Anyway if you're a very sharp analyst within a particular discipline/policy domain, then becoming successful and subsequently succumbing to the temptation of all-purpose punditry is one of the most dangerous roads to damnation.

Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

Feminism is when you let women be all girly and the more girly they are the more feminist the workplace is.

Yes. The response to “We are so divided!” is “Yes, yes we are. And given the choices of some of our coreligionists, we better be.”
Just shouting “Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!” to every word of this @schlesingene.bsky.social piece: eugenerschlesinger.substack.com/p/the-only-a...

I’m not sure anyone is doing public philosophy quite as effectively as Botton’s the School of Life—quibbles about oversimplification and certain ideological commitments aside, which are always going to be trade-offs when doing practical philosophy for non-expert public consumption.

The reprehensible aspect of wanting his wife to convert is not the desire to share one’s religious convictions with a partner; it’s the insistence on an exclusivist understanding of God’s love which easily damns anyone who believes otherwise, and which makes aggressive proselytizing seem benevolent.

Already in 2022, David argued that, in fixing norms in ecclesial rule and communal “plausibility structures,” postliberalism forecloses prereflective openness and downgrades unrestricted historical criticism, thereby collapsing the kerygma-history dialectic into confessionalism.
There’s no such thing as liberal postliberalism. There is postliberalism that fully accepts its consequences and postliberalism that tries to feign ignorance about its implications.

Academic theology always feels like you should know something about everything which is a sure way to not knowing anything about anything.
At least in theology, I think we still run on the idea that a theologian has to know everything that a “good” theologian should know. But that horizon is so huge no one could possibly achieve it. One has to spend time deciding what to know. And grasping its constraints.

I say this as someone who has found reading Heidegger profitable. We, in fact, probably do not need any more major conferences on Heidegger any time soon.

Xian centrism, often citing the tired and doubtful Pauline passage, “our struggle is not against flesh and blood” is just one more form of tacit approval for the status quo by people who are still too comfortable to reckon with the political realities their tradition has helped produce.

Buddy called their elderly mother, whose husband is disabled, to check in about groceries because SNAP expires on Nov 1. She said she was glad Trump is kicking immigrants off welfare. Depressingly true that “Many Americans want bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.”
