“And whereas philosophers, analytic or not, typically take no interest in anthropology, the best anthropologists are true philosophers. Indeed, their subject matter demands nothing less. Exposing the view of reality that one has internalized as second nature to a cosmology of a genuinely different kind, studying how it is acted upon by a particular indigenous group, supplies a unique opportunity for critical reflection on behalf of one’s own culture and cosmology that it demands allegiance to.”

The weather in NE Scotland has been oppressive, objectively.
"the incessant rain we have seen in parts of eastern Scotland with Aboyne in Aberdeenshire already having had 63mm - more than its average for the whole of February. ....Not only has it been wet, but pretty dull too.
For Dyce in Aberdeen the sun has not made an appearance for the last 14 days, which if confirmed will make it the longest dull spell since 1957."

I don't think we've actually seen the sun since December. I'm out with the dog, twice, every single day, and it's been rain on a sharp easterly forever. Some days it's a real storm, some days it's a peevish gale, but it's just not stopping. Climate change depression as pathetic fallacy, in a wholly unromantic way.
