That’s cool. It just so happens that I was casually looking into that area the other day, specifically about Priest’s application of dialetheism to He...
They’re the same thing. Or in other words, yes, but this is a particular commonsense view that we get from science, from the culture of a secular soci...
In your very first appearance on TPF, when you attacked me for daring to question the American Declaration of Independence, called me a coward, and th...
A total outlier in my musical pantheon but he’s great. Julian Cope. https://youtu.be/C8brlUfhwBk https://youtu.be/Me8koyuX4YE https://youtu.be/CgEz3_H...
I still think you're being too hasty in your judgements, not knowing much about the context. He had been working hard for a year or so to walk a line ...
I get that, but I disagree. I think woke politics is a particular way of doing politics that comes out of progressive neoliberalism, was originally an...
I kind of feel that way too; as a philosophical orientation it looks odd. However, taken as an object of science it makes sense to puzzle over phenome...
I don't think so, at least not obviously so. The 1960s student movement, particularly the German one, was explicitly for the democratization of the un...
Well, political economy and political philosophy, which the OP asked about, are just the names of academic disciplines, so that's really what I was ta...
I said I’d come back to it, and here I am. As you might have predicted, my response is: sure, they’re different in some ways, but there are important ...
Oh that’s just the colloidal flocculation caused by a sudden drop in zeta potential in areas of very low air pressure in the proximity of juvenile can...
He’s a good boy. Embrace your self-indulgence like I embrace my buffoonery. Revelling in the negatives is the dialectical road to truth. I’m always su...
I don’t want to do battle over who is more open-minded, left or right. The question is too abstract and ahistorical. Sometimes it’s the left, sometime...
Political economy and political philosophy are different fields. The former is about economics in the context of politics, government, and nation stat...
The first DiD strip is intriguing and cool enough for me to want to spend 15 minutes trying to work it out. In the second, I can’t tell what’s going o...
That’s all very praiseworthy and agreeable. But… I would say to be balanced you must not present them as if they are equally pernicious and dominant w...
Thanks for the info dump. Hey you forgot about the Sierra Nevada. The Appalachians are old. They used to be part of the same range as the Scottish mou...
I have a feeling you might interpret him more charitably when I tell you he really hated Heidegger, philosophy and all. Adorno’s attitude to technolog...
Maybe I didn’t describe the incident very well or put it in its proper context. It was a disruption that prevented him from lecturing, the students we...
Assuming you’re serious, you’ve jumped to a lot of silly conclusions there. Total misinterpretation of the events. However… This is a good point. Mayb...
Not as shallow as mine! Let’s see what I have in my mind, and I’m not going to Google it… Dayton. Potatoes? No that’s Idaho or Iowa. Hm… Midwest. Plai...
