Duolingo; a party game; a legend dies
Karin’s Duolingo streak has surpassed 1300 days. That’s longer than 3½ years. It antedates our second-to-last address change. It antedates Samuel.
I am impressed.

A party game. Guess which dour philosopher wrote the following.
It is fitting that the philosopher should have provided a “narrative explanation” of how the paper came to be written, and of its likely deficiencies.

A party game. Guess which dour philosopher wrote the following.
Ten years ago I was awarded a year-long fellowship at the Humanities Institute of the University of Michigan to pursue research into narrative and its relevance to the value of a good life. I began reading the vast literature on narrative, and by the end of the first semester I was utterly lost. I decided to work on a different project, so as to have something to show for the year. This paper is an effort to make good on the project that the Institute funded; I have no illusions of its having been worth the wait.And yet the paper (“Narrative Explanation”) was published in The Philosophical Review.

Your classic … paranoid, misanthropic detective. He thrives off conspiracy theories, and a new ex-wife of his seems to pop up every other season. Munch is a huge advocate for the mentally ill, as several of his ex-wives and family members have suffered from mental disorders.He (Munch, anyway) was a sweetheart.
