What song recommendations do you have for *sloth*, either as laziness or more traditionally as being unwilling to do the work needed to maintain a loving relationship with someone?

Tomorrow in my Virtue and Character class we are focusing on Humility, Vainglory, and Pride. Need song recommendations to play before class starts.

The default is "You're So Vain". But students tend to not know it. So bonus points for a song that is a better fit *and* one students today will know.

Song recommendations!

I'm teaching my virtue/character class, and I'm back for more recommendations! I play a song in class for the virtues and vices we cover in the next month. So, to start us off, what would you recommend for:

Envy

Bonus points if the students will actually know the song.

Sem. 1: What is Character? Re-examining the Conceptual Foundations of Character and Virtue

Sem. 2: Character under Pressure: From Current Foundational and Empirical Challenges to Reconstructive Responses

"Advice to Christian Philosophers, Forty Years Later"

Very excited to share that my paper with five awesome collaborators has just come out open access in Faith and Philosophy. We extend Plantinga's famous advice beyond his focus on research in philosophy.

Einstein is an Al with a computer. He logs into Canvas every day, watches lectures, reads essays, writes papers, participates in discussions, and submits your homework — automatically.

There are many interesting and challenging questions about AI and education, but what to do about a student who makes use of this sort of service is really not one of them.

I’m excited for this. Every book I’ve ready by Miller has been terrific and given me a lot of valuable ideas to think about.

Back from a wonderful visit to Flagler College to deliver the Kenan Lecture, which drew on material from my forthcoming book on honesty. Didn't make it to the alligator farm, but did get to hang out with the great Justin Capes!
