Is Diversity Intrinsically Valuable?
On the merits of thought experiments in philosophy and a reply to Eric Schwitzgebel
I wrote a new essay responding to Eric Schwitzgebel: Is Diversity Intrinsically Valuable? If you can provide me with better arguments for the existence of intrinsic values I'd be happy to be convinced.

To Hell with A Priori Metaphysics
On the Relationship Between Science and Philosophy
I wrote an essay responding to Philip Goff's recent anti-science meme. Hopefully successful in clarifying the relationship between science and philosophy, and perhaps even changing the minds of some philosophers.

Sometimes there is no real distinction here. But often philosophy is even more abstract than theoretical science.

Bought some traditional kvass with live cultures. Partly because of potential health benefits. But mostly because of nostalgia about summers in Latvia.

πͺ"Philosophers should not be able to refute moral nihilism by merely asserting that they find the position psychologically hard to adopt and potentially dangerous... We thus hope that the insult βmoral nihilistβ can be reclaimed similar to terms such as βatheistβ and βqueerβ"

Philosophy friends - I've written a case for why you should become a nihilist to create a better world. Please let me know your thoughts!
