re not scientific papers - they’re invitations to think sideways. Curious? Good! 👇

Next week (Nov 5) is the start of eldercollege.org Zoom course on #thoughtexperiments in science and philosophy - check it and many others out!
The question isnt are thought experiments real?
The question is: how many universes have already been born from thought alone?
Every experiment is a glitch in matter where imagination chews through steel.
#ThoughtExperiments
I don't run thought experiments to "prove." I run them to glitch reality in my skull.
When Mary sees red, when Lucretius hurls his spear, when Thomson plugs me into her violinist, I taste the code bending.
It's not argument.
It's Wisdom whispering through fiction's mask.

Did you know Timothy Chambers challenged conventional ethics with his thought experiments? This philosopher’s work on moral dilemmas continues to spark debates in contemporary philosophy. (Q7807107) #Ethics #ThoughtExperiments
I am relieved and grateful that my book on #thoughtexperiments, #science, and #theology continues to attract very positive feedback. Here is a recent review by Eleanor Helms, who has a great book coming out herself on #Kierkegaard and #thoughtexperiments. publicera.kb.se/aejpr/articl...
A photo of Docker's TruTemp365 tag on the waist band of a pair of pants.
"Suppose a person, whom we shall name Mr. Truetemp, undergoes brain surgery by an experimental surgeon who invents a small device which is both a very accurate thermometer and a computational device capable of generating thoughts. ... Now imagine, ..., that he has no idea that the tempucomp has been inserted in his brain, is only slightly puzzled about why he thinks so obsessively about the temperature, but never checks a thermometer to determine whether these thoughts about the temperature are correct. He accepts them unreflectively.... Thus, he thinks and accepts that the temperature is 104 degrees. It is. Does he know that it is? Surely not." Lehrer, K. (1990). Theory of Knowledge. Routledge. pp 162-163
Maybe @Dockers opted for the misspelled "TruTemp" #branding because #philosophy had already taken "Truetemp".
Aside: I recently published new data about #thoughtExperiments like Truetemp:

Reality is a fascinating concept.
Got bored at work today so I did a bit of a thought experiment and wrote out the results. I apologize in advance for the handwriting. TLDR if you flatten space into 2D and use time as a third dimension you get a cool looking hourglass.

A polar bear sitting on a melting ice cap, chatting with an atlantic puffin - making commentary about arctic tundra’s rising carbon emissions. To wit, the bear replies, “the tundra has something in common with donald trump’s brain”.
What happens when polar bears and arctic puffins (who understand politics) talk about climate change?

A Saturday spent looking back and gazing ahead.
If we accepted that ever so often our view of the world changes, & with it change our frameworks of knowledge, would we be kinder to ourselves & those who came before us - & maybe even to those yet to come?

If everyone in the world went to bed fed (think full tummy, warm feelings), what might be the thing/situation that changes first?
