Hope you can still pay attention. "Fortunately, even though I think the blade of Hume's guillotine is inescapably sharp in the philosophical world, I don't think it has the power to sever much in the real world. Because, thanks to some combination of evolutionary biology and social conditioning, I do enjoy being kind, and I do want to reduce other people's suffering -- and I would want to do those things even without a rational justification for why that's 'moral.' And I believe most people would feel the same way." (<a>Rationally Speaking: Hume's Guillotine</a>.) @OneSTDV

EXCEPT when you want to get into their pants? Well, thank you for making it clear exactly why its relevant, and important. On a completely different note- conference sounds awesome! Wish I was in the right hemisphere ;) So, OneSTDV, you think it’s entirely irrelevant that women are the majority of keynote speakers at this conference… EXCEPT when you want to get into their pants?
