Susan Jacoby on Mother Teresa: "In a reverential and sanctimonious cover story in last week's issue of Time magazine, psychonanalysts and priests are quoted. Guess what? Both the shrinks and the reverends think that Teresa is even holier because of her overwhelming doubts... The agreement of priests and psychoanalysts is not, after all, very surprising. Both Freudian psychoanalysis and Roman Catholicisms are faiths whose central tenets have nothing to do with evidence." The complexity of the human mind has become a great device for theological sophistry, and the discussion over Teresa is a perfect example of such rhapsodic bullshit. 2007-09-03T22:20:02Z

Unit Testing XSLT
Jeni has written some code to do XSLT unit testing. Nice.
I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Python and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web. I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.
I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
