So Trump is trying to say the NY case relied on private records/testimony of his conversations with his advisors, which per the ruling shouldn’t be admitted as evidence. I don’t see how any of those actions qualify as official acts (tho I guess we’ll see)!

Not a philosopher of science, but I think the value-laden questions in science (esp medicine) are really worth thinking carefully about. I think there’s a lot of latent value judgments involved in things, eg, like “is this condition a lethal anomaly?” www.jstor.org/stable/3528153

Correct. Albert Schweitzer who at 30, after publishing a pivotal work in Historical Jesus research and organ composition, decides to retrain as a doctor and live as medical missionary in Gabon. I love it bc Schweitzer is relatively obscure in popular culture.

It’s my second favorite Simpsons quote, only to this deep cut from the Stone Cutters episode.
