You disagree with Kenny, then, in that he thinks faith an evil:

So to the notion of faith, which I take to be the core of the new material in the article. Knowledge is justified, true and believed. This provides th...

So do you think faith a reasonable state of mind?

Curious...was it Socrates or Plato who had this penchant? Or both.

Can you point to where that actually happened here?

Noble pies? Yes, you can have a Nobel prize. The Noble piece pies?

No, I agree that Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is relevant to the OP.

Apparently Perth's lockdown worked. No new cases, lockdown finishes in a few hours.

All good stuff. Cheers. Here's a thing to keep in mind: it's the laws of particular countries that are wrong, not the clothing they command. Sometimes...
