After another 'AI Detected' flag, I resorted to Gemini to lay it out.

Gemini produced an entire blog post. It did offer me tips to dumb down my writing, but I declined. I also had NotebookLM create a podcast, cuz that's how I roll.

Shifting from Parcifal to Parfit, I'm debating the value of moral maths that seem to be an outgrowth of the attempt to couch everything as utility and economics.

PARUTION : « Les raisons et les personnes » de Derek Parfit !
Première traduction française de l’œuvre majeure du « Kant du XXe siècle ». Grâce à une argumentation tout autant inventive que minutieuse, le philosophe met en question nombre de nos idées sur la rationalité, l’éthique ou bien encore la nature des personnes et de nos obligations envers les générations futures.

Was morality objective? This question was the focus of philosopher Derek Parfit's work. In this Ideas article, Parfit biographer Dave Edmonds explores how it affected Parfit during his lifetime. https://princeton.press/lrgil4

The latest *Very Bad Wizards* episode is on Parfit's essay on Personal Identity. It's always a goodun when Dave and Tamler clash because of D's more rationalist inclinations and T's resistance to bow to the Analytic phil-bros.

It made me miss the early days where they would really go at it

It also has this pearl which reads great out of context "if they sit and think about it, they'd be like, oh shit, it is a holocaust of #StarTrek characters" 😆
