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. 2008-01-13T09:25:04ZUntitled entry permalink

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

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. 2008-01-13T08:54:47ZUntitled entry permalink

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . 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.
