Just stumbled upon this by accident. What a great piece! I love your last paragraph. This, “life forces us to stay in the arena, and to watch as our version of settled wisdom is transformed into ignorant prejudice by nothing more than the simple passing of time,” really resonated with me. My (barely) adult children are a constant reminder of how we are a product of our age as well as our upbringing.
Thanks Lou! And gosh yes re teenage kids. We have an ‘agree to disagree agreeably’ policy at home but I’m sure I get characterised as a fascist occasionally when they’re talking to their friends...
Ah, well that puts you in a very exclusive club! Your article was really excellent - expressed some thoughts I'd vaguely had but couldn't articulate. I'll look out for your next musings.

What a brilliant piece. Really thought-provoking. Thanks.
I was having a slightly meh sort of day and this has really cheered me up - thank you. (Also just realised I have your Philosophy for Dogs book!l)
