In The Possibility of Altruism Thomas Nagel introduces a distinction between motivated and unmotivated desires that has since become standard in discussions of action theory and moral psychology. But what, exactly, are these categories? Many uses of the term, arguably including Nagel's own, treat a desire as unmotivated if one has no reason for it. So conceived, unmotivated desires are mere urges, whims or unintelligible dispositions. It would be out of place to ask an agent to justify these states in the same way that it would be out of place to demand reasons for a headache. But Nagel introduces the idea differently, calling a desire unmotivated if one does not reason to it, that is does not engage in explicit practical reasoning resulting in the motivation to act.
Such states play an important role in human action and life, so this latter characterization makes unmotivated desires a large and interesting category. On the other hand, attractions that seize us unaccountably, the justification for which it does not even make sense to query, are unusual, and their occurrence — while perhaps curious — is of little normative interest. Maybe Nagel is right to think that you could simply become captivated with the idea of placing a sprig of parsley on the moon, gripped by the thought in an entirely whimsical way. But, if this odd thing were to happen to you it would not seem to provide or indicate a reason to do anything in particular.
I think that the ambiguity between the two ways of understanding unmotivated desires is often overlooked, and that that causes problems. It creates the possibility of toggling between the two ways of drawing the distinction, thinking of motivated desires as those to which we reason explicitly and unmotivated desires as normatively unevaluable urges. But by restricting attention to these two categories we manage to overlook nearly all of those motivational states that figure in real human action and practical thinking. For while we rarely reason explicitly to the attractions on which we act, neither do these attractions normally intrude on our consciousness unaccountably, as the Nagelian desire for herbs in space.
Normally, though we don't arrive at our desires by reasoning, we have them for reasons. Thus, to have a desire standardly puts one in a position of having reason without yet having said, even to one's self, what that reason is. That you haven't yet said what the reasons are doesn't mean that you aren't capable of doing so. But I think that this stronger thing is often true as well. While wanting something is usually an intelligible state — one which, like a belief and unlike a headache, can be interrogated for the reasons supporting it — it doesn't follow from the aptness of asking for reasons that the agent of the desire is or should be in a position to report them.
Desires aren't alone here. Think of what it is like to love someone. Love for a person is almost never a state to which one explicitly reasons. That is, one usually does not, and arguably could not, come to love someone merely by considering claims ascribing admirable qualities to him, or thinking through an argument for the conclusion that one has sufficient reason to love him. Rather, one normally comes to love someone through experience of him, experience in which one appreciates directly the value that one's love affirms. But love for another is not well understood as a brute preference or whim, unintelligible as a headache or an urge to put parsley on the moon. Even so, just as one couldn't have arrived at love through reasoning, so one can neither bring another to share the commitment through argument, nor even fully express the reasons for one's love, through mere report. One may have completely sufficient reasons, while yet being unable to say what these reasons are.
In fact, having reasons, perfectly adequate reasons that fully justify an attitude, without being able to say what they are appears to me to be very common. It happens with respect to belief, intention, hope, fear, and a host of other attitudes. These states are all reason responsive, or judgments sensitive. But they are often, perhaps almost always, formed without or prior to explicit reasoning, and becoming articulate about the reasons to which they respond can be extremely difficult, and may sometimes be impossible in principle.
Nevertheless, it seems to me that it's no accident that philosophers have widely overlooked the ambiguity in Nagel's presentation, or the more general phenomena of which it is an instance. Articulacy about our reasons is an ideal that we hold dear, an ideal that informs both our substantive views and the methods by which we purport to arrive at them. Our commitments, we think, should be based on reasons, and—here's the move—these reasons should be expressible as claims that could figure in a philosophical argument. Our values should thus wait on the arguments supporting them. If you can't communicate the reasons for your commitments, and aren't willing to regard them as brute preferences or matters of taste, then you ought to revise, abandon, or at least suspend them.
But if having reasons without being able to say what they are is a normal part of the human condition, then this is a mistaken demand for unwarranted skepticism.
So, having begun with a narrow observation about an ambiguity in philosophical terminology, I end with a plea for humility and patience with others and with ourselves. It is surprisingly easy to overlook the large class of reasonable commitments for which people are faultlessly unable to articulate their reasons. When we do so we are prone to wield the tools of philosophical argument like a cudgel. We excuse ourselves from charitable engagement with the perspectives of those who lack the relevant training. We drive our students to skeptical stances that most of us don't ourselves support. We do so while commending a misleading picture of philosophy as unrestrained discussion that leads us to truth through the inexorable force of the stronger argument.
We should, rather, expect, acknowledge, and perhaps even encourage inarticulacy. Even supposing that it is salutary to try to arrive at, or at least more nearly approach, articulacy about our reasons, it would be misguided to condition our commitments on the completion of this difficult task, or to encourage others to do so. Our relationships with others ought not be predicated on the premise that they need to support their commitments in argument before those commitments deserve to be taken seriously. For that matter, neither should our relationships with ourselves.
Thanks for the thought-provoking post, Kyla. Two quick thoughts that were provoked in me.
