Me: "Of course it's real. Everything is real."
![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')

Update on my Life
During the last couple weeks I've been working full-time on the house we just bought. I moved a junction box in the living room ceiling today to a far wall, textured the ceiling above the stairs, and tore out flooring among other things.
Last night I watched "The Conjuring." I was surprised by (1) how terrifying it was and (2) how true it stayed--for Hollywood--to a basically Christian message when it easily could have diverged. In fact, there was some (a little) good theology. But it's a horror movie. SCARY. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.
Tomorrow I have to figure out what to say to 200 or so high school students in Camden, AR. I'm to give them some soul-searching atheist arguments. That I can do. Giving them some soul-saving arguments in the short time allotted thereafter will be the trick.
Now I have to wrestle two boys pulling at my sleeves. Pretty sure I'm going to win if endurance is not a factor.
