+EDIT: A previous version of this was unkind, perhaps too much so. 
+
+Not a lot of philosophy stands out to me. It feels like, since the Greeks, we've gotten pretty bogged down in proofs and formulations, with very little to show for it. Of course, the hell do I know? Some things have stood out to me, though. So follows, in no particular order, a short (living) list of things I have found that inspired my intrest: 
+
+- Jean-Dominique Bauby, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"
+- Thomas Young, "Overconsumption and procreation: are they morally equivalent?."
+
+Your mileage may, decidedly, vary.
