About | No one of consequence. A reader, a snapper-up of unconsidered trifles. Trying to always ask, with respect to all my beliefs about matters of fact, the question, 'What evidence would make you change your mind?' |

Favourite philosophers | When I was young, I enjoyed reading Bertrand Russell. |
Favourite quotations |
You can get a lot further in life with a kind word, and a gun, than you can with a kind word alone. Dulce bellum, inexpertis. The historic ascent of humanity, taken as a whole, may be summarised as a succession of victories of consciousness over blind forces – in nature, in society, in man himself. People do not love missionaries with bayonets. |
