Even Hobbes, the most notoriously pro authoritarian government philosopher in history, who thought you had to obey even the worst government because it was better than no government, said that if your government just starts killing you, you don't have a social contact.
You don't have a government.

Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing horror and despair, the oftener and the more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above and our capacity for cruelty and indecency within.

The current fascist regime in the USA is pushing the country towards a civil war. Unless the other side starts reacting, they will end up with more and more casualties from a paramilitary force that has been granted absolute immunity. 1/2

If grice hadn’t invented implicature, we never would have gotten hedberg’s perfect ‘I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too’
genuinely think implicature might be the concept invented by analytic philosophy that would be most useful for everyone to know

i suppose it makes sense but it is completely demoralizing that we live in a moment where there is more video/photographic evidence (often from multiple angles) than ever before and also a durable system in place for propagandists to gaslight or convince others into not believing their eyes

This book by Wimsatt is exceptional if you're interested in understanding the world, knowledge, science, etc.
It can be challenging especially in some parts.
But now Johannes Jaeger has written a stand alone accessible paper. I highly recommend it!

A request for my bilingual mutuals: Can you provide your best shot at a *detailed definition* of the concepts BACHELOR and SOLTERO, and an explanation about why they are (or they are not) strict synonyms?

The underlying point is: there is a benefit in experiencing appropriate negative emotions: anger, rage, and the like are good in that they can motivate you to do good things.
But if you're already motivated as much as can be, then experiencing those emotions is literally pain with no gain

LeCun has an ego the size of a small city.
BUT...the divide between him and Marcus is not a divide about ML or DL per se. It's the classic empiricism/rationalism divide, which tech cannot resolve, which is why they talk past one another.

"With the help of Meta’s media lobby he has succeeded in fooling most of the press and some fraction of the public. LeCun has lapped it up, and done absolutely nothing to set the record straight.
But the myths about the originality of his thought simply aren’t true." - @garymarcus.bsky.social

Seems to me that the most important contribution of Philosophy to higher education in general was Ethics, but maybe it was because there was a tacit societal agreement that people should trust experts on knowledge-related stuff. The Internet blew that agreement apart. Now it should be Epistemology!

We should use “centrist slop” to describe the lazy and incoherent arguments centrists endlessly repeat, too
Radical centrist influencers are to the news as AI is to the economy: grift and bubble that nobody really wants and still creates lots of damage
Early Thursday morning CBS News head Bari Weiss announced that she will be putting her "Honestly" podcast on "pause" for the foreseeable future.
