Rebuilding again. Suggestions welcomed.

Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
My suggestion, aside from the link I gave you about prepping manatee meat, is to leave off Feser and Murphy. But no-one takes good advice!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I think you would enjoy, in a weird way, Jerry Coyne's blog WhyEvolutionIsTrue. It's a mix of good science, dreadful philosophy, grotesquely partisan politics, and cats. I think you'd be .... piqued.

ReplyDeleteI recommend Scott Alexander's blog Slate Star Codex. He has lots of insightful posts about politics, philosophy, and other topics. And I think you'd agree with him on a lot. (I agree with him on fewer things than you probably do, but I find still his posts useful to think about at the very least.)
ReplyDeleteSeconded.
DeleteHere's a good programming project too: a Scott Alexander compressor. Badly needed.
