It's not because I wouldn't. And it’s not because I shouldn't. And, baby, you should know, it's not because I couldn't. It's only because I'm the laziest girl in town.
- On AI and moral expertise. The only kind of moral expert worth bothering with is someone who excels at the business of being a human being living a human life. And only a human being can be good at being a human being.
- "Both Lenman’s and Bramble’s contributions to the book are excellent: thought-provoking, innovative and engaging. In light of these virtues, I highly recommend the book! Very nice review by Olle Blomberg. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
- Freedom of speech is not the same as freedom from consequences. That is absolutely true. Something else that is true is that if that is your favourite saying about freedom of speech, it's a very safe bet that freedom of speech is not a thing you really give a toss about.

- 微雨夜行 漠漠秋云起 稍稍夜寒生 但觉衣裳湿 无点亦无声 白居易 Night Stroll in a Fine Rain Still autumn night, high cloud. It is a little cold now. My clothes are getting wet. The falling rain makes no sound. Bai Juyi
- 凉州詞 葡萄美酒夜光杯， 欲飲琵琶馬上催。 醉臥沙場君莫笑， 古來征戰幾人回？ 王翰 A Song of Liangzhou The wine cups sparkle in the night. Bring more! The luteplayer sits on horseback urging us on. Don’t mock us lying on the sandy ground drunk. How many soldiers ever make it home? Wang Han
- 春曉 春眠不覺曉， 處處聞啼鳥。 夜來風雨聲， 花落知多少。 孟浩然 Spring Daybreak I was asleep and missed the spring sunrise, This morning full of the singing of birds. The night was loud with wind and rain. The storm Left who can say how many broken flowers. Meng Haoran
