I am always delightfully surprised to see a post from a reader of my book! Thanks Paul and all the readers - past, present, and future. I hope it inspires conversation about how Ostrom's ideas can be applied to today's challenges.

During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes.
Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?

’True curiosity is serious, not idle, and proper knowledge is almost always hard won. The real spirit of the autodidact is one of awed humility: other people know much more than me; catching up is going to be hard work.’ Fine article on self-education by James Marriott.

I think my most nineteenth century belief is that we should all take our free time much more seriously. I wrote this on the virtues of self-education and against wasting time on screens

True knowledge is worth a million TikToks
In an age of distraction it’s no wonder non-fiction book sales are down but self-education always necessitates hard work

Not quite as funny as "Rawls is Jesus", but here's a note from Norman Malcolm to Rawls congratulating him on "The Book" and apologizing for trying, in 1947, to dissuade him from writing a dissertation in moral philosophy. "How fortunate that you were stubborn!"
Letter on Cornell University Philosophy Dept stationery: Dear Jack: I am very appreciative of your sending me a copy of The Book. I recall vividly my attempt in 1947 to dissuade you from writing a dissertation in moral philosophy. How fortunate that you were stubborn! Many congratulations to you and Mardy; and many thanks. Yours, Norman
