LINK: I notice that Jonathan Ichikawa has a blog. He was a year older than me at the evangelical church I used to go to. I notice that he, like me, does the philosophy thing. I notice that, unlike me, he has become a utilitarian, and a fairly militant one at that. That's probably why he's at Brown as a grad student, and not Michigan.* But he is a Buffy fan, and that will cover a multitude of sins, as they say.
*Nick envisions some God-dispensed karmic justice where everyone who is not a deontologist has to make due with something slightly less than what would make them most happy. It occurs to me that this is a fine dantean contrapasso, in its own way.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
