He thought he could resolve a party conflict in a national way. It did not resolve that conflict and proved a disaster for the nation he played politics with.
He reckoned on winning. Perhaps he could have if the image in Scotland (below) had been replicated nationally. He did not reckon on Corbyn.

The Formation of European Studies
Academic studies of Europe in the postwar period increasingly focused on aspects of European integration. This development was led by contributions from the social sciences, not the humanities. The...

If you are interested in what *might* be a possible “race without racism” conception, see the final footnotes to my recent (and also free!) paper on the formation of European Studies: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Right - culture as a proxy for race: “spiritual racism”. This is something one can see in Husserl but is not, I think, Heidegger’s position (or Spengler’s for that matter) - which is more about a contrast between (anyone) having it and not having it, rather than a hierarchy of types. But it’s crazy…
So the text I’m reading is Heidegger’s Black Notebooks. He doesn’t think the idea of breeding that is internal to the modern theory of race (as he understands it) is necessarily something thought through or thought out teleologically but he does think it has this drive towards deracialisation in it.
Fascinating. I am reading a text atm which argues that European race theory is inseparable from a “progressivist” theory of “breeding” that posits a telos of attained global deracialisation: everyone would have the same “block” characteristics. Marshall would doubtless favour Anglo-Saxon ones.
You don’t need a master’s degree to see Britain depends on foreign students

Leader editorial in the Independent calls for students to be taken out of migration figures, describing UK government policy quite rightly as “asinine”. www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...
And Neurath’s tract is perhaps even less convincing… (I confess, I am trying to do better myself.)
Have you read my work??
Is the Adorno article the same one published under the title “Spengler Today”? That essay is fascinating - and strangely unconvincing in its appeal to a utopian hope in the effort to find a weak point in Spengler’s conception.
I had not heard, so we’ve not already heard.
I thought the tracks I have listened to were hilarious. I really like the juxtaposition of the tunes and lyrics; very simple idea no doubt but also good fun and nicely done.

Perhaps my work in the deconstruction of onto-theology is finally pushing through.
But how will the markets react when they realise that giving up on ontology (the metaphysics of presence) calls for a counter conception best conceived as (to the ear indistinguishable [in French]) hauntology?

Maybe - but you should check out what some humans are doing too though, in “art” making. The awful thing is not what human interactions with LLMs says about LLMs - but what they show up about humans (being sometimes uncannily alike to them).
Shame on the BBC. Who is the more dangerous? An overpaid racist who should be as invisible as his sense of decency - or the publicly funded news organisation that has utterly lost its sense of public service? #BBC get a grip or you will take our democracy down.
The night Shafali Verma defied her destiny, and then owned it
Left out, written off, then crowned Player of the Final in a tournament Shafali Verma wasn't even meant to play. If that's not destiny, what is?

The final was never likely to better India’s win vs Australia in the semifinal - but Harmanpreet Kaur asking the 21 year old opener Shafali Verma to bowl at a very difficult time, when the game was getting away from India, was a match winning leap in the dark. www.espncricinfo.com/story/women-...

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed.
He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.

Some live things; specifically North American live things. There’s a lot of live things going on elsewhere that hardly get a look in on this American-centred (sic) “functional social media site”. Still: I actually do hope you enjoyed the amazing conclusion to the hilariously titled “World Series”.
And so were you @benbraun.bsky.social
Oh! What would be a fair stab at some less sophisticated reasoning on this? Is this more like it: A concern with the personal health risks potentially arising from introducing “big pharma” materials into your body?
Remember Donald Tusk’s remark in November 2019, where he said that "one of my English friends is probably right when he says with melancholy that Brexit is the real end of the British Empire".
@jonathanhopkin.bsky.social - apologies you were meant to be on this list…
Is it this: Many would not die even if they were not vaccinated. But many are alive who would not be if they were not vaccinated. The survival of individuals in the second set contributes to weakening the natural resilience of the herd, making it overall more vulnerable to epidemics etc.

India chasing down Australia’s 338 total in the Women’s Cricket World Cup was utterly mind-blowing.

Yes! Backing into the future. And Benjamin’s “theology-dwarf” was discussed in class today too - with Marxist ontology still carrying it inside itself (as a messianic eschatology).
Sometimes.
Still not a name…
Quiz over.
The answer is (and someone in my class today got it): *Kant should also have a gun* and it should be pointing back in the same way as the others (at “metaphysical jugglers” in fact).
Indeed, all 3 have the same weapon; namely, the critique of “merely formal” conceptions in some domain.
