My blog posts at RBC
I've resisted the temptation to touch these up. Obviously they are of very unequal quality, and a few I regret, but overall I don't. I've starred some I like: art, philosophising and climate are over-represented here. The posts are all on the main RBC archive. However, many early comment threads were lost there when the site software was changed in 2013. Some, but not all, survive here from copies I saved at the time. I have corrected the few links to papers on my own website, but not attempted to correct general linkrot.
