“Wolf’s two versions of moral sainthood are modelled on the two most influential moral philosophies of modern Western philosophy: utilitarianism (which inspires Wolf’s Loving Saint) and Kantianism (which inspires the Rational Saint). What would your life be like, Wolf asks, if you lived these moral worldviews to the max? Wolf suggests that neither worldview, if lived comprehensively, delivers a very appealing life: each, as we have seen, produces a vision of the good life that consists so thoroughly in devotion to the needs of others that there is no time for personal enjoyment of the many non-moral good things in life – no time, in fact, for a life of one’s own. You would spend your whole existence, to echo some words of Bernard Williams, as a servant of the morality system.”

Everyone I’ve ever talked to who has been poor and is not anymore has the same story of the moment they realized they weren’t poor anymore: grocery shopping.

In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus is engaging a portrait of God that is part of the biblical tradition but for many of us is simply off the table. https://t.co/DUit0Z6YeM pic.twitter.com/UPFnb23mUa

Make what you will of the Passover laws and the many other similar issues, but how we view the Bible as God’s word, revelatory, authoritative, etc., cannot be ignorant or dismissive of how this Bible actually behaves. https://t.co/262178IjcD

My critique on us,why are we in such a hurry? Do we need a cliff notes version of life? Should we eat, love, marriage, family and death faster? I like to read a book, listen to album, have a conversation, take in a ballgame. Maybe baseball is saving us https://t.co/t0Ze1Wf87k

Many thanks to @kenklippenstein for joining us to talk about the state of investigative journalism. One crucial takeaway from Ken: In the US, journalistic censorship largely comes from an economic structure that stops talented writers from taking chances. https://t.co/mxwXWBhlJK

21) More to the point, Rand’s political philosophy is itself profoundly authoritarian. It essentially advocates the supremacy of the will of the powerful individuals who reside atop the economic hierarchy. We little people should happily submit to the rule of the John Galts.

Life hack I don’t share often enough: using text-to-speech to proofread your writing.
Your eye will gloss over all sorts of mistakes (repeated “of”s, extra or missing “s”s, etc.). But your ear catches them all.
