Some in #academia favor teaching students to use AI to produce essays (etc), arguing that the point of comp classes (and the like) is teaching the student to create a certain kind of product. This is not bc of AI - it is the next (il)logical step in Higher Ed's Fetishization of the Thing. (1) 🧵

Misinformation *is* central to democratic problems today, but the solution is *not* to correct such epistemic failures directly. Instead, we must address them at their roots, in social identity.

Or so I argue in a new post for @apaphilosophy.bsky.social.

In the conservative communities I grew up around men used the term jail bait as a perceived compliment... the implied sexual availability, wanted or not, of young women for older men is baked into the cake of conservatism

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed
