Coming soon: this Autumn's series of "London Lectures" of the Royal Institute of Philosophy. Since they're online you don't even have to go to London.

Reading Ian Hacking this morning, always so rewarding plus a catchy quote per paragraph. ‘The known may overpower the knowers.’ Impostor syndrome as a looping kind? How/why do we self-diagnose?

This is going to be a great project - congratulations Alex and Ben!
