Agglomerating reasons is hard, and I don’t defend the additive model. But friends of reasons don’t have any issues here that friends of evidence do not, nor any differences in their resources for what to say about it. This shouldn’t be a surprise because the reasons to believe are just the evidence.

It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.

I spent four of the most formative years of my life living in Minnesota. Feeling vicariously proud today despite the quarter century since then.

I don’t think these questions are actually so independent. The author of a serial novel can shape the essence of their novel by what they write in later chapters. You can shape the narrative of your life by what you do next. What America’s essence is *depends* on what we do going forward.

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true.

They are getting creative!

Let's normalize refereeing invitations where reading the submitted paper and writing a report is less work than logging into the journal management website.

Stephen Miller could apparently do with a review of the first few paragraphs of chapter 13 of Leviathan. Any of my students in Phil 270: Conceptual Foundations of Conflict this semester could explain the importance of the concept of _relative_ equality.

If I haven't gotten around to replying to an e-mail from 2020, how safe is it to assume that its sender has given up on me by now?

Welp. Just sent the manuscript for When Things Get Personal to the press. Looking forward to working with @princetonupress.bsky.social and seeing the product in print in time for next year's holiday gifts!

omg i didn't know this until now. Also, after seeing some of the clips of the cut segment, this is so much closer to the correct number.

This can be unsettling for readers trained as philosophers. They want to know which interpretation I am endorsing. My answer always has three parts: 1) _here_ is what I in fact think; 2) I haven't said so _yet_; 3) I would be delighted if you get something different out of what I _have_ said!