First, it seems absolutely right that ordinary people don't know the reasons for most of their desires (and beliefs), even though people do have them for reasons. And this seems well-supported by recent research in moral psychology and cognitive science generally. As Jon Haidt says, much of our attitudes arise from automatic processes to which we have little introspective access (the "elephant" in us that our more controlled mental processes, the "rider," can barely control).
Second, with that said, however, much of cognitive science is apparently revealing that our automatic processes often lead us astray. I think there's a serious worry about letting our automatic processes go unchecked (whether or not they are characteristically deontological, as Josh Greene argues). While I think most people in ordinary situations do pretty well in automatic mode, I do worry more when they confront fairly complex, new, or unfamiliar problems. (This general worry I do share with Greene, although I don't tie it to utilitarianism.) And, to your last point, confronting new problems precisely arises when our students in college (and adults generally) are reflecting on what they've absorbed in childhood. Not reflecting on one's reasons often perpetuates worrisome pieces of the status quo, such as discrimination, inaction regarding climate change, and so on.
I'm sympathetic to your final call for humility, but I'd prefer something that seems more in the middle. We should encourage one another to be reflective but emphasize that failure to articulate doesn't by itself mean that one's reasons are junk or that one must suspend belief. Perhaps we can have our cake and interrogate it too?
Such a cool post! And great advice.
At first I thought you were making a distinction like the one Dave Shoemaker makes between states or attitudes that are attributable to us (and so different from mere urges or whims), on the one hand, and states or attitudes that we are answerable for (and thus connected to our reasons in some way). But on second thought it sounds like you are actually encouraging a distinction between two different ways in which a state or attitude could be something we are "answerable" for.
On the first way, it's connected in the right way to reasons. On the second way, it's connected in the right way to reasons, and also we're in a position to articulate those reasons. And your point (I think) is that we might have the first sort of answerability connection to our states and attitudes without having the second sort of connection. I like it!
I wonder whether "being in a position to report" the reasons depends also on who is asking for the report?
Really interesting stuff, Kyla, thanks. I'm wondering if you could say more about the difference between attitudes one has for inarticulable reasons and attitudes one has for no reasons at all, that is, as pure emotional commitments, say, that are formed and remain in place independently of justifying reasons and judgment altogether.
This is relevant to some of the attitudes you cite, including fear. We might think fear is an attitude outside the realm of *justificatory* reason, but nevertheless for which there are reasons (reasons of fit). But I also have in mind attitudes like love or more general caring that have no *articulable* reasons because there just *are* no reasons in their favor, e.g., being a fan of a particular sports team, or having certain personal purely emotional attachments (things whose up-and-down fortunes dispose one to respond emotionally in sync, regardless of one's judgments of their worth).
I apologize: this is a dashed-off reply to your thoughtful post. But I wanted to get it out there.
Thanks for such a fun and thoughtful post! You might be interested in a paper I wrote about love in last January's issue of Ethics, where I defend a similar view.
I do think David's worry is serious, though. One way to answer it–which is part of how I try to answer it in the love paper–is to concede that anything done for a reason has to be explicable, but point out that lots of perfectly good explanations aren't articulable in general terms, or in abstraction from particular cases. For instance, one way to give a justifying explanation of a particular response–which comes up a lot in the rule-following literature–is just to cite other responses that make the one in question intelligible as a natural way of "going on." (I think a lot of explanations in aesthetics are like this, for instance.) While it might be possible to articulate a general rule that covers all the cases, there's no reason to think there has to be.
Thanks to you all for your engagement, thoughtful comments and helpful reading suggestions! Rather than post a single, long response, I am going to break my responses up into several comments below. I welcome your further thoughts.
Josh, I do favor a middle way (and I like your metaphor for it). This post emphasizes the error of overemphasizing articulacy about our reasons, but I don't mean to deny that there are other errors, vices opposed to the one that concerns me here. I do think that philosophers are more prone to the error of overemphasizing the role of articulacy, and that this shows up in our theory and our practice.
I'm not particularly qualified to comment on empirical studies, but I do think that the view may rely on some fairly modest empirical claims. The view that I am advancing does seem to be deeply at odds with the idea that "dumbfounding" reveals much of normative significance. So it's interesting that that very tension seems to appear in Haight's own work.
So I agree that these sorts of processes ought not go unchecked. But it's a further question whether holding ourselves and others to the standard of being able to state the reasons for our commitments is the right way to check them. The concerns above don't make me doubt that we often have good reasons about which we are inarticulate. One important point in the neighborhood is that we shouldn't confuse being thoughtful and reflective about our commitments with being capable of saying what the reasons for them are. It's not as if the choice is between unmitigated dogmatism on the one hand, and an ability to give the unconditioned justification of our commitments on the other, so it seems to me.
The gold standard would be to have some way of sorting, from the inside, when our purportedly reason-responsive attitudes are trustworthy and when they aren't. Ability to articulate the reasons is a tempting standard. If it worked it would allow us to do this sorting. But if I'm right then being able say what my reasons are is neither necessary nor sufficient for having good reasons, and the sorting that articulacy allows may well be a sorting into categories that we shouldn't care much about.
