Really not looking forward to any of the forthcoming arguments against nativism based on who Noam has associated with.

I already reject associationism so these won’t be convincing.

Just watched the video for the first time ever. The moral seemed to be that both Taylors were evil and football guy was doomed in this life and the next for being unchaste.

Im choosing to take this as a defense of dynamic semantics.

Last Night's Dream: My dept required that I participate in a tag team wrestling match. One of my opponents was Brock Lesnar. My partner was the cute girl from my early 20s who had a crush on me, but I never pursued. We won the match, but my contract was not renewed.

Dreams are meaningless for sure.

Yes and no. There are many alternative proposals, but none of them are actually better.

As a decent, God-fearing, semantic externalist, I think that recent uses of the word β€œpositivism” are nothing short of barbaric.

Naw, we just told the ethicists that cuz you weren’t ready for the lambda calculus required for generalized quantifier theory.

Noticing that my level of social media activity is positively correlated with how much grading I am doing and negatively correlated with how much writing I am doing.

This book defends modal realism: the thesis that the world we are part of is but one of a plurality of worlds, and that we who inhabit this world are only a few out of all the inhabitants of all the worlds.

Everybody hates grading and is always behind schedule... unless this grading is taking place on social media. Then everybody loves it and has the time.

Update: now that my retro setup is complete, my wife has become hopelessly addicted to Star Sweep (PS1). Dishes go unwashed and children go unfed as my wife languishes in a never ending battle with Temu-Sephiroth.

I can't help but notice that some of you tweet too much, while others do not tweet enough. It would be great if you all could sort that out, thanks.

This is just the disagreement challenge to contextualism about quantifier domains for definites.
