Luke Weaver, once a star relief pitcher for the New York Yankees, has run into a professional crisis. He can’t get any batter out.
“After a recent poor performance in the baseball playoffs, Weaver said, ‘I don’t really feel like myself. I don’t feel like my mind is completely clear to go out there and attack. I do feel physically strong. I do feel mentally strong overall.’ … We have all felt like Weaver. … You may have noticed times when you have a lot on your mind and your mind-chatter tries to defend your self-concept. David Hume would say that, no matter how it appears to us, our thought-based self-concept is not who we truly are.” (10/08/25)