I would be very surprised if we could discover any rule or procedure that would allow us to reliably sort in the right way. (And I am rationalist enough in my sympathies that I do find this kind of disconcerting.) But, in the absence of such a thing, we can at least avoid certain mistakes. The mistakes that concern me here are overlooking the limitations and fallibility of our capacities to say what the grounds for our commitments are, identifying reflection on our commitments with only the sort of reasoning that could be spelled out in propositions, and mistaking articulacy for justification. There are mistakes on the other side too, mistakes of underplaying the role of argument. Those might be widespread in various parts of our culture, and philosophers might feel particularly called to confront them. But, in our fervor to confront this sort of error, we should look out for the possibility of errors of our own.
I hope that that's responsive to your concern!
Neal, I think that that almost characterizes my view. I do tend to think of us as being answerable for any attitudes of a sort that purport to be reason responsive, and that this includes not just beliefs and intentions but also, eg, desires and emotions. We're answerable in the sense that it is apt to ask someone for the reasons for these states, whereas it is not apt to ask for the reasons (in the same sense) for a headache. (Probably also not for a whim.) But I incline towards thinking of the two relations that you distinguish as along a continuum rather than as different kinds. We can be more or less articulate about the reasons for various attitudes, but being less articulate about them does not amount to not having reasons or forming our attitudes on the bases of them. Do you like that?
I like the point about our ability to articulate the reasons being sensitive to who is asking, and I would be interested in some examples of the phenomena you have in mind. At least loosely related is the further idea that what counts as "the reasons" for a commitment probably depends on what the relevant challenges or alternatives are, so it may be misleading to talk about the reasons in an unqualified way.
David, it seems to me that there are two different phenomena that you might be interested in under the heading of "attitudes for which we have no reasons." The difference turns on whether the states that you have in mind, states that "are formed and remain in place independently of justifying reasons and judgment altogether" are thereby defective. Eg, an intention that met that description would be defective, but a headache would not be.
It seems to me that a lot of our attitudes are such that they are both properly evaluable according to whether they respond to our judgments about the reasons for them and often—maybe even standardly—resistant to these judgments. Desires and emotions are, I think, like this. So I wouldn't say that fear or love are outside of the realm of justificatory reasons, if this means that it isn't apt to ask after the reasons for them, or that their divergence from our judgments about these reasons is not any sort of normative failure. Does that amount to a disagreement with you?
When you characterize the relevant attitudes as those for which there "are no reasons" it sounds like you are thinking of attitudes that should be classed with headaches in that they are not failing by any relevant normative standard in being unresponsive to reasons. Sports fandom is an interesting case. There are reasons relevant to the role that such things ought to play in our lives, including our emotional lives, but I agree that there aren't reasons that would fully determine the content of our commitments, say by picking out a particular team that we should support. Here it seems relevant whether the sports fans are willing to regard these as matters of brute preference or mere taste. If so, then they don't purport take their affiliation to be reason-responsive, and that looks to me like a promising way to distinguish between the two classes of attitudes you mention at the outset.
But I may be missing the force of what you are saying, because of may be misconstruing the categories that interest you. Please do follow up if so.
Ben, thanks for the recommendation. I will look it up. Offhand, it sounds to me like your view might still require more by way of articulacy than I think that we should, but I would like to see more details of the view before settling on that opinion.
Very interesting post. Some valenced reactions we have, such as liking or preferring chocolate ice cream to vanilla, seem to me to be all the reason we need for choosing one way rather than another. To the question of why one likes the former rather than the latter one can try to explicate what it is about the flavor that one likes but that articulacy will, obviously, fall short of mandating that all who are wise will share this taste. Eventually, such articulacy would just end in something like "and I just like that cool, creamy flavor." Of course there will be a causal story about one's preference, perhaps an evolutionary explanation, but those are not automatically anything worth thinking of as one's secret rationale for the preference. One just favors some things over others. Some such preferences are less mysterious to oneself and others, fit in with one's other preferences in predictable ways, are less unusual, and invite the request for more articulateness to a lesser degree than the preference for parsley on the moon. But I don't see why we should think the parsley preference is brute while the chocolate preference involves a hidden to oneself rationale that nonetheless really exists. I was not sure if you were saying that there was such a difference or not.
Very helpful reply! I see the need to appreciate the distinction between being reflective and being articulate. I wonder if they are so separable in practice, though. For me at least it's difficult to reflect well on my attitudes, commitments, and the reasons behind them without attempting to articulate them—not necessarily in speech but in thought or writing. So I just worry articulation of a certain sort is fairly bound up with reflection. Consider the saying "You don't know it until you've taught it." I find the truth in this is not so much in teaching the information per se but in articulating it, whether that's in speech, lecture notes, a book, etc. Still, I take the point that good reflection needn't always result from anything like articulation.
David, I don't see any reason to deny anything you say about ice cream. It seems important to me that the agent can regard the preferences as normatively optional in just the way that you describe, and acknowledge them as such. I'm also quite sympathetic to Scanlon's line that these preferences don't give us reason to act per se, though they are often indicators of what we would enjoy, and anticipated enjoyment can give us reasons to act.
