Kort film om fyra nyare studier på sötningsmedel.

Beautiful typo in the book description for ”The End of Morality: Taking Moral Abolitionism Seriously” on Goodreads.

Loved this! 👍

One note, though, I think you meant to write ”Alex” instead of ”Sam” in this sentence: ”It is morally permissible to burn Sam to cinders”.

Thinking about writing a book review on one of my latest readings. Which would be more interesting: Plantinga’s ”God, Freedom, and Evil” (philosophy of religion), a (Swedish) textbook on metaethics (”Grundbok i metaetik”) or Luhrmann’s ”How God Becomes Real” (anthropology/psychology of religion)?
