The purpose of this article is to advertise someone else’s work, in this case one who served as my first supervisor during my doctoral studies. Dr Betenson has since left academia, and is undertaking a philosophical life around farming and family, but has a site full of great philosophical ruminations.

This article, in particular, is a great read: https://tobybetenson.com/2025/08/02/on-being-someone-who-has-something-to-say/.

The blog itself can be subscribed to and you get emails or alerts if that is your thing, I thoroughly recommend it if you like to be challenged in your thinking which is of course, one of the principles of Socratic thinking.
