I was thinking of Hume too.

This system says, if you have joint goal G, then you should X.  That is the only way to be prescriptive – to say you ought to do something – that doesn’t violate the fact/value distinction.

@Simon – Are you attempting to get an ought from an is?

Talk of a Trump Dictatorship Charges the American Political Debate. (Today’s NYT)

Prince Eric and Princess Ivanka.

Oh my God! What a fabulous room! Are all these your guitars?

I did a supervised IQ test in 1990 and did another one in 2020 with the same organization. I scored one extra point the second time but took about 10 minutes longer to complete it.

@Robert – In my head I have Black Francis and Trent Reznor in the same space. Not all the time but I think their creativity and vocal techniques overlap. You don’t get them unless you spend the time listening closely to them. You also have to be a very good musician and understand more than just the rudiments of music to play music like that.

Anyone think that Gretchen Whitmer might be a better prospect than Biden? I think abortion rights will be at the forefront of the campaign and she has already successfully run in Michigan on it.

Here is a movie that gets to the true message of our savior.

I asked him “Will I slaughter a goat as an offering for you?” He replied “Could you offer up some carrots instead as I am off the fatty foods for a while”. “No problem, I will boil them in holy water”.

Have a great week and avoid fake news by not going to church.

Last week I was speaking with a friend in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine but we quickly ended the call when the air raid sirens started. Later he told me that the Russians had damaged the houses of his neighbors (no one died this time). In their ongoing efforts to remove all ‘the Nazis’ from Ukraine, the Russians are using drones provided by the Isl…[Read more]
