Publishing a journal article in 2025 but in volume 32, issue 2, 2024(!) is like the paradox in the Zhuangzi of going to Yue today and arriving yesterday.
I find it usually annoying, but it's fitting for a paper about time.

I'm so excited about these book arrivals. They look great.
The one on the Stoics immediately makes me want to write about the diversity of Stoic metaphysics, but I'll report later what I think of it.

What is an instant? Is it in time? Plato's Parmenides has a famous, weird, and difficult passage that discusses these questions.
In this paper, I offer my take on it.
Despite my reviewer 2 best efforts, I also discuss Star Trek transporters and Thanos.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
