Also understandable in that Tohoku is putting together one heck of a group of logicians and it’s understandable to want to be a part of that.

Also understandable that they would want Priest. The man is brilliant. I fundamentally disagree with him about dialetheism, but he’s brilliant.

I completely agree with everything you said, but I don’t fundamentally disagree with him about dialetheism.

That’s a bad (also not bad) joke, but I had (didn’t have) to (not) make it.

What was the AOS for the Tohoku position? I hear Priest is good for Nothing in Particular.
