Comment on Videoblog: Aristotle on Happiness by Neel Burton

Thank you for your kind words, Adrian. Above my right shoulder are some empty ‘trophy’ bottles. There are also a couple of books by Aristotle in that bookcase—I should have used them as props!

Thank you, Neel, my dear friend! You are, as always, an excellent spokesman for Aristotle. That’s an important role, I think, because much of what he said is counter-intuitive – at least if you happen to grow up, as I did, in a society which seems to inculcate on its members that everything you like is ‘bad for you’. Not a sentiment that curbs your enthusiasm, I surmise. Were those bottles deliberately placed over your right shoulder?

Comment on Olympics Medal Count Reflects World Order by Adrian Cox

A most interesting post as usual but, as many in your profession have done to me over the years, I feel compelled a little to curb your enthusiasm. Of course it’s right and proper that Britain should speak with more confidence in the world and it’s true the London Olympics will have surprised many of those who thought our successes were all in the past. But our new-found self-belief must survive contact with challenges ahead of us. Those we know about include a continuance of the EZ crisis and another war in the ME. I dare say the ‘special relationship’ will have little value for us if Mr Romney wins the United States’ Presidential election, given our present wholehearted support for the incumbent.
But I agree, it used to be so British to doubt ourselves. Let’s hope that’s changed for good.

Comment on A Brief History of Wine by Neel Burton

Maybe we could even try the dilution thing—then we could just drink endlessly! Ah, the wisdom of the ancients!

Brilliant! I’m looking forward to tracking down some modern wines reminscent of their ancient ancestors.
