Of course agreed that the statue of Sean Russell should be an issue, and should be removed. In the same respect, it's worth being clear on who Herzog was and the acts he was seemingly proud to stand behind.

Interesting/strange demarcation between the south and north of Ireland.

Not the first trick Bergson missed!

You know who's ironically to blame for all this though, right? Homo faber!

As an aside, didn't he have the most remarkable voice? It gets stuck in your head for days. Like treacle. Every now and then I have to revisit some of his writings, and my brain now automatically reads it in his voice. Instant mental transportation to 1950s Oxbridge surrounds.

Pub invisibilisation!!

Calling Festinger's 1956 When Prophecy Fails the canonical text supporting cognitive dissonance is misleading imo. That'd be his 1957 A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, which draws on multiple everyday examples and studies. It may also be flawed, but that's where the foundations are laid out.
