Random interesting fact (one in an intermittent series)
Tuesday, August 19, 2008 at 07:05AM
Out of the five Australians who were chosen as nominating editors of this year’s Philosophers’ Annual, four are from The University of Melbourne. The lucky 4 are Hazen, Schroeter (François), Schroeter (Laura), and Restall. (The other Australian is David Chalmers.)
4 out of 28 is a good strike rate (that’s 1 in 7, if you’re too lazy to do the mental arithmetic). This is a teensy bit higher than the representation of University of Melbourne Philosophers in the Whole Wide World.

Thought
In Ersilia, to establish the links underlying the city life, people stretch strings across the corners of the houses, white or black or gray or black-and-white according to whether they stand for a relationship of blood, trade, authority, agency. When the strings are so many that one cannot pass through them any longer, people leave. The houses are dismantled; only the strings and their supports remain.
