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.

Nothing says the ‘special relationship’ is over like this picture of Donald Trump and Liz Truss | Zoe Williams It’s awkward, nobody seems to know what is going on, and the president’s thumb is at half-mast. It’s almost a metaphor for diplomatic relations between the US and the UK, writes Zoe Williams

He has no idea who she is and she probably paid him for the photo opportunity.
It’s a moment that’s devoid of any dignity.

Now home for that last mince pie....

FINANCIAL TIMES I was amused - and saddened - to read the latest instalment of the Brexiters' excuses for the poor performance over recent years of the UK economy and the UK's politics. In "Implementation of Brexit became a business fiasco" (Markets Insight, December 19), Paul Marshall acknowledges the cost of the UK's decision to leave the EU. But rather than acknowledge that his analysis was wrong - cutting ties with your biggest trading partner is never a good idea - Marshall blames bad implementation, and the fact that the EU didn't cut the UK some slack.

Implementation of Brexit by the UK has indeed been poor, but that's a direct consequence of the political crisis that everyone should have expected following such a major decision on the back of one simple 52/48 referendum vote at the conclusion of a mind-bogglingly uninformed debate by both sides. That includes the Brexiters' naive insistence that the EU would bend to UK demands and grant it all sorts of privileges not enjoyed by others. So, the roughly 8 per cent of GDP loss in UK output since the Brexit decision in 2016 is easily explained by three perfectly predictable factors: it was a bad economic decision; it has split UK society politically; and the EU27 has moved on.

It's time for those who led the UK down this disastrous path to stand up and acknowledge their wrong analysis and naive understanding of Europe. Until that happens, how can one even hope that the UK will begin to heal?

Letter to the FT that stingingly sums up Brexit and the shit creek we now find ourselves in.
A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.

Ropeworks?

A letter circulating online calls on Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, to resign and is said to come from someone named Peter Singer. To be clear: if such a letter exists, it is not from me, and I do not support any call for the Prime Minister to resign.

Ah..the classic premier snare turned into a timbale trick.... nice!

Would you not at least ask which style of pizza?

Ish....

That's a half marathon!

Wait until Trump finds out what Jonathan Meades, correctly, said about him on the BBC some years back.

It is magnificent
