Great book. I’ve been awaiting a follow up - any chance?

The books are also great!

I am trying to avoid the labels ‘left’ and ‘right’ and, instead, talk about behaviours and values. It helps to keep me sane, anyway!

I was impressed while in Chile a few years ago when they were considering constitutional change that, a) they were doing so and, b) there were ordinary people on street corners handing out pamphlets encouraging reflection about the underpinning values of any new constitution.

Suggests several interesting questions.
What is the best mechanism to transfer wisdom down the generations?
As context falls away how does a piece of wisdom maintain its significance?
Would any repository of accumulated wisdom simply be a natural target?
I think we need a symposium on this!

Did she suggest posting this?

Ho ho

Russell summed it up: ‘The man (sic) who has no tincture of philosophy goes through life imprisoned in the prejudices derived from common sense.’

Ah - thanks.

It’s behind a paywall.

‘10 billion rings’ and still going!

Good news for us as well as for you.

Only got round to reading this in the last few years, inexplicably. Loved it!

Memorable read. But unremittingly depressing.

But how do I get over the fact that I only give books that matter to me as presents now, then I am upset when they aren’t read?
