A standard view is that the state ought to facilitate pension schemes, on which people retire at a specific age. These are understood as a species of insurance, and the standard view some support from more general considerations about the state's legitimate role in promoting (even mandating) cooperative activity between participants that serves to protect those who end up most worse off. My aim here is to first highlight some assumptions behind this standard view, both about how insurance is being understood and other background views about the relationship between aging and labour market participation. This will lead me to defend some negative and positive claims. Negatively, I will argue that pension schemes are (typically) not insurance schemes after all, as the distribution of payouts does not inversely track a relevant distribution of bad luck (largely because people die at different ages). This raises questions about the state's legitimate role in facilitating types of pooling other than insurance. More positively, I will argue that the right to retire should be understood in terms of 'phased' or gradual retirement. This would take retirement pooling closer to the insurance model, improving the case for state's role in enabling it to take place, as well as having some independent theoretical advantages.

The documentary details the construction of Onkalo (ongoing since the 1970s and as-yet-unfinished) and the problems of communicating the threat contained within to far future generations. It is an eerie and wonderful film. From Brett: My work is focusing on the role of risk and ethics in Australia's nuclear waste policy. Australia does not have any plans for a high-level waste facility, although there has been suggestion that Australia could successfully and profitably host an international repository. 'Into Eternity' will provide an interesting and fruitful comparative look at another nation's progress in this difficult and important issue.

The obscurity and incompleteness of the theory makes it particularly difficult to evaluate a range of "scope objections" to the theory, objections which claim that the theory is limited in scope in one way or another and so must either be interesting and important not as the one true theory of self-knowledge in its intended domain, but only with respect to only a particular domain of self-knowledge, or perhaps even only with respect to issues outside of traditional concerns with self-knowledge. In this paper I defend the deliberative theory against such scope objections, arguing that, when properly understood, the deliberative theory has exactly the scope of application that a theory with its intended domain---that is, a theory of the distinctive means by which we come to know our own attitudes---should have.
