Tell you what. There’s a great title for a paper, there: ‘Modern Moral Philosophy’.

Joseph Bowen looking perplexed.

Second we saw Joseph Bowen ask why consenting sometimes makes permissible things we otherwise have a duty to avoid, but not in other cases; a talk that had us jumping from trollies to situations where 1000 people are out to get us.

One of my excellent PhD students talking yesterday!

I can always tell how busy am I by how many random documents I have on my desktop, rather than filed away in folders. Dearest reader, there are a currently a lot of documents floating about on my desktop.

4 Doctoral Research Fellowships in Philosophy (252931) | University of Oslo Job title: 4 Doctoral Research Fellowships in Philosophy (252931), Employer: University of Oslo, Deadline: Wednesday, January 31, 2024

4 doctoral research fellowships in philosophy at the University of Oslo.

Made it to Dublin for a workshop at the Irish Jurisprudence Society tomorrow. Sometimes there’s nothing wrong with being a tourist.

That people think they can get away with this ridicule free is really something that needs answering for.

I hope Cameron has some sweet new referendums to drop on us. It has been ages since his last big hit took the UK by storm.

This dog is too much.

So like, it doesn’t cut through it, but makes a clean crack? Jesus, I need to stop thinking about cracking eggs, now…

One of those things when I’m not exactly sure how I do it, but I think I use the back of my chef’s knife…

For things like poached or fried eggs, I always break them into bowls first, so that I don’t start rushing. Breaking them straight into pans is when I find I break the yolks most!

More helpfully, try making the crack in the egg with a knife rather than, e.g., the side of a bowl. You want to apply as little pressure as you can.l to make the crack and get through the membrane, then pull the two halves apart?

Breaking the yolks.

Teaching the ethics of self-defence is one of the few occasions I get to scribble lots on the whiteboard in an overly enthusiastic way!
