Sam (5-yr-old): "If I chew my fingernails will it hurt my wee-wee?"
Me: "No! (?!?!?)"
Sam: "Will it make it fall off?"
Me: "NO! WHY would you THINK that?!?"
Sam: "Well, that's what my cousins told me."

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')
