		<title>Dissertation comments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Throwing caution to the wind, I&#8217;ve decided to publish selected markers&#8217; comments on the MSc dissertation. I&#8217;m striving for a degree of balance, here, but I&#8217;m not claiming to have achieved it. There were two markers, who wrote about 3.5 sides of A4 paper between them. (&#8220;Selected&#8221; in the first sentence applies to the comments, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dissertation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a complete turn-around from The Last Post (that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s called), I&#8217;m working on an abstract for The Difference that Makes a Difference conference. (I sometimes think that the more decisively I make up my mind about something, the better the reasons I&#8217;ll soon find for rethinking the decision.) Anyway, sliding back into academic [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Last Post (maybe)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently read William Gibson&#8217;s Zero History, and it convinced me of the need to do some kinds of creative work privately, for integrity, among other reasons. So, while I will be working along the lines indicated in the previous post, I won&#8217;t be blogging about either the writing process or the ideas. I might [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feeling my way forward</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was slightly shocked to realise that it&#8217;s been nearly ten months since my last post. I suppose I got out of the habit while working on my MSc dissertation. The eventual submission date was 22nd December, and since then I&#8217;ve been trying to decide what to do next. For a number of reasons&#8212;mainly the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Naked Truth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking about what I now see as dressing this up: looking for the serious angle, preferably philosophical, but if not then sociological or whatever&#8212;and it does have that sort of potential, but I don&#8217;t have time to get into that sort of thing now&#8212;I have to write 20k words over the next couple [...]]]></description>

		<title>A movie with its heart in the right place, but&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;to be honest I haven&#8217;t seen Being In The World yet (it doesn&#8217;t seem to have been released), so what follows is based on the website, but there are enough trailers, clips and text there to get me thinking. Being In The World is a new movie by Tao Ruspoli, and, as is common these [...]]]></description>

		<title>The brights, mysticism and me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently joined the brights. What&#8217;s a bright? A bright is a person who has a naturalistic worldview A bright&#8217;s worldview is free of supernatural and mystical elements The ethics and actions of a bright are based on a naturalistic worldview That&#8217;s from the website&#8217;s home page. Naturalism is &#8220;the doctrine that the world can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Opposite extremes in psychotherapy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve both studied and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapy (&#8220;talking therapy&#8221;, like psychoanalysis) so I&#8217;m very interested in the fact that it&#8217;s gaining a good evidence base at last. Similarly, having experienced psychedelic drugs, I was interested to read that they are again being considered for therapeutic use. (This is the first time that I&#8217;ve publicly owned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meta-philosophy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading up on information, again (John Collier&#8217;s Intrinsic Information), which has nothing to do with what I&#8217;m supposed to be studying, and, probably as a consequence, thinking deep thoughts about my future in philosophy, and whether I really want to do a PhD (and if not, whether I still have reason to complete [...]]]></description>
