I have no confession to make &#8211; there has been a problem. A delay, no less. It came about because I was trapped, practically. I was brought out of it by Andrew, a student at The University of Rummidge&#8217;s philosophy grad school, who diagnosed the following practical paradox:

A time traveller appears to you. (He really is one, you believe that he is, and you believe it for good reasons). He tells you that he is from the future. He just visited tomorrow, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jhbi.wordpress.com&blog=3154872&post=11&subd=jhbi&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I recently visited a local toy shop – I had a legitimate reason. Downstairs there were toys (lego, soft toys, dumper trucks, etc.); upstairs there were railway sets and model kits (planes, cars, boats, tanks, etc.). Upstairs, there were also small figurines of World War II soldiers, generals etc. Now, clearly the items downstairs were [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jhbi.wordpress.com&blog=3154872&post=9&subd=jhbi&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abstract 
Starting from a simple example, I argue that there are cases in which two equally plausible and important principles of practical rationality may conflict. The two principles are:
