at last i can use my degree π Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals and Beyond Good and Evil**** are interesting reads! Alternatively, in epistemology - WK Clifford, The Ethics of Belief and Rob Pasnau's Bias and Interpersonal Skepticism.

Iβm speaking for myself but Beyond Good and Evil activated some kind of internal locus of control in me that I didnβt have prior. Idk if philosophy is your thing but worth a shot

i know philosophy is always seen as pretentious and boring, and some of it is, but we are SO privileged to have access to a written history dating back millennia of the pursuit of understanding humanity. the fact that we have wanted to understand what it means to be human so badly that we have been writing about our theories since the moment we created written language is a philosophy in and of itself. find what studies of thought you relate to the most! marxism, nihilism, absurdism, existentialism, feminism, whatever! find the beauty in thought!
philosophy does not always have to be 800 page books of some old dead white guys dense musings. plenty of novels cover philosophical issues, like piranesi by suzanna clark. reading philosophy, in my experience, helps expand your empathy and understanding of the human condition while helping you discover yourself as well. read with purpose! it's a magical thing.
please share your favorite philosophical texts you've read with me :) i'm always looking for new ones <3

bring back parks, cheap movie tickets, and loitering! thinking about how the third space has now become a for-profit project does make me sad, but finding these spots in random cities really do add a new spark into your day-to-day. let the kids catch a vibe.
