This might be the last hurrah for my book, as the paperback is now out! I had absolutely no luck getting it reviewed anywhere, so here is my last ditch attempt to market my odd book about Max Stirner, modernism and manifestos:

Why read Lacan, why learn all these super-subtle forms of ideological critique, when the big guy is out there posting diarrhoea jet fighter videos. What are we doing here.

Great paper outlining the fundamental flaws of using AI detection tools in educational institutions.

Any student accused by one of these tools should submit the paper as part of their case.

Any university using the tool is asking to get sued, with this paper being submitted as evidence.

Great to work on this with such clever and wonderful people! AI detectors don't work and don't belong in education, whatever you think of genAI!

It was really amazing today to hear Prof. Dr. Siegbert Peetz speak on Schelling's System of the Ages of the World. Dr. Peetz's paper was titled 'Aionische Theophanie – Schellings Transformation der Metaphysik in seiner Vorlesung „System der Weltalter.“

What the absolute fuck is this

Also, I still cannot understand how Bill Shorten has not been widely condemned as ratting on the labour movement for taking up a managerial position where he sits in opposition to the union (also looking at you Grant Robertson at Otago)
Absolutely horrific concepts for the university sector from Bill Shorten, now VC of the University of Canberra. A vision for the utter decimation of higher education

Labor rat whose job now requires him to thwart the NTEU wants to eviscerate higher ed and turn it into something that could scarcely even be called a TAFE? A small man with a smaller mind
