Regardless of what you think about Solomon, you can't deny that Daniel Ward delivered an incredible performance in every scene he had this season but especially, throughout the entirety of 15x06.

Bladderwrack

Salen, Highlands. “Taken on a family holiday in west Scotland. This particular day we had perfect autumnal conditions: glorious rainbows, perfect mirror-like reflections and fantastic autumn colours all around. I was super-happy with my images from the day. As I was walking back along a jetty from photographing some boat reflections, this bladderwrack hanging on to the side of the jetty caught my eye. It looked a bit like a tree, with its beautiful olive greens fading into golden yellows at the tips, and became one of my favourite images from the whole trip.”

A goal is distinct from a mere impulse in the following way: a goal can potentially render other preferences mistaken. Impulses cannot. Your impulse to stay at a party cannot be ‘mistaken’ simply because you have a competing impulse to call it a night. But staying out might be a mistake if there is an objective informing your desire to go to bed, such as your plan to attend a meeting the next morning. A person whose choices can never be mistaken cannot really have any meaningful plans or objectives, only a series of impulses. What’s more, the fact that some of our preferences are contingent on others – and so can be mistaken – is what allows people to persuade one another. If you and I realise that we share some goal, say, of reducing traffic accidents, you can seek to reason with me that my immediate preference in the matter – to vote for a particular policy with that objective in mind – is mistaken because it will not achieve that goal. If, instead, you believe that my inclination to vote for that policy is an inscrutable facet of my identity – it is my preference, and that is the end of the matter – persuasion is not open to you. Your only hope is to join forces with enough other like-minded people and then silently and grimly out-vote the likes of me. General infallibility creates the illusion that people are essentially mindless. It holds that we believe what we believe, and value what we value, for no reason at all, or at least for reasons that are unintelligible to anyone else. Under those conditions, no one can engage with anyone else’s views or take them seriously. If, today, identities are becoming increasingly tribally defined, with each group living in its own ‘bubble’, this is an illusion that we urgently need to learn to see through. To err is human. Missteps, misapprehensions, misspeakings, momentary lapses and mess-ups are part of the fabric of life. Yet we are capable of making mistakes precisely because we are thoughtful, intelligent beings with complex goals and sincerely held values. We wouldn’t be able to if we were otherwise. Regrets: we’ve had a few. But we are the wiser for them.
