On today's new episode we begin to look at Pierre Gassendi, focusing on the evolution of his thought from skepticism to “baptized Epicureanism.”

Marx started with atoms and ended with class- but still particles in motion, still smashing into each other.
Replace atoms with people, collisions with revolutions.
Democritus gave him atoms; Marx made them dialectical.
You get the idea.

Science is a practice, not something you ‘believe’ or ‘accept’. If you don’t know the rules and understand the philosophical commitments, what you’re doing is just a shift from priestly robes to lab coats #materialist #naturalism #anti-teleology #atomism #utilitariantendecies

Democritus, the laughing philosopher, is fascinating. A truly omnivorous intellectual!
The script is slowly being formed, but it’s more work than anticipated; there’s a lot of things to think through.
Also, I’m secretly working on other projects😉
