October 29th, 2009 Daniel Fincke Last night (or, more technically, “this morning) I posted a Non-Stamp Collector advertisement and as a bonus threw in a video in which he demonstrates the implausibility of people’s claims to have “personal relationships with Jesus” by making the point that people claiming to “know Jesus” constantly contradict each other about exactly what this Jesus [...]

October 26th, 2009 Daniel Fincke A week ago, I wrote a brief primer post explaining John Rawls’s maximin principle. In that post I explained that Rawls conceives of justice as being quintessentially concerned with fairness. In order to determine what is maximally fair politically we must imagine ourselves behind a veil of ignorance behind which we do not know what [...]

She & Him: “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here”

October 25th, 2009 Daniel Fincke Sendai Anonymous pointed me to a really interesting sociological study by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva which attempts to shed light on the various contortions that “color blind” racists go through in an incoherent attempt to evade their racism while expressing their views.
