"The free will response to theodicy is also bankrupt. Lewis says he can't imagine a world in which free beings don't go astray. And he's a fiction author! Therefore, I can only suppose that he didn't really try to imagine such a world but rather simply wrote it off. God could have made it much easier to believe in him. An omnipotent god would be aware, although Lewis wasn't, of behavioural nudging." Jul 22, 2025 12:12AM

“A man’s health can be judged by which he takes two at a time—pills or stairs. —Joan Welsh”

Roger Scruton
“It is not enough to be nice; you have to be good. We are attracted by nice people; but only on the assumption that their niceness is a sign of goodness.”
Roger Scruton

Richard P. Feynman
“Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.”
Richard P. Feynman

Paul Valéry
“Interruption, incoherence, surprise are the ordinary conditions of our life. They have even become real needs for many people, whose minds are no longer fed by anything but sudden changes and constantly renewed stimuli. We can no longer bear anything that lasts. We no longer know how to make boredom bear fruit. So the whole question comes down to this: can the human mind master what the human mind has made?”
Paul Valéry
