The Dictionary
I read the English Dictionary in short sections, comment on it, make bad jokes, and sometimes sing little songs. I hope it’s more entertaining than just reading the dictionary alone. It’s an evolving project so the letter ”A” had lower quality, plus less commenting and jokes.

#E135 (ergonovine to ERISA) 08.03.2024 31:35
I read from ergonovine to ERISA. In the mid-100s, the Erie people were almost completely exterminated because of 5 years of fighting with the Iroquois. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erie_people Eris, the Dwarf Planet, is named after Eris, the Greek Goddess, because "'Eris caused strife and discord by causing quarrels among people,' said Brown in 2006, 'and that's what this one has done to...

#E131 (equiv to ER) 04.03.2024 30:43

I read from epipelagic to episcia. Epiphenomenalism is an interesting idea, but "The most powerful argument against epiphenomenalism is that it is self-contradictory: if we have knowledge about epiphenomenalism, then our brains know about the existence of the mind, but if epiphenomenalism were correct, then our brains should not have any knowledge about the mind, because the mind does not affe...
