GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I think we are all feeling a little wonky and off at this point. We‘re lucky I‘ve kept up with this book since the election. 🤣😂🤣 1d

kspenmoll All that you mentioned! 6d

GingerAntics @kspenmoll sadly, I feel there an amount of character development that is entirely out of control of the individual… up to a point. If you were raised poorly, as an adult you have to make the choice to learn differently. You also have to be free and choose to question your beliefs. Unfortunately, very few people actually do this. The genetics you can‘t really do anything about, though. 1d

I think I accidentally read/listened to this week‘s chapter last week, but I need to double check for sure. How is everyone doing so far this week?

kspenmoll I am behind, having trouble focusing- 2w

AlaSkaat I am couple chapters behind! With my twins funeral and cremation and developing a womb infection!!! It‘s been the hardest past 8 weeks of my life. Life always gets in the way of our book discussions! I‘d love to finish this one but might be a little late 1w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat oh my God! I am SO sorry! We are so not important right now. We will discuss this whenever you want. Big digital hugs! I am so so sorry for what you‘re going through. We‘re here if you need to talk, or vent, or whatever. 🤗🤗🤗 7d

GingerAntics @kspenmoll same! I feel like I‘m just escaping and doing whatever I can to just ignore the madness. 7d

kspenmoll @AlaSkaat Sending you love love love. I am so deeply sorry. 💕💕💕 6d

AlaSkaat @GingerAntics @kspenmoll Thank you guys ❤️‍🩹 books are actually my escape atm so it‘s very helpful. But my mind is working slow so reading is going slow, but I‘ll get there 6d

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat there is nothing wrong with that, just take your time. 6d

On this, the most stressful day (and probably week) of the year, how are you doing? Everyone getting some down time and taking care of themselves?

@TheBookHippie @ravenlee @JaclynW @RavenLovelyReads @AlaSkaat @Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll @bnp

AlaSkaat Sorry I‘m a couple chapters behind! It‘s been such a rough month. I‘m going to have time to rest this weekend so I‘ll catch up then!! 3w

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat I‘m not so sure about that now. We just have to conclusion, but it may have to wait a few weeks. We‘ll see what everyone says. 2w

ravenlee I‘ve been having one of the most difficult months of my life…and then the election happened. Sorry I haven‘t been present for the read. 2w

GingerAntics @ravenlee it‘s definitely been a month or so! That election certainly didn‘t help anything. Ugh! I‘m keep hoping there is some kind of irregularity found or something (ANYthing), but I know there won‘t be. It‘s just so hard to give up on hope. 2w

kspenmoll @ravenlee I have been in & out myself & behind in reading. Sending you hugs- & hope that despite the election, your personal life gets better. 💖 2w

kspenmoll I am behind like everyone else… 2w

GingerAntics It‘s a good time to be behind. I‘m glad we scheduled specifically to have wiggle room. We will get through this together. 2w

kspenmoll No it would not. Harris says a few things such as “The urge for retribution depends on our not seeing underlying causes of human behavior.”(55) 2w

This one really made me stop and think for a minute… or 20… I even had to look up the actual definition of psychopath.

@TheBookHippie @ravenlee @JaclynW @RavenLovelyReads @AlaSkaat @Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll @bnp

kspenmoll Yes I think there can be psychopaths- lack of free will does not negate behavior that hurts/harms society. 2w

Here we go, kids. I‘m hoping our sparking conversations can distract me today, but I‘m thinking I‘m going to pull a teenager today and just have my headphones on all bleeding day?!

kspenmoll Keep those headphones on! 2w

kspenmoll I have to read the chapter on Moral Responsibility- behind 2w

GingerAntics @kspenmoll eh, the chapters aren‘t too involved, so no biggie. Headphones on, smutty, escapist books on repeat, animal crossing in front of my face. I‘m still in the hide and deny stage, I think. 2w

Sorry guys! I‘m sucking at life right now. I will post later today. I need anything to distract me from the dramatic wait to find it if I need to have my tubes tied and start putting in applications for political asylum.

CBee Sending love to you - I totally understand 😥😥 3w

GingerAntics @Cuilin @CBee I‘m trying to take it one step at a time. Step 1: no more 🤬🤬🤬ing political ads. I‘ve started singing Dave Barnes‘s Little Lies over them. 3w

GingerAntics UPDATE: all of the places I need to call about getting my tubes tied before January doesn‘t open until 9. Seriously people? I have stuff to do today and you are only the beginning. 2w

GingerAntics @Cuilin it ended SO quickly! It was terrifying. It was like a replay of 2016… just worse! 2w

kspenmoll @GingerAntics @Cuilin We are in the same place…love & community- I love the singing of Little Lies- we are not watching news right now. 2w

GingerAntics @kspenmoll girl, I am avoiding the news like the bleeding plague! Half of it is just “who knew America was so sexist and racist?” I just want to bang my head on the wall and run away to my animal crossing island. 2w

I felt like the point he made about reading was perfect for us.
#FreeWill #SamHarris #Philosophy #AdventuresInPhilosophy #DeadPhilosophersSociety
@TheBookHippie @ravenlee @JaclynW @RavenLovelyReads @AlaSkaat @Chrissyreadit @kspenmoll @bnp

kspenmoll Read to learn, to grow, to change, to expose myself to other‘s perspectives & ideas, to escape! 2w

GingerAntics @kspenmoll girl, I am still entirely in the escapism zone! What makes you choose to read for those purposes, though. Maybe a better answer, what makes you choose to read at all? 2w

kspenmoll @GingerAntics Deep thinking question. I grew up being read to, surrounded by book & generations of readers,had free access to parental books,(how I found Agatha Christie so young), weekly library visits…books as Christmas/birthday gifts…we still exchange books with the younger generation- shared books & discussed them with my closest cousin/brother when he was diagnosed with melanoma & died🔽 (edited) 6d

kspenmoll Within a year- the night before he died in his sleep I gave him a book -he read until the end. So maybe I can say that for me it was more of a milieu I was immersed in, I did not think about choice; it was who a was, a book. 6d

GingerAntics @kspenmoll whatever you gave him must have been that good, that he needed to know how it ended. What a wonderful, special memory. 6d
