About

I am unsure about everything I say.

political economy, theology, philosophy, and interweb miscellany, ethics, peacemaking, liberation and/or incredulity toward metanarratives, comedy, music, games, food and beverages; life as a chronic expatriate in working-class Belfast, currently an undergrad in Politics, Philosophy and Economics.

A post/quote does not equal approval or agreement. All my views are temporary and will be embarrassing in a year or so.

1. Exams: Or How I Learned to Stop Properly Developing Arguments and Just Write Quickly.

   Last one of the semester done. Finally.

   I spent some hours speedwriting today about (1) why Nozick’s entitlement theory of justice is (logical, methodological, ontological) hogwash and (2) how/why development discourses can/should be transcended. This was really painful -

   • for my hand
   • for my sense of wanting to engage well with the issues.

   (Teh issues!!!) Exams are such a terrible methods of assessment for humanities degrees.

   Speaking of degrees: I’m halfway done.
