Current research shows several species can (and do) plan their next moves which is ‘seeing in the future’, so the views of both philosophers, in this instance’ are out of use-by-date.

That would be an interesting question to answer empirically wouldn’t it? I don’t know of any such research.

Stymied by writer's block? We know the feeling! Here are some tips from author Steve Almond on how to overcome it or even accept it as a potential ally to our creativity. "The first thing that needs to be said is that writers get blocked almost constantly. During the composition of this very paragraph, I stopped typing thirty-seven times (I counted), stumped as to what I wanted to say next, and how," writes Almond. "I got up and made a snack. I went outside to chase away the woodchuck living beneath our storage shed. I came back inside and turned off the app that turns off my internet and spent a solid half hour researching how to poison a woodchuck."

This is an excerpt from Almond's book, "Truth Is the Arrow, Mercy Is the Bow: A DIY Manual for the Construction of Stories," featured in LitHub.

@CultureDesk @bookstodon In the last few years, I keep coming across articles, writer’s advice, even martial arts texts which in one way or another address the issue of ego. Almond hit the nail on the head in this piece and named my nemessis: vanity. Though he is kind enough to suggest that vanity here stands for a need to be loved. My Writer’s Block has been too long, so I guess it’s time to give my ego a rest… working on it.
