  1. @colincaret You agree with the line of reasoning?
  2. @colincaret @jichikawa I was thinking of "V is hard; so I'll eat meat today; so I'm an meat-eater. So no reason for me ever to avoid meat."
  3. @colincaret But that needn't mean we should convince people to become full-on vegetarians.
  4. @colincaret The way I think about it is that for environmental reasons we should convince people to become more veggie than they are now.
  5. @colincaret by which I mean stopping entirely
  6. @colincaret I took the change point to be that the process of becoming veggie need not be a matter of stopping eating meat immediately.
  7. @colincaret The point I like is that vegetarianism need not be an all-or-nothing conviction. Don't understand the straw man?
  8. From here: http://tinyurl.com/yzuebzo (HT: @jichikawa)
  9. "Change is almost always cast as an absolute. You are a vegetarian or you are not. It's a strange formulation, and it's distracting."
  10. @craigdbaker I guess it's not really a hymn setting. You have to see it it context in the film, really (which I recommend doing)
  11. This hymn-setting from Atonement is beautiful: http://bit.ly/2zDQbi
  12. RT @bengoldacre: KILL!! THEM!!! RT @sjrw: London Tonight just misspelled name strap of one of war dead! Darren Chant became Darrebn Chant.
  13. "This is madness. There may be a method to such madness, but madness it remains."
  14. We're discussing Schaffer's 'On What Grounds What' at PG reading group this afternoon. Should be fun.
  15. I think Jonathan Schaffer is an excellent writer.
  16. Opening pdfs in Chrome: the pdf window closes when you close the tab it came from. This is annoying.
  17. Marking first-year essays on utilitarianism and (crude) moral relativism
  18. @jichikawa Did Mallon later weaken his claim about x-phi and empirical predictions?
  19. For a while I've been convinced that I can't work well in the evenings. Apparently that's false.
  20. The Victoria is selling a drink called Ginger Bear. I feel like I am back in Norfolk.