Maybe the parsley-on-the-moon desire can be understood to be just like this, but I am a little doubtful. It also seems to matter that in the flavor case, while we won't be able to say enough to explain why, eg, vanilla is to be preferred to chocolate, we can usually say at least something about what makes vanilla good. I was thinking that the parsley-on-the-moon desire was purportedly not like this. If so, then there might really be a difference. I'm tempted to reach for the useful, but I suspect slippery, term "intelligible" for this: the desire for vanilla ice cream is intelligible, but the parsley-on-the-moon desire is not. But, whatever that means, it doesn't mean that the person who prefers vanilla does so for reasons that should move anyone.
Yes, that's a good question, Josh. I am confident about two things, and have a question about a further thing.
I am confident that we should not expect any episode of reflection to lead to full articulacy about a commitment of any significance, and so shouldn't take failure of articulacy as reason to distance ourselves from our commitments. And I am confident that articulacy often serves as an appropriate guiding ideal, so that trying to say why we are committed to what we are committed to can be useful and important. I try to communicate these two attitudes to my students by both pressing them to "say more" about why they hold the position that they do, and, if and when they can't, assuring them that that's ok and to be expected and that they should just keep thinking about it.
My question, a matter about which I feel genuinely uncertain, is whether articulacy is always an appropriate guiding ideal for our commitments, or whether it might sometimes lead us astray, even if we acknowledge that it's a standard that we can never fully attain. I now think that this latter thing–that articulacy about our reasons is a guiding ideal that we can never fully attain–is the way that Ben is recommending that we think about love. That may well be right.
But maybe there are other ways of reflecting well on our commitments that do not take the form of saying, or even trying to say, what the reasons for them are. I have a suspicion that there may be much in the aesthetics literature that could help me develop this thought, because it seems to me that telling stories or creating art might involve a kind of thoughtfulness about or reflection on our commitments that is not a matter of giving arguments for them. But I'm way out of my depth here, and as I say this is something about which I feel genuinely undecided.
I do wonder what Ben thinks about this in the case of love. If you ask me why I love someone, and I respond by telling you a story about that person, might that be a more adequate, complete, or appropriate answer than any further attempt to distill from the story a statement of what I take my reasons to be?
For my money the Scanlon view is embarrassed by the question of what we mean by enjoyment. Is it a flavor of sensation that one likes or prefers or is it a flavor of sensation (or family of flavors of sensations) understood as having no conceptual connection to the agent who feels it having a favorable reaction to it? If the former, then desires and such are still behind reasons of enjoyment. If the latter, most have not found reason-giving a sensation that one does not in any way care for.
You say that there are reasons that favor eating vanilla that should move anyone. So maybe you are thinking "that it is creamy" is a reason for anyone, even people who don't at all like creaminess?
So, I'm curious about the love example and wonder if you could say slightly more about it. My inclination is to think that there are good explanatory reasons for loving someone—they smell right, they make me happy, they impress me—but that these reasons aren't normatively or, in any obvious way, motivationally sufficient for loving someone. Rather, loving someone isn't the sort of state that needs to be defended on the basis of normative reasons at all. This doesn't seem to make it a "brute preference" or a whim. At least as I understand the pejorative aspect of these terms.
itself contains an interesting ambiguity. If "reason" here means "explanatory" (causal/psychological) reasons, I completely agree, but don't see why it's relevant. It's often hard to explain why we're in this or that state, but that's just because explanation is often difficult. And the job of explanatory reasons isn't to rationalize our desires internally, but to explain why we have them at all.
Apologies for the slow response time everyone, and thanks for your ongoing engagement.
David, I wonder if maybe you might have misread something or missed a negation. I didn't mean to say that there are reasons for, e.g., preferring vanilla that should move anyone. Only that a taste for vanilla does seem to me to be intelligible: it at least makes sense to us what it is that someone could like about the flavor, even if we ourselves prefer chocolate. The desire to put parsley on the moon, conceived as unmotivated in the sense that one has it for no reason, is–I take it–not even supposed to be like this. It is a state that is not even purporting to respond to something that is good or valuable about having parsley on the moon, but is just a whim.
As far as the Scanlon view goes, it seems to me that we ought to distinguish between desire or preference on the one hand, and enjoyment or pleasure on the other. I would think that the latter are conceptually positively valenced experiences. And what gives a particular person pleasure may vary from what gives another pleasure. But it still seems to me that it is this pleasure or enjoyment, rather than the desire, that is most helpfully called the reason in cases in which in makes sense to act according to our tastes. The desire could come apart from the pleasure: I could want the chocolate, but then find that I actually don't enjoy it that much. When they do, the reason seems to follow the enjoyment, not the want.
I'm not at all sure that much rides on this for me though. Maybe it generates a kind of counterexample to my strong claim that "attractions…the justification for which it does not even make sense to query…would not seem to provide or indicate reason to do anything in particular." Perhaps I should back off a bit on the strength of that, acknowledging that such attractions could provide or indicate opportunities for pleasure, and that that could be reason giving. It would still seem to me that unmotivated desires, so construed, would be of marginal normative significance.
Jack, thanks. It's definitely normative and not explanatory reasons that interest me.
Of course I agree that "loving someone isn't the sort of state that needs to be defended on the basis of normative reasons at all," if that means that we can be perfectly justified in loving someone while being inarticulate about why we do. In this sense we don't need to defend ourselves. But I disagree that we neither have nor need any justifying reasons for love.
