Every season

Over the last few days, the temperature in Gothenburg has gone from a freezing -12 degrees to a new Swedish heat record of +14 degrees, being the highest temperature ever recorded this late in the year. As such, my pancakes with ice cream from Saturday already feels like taken from a different universe and so does my relief of escaping into the gym sauna after biking in ice-cold rain on Sunday morning.

Today, with Anna away for work in Dalarna, I had to delay my morning run as I was alone with the kids. The delay, however, had the unexpected benefit of allowing me to run a bit longer while enjoying a sprinkle of sunshine in the brisk wind. Afterwards, I returned home to write comments on an unusually intelligent text by my colleague Tomas on ideology critique—a topic that led me back to reflecting on Adorno, Walzer, and, of course, Rawls. In an academic landscape increasingly bereft of substance, this was a rare treat and a source of inspiration for my own work on the limits of emissions sufficientarianism.
