Kevin Vallier

He doesn't need AV to write for him! He just retweets him! (This was yesterday.)

The libertarian-postliberal pipeline in a meme.

THE OVERLAPPING CONSENSUS with Kevin Vallier Can politics move beyond a state of institutionalized aggression? Should liberalism be justified by appeals to a conception of the good or to public reason?

4. Does politics have to be as unpleasant & untrusting as it is? @kvallier.bsky.social & I debate

Sure!

Briefly, it is the claim that the only thing that can legitimize state power is the reasons of the public that the state governs.

I’ve seen some say that the public reason project in political philosophy is dead. I think this is because its ethic of public deliberation looks unrealistic post 2024 election. But public justification and public deliberation are not the same thing. My case: www.jstor.org/stable/26444...

Some tell-tale words for LLM writing: nuance, delve, solid, key, stimulating, showcasing.

I have been warning you people for years!

Nice. This couldn't be closer to what I'm looking for!

Is anyone in ethics/applied ethics working on when it is permissible to use LLMs in your research and writing?

Followed yours!

Just my Substack that I’ll fire back up in the new year.

Lots of great starter packs, but it does amuse me that there’s an exvangelical pack in the first two pages of search results and not an evangelical pack.

Thank you!

Is there a philosophy starter pack? A law starter pack? An Econ starter pack? You apparently can’t search for them yet.

Excellent!

Who are good people I can follow who debate stuff on this platform? I’m scrolling a bunch and don’t see as much as I thought. But I just got here really. Tired of not seeing it on Twitter. I miss it.

It really does seem like the dam has broken and that most academic communities are here or will be soon, and many other parts of the left. I’m not seeing many on the right, and I’m not sure that will happen.

PPE Society is one of the best conferences ever. New ideas, perspectival diversity, high energy, full of friends, still growing.

PPE Society is such a wonderful conference. I learn so much from such wonderful people.

Pope Benedict XVI

I don’t know how that works at scale. You probably need a red-tribe pope to say it is cringe. B16 thought integralism was cringe.

It is a complex process, but you have to take the theology seriously and taking people who begin thinking politically from Christ sort seriously. What matters then is reasoning well within their conditions.

Strongly recommend this YouTube page -

I came across it from Orlando Patterson's lecture, & have listened to Elizabeth Anderson, @tmbejan.bsky.social @kvallier.bsky.social @samuel-bagg.bsky.social & more here to prep for interviews

You can reason with Christian Nationalists. It’s not hard. I talk to Catholic Integralists a lot.

So cool to be on a social media platform where people are talking about my trust stuff not integralism stuff, so thank you! Right now, my trust work is empirical with Cristina Biccheiri. I’ve lost some confidence in standard measures of trust. We’ll present on this at PPE Society, if you’re coming!

I think philosophy, poli sci, and econ Twitter are close to solving the coordination problem of coming over here. I’d hesitated because I’m so eager to connect with young people on the right and that’s where they live. But I feel like my mind has dulled with such a Musky feed.
