This is a very informative article. Looking forward to more of your reporting on it.

It’s a great article and I’ve read-read it a few times.

I know, it’s fabulous isn’t it. I wached Bernard Williams talking about Descartes, Martha Nussbaum on Aristotle.

HR@Soros.com. Ask for the benefit department. It’s really well organised.

Just ordered this. Looking forward to reading it.

And change all the signs at Winnipeg airport to Norway airport.

One of my lecturers said much the same. I paraphrase; I can’t get them to read the assignments never mind indoctrinate them.

I echo this as I heard it from IBM who recruit philosophers as they value their critical thinking skills.

Yes they are. And normally I don’t have any sympathy for the Royalls. But I couldn’t do what Charles has done today; smiling and nodding at Trump’s banality.

I reckon you could get a new front end from the scrap yard.

That is a great article.

Yeah I know. We’re so sorry. I don’t think that’s who we are as a country excepting for a few nasty groups and individuals.

Excellent thread.

Oh what a shame

You stuck it out longer than I did. You won’t miss it. Every time I see a comment like yours I feel vindicated in my decision.

I agree. I was taught Latin and I find it so useful when working with my Italian, French and Spanish colleagues. I can sometimes work out the verb by looking for the Latin root.

We in the Yorkshire Dales are also experiencing a sea fret. That’s Yorkshire value for money. Waste not want not.

This is such a succinct and accurate description of how the idea of religion is perverted by those purporting to promote it.

My view:
Erudite
Hard working
Caring
Strong sense of justice
Clear moral outlook

Wonderful stuff. The kids are alright

Ah ok thanks. I’ll do more homework next time

No I didn’t know that. I’ll do my homework.

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

The older Saabs (pre Vauxhall ones) are cracking cars. Built like a tank. Used to buy and sell them.

So free speech is a tradable commodity using their definition of trade? Interesting.

For a while now I have thought American exceptionalism was an idealism under strain. Trump has fractured it, so yes the rest of the world needs to realign. As you say, I hope the big brains are on the case.

Excellent thread. Thanks

I’m glad you think this too. It’s not just me then!

Is it just me, or does he look fat?😂

This is so good. We should do this.
