I can't stop hate-posting about Graeber's bureaucracy book, but it's so annoying! How are administrators supposed to reach people, if it's not via e-mails? What could they have done differently for this scenario not to arise?

Is David Graeber's grand anti-bureaucratic strategy just "let's be mean to students"?

Ancient philosophy is 50% profound eternal wisdom and 50% that same exact guy declaring with supreme confidence two paragraphs later that pee is stored in the armpit.
Aristotle in his books on nature insisted men have more teeth than women.

Watched Frankenstein yesterday, and my hot take is that it's pretty bad. An adaptation shouldn't have substantially less to say than its source material, and in a less interesting way. That said, it really looks nice! And the actors are great

This two-part paper is so good and illuminating.
It's quite a bit frustrating that it will probably get less attention than the recent rather ideologically minded "take-downs" of analytic philosophy, even though it provides a much better attempt at actually examining its social history

I love how close this is to Rawls' conception of justice
Gandhi’s Talisman. Unfortunately for too many world leaders their doubts are dissolving in a way Gandhi did not anticipate.
!["I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test.
Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her]. Will he [she] gain anything by it?
Will it restore him [her to a control over his [her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to Swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions?
Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:givg3amslsq46o3f25ga5esh/bafkreihph4ozfme2iadhcvg2jcexzemiif2xgxmhg2jexeknndhuhx2ewy@jpeg)

i think this would be more concerning if i wasn't forced to live on planet earth where i'm constantly bombarded by viewpoints i disagree with (even re: AI, which is one of the example subjects of this discussion).
Again speaking only for myself, I think what's most toxic about this kind of platform is its tendency to reinforce all your priors by ensuring the only way you encounter differing viewpoints is when someone you already agree with reposts the most egregious example so that everyone can pile onto it.

My most conservative take is that, with the probable exemptions of climate change and the atom bomb, all downsides of modern civilisation are absolutely worth it, insofar as they somehow took part in, or are a fallout of, reducing child mortality
