A short while ago, I posted a very bullish little piece inviting people to argue with me. Well, someone took me up on the offer, so welcome to the first Den Debate!

Hello! This is the first instalment of what I hope will at least become a semi-regular series of Den Discussions, in which I speak to people I find interesting about what I think are interesting subjects. Going forward, these discussions will take the place of some of my readings from books/essays/poems etc, though those will not completely disappear. As I said, these discussions might not be regu...
