Ophelia Benson on the hand-wringing on the Women's Studies mailing list over 'ethnocentrist, Western' feminists: So, not for the first time, I learned that it is simply not possible to satirize this kind of thing adequately, because it's always more fatuous and delusional and above all self-flattering than one can imagine in advance. 2008-01-13T09:25:04Z

Just in case you didn't know, Fox News lies through it's teeth. 2008-01-13T08:56:22Z

David Bernstein at the Volokh Conspiracy has an amusing conspiracy theory that has been published by one branch of the U.S. libertarian movement (the Mises Institute) accusing another libertarian think-tank (the Cato Institute) of setting up the current anti-Ron Paul story in The New Republic. The whole thing is quite barmy, of course, and reminds me of the dispute between the Judean People's Front and the People's Front of Judea. 2008-01-13T08:54:47Z

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.
