Image Credit: Memphis Meats by Karla Lant   Memphis Meats Investing in Cruelty-Free Food In August, Richard Branson wrote a post on the Virgin website about his investment in Memphis Meats, which expressed his vision about the future of food: “I believe that in 30 years or so we will no longer need to kill any animals and that all meat will either be clean or plant-based, taste the same and also be much healthier for everyone.

Fernando Kaskais

Rawpixels.com / Shutterstock The emerging neurology of one of our most human characteristics. BY MARIO LIVIO An amusing anecdote involving Darwin epitomizes the power of curiosity in creative people. When Darwin arrived at Cambridge in 1828, he became an avid collector of beetles. Once, after stripping the bark from a dead tree, he found two ground beetles and caught one in each hand. At that point, he caught sight of a rare crucifix ground beetle. Not wanting to lose any of them, he popped one beetle in his mouth to free a hand for the rarer species. That particular adventure … Continue reading Why Curiosity Can Be Both Painful and Pleasurable

The Meaning of “I Love You”: Robert Browning on Protecting the Sincerity of Sentiment from Desecration by Misuse

Fernando Kaskais

Robert Browning “People would hardly ever tell falsehoods about a matter, if they had been let tell truth in the beginning.” BY MARIA POPOVA Just as we have drained the word friend of meaning by misuse and overuse, we are constantly abrading the integrity of the word love with insincerity of sentiment. Adrienne Rich wrote that in any honorable relationship, we earn the right to use the word love through “a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other.” But what happens when the snake bites its own tail and the very truthfulness which this process presupposes … Continue reading The Meaning of “I Love You”: Robert Browning on Protecting the Sincerity of Sentiment from Desecration by Misuse
