This is the same quality decision making that necessitated the clip-on lanes on the side of the Auckland Harbour Bridge a mere decade after it opened - save a dollar now, have to spend $5 tomorrow

This reminds me of Engels at Marx's funeral: "Just as Darwin discovered the law of development of organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of development of human history"!

Yes, and on further inspection it seems clear that the God he rejected was the anthropomorphic God of post-Enlightenment Christianity.

Let us be clear here. This is The President of the United States, Donald John Trump, posting a video on social media advocating for the ethnic cleansing of more than 1.8 million Palestinians in order to build a resort in Gaza called, "Trump Gaza."

The dominant view at the time was that scientific explanation involves subsuming phenomena under invariant laws of nature. D tried to make that project work, but he couldn’t, and he had to build a radically different conception of what explanation looks like. Sounds like #philsci to me.

Wow, I don't think I have heard Hosking as riled up as this before. And riled up for good reason. Whatever Luxon was saying to himself to justify that level of bull-headedness, he did an absolutely atrocious job of explaining that out loud.

It interests me that—although Darwin was a philosopher of science of the first rank—one of his favorite put-downs was to suggest that someone else was engaged in philosophy, or worse, “metaphysics.” He would purport not to have the temperament for such abstruse speculations.

I agree re doorknocking proselytisers in general. This is however a dangerous cult.
