Roadmap to a guilty conscience.

¿Dónde estarán los adalides de la libertad académica y de opinión? ¿Esos que nos contaban en The War On Science que la izquierda woke y la teoría crítica generaban ambientes de censura en las universidades? Supongo que tendrán mucho que decir al respecto de esto.

Must discuss the basis of social sciences but cannot discuss the consensus of said social sciences.

Fucking joke ass state

Republicans are proud of their racism and bigotry and are trying to prohibit any criticism or even discussion.

Yep. No teaching ANYTHING that would inspire anyone to think there are systemic problems in the country.

Florida now mandating what material can be discussed in class, and forbidding anything be taught that would promote an iota of actual critical thinking.

Great

One of the key virtues of Brazilian democracy that I witnessed: its multiparty system.

The separation of interests between the president and Congressional majority led to a kind of legislative anti-authoritarian pushback from a center-right Congress Americans can only dream about.

i have come to the view that there is an extent to which elites are projecting the salience of bigotry on the broad public. *they* are preoccupied with this stuff and so they imagine the public must be obsessed with it.

YouTube video by TLDR News Global Why Argentina's Economy is Stalling

Whats frustrating about this is its not even a lab study. This took place with some of the wealthiest people in the world giving Millei constant boosts, and the US helping bankroll the project whenever it stalled.

On Speculative Philosophy & the Idea of Canada Revisiting the Work of Leslie Armour

Another essay that owes a lot to my conversations with @mattpolprof.bsky.social on my podcast.

There's simpler ways of saying "I dont know anything about philosophy."

If you really think that's true, I'm dying to hear what you think of this essay i just finished when I post it.

Anytime on Twitter makes you think of this Schopenhauer quote a lot

“Habermas’s thought is too complex to be boiled down to a dialectics of the virtuous mean where the right answer to philosophical and political problems lies somewhere between extremes.” @mattpolprof.bsky.social performing some helpful communicative reasoning on a difficult, but rewarding thinker.

My new piece on Habermas for @liberalcurrents.com

Also a Review of Habermas Is Habermas a titan of recent philosophy or a stodgy academic lacking a burning political vision?

"Writers like Barthes and Derrida may have theorized the “death of the author,” but, ironically, they were so consciously singular and eccentric that their approaches are recognizably their own. By contrast, Habermas worked very hard to divest himself of authorial presence"