I'm not claiming that we will have completely justifying reasons for loving the particular people that we do, as against all possible alternative candidates. But it does seem sensible to ask after the reasons that could justify organizing large swaths of our lives around certain individuals, as opposed to not doing that. Appealing to love, where that is itself conceived as a state that we are in for no (normative) reason, does not seem to be a sufficient response to this query. But it seems to me that, thought of as itself reason-responsive, love can play this justifying role. If we think of love as a sort of direct appreciation of the value of the beloved, then this value can provide both reasons for loving him and for doing the sorts of things that we do out of love. But we won't standardly be able to state these reasons in propositional form, nor does it generally seem very important to try.
Even so, I think that you and I may just be in fundamental disagreement. And I think that what may explain this is that you are seeing, while I am failing to see, a middle ground between two possibilities: At least part of what is driving me is the thought that love—along with many other sorts of attitudes—isn't a brute psychological state or whim. My suggestion is that what distinguishes these attitudes from a brute states or whims is that they at least purport to be reason-responsive. They can therefore be queried for their reasons and there is a normative connection between our judgments about these reasons and the states themselves. I take you to be denying that love has these sorts of features, but also denying that it's a mere whim. Perhaps that is right, but I wonder if you could try to say more about what characterizes the attitudes that fall into neither of these two categories.
Oh, I took it as read that we were talking about informed desires. No one thinks misinformed desires provide reasons. But I think we disagree about less than I thought when you say that enjoyment is necessarily favorably valenced. That makes me think you don't go for the kind of flavor of sensation, neo-Benthamite conception of pleasure or enjoyment that some try to use in place of contingent favoring attitudes such as liking or wanting. If your point is just that narrowly construed uninformed desires are at best indicators, I would not disagree. And if you allow that contingent favoring attitudes such as liking or enjoyment give reasons then we disagree, perhaps, only about how broad that category of reasons is.
So, interesting. I'll try to say something about what I think this middle ground is, though I'm not sure you'll find it satisfying.
Now, as to organizing your life around a beloved, why isn't it enough to just cite your affection for them? I don't quite see why we don't just get reasons—outweighable, to be sure, but reasons—from the mere fact that we love someone. Of course, I also think that our whim to put cilantro on the moon gives us a massively outweighed reason to enroll in a space program.


The extreme commercialization, passed off as modernization, is raising concerns about where the media-world is headed to and where it is leading info-curious citizens.
This small place of web is an attempt to remind ourselves whether media is doing the job that it claims or is it just a rat-race of TRPs, CPMs, etc for ROIs and Balance Sheets.
Mr. A. : So you believed all that you read in The Times of India article while having a cup of tea in the morning. Do you know that what you read is filled with careless reporting, conceit for some guys, buttering for some, promotion of brand X and indoctrinating Klu Klax Klan or a similar ideology?!
While the doubts of Mr. A. may not be all valid, there are proven cases of media malice in our country today. Not every time is even the article-writer or reporter aware of what is in between-the-lines of his newspaper article or TV News. There may be a multitude of reasons for the projected mis-information, but the PROBLEM is that all this is storing in OUR head. The quality of decisions/judgments being detrimental to the information we have, what is happening around us is a BIG SIGN to this khichdi of falsehood.

Q: How can I highlight a portion of the text of a UITextView? What I would like to do is, if my detailed view gets called I would like to highlight just a part of the text of the UITextView element.
Let's say the text within the UITextView is: blatextbla. Then I would like to highlight dynamically only text or late or whatever comes to the user's mind.
How can I do this?

A: You can't highlight a text in a UITextView.
Instead you can go with NSAttributedString.

A: You'll need to get the ranges within your text where the text to be highlighted starts and ends then use:
NSRange selection = [yourNSString rangeOfString:@"late"];
if( selection.location != NSNotFound ){
   myTextView.selectedRange =  selection;
}

I've never tried to select multiple ranges within a UITextView, so not sure if that's possible. I doubt it's possible...

A: - (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldChangeTextInRange:(NSRange)range replacementText:(NSString *)text

This is a built-in function through which you can find and replace text in a TextView.

Science fiction is usually set in the future. It's true that quite often it is only nominally the future -much science fiction is set in worlds that are no more plausible as a depiction of a real future than, say, Arthurian romances are plausible as depictions of a real past- but even so, one of the functions that SF performs is providing an imaginative way of thinking about where we may be headed.
An SF writer must primarily be a story-teller, though. There has to be tension and jeopardy in the imagined world, in order to generate a story. Fictional utopias, worlds where all humanity's problems have been solved, are notoriously screamingly dull. (Which sometimes makes me wonder if we would really even want to live in a utopian society, or whether, like David Bowie's Saviour Machine, we'd feel compelled to destroy it in order to get away from the tedium of it all?) It's much easier to set an interesting story in a dystopia, or at least in a world which is at least as flawed as the present, and I'm not sure its even possible to set an interesting novel in a utopia unless the utopian society is placed under some kind of external threat ( as in Huxley's Island, or Le Guin's The Dispossessed).
