My ‘very potted history’ of #Scotland since the Big Bang is below, in four screen shots. The (sometimes) competing claims of Scotland as a distinct nation and as an integral part of the UK are not really historical in nature, but the context helps. More: jonathanrowson.substack.com/p/reflections-…

“And what is good, Phaedrus, And what is not good— Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?” ― Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values Does anyone know if that exact quotation lies in Plato’s Phaedrus or if it is Pirsig’s alone?

@KennyFarq It sounds reasonable when you put it that way, Kenny. The initial tweet implied that nationalism is conceptually hollow, a kind of amoral blank slate. I don’t think it’s true. One paragraph from a recent reflection below(which also supports your point). jonathanrowson.substack.com/p/reflections-…

The second season of #whitelotus lasts about seven hours, so be sure to start watching it no later than 4pm if you want to get to bed at a reasonable time. It’s really very good.

@KennyFarq I can’t tell to what extent you’re serious. To many people, fraternity is just as important as liberty and equality. It’s about in-group solidarity and friendship in common endeavour. I think it’s a solid challenge to your claim that nationalism has no inherent values.

@KennyFarq You initially said intrinsic rather than distinctive. I’m saying fraternity might be intrinsic to nationalism, not distinctive to it. (Nationalism has just as much variety and theoretical richness as liberalism, socialism, conservatism etc.)

@EliteMindSports @PHChess If the answer is what I think it is, it’s really sweet. 1.0-0-0! It takes a while to realise that Black can hardly move. 1…Rf8 (only move?) 2.Kb1! Rfg8 (only move; Rhg8 either same or Rh1) 3.Ka1! Rf8 (only move?) 4. Rb1! and wins. (?)
