Please do, my wife would love this. She’s a huge fan of Iris Murdoch and sci-fi, so this would be perfect for her

How do you fence two and a half thousand hot (figuratively - literally speaking are cold) pies.

Is there some Del Boy figure flogging pies that “fell off the back of a truck”?

They’re also completely ignorant that the conductor is always slightly ahead, otherwise how would the orchestra follow? Instantaneously?

“We are under attack… by malnourished soy-drinking SJW’s… who somehow secretly infiltrated all major institutions… who also cry all the time because they don’t get their way”

Again, not judgmental, just trying to get the mindset of conservatives who make accounts and then complain. Presumably made with intent to complain.

Any books on general philosophical methodology pitched at an academic audience? I find there isn’t much discussion about the method of academic philosophy that isn’t meant to be at an introductory level #philsky
