Immigration history in all its cruelty and absurdity.

And fuck you @sanders.senate.gov for applauding these barbarisms that have found ever more cruel execution...

The United States frankly doesn't have serious and humane leftist representation to speak of

One paradox that Deacon helped me see is the semantic absence in any and every symbolic representation. He doesn't make the further claim about "meanings not being in the head" independent of brain activity, thus being purely a social affair, but he's significantly externalist in his schtick..1/n

Kind of thing that hits your mind when the introduction to a book starts with "All nature as it is in itself, consists of two things: there are bodies and there is void in which these bodies are and through which they move"

Of quick and informative narrative histories

He once referred me to this book when I asked him about his comment at the end of the video about certain periods in philosophy containing some of the richest psychosocial insights he knows... though he strongly recommends deviating from that tradition in its dualistic assumptions.It's more of a 1/2
