Our cheap Panasonic DVD player seems to be no longer streaming Netflix for some reason. But we hadn't tried it for a few days (until I did just now). My 5-year-old son, Samuel, and I got into a brief discussion about it, since he wanted to watch some shoot-'em-up Star Wars cartoon.
Me: Is the DVD player still not playing Netflix?
Sam: No, it's not playing Netflix. We'll have to use the Wii.
Me: When was the last time you guys tried it?
Sam: I don't know.
Me: Then how do you know it still isn't working?
Sam: Well, I don't knooooow it's still not working. I just....I just....I'm thinking that it's still not working.
(Aside: Maybe Hume and Descartes were both on to something.)

Unlike my ancient predecessor, this Tullius hasn't had his hands chopped off. With hands attached I offer my thoughts on philosophy, religion, politics, and whatever else I find worth mentioning. I'm conservative religiously and politically (with libertarian leanings). I value reason and freedom but also traditions and "Oldthink." I relish being on the wrong side of history when history is wrong--part of a philosopher's job is to be unpopular. (Views given here may not represent my employers')
