A significant part of MAGA want things to go off the rails. It's what comes after Trump that they care about--his job is to help take down what they see as a failing social and political model. It's much more radical than a lot of people realize.

It felt like a landslide because in a sane world Trump would have gotten 10% of the popular vote. That he won cemented the fact that there’s been a cultural shift that is working against the left.

It is. The space for reactions to this horrible act that transcended politics closed almost immediately. He'll be known forever as martyr taken down by the intolerant left no matter what the facts turn out to be.

Enshittification Isn’t Just in Tech Anymore—It’s Everywhere

Seems pretty spot on. I would argue, though, that Plato’s account of the inevitable decline of the Republic into tyranny was the original theory of enshittification.

Sorry to hear about Tom Lehrer. My father was a big fan so I grew up listening to him. Sadly I never got a chance to take a class with him at UCSC. Here’s one of my favorites.

Silkscreen triptych with one panel for each part of the “8 hours” slogan, depicting work, rest, and what we will. The original slogan dates from the Industrial Revolution in Britain, when it was coined by Robert Owen in 1817: “Eight hours labour, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest”.

You might consider some Natural Law figures, starting with that reading of Aristotle. But then St. Thomas Aquinas, John Finnis, Robert George, MacIntyre etc.

After New York governor Kathy Hochul earlier this week ordered the City University of New York to remove a job posting for a professorship in Palestinian studies, AAUP president Todd Wolfson is urging...
“If academic freedom in teaching & in scholarship can be overridden by the dicta of politicians & administrators, then the right to learn will not survive our present moment.”

I think shared governance is what makes academic freedom real. Professors can't have freedom to teach or research if faculty don't have a substantive role in curriculum, deciding what gets published, and so on. If faculty don't have this role, academic decisions will be made by non-academics.

Writer and student of philosophy wondering what happens when everything's connected to everything else. My curiosity gets stirred by complexity theory, Pyrrhonism, and—especially—stoicism as a political philosophy of nature. My blog: ecostoic.wordpress.com
