If you’re anything like me, you mostly read blogs through RSS feeds, and maybe Twitter links when they are posted. This means you sometimes miss slow developing comments threads. If so, you may not have seen the very interesting “thread”:http://tar.weatherson.org/2010/08/20/philosophy-in-the-new-york-times/ that developed on “the previous post here”:http://tar.weatherson.org/2010/08/20/philosophy-in-the-new-york-times/. So this is just a small post to let you know that thread exists.

I have a number of thoughts on points arising out of that thread, but in the interests of being orderly, and of self-promotion, I’ll post them to new entries on the blog. (Comments are turned off here because you can always post on the previous thread.)
