tcpipIt seems to me that justice and truth are related, even if rationally incommensurable in their content. I recently wrote an example of this relationship based on a short Internet debate this week; The Gaseous Truth in Syria. It was one of a few related experiences on the subject. On Sunday I gave an address to the local Unitarian church on Remembering Martin Luther King Jnr, where I outlined his religious origins, civil rights activities, political strategy, and his concern for economic justice. I am toying with the idea of promoting the latter as an Isocracy-initiated campaign. On that topic last night I went to see a presentation by Ed Dodson at Proposer Australia; Ed is visiting from the United States and is responsible for the School of Cooperative Individualism. It was a lengthy presentation, but gave me some good insights on how "geo-libertarian" opinions developed in the United States Georgist movement.
University House also hosted a burgundy wine tasting yesterday, with Victor Pepin from Bouchard Père et Fils. The presentation was absolutely great, the wines were good, and prices unsurprising, and tempting with the House discount. Still, it's hard to justify when one already has a hundred reasonable bottles or so in storage. Apropos such epicurean delights, for various reasons I've spent a couple of days this week working from home, and whilst the opportunity has presented itself I've found myself taking the opportunity to bake all sorts of fruit cakes, corn breads, tomato bread etc. It's quick to set up, the results are delicious, and it makes a nice change of pace over building HPC software.
I should also mention that RPG Review Issue 37 has been released. It has fewer but longer articles with own contribution being several reviews of appropriate games to the subject of 'Cosmology, Gods, and Religion'. I have a few more up my sleeve and will have to get on to those soon. It is also opportune to announce my retirement as editor of the 'zine after some ten years at the helm (bar one issue). The reins (and the reign) is now being passed to Andrei N., whom I'm sure will do an excellent job for an upcoming science fiction issue. In actual play this week I've managed to run a session of Eclipe Phase and play Megatraveller. Tonight at the Willsmere estate a neighbour has organised a boardgames night - I'll be bringing along Carcassonne, and tomorrow night is the first session of Exalted Journey to the Far West.