I mention all this because I like to read about positive developments that might improve things in the future, and as someone who writes about the future (and worries about it, as we all do), I always feel that I'd like to disseminate what I read, but in fact it is very hard to do so through the medium of SF. I think maybe I just need to accept that non-fiction is a better medium for writing about such things.
But there's an obvious problem with PV which is that sunlight isn't constant and can't be turned on and off to meet demand. Actually no other source of power can be turned on and off at will like that without at least some cost, but clearly PV doesn't work at all in the night, generates power in the middle of the day whether it is needed or not, and generates less power when the sky clouds over, even if more is actually needed during those times. Most of the book is therefore about developments around the world aimed at addressing this problem, which the author sees as eminently surmountable.
There are a number of layers to this. One is to manage demand more effectively. There are already schemes whereby companies are paid to enter into an agreement to cut energy use at short notice when there is a spike in demand, which can often be done without affecting productivity. For example, a papermill produces pulp and stores it, and then turns the pulp into paper. Provided there is a sufficient store of pulp, pulp-making can be paused at any point, without reducing the overall output of the mill. In the same way domestic fridges and freezers can be turned off for short periods without ill-effect and chargers for electric vehicles can be set to stop charging at periods of peak demand, and resume charging at periods of lower demand.
Another way is to store the energy. Pumped storage – that is: using surplus power to pump water uphill, and then allowing that water to flow down through a turbine to generate power at times of energy shortage- has been the main means of doing this on a large scale, but there are a limited number of suitable sites for this. There are also new solar powerstations being built which, instead of using PV, concentrate solar energy to generate heat that can be used to power turbines even when the sun is down (Morocco has made a big commitment to this approach and is currently developing the largest such scheme in the world). Increasingly though, large-scale storage in batteries is becoming an option, because batteries are reducing in cost year on year, much like PV, albeit not quite so quickly. In countries where there is steady sun throughout the year, this book suggests, a combination of PV and banks of batteries may on their own be able to provide sufficient power for household use.
However in countries with long, relatively dark winters, batteries will not be sufficient. The later chapters of this book explore emergent technologies, not yet as far advanced as PV or batteries, which can use surplus power to synthesise fuels, by extracting hydrogen from water and combining it with carbon dioxide to make methane or ethanol. One of the attractive things about this approach is that there is an existing infrastructure of storage tanks and pipelines which are currently used for fossil fuels, as well as gas powerstations that could equally well run on synthesised fuel. The book describes a range of different approaches being taken around the world towards mimicking what plants do naturally, using sunlight to make fuel, and doing so on a commercial scale.
I couldn't make a novel out of all this -perhaps some people could, but I couldn't- and yet it is a fascinating story. I guess the truth is that the really creative people here are not story-tellers who imagine worlds, but the scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and politicians, who actually make things happen in the real world that we all inhabit. I know that a lot of people would argue that the rate of change towards these new technologies is still far too slow to tackle climate change, but that's a question about political will. The political choice to shift away from fossil fuels is only even theoretically possible if viable alternatives are available. The encouraging story this book tells is that they are, and getting more viable all the time. The other encouraging point -and I'm simply not qualified to judge how realistic it is- is that a time is arriving where market forces themselves, regardless of politics, will pull us in the direction of solar power and power storage, and away from fossil fuels.
This is interesting – and I have just ordered the book. Some experts do believe that we can have enough grid storage to do away with baseload power-stations altogether; others disagree, but how nice if Hinkley Point could be shown to be completely irrelevant.

Spotlight: Give Syrian kids hope, not helplessness to fight in battles
DAMASCUS, March 24 (Xinhua) — In Syria, a country that has suffered greatly from the past four years of ferocious civil war and constant strife, children, who should have been comforted with hope, have been edging ever closer to helplessness.
It is true that some of the kids can still grow up in supportive families, yet many others have been trained as fighters as the crisis-ridden country entered the fifth year of seemingly endless violence and chaos.
Jawdat Tayfur, a sixth grade student, said he would never think of handling a weapon, even though he came from a conflict zone under rebel control in eastern Damascus.
To run for life, the 11-year-old said his father moved the family out of Jobar neighborhood as the situation there was getting worse.
"We have seen so much destruction and blood in Jobar and decided to leave. As we were leaving, I found a dead body tossed on the street and I turned to my father and asked him why people died like that? Wrapping his arm around my shoulder, he told me it wasn't our business and pulled me away," Tayfur recounted.
The boy said his father tried his best to take their minds off of the war, and promised him about a nice future if they excelled in school.
Tayfur, despite losing his house and having to work in a restaurant to help raise his family, is lucky to have such caring parents. Many others were not.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Tuesday that over 400 children under 18 years of age have been recruited by the Islamic State (IS) militant group since the beginning of this year.
The UK-based watchdog group said most of the recruitment was from eastern parts of the country, namely in Deir al-Zour province, where IS militants enjoy considerable sway.
IS has been working hard to recruit children who live close to its branch offices.
The militant group never care whether those children seeking to have or have not the consent of their parents. Sometimes, it even forced parents to send their children to its training camps.
In the camps, children have to learn in ideological courses the group's credo and how to fight in battles, according to the Observatory.
To keep these children around, the IS lured them with financial rewards.
