I submitted final revisions for a paper just a few weeks before Trump announced his first presidential run. 
It features an example of him acting as a political donor. I really wish that example wasn't in there.

The logic, presumably, is that they need to fear you, so that the won't take liberties.
If you're of a purely transactional mindset yourself, this kinda makes sense.
Here's the 2020 paper. In it I wrote that well-being is constituted by "being attuned to, or at home in, the world" and that "being disoriented, ill-at-ease in, or hostile to the world makes life go poorly." But I never got around to talking about the bad life in detail.

New paper with Teresa Bruno: "Ill-Being as Dissonance". 
A sort of companion piece to my 2020 paper "Well-Being as Harmony". 
Teresa and I chart the territory of what an account of ill-being might look like.

That is the mindset that will pliantly accept whatever authoritarian excesses Trump engages in, and both Trump and Elon are 100% aware of that.

Would it be possible to add that function to PhilJobs?
wouldn't you like to know.

When searching the Philjobs.org database, is there a way to filter out jobs in specific countries? 
Would be useful if, hypothetically, I didn't want to work in country X but there are lots of jobs posted in country X cluttering up my search results...

I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.
Gonna lose the next three then start another win streak.

Translation: MAGA won in a swamp of disinformation, much of it on SM platforms like X. They want RW govts in Europe, using the same model.

That will help them win votes!
