This might be fun:

What are some philosophical views that you really want to be true, but are pretty sure they aren't? Maybe the view would solve a lot of problems, or would really streamline your overall picture, or is just really, really cool; but, unfortunately, it seems to have one (or two) fatal flaws of its own.

This post has 2 points: (i) it will be fun to see what views people pick, and (ii) maybe someone will put up a view with a supposedly fatal problem, but someone else will know of a solution to the problem.

I'd like it if Chisholm's agent causation view were correct. It would help out a lot in the free will and moral responsibility debates (and be so empowering!). But, I feel like it's not true, unfortunately.

In order to generate a little activity on the blog:

What will people be doing (philosophy-wise, or otherwise, I suppose) over winter break?

I plan to do some reading for the seminars I'm taking in the spring, and hopefully do some reading on bootstrapping in epistemology.

Others?
