It just occurred to me that there may be some here that have never heard of Norman Rockwell. That's why I put the puzzle in this thread... That's him doing a self portrait...
Tnx @motie2 for posting the Hubble article. Since astronomy is one of my hobbies (also took 2 courses on the subject in college), I found it very interesting. I already knew quite a bit about his research and discoveries, but very little concerning his personal life. Tnx again...
Bertrand Russell's parents, Viscount and Viscountess Amberley, were progressive for their era in the late 1800s. They were advocates of birth control, for example, and Lord Amberley was an atheist. The couple asked John Stewart Mill, an English philosopher and political economist, to be their son's "secular godfather." Theirs was an aristocratic family that came into power during the Tudor Dynasty in the 1500s and was politically influential from that time forward. Russell's grandfather was twice prime minister under Queen Victoria, in the 1840s and again in the 1860s.
@motie2 Bertand Russell... ah yes... Brings back memories of my old college days while taking logic and epistemology... Surprised I can still remember that far back!🥴
@motie2 and @KA9FFJ, I also spent time studying Philosophy and Mathematics. Thought teaching might be my final career path until I spent a few years tutoring logic!
@Balisong@motie2 See if you can make sense of this. I had a double major: Physical Education Art Minor: Philosophy Kinda like 3 different worlds colliding together...🥴🤯🥴
@KA9FFJ, sounds like you speed painted a tribute to the "Persistence of Memory" using the three requirements of the classic definition of knowledge as the clock hands!
@motie2, I went back to college in search of what's true. The closest thing I found is that you can build Mathematics from Peano's theorems and logic reduces all connectors to "and" and "not." Ethics and Morals were too complex.

Anyway, given the climate, I'm surprised this one is still on the market...

Those dirty advertising dogs didn’t let us know which blend Gregory Peck smoked (if any). I cry foul.

Ok, I never heard of him either, but what an incredible face!

Hey, you too? My BA is in Philosophy (1968).
I went right from Philosophy into Theology. Seemed a natural progression.....
See if you can make sense of this. I had a double major:
Physical Education
Art
Minor:
Philosophy
Kinda like 3 different worlds colliding together...🥴🤯🥴
It makes a certain sense when you consider the result. 🖖
