Saturday morning reading: continuing on with the complete works of Plato. I’m currently on page 209 of 1,745 and am reading my 6th dialogue, one titled Theaetetus concerning the nature of knowledge. I’m enjoying this so much. Maybe too much. 😉

People have very little sense of the increase in carbon emissions. ~50% of all human-caused emissions have occurred since 1990.
