Continuing my struggle with book 6 of #books2026 Scanlon's What We Owe to Each Other. The analogies that have emerged so far for his contractualist argument are "porridge" and "fudge". It all starts to go wrong when he begins to discuss friendship

Hadn't posted anything on #books2026 zero idea how threads work here. Still on these books, currently chs 4+5 of 5/ - wonderfully written with sensitive insight and around 100 pages into 6/ - tough going but discussions are rewarding. Reading a few pages most days

Measles. Again. Imagine wanting this to happen, out of sheer stupidity and spite
