My paper, "Hume on the Prospects for a Scientific Psychology," was accepted by the Journal for the History of the Behavioral Sciences, which is nice. It's on section 1 of the first Enquiry, both as a manifesto for a future science and as a guide to the rest of the Enquiry philpapers.org/rec/JACHOT-4

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Isn't it pretty to think so?

My thinking has been warped by working on Locke who was perhaps involved in a plot to kill Charles II
I guess I thought he was unpopular for taking bribes from the French and converting to Catholicism on his deathbed, but maybe he wasn't.
It's weird that they tried Charles again, isn't it?

An example of how impacts of interventions can differ at individual and population levels, and are conditional on other events. Given a car hits you, the helmet helps. But mandating helmets could lower the # of bikes on the road & thus might increase the chance of getting hit in the first place.

The Utah Historical Society just produced a new, excellent map of "The Peoples of North America in 1776." Great resource for anyone teaching, writing, presenting about Native peoples as part of their 250th work. america250.utah.gov/power-of-pla...
I suppose it's tedious for me to argue about whether or not something is weird, but it's worth noting that Poincaré would've found it weird. Here's him talking about Hilbert's program, from 1913. Wonder what he would've thought of today's "logic piano" !
No, that was a was a first year seminar on history of philosophy taught by Keith Donnellan. The undergraduate class on Stuart England (taught by Paul Seaver, I think) turned out to be more useful that I had any right to expect.
