I don't think I have a high IQ (I'm terrible at test-taking), and, judging by the behaviour of folk who claim to have one, I wouldn't want one.

I really hope everything beautiful and good is preserved in some Platonic realm of Forms, just in case Trump destroys all the copies.

As an undeserved break from grading, I made a starter pack. I've no doubt made lots of mistakes, and I hope you'll help me correct them. But I also hope it's helpful to some people who are interested in ancient Greek philosophy.

I am really excited my piece on sprezzatura and the aesthetic of rhetorical (aka Baroque) music is coming out in The Philosopher, a magazine that's been around since 1923! And look at the list of other contributors. So excited that The Philosopher took my article. It'll be out soon.
