From the United Church of Christ:
Okay, let's do it.
You go first.
![Tullius est [et Tullius non est Cicero]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwDG4xhsMn9o9J6nFVbJuaWEgUYVbxr7B9gbOXGZ3gwOu55lJg3q0Ev-z3MhLy29603_fkvvngkYmsTvRd4BATcVzZvVOhgkPSy-GIAuaFE0sCVBc_zcTW_d2mKKeCWhMxsZhAPyqXzymO/s1600/cicero-right-1024x603.jpg)
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')
It that weren't so funny, it would be truly chilling.
ReplyDeleteBut here's the good news: using these ridiculous imperatives as a personal check-list, my racism score is actually quite low. On points 1, 4, 5, 6, and 9, I am irreproachable. For example, I take up zero space at anti-racism dialogues and protests; and I have never invited "people of colour" to the table for the sake of diversity.
That's a far better score than some self-hating deluded white middle class grievance-monger, isn't it?
Thanks for cheering me up!
Any time.
