The Hole Argument at the SEP. Arguably one of the most important more philosophical arguments made in physics. At least as important as Bell's Inequalities yet surprisingly far less known.
#Philosophical interpretations of E = mc^2 at the SEP. I don't think most people realize it's a deeper question than it appears.
#Interesting review of Connor Boyack's Latter-day Liberty, an attempt to argue for libertarianism from a Mormon perspective. (Part 2 is here)
#Levi has a nice post on thinking the absolute. "...religion is symptomatic of the speculative project of metaphysics. Religion is what comes forth to supplement metaphysics when metaphysics sets existence to the side."
#A nice aggregator of blogs dealing with OOO. It's only problem might be that a few blogs are pretty prolific and don't only deal with philosophy.
#Sherlock Holmes and mathematics. The recent movie, not the books.
#Do you really learn from lectures? (I never did – I have much preferred the professors just hand out their lectures)
#What can neuroscience teach us about evil? My favorite bit, Will Wilkinson says that the recent Slate article “confirms my impression that neuroscientists think the ability to fabricate colorful and misleading technicolor pictures of brains license them to philosophize with impunity.”
#Heidegger, realism, and OOO Very nice post. I'm still working through Harman. I favor the "hyper-realist" readings of Derrida and Heidegger regardless of whether they are the thinkers own. The too speculative nature of OOO makes me pretty uncomfortable though.
#Chris H. has a blog up on theory, culture and Mormonism. We're ideologically pretty separated (he's a liberal, I'm conservative, he's a neo-Kantian of sorts ethically whereas probably Levinas and Derrida come closest to my ethical views to the degree I have any) Still I always enjoy my discussions with him.

Income
Income inequality, immigration, and women in the workplace. Interesting argument against Krugman arguing that the factors which produce a lot (but not all) inequality are actually good things.
Woodward on Obama
Woodward preparing book on Obama. Obama’s nervous. I haven’t read his full trilogy on Bush but I hear it’s the book to figure out what went wrong. (I’ve read extended excerpts though)
