The art of Juci teaches us that with care and dedication, broken things can be made whole again. A beautiful reminder to cherish and preserve the things that matter.
Juci is a traditional Chinese ancient technique embedding staples into broken porcelain to restore it to its original form.

Idk what kind of vector art you're doing but it's got me inspired to crack into OpenBSD and build shit. I'm a bit of a noob on that OS but I just feel inspired lately!!
This makes me really want to make sht
Yeah, Popperian falsificationism is the best empirical approach to science, but it is insufficient when it comes to a priori reasoning. Popper really had a knack for understanding the fallibility of people, including taking any other person's assertions on faith or assuming that a definition was THE authoritative definition. But to call all a priori reasoning trivial in the sense of NEVER telling us anything directly about the real world is absurd, not to mention the argument defeats itself.
One must only be aware of the tenuousness of definitions and context, and aware of the need for independent logical verification and independent empirical uncertainty and falsification to achieve a sufficient "criticalness" to their rationalism.
I haven't read enough to know about the fire poker argument, I should like to though. Sounds intriguing!
Today, I started reading a very interesting book on morality, tolerance, democracy, and totalitarianism.
It's The Open Society and Its Enemies by Karl Popper, recommended by nostr:nprofile1qqswgcxtzjagjaux5e6cc9f7hy274f2ued5ps9fagl64a08pqxa4emgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtckww6wl

Popper is pretty based for an empiricist, although democracy is not required for freedom and actually works counter to it. Statism of all kinds are a form of tyranny.
