From John Rawls' A Theory of Justice.
"What [people] want is meaningful work in free association with others, these associations regulating their relations to one another within a framework of just basic institutions. To achieve this state of things great wealth is not necessary. In fact, beyond some point it is more likely to be a positive hindrance, a meaningless distraction at best if not a temptation to indulgence and emptiness."

I'll always remember Greg as a kind and generous colleague, committed to his students and to his work. I’ll share one memory here. In September 2023, Greg and I participated in a one-day workshop organized by a colleague. (1/x)

"Dans sa décision, le juge a également souligné des incohérences dans la logique du gouvernement, suggérant que, si le ministre estime que les étudiants de l’extérieur de la province ne restent pas au Québec ... il est insensé de les obliger à maîtriser le français." www.ledevoir.com/societe/just...

Today is devoted to Berkeley, who wrote: “I do not pin my faith on the sleeve of any great man. I act not out of prejudice and prepossession. I do not adhere to any opinion because it is old one, a received one, a fashionable one, or one that I have spent much time in study and cultivation of.”