According to the Observatory, around 140 armed children under the age of 18 were sent to fight in the predominantly Kurdish city of Ayn al-Arab in northern Syria against Kurdish fighters last January.
Moreover, videos of children training and shouting sectarian slogans have gone viral over the Internet. Even those in school have been deprived of normal curriculums, as IS abolished government curriculums and textbooks, replacing them with materials teaching Islamic sharia according to IS understanding.
"I think children should not handle weapons. This must change because our country is beautiful. I think that stress has forced people to resort to weapons but I personally wouldn't ever think of holding one myself," Tayfur told Xinhua.
"I love peace. I hate weapons, destruction or blood. I despise it as I have become fed up with it. I say to children who were forced to handle weapons that this choice will hurt you," he continued.
Many other children at Tayfur's school said they dream of becoming somebody as they grow up, despite the challenges facing their families, mainly economic ones.
Still, hopes of becoming doctors and engineers dominate at the capital's schools.
Twelve year old Ranim Idris said her family are doing their best to furnish her with an environment conducive for studying.
"I would like to become a doctor, that's why I study so hard. My family has been my inspiration. They are doing everything within their means to help me become an accomplished individual when I grow up," she said.
"I pray for an end to the suffering of children stuck in battle zones so they could return to school and develop themselves."
Manya Jabbour, a school teacher, told Xinhua that the Syrian Ministry of Education is exerting substantial efforts to support the educational system in the war-torn country, in a bid to help students continue their education despite the difficulties.
She said psychological evaluation is offered for children who come from battle zones to help them adapt.
"We are working on creating a healthy environment for the children, organizing activities like acting, sports, and drawing to enhance their intellectual capabilities," she said.
She added that schools in Damascus currently have programs to raise childhood awareness regarding the dangers of handling weapons.
"I feel really sorry for children who were forced to handle weapons because at the end of the day they are children. I cannot imagine what they could be capable of in the future if they are handling weapons now," she noted.
Commenting on the use of children in armed conflict, Kumar Tiku, chief of communications of the UN Children's Fund, said in an interview with Xinhua that using children has become a "growing trend."
"We see children used in a variety of ways such as getting initiated into radical education of extremist interpretations of religion as well as domestically where armed groups use them for personal needs," he said.
He stressed that the "most alarming trend is the increasing use of children in combat roles," noting that this has "profoundly negative implications for the future of this generation of children."
The United Nations recently said that over 10,000 children have been killed in the Syrian conflict, with many more subjected to "abominable" suffering, including rape, torture and combat recruitment. Thousands more have been forced to flee their homes due to the prolonged conflict.

Injury newsRoberto Firmino and Diogo Jota fitness update
Published 19th February 2022
By James Carroll at Anfield
Liverpool are waiting to discover the extent of the muscle injury that ruled Roberto Firmino out of Saturday's victory over Norwich City, but Jürgen Klopp had an encouraging update regarding the fitness of Diogo Jota.
Firmino was absent from the squad for the 3-1 win over the Canaries at Anfield, with the issue being assessed by the club's medical staff.
Jota was also missing due to the ankle problem he picked up during the first half of Wednesday's Champions League tie with Internazionale; however, it is not as bad as first feared, according to the boss.
Klopp told his post-match press conference: "We made a lot of changes - two we had to make, Diogo and Bobby both were not available today. We really don't know 100 per cent.
"With Diogo, it looks a little bit better than we first thought. With Bobby, we didn't even know that he had something until he felt it only after the game [in midweek]. We all thought it is a little thing, but it's a muscle injury and we have to see how long it will take.
"I don't know at the moment, but for sure not for the next game, so we have to see.
"We rested Trent today and the rest pretty much were in the squad or played."

In searching for how wages are -- or aren't -- keeping up with inflation, WorldatWork surveyed compensation directors at 2,400 companies including 3M, General Mills, Carlson Cos., Target, Ecolab and Donaldson Cos.
In Minnesota, 373 companies forecast average pay raises of 2.7 percent for 2011 and 2.9 percent for 2012. That's the same as the national rate, meaning that Minnesota is right in line with the national picture, said Alison Avalos, research manager for WorldatWork, a salary tracking firm in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Economists attribute the low salary increases to the lingering effects of the recession: high unemployment and the lack of labor demand in a number of industries.
"With the nation's unemployment rate averaging 9.4 percent between May 2010 and April 2011, salary budget increase trends may only see significant improvement if unemployment decreases," Avalos said. "That would put pressure on employers to raise wages in order to stay competitive."
That pressure already is rising in some industries. WorldatWork spokeswoman Marcia Rhodes noted that the demand for labor is uneven. Mining and oil-and-gas companies are already seeing a shortage of skilled workers nationwide. Surveyed companies in those sectors plan to boost salaries 4.1 percent in 2012.
Locally, labor demands are also uneven. The state's unemployment rate was 6.7 percent in June.
Minnesota added a net 15,200 jobs between May 2010 and May 2011, with the biggest job gains taking place in the professional and business services sector (up 11,400), education and health services (up 7,400) and manufacturing (up 4,500). Heightened labor demands could push those salaries higher, economists said.
During the same period, however, other industries pruned payrolls, making it unlikely that they will boost compensation above the rate of inflation anytime soon.
