…and sowing the seeds: Reply to Blake with draft excerpts from “The Second Moment”.
Reply to Terrence Blake’s recent post over at Agent Swarm: As usual Terrence you pegged it. It’s strange how I view it and actually I can totally agree with you and yet somehow there’s something that I’m not agreeing with and really that has to do with my work, The strange situation that I find…

Redrawing the Partition Whereby Philosophical Discourse Leads to Particular Decisions of Route.
It is interesting to me the various places and occasions that move us to consider things and their lighting. Here is one of those occasions: NPR: Gender and Willingness to Compete.
