CREEPY: Maybe it's something about ethics and morality, but Will Baude's ethics professor apparently went on a bit about ice cream:
"No! We're talking about ice cream, not morality. I know the course is called 'Ethics' and we'll get back to that in a minute, but right now we're talking about ice cream! . . . Ice cream is more relevant to morality than you might think."
Which is odd, because my freedom and moral responsibility seminar professor's favorite example of a desire was the desire to have ice cream... she'd seriously bring it up all the time (naturally, for the last day of class, we went and had ice cream).

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
