Michael Huemer believes that what makes for a great philosopher isn't that their arguments are sound, but that their worldview is interesting.

Very good. Great philosophers think alike.

I did try A222 a couple of years ago, but had to defer. I am now in the first cohort of DA223 students going through the next iteration of the 'intro Philosophy' module.

I am gong to be interested in the material for the Philosophy of Race discussion (this will be the post-Easter block) and materials haven't been released for the second block.

Maybe by then, I could write an article on the contentious contents of an module!?

Enjoyed your critique of the music industry... was wondering how you were going to approach the obvious challenge of "yeah, but what about every managed boy-band since ever". I had Franki Valli and the Four Seasons in my head, and Suzie Quattro - but your graphic references work just as well.

I was a little bit in love with Suzie Quattro when I was about ten ❤️

I’d love to hear about the module on race. Come back and tell me all about it!

I’m off to London today for an all day tutorial on A333. Should be fun!

Simply don't be afraid; or rather, be afraid and say what you think anyway. Problem solved.
