Hello lovely Patrons! I'm nervous about today's episode - it's a bit risky, it sails a bit close to the wind at times. But it's philosophy to help you engage with the world. It's an examination of the practical and moral assumptions behind the idea of "electability," so it obviously touches on British politics a bit. I reckon this is one of the times my own politics shines through a bit and influences the content, which I don't necessarily think is a bad thing per se but isn't something I wanna do *all* the time. Anyway, hope it's useful!
