"It is because man is attached to himself that he accepts error as truth, lies as reality, violence and ugliness as beauty and justice.”

All the flag waving, anthem singing, and Canada first stuff is fine but if this groundswell of national pride and identity isn’t explicitly pluralistic, multiracial and democratic then it’s not as different from the ethnonationalist version to the south as we might like to think!

Valentine’s Day is coming up.

Some guys get flowers for the women they admire. Or dinner and a movie. Or they sing to her at karaoke.

I once wrote a whole novel for a woman who I loved.

(Which was actually very foolish of me.)

But I’ll do it again.

In the last few weeks I’ve come to wonder: how much of the #philosophy work I’ve done really was a search for reality and truth, and how much of it was a search for someone or some community who might say “Yeah, you’re right, I feel it too, I agree.”
