My Pettit-Lovett-Roberts-(Tony)Smith-Brenner-Shaikh synthesis has been published: doi.org/10.1057/s412...

In a sense it is a reply to this meme (twitter.com/JoshEakle/st...). The connoisseur of haute culture will recognize that the title is also a reference to a Rick and Morty meme.

Never thought that writing the introduction to your PhD dissertation would be the most fun part. It allows you to go back to the intuitions that are ultimately behind the project. It is only at the end by going through convoluted discussions that you are able to articulate these intuitions clearly.

I keep asking the older fellows of Kings who influenced this or that of Williams’s ideas and their answer is always no one. He only ever was counter-influenced (by his teacher RM Hare for example). This new book puts Alasdair MacIntyre is a major inspiration, good to know. #philsky #ethics

Every time
The image is a comic strip titled "FOCUS" from "MonkeyUser.com." It depicts four panels showing a character at a computer: 1. First panel: The character is focused, with an abstract representation of a thought process or a problem-solving pathway above their head. 2. Second panel: The thought process expands, indicating deep concentration and problem-solving. 3. Third panel: Another character interrupts, asking, "HEY! DO YOU HAVE 1 SEC?" causing the thought process to disappear with a "POOF" and the focused character responds with "NEVERMIND." 4. Fourth panel: The initially focused character is now disoriented, floating in a space with random thoughts and items, wondering "WHAT WAS I DOING?" The comic humorously illustrates how an interruption can completely disrupt someone's concentration and thought process.
