![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')

Krauthammer Interview
Here is a very interesting interview of Democrat-turned-Republican, Charles Krauthammer; if only there were more journalists like Krauthammer. If only. He has lived an interesting life. One of the reasons I respect his opinions is because he has studied political philosophy and economics (in the interview we learn that he was very much influenced by John Stuart Mill), and though confined to a wheelchair for much of his life, he has risen to prominence in journalism--this after being a psychiatrist for numerous years discovering a variant of manic depressive disorder.
