Really don't think you can be surprised that Iranians aren't rising up when the regime killed by some estimates 30,000+. The protesters aren't cowed, they're dead

Actually, the 2020s feel like the 1910s and 1930s happening at the same time, only now under the shadow of an ecological crisis we are failing to take as seriously enough.

I'm reading some very reassuring news about China and Iran. I'm feeling very reassured about all this. Feeling some unprecedented levels of reassured.

Raymond Geuss has convinced me that the central question I have been asking myself, the question that defines much of the philosophy as a way of life orientation, is conceptually useless.

In pushing Labour's extreme and hostile anti-asylum and anti-immigration policies the Home Secretary has lied. She has, deliberately or through ignorance, misled the public on fundamental aspects of both. That alone should surely be a resigning matter

I know this is an emotive subject and while I agree that people with ADHD should have access to proper care and medication in a timely fashion, these concerns don't seem insane to me.

Thinking again about how Robert Musil's Man Without Qualities is centrally about the irreconcilable gap between the sexy murder poet and basically pleasant bureaucrat modes of thinking and living.

The question "how should I live?" is a trap. It's a question so vague, so encompassing, that it guarantees either trivial answers or no answers at all

I don’t see how a democratic society can allow a political party to illegally pretend to be the official opposition and openly campaign on a platform of illegal ethnic cleansing

The only thing I'll add to the tourettes discourse is that like intrusive thoughts, coprolalia will often select things the person knows are inappropriate and that they have specifically worried they might end up saying. It is not evidence of racism.

It is not some individual sense that is more central—vision or audition, say—but the capacity to direct attention.

This is a nice framing. I think it also explains why I shifted to emphasise suffering less after my dissertation on it. It's not that I think suffering is less morally pressing, more than I don't think morality trumps all other values.
