I started reading “In Praise of Wasting Time,” by physicist/philosopher Alan Lightman this past week. I hope to become an expert at it. One interesting nugget: research shows highly creative people tend to be of average intelligence - 120 or so IQ. #BlueskyBooks #AlanLightman #Philosophy

#ALANLIGHTMAN ON #FAITH
"Faith, in its broadest sense, is about far more than belief in the existence of God or the disregard of scientific evidence. Faith is the willingness to give ourselves over, at times, to things we do not fully understand.

Faith is the belief in things larger than ourselves. Faith is the ability to honor stillness at some moments and at others to ride the passion and exuberance that is the artistic impulse, the flight of the imagination, the full engagement with this strange and shimmering world."

A Language for the Exhilaration of Being Alive: The Poetic Physicist Alan Lightman on Music and the Universe
“Nowhere is the joy of existence so apparent as in music… Intelligent life-forms have created a multitude of sounds that express their exhilaration at being alive.”
