Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on May 29, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Jack Copeland! Another year wiser and still philosophizing circles around the rest of us mere mortals. Your lectures at Canterbury remain legendary—students whisper your name with awe (and slight terror) as they grapple with life's deepest questions.

Congratulations on yet another successful orbit around the sun filled with groundbreaking insights and academic triumphs. May this birthday bring you plenty of cake, laughter, and fewer existential crises than usual—or at least ones that can be solved before dessert is served. Here's to many more years inspiring minds while keeping philosophy delightfully perplexing for everyone else!
