Perry de Havilland at Samizdata has a great post about the dispute between rap star Will Smith and the Jewish Defence League over Smith's comments on morality - which are completely reasonable. What a bunch of idiots. 2007-12-25T20:46:20Z
Ron Paul may be the least offensively stupid of the Republican candidates, but, this video shows that hanging out with the other Republican nominees must have warped Dr. Paul's mind. Sorry, but if you are a doctor and you don't believe in evolution, that's fucking insane! Evolution is a sanity litmus test, and Ron Paul has failed that litmus test. 2007-12-25T20:38:46Z

Wellington Grey -- Articles -- A physics teacher begs for his subject back: An open letter to the AQA board and the UK Department for Education
I wonder whether other subjects are mangled as badly by the British state education system as physics seems to be.

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.
I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.
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. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
