At one point an audience member questioned if fragmentation is truly an impedance to solidarity in the opposition of oppression.

And now I’m back wondering who wins when fragmentation is almost ignored in the interest of holism.

I sat in philosophy talk recently where the speaker spoke about atomism vs holism and how they are employed in analyzing oppression.

I left wondering how identity membership [assumed, recognized and/or actual] may limit the ability to apply holism effectively across contextual planes.

Networking is a fascinating experience when you’re no longer a junior and lead a business unit. I now understand why executive tickets exist.

It’s always been odd to me that there aren’t more philosophy majors that consider software engineering as a career path…

For the amount of symbolic logic I see y’all do, you’d be absolute beasts.

So then is this app dead or are we still trying to make it happen?

It’s been 3 years…. I think I’m done resting.