Over 12 months, Minnesota construction firms cut 6,700 workers, government cut 6,000 and banks, insurance and other financial firms cut 600 jobs.

Convert abandoned carts into orders with the help of automated email notifications.
The extension is a part of Aheadworks Small Business Kit – a set of extensions for Magento 2 offered at a special price and bringing the most demanded functionality at storeowner's disposal.
The aim of Abandoned Cart Email extension for Magento 2 is to remind customers who have left items in the cart to get back to the store. The reminder emails are created with the help of 'rules' - an extension entity that controls what email, when and on what conditions is sent to the customer. The storeowner can create any number of rules targeting different groups of customers – customers who left particular items in the cart, or customers with cart total exceeding certain amount.
By default, the cart is considered abandoned after an hour since the last product has been added/removed from the cart. The emails are sent to customers after the time specified in the Abandoned Cart Email rule. For quick management of all sent and scheduled emails the extension offers a 'Mail Log' where the storeowner can manually manage all outgoing reminders. To make sure all the rules are configured properly Abandoned Cart Email extension comes with the 'Test Mode', that allows sending all the reminders to the specified email address.
The extension allows reaching customers who, for some reason, left the carefully selected items in the cart. According to statistics almost 75% of customers leave their carts across the US stores. Every abandoned cart is a missed sales opportunity and a lost profit, and even if the abandoned cart email opening rate is 10% it can be potentially turned into striking 30% increase in sales if every customer proceeds to the checkout. That is why having an email reminder tool such as Abandoned Cart Email is essential for every Magento store.
Get additional promotional opportunity by sending reminders with the sales materials or coupon codes.
The reminders include a link to the store inviting customers for a checkout.

Study reveals the most common thing we all sleeptalk about
You might think sleep is a time of peaceful rest, but a new study suggests visiting the Land of Nod can make us quite angry.
Researchers in France listened to 232 people as they slept over two nights, recording what they said - and it wasn't pretty.
The most common word they heard was 'no', and almost 10 percent of sentences contained a profanity. F**k was spoken about 800 times more frequently than normal.
During REM sleep - dreaming - verbal abuse was common, "mostly directed toward insulting or condemning someone".
Around a quarter of the time, the person sleeping was either being interrogated or delivering an interrogation when they spoke.
Men talked more in their sleep than women, and were more likely to swear too.
Around 59 percent of everything the volunteers said was non-verbal.
Surprisingly, despite the reputation sleeptalking has for producing nonsense phrases, the study found the majority of the intelligible speech recorded followed grammatical rules.
"Sleeptalking is very similar to talking awake, in terms of correct grammar, with subordinate sentences, and silence for other[s] to answer, as in awake turn of speech," lead researcher Dr Isabelle Arnulf told Medical News Today.
It's still not known what causes sleeptalking, but research suggests it's when the part of the brain that's meant to paralyse movement during sleep fails to function properly.
The findings were published in journal Sleep.

Australian technology that gathers real-time, location-aware customer data and behavioural insights in return for free high-speed wi-fi and an enhanced, tailored shopping centre experience has attracted a multimillion-dollar investment from Blue Sky Private Equity.
Shopper Media Group, Australia's fastest growing digital out-of-home (OOH) media business, was set up in 2015 by former oOh! Media executives Ben Walker and Ed Couche and already counts blue chips like Coca Cola, Lion, Goodman Fielder, American Express and Johnson & Johnson as clients.
The company will use the funds from Blue Sky to support its plan to double its national footprint by installing its Smartlite TM digital advertising panels into more than 300 Australian shopping centres.
The panels, which are already installed in 150 shopping centres, currently reach more than 2.8 million shoppers per week, who have accessed the free high-speed wi-fi that captures key consumer demographics and behaviours. With the ability to ask shoppers specific questions, Shopper Media Group's targeted data analytics and real-time consumer insights enable advertisers and shopping centres to deliver tailored information to improve consumers' overall shopping experience.
Shopper Media Group currently hosts a database of more than 100,000 unique shoppers and plans to become Australia's largest shopping centre consumer database in the near future.
Recognised in APAC CIO Outlook's Top 10 Digital Technology Companies for 2017, Shopper Media Group's intelligent Smartlite TM technology is at the forefront of worldwide location-aware wi-fi analytics, and primed to take advantage of the 'peak smartphone environment' forecast for Australia.
Recent Deloitte research found Australians are interacting with their smartphones 480 million times a day – an increase of more than eight per cent on 2015, while 59 per cent prefer to connect their smartphone using wi-fi instead of their mobile network.
Shopper Media Group CEO Ben Walker said Blue Sky immediately understood how the company was disrupting Australia's very established OOH advertising market with innovative technology.
"Blue Sky is an innovative company like us, and the private equity and venture capital divisions have an established and proven 10-year track record with investments in successful tech businesses such as Vinomofo and Alcidion," Walker said.
Blue Sky Private Equity investment director Nick Miller said Shopper Media Group fitted Blue Sky's portfolio as a tech-based company in a high-growth industry.
"Digital OOH media is Australia's fastest growing media market, with 50 per cent per annum growth driven by digitisation, audience reach and performance," Mr Miller said.
