So… The air of superiority that one acquires by dint of being stupid…. All that is unfortunate. But you’ve got to have a relation, at the extreme, only with what you love.

The succession of philosophers is not an eternal sequence of sages, still less a historical sequence, but a broken succession, a succession of comets. Their discontinuity and repetition do not amount to the eternity of the sky which they cross, nor the historicity of the earth which they fly over.

Generally, it works both ways: no one wants to be my disciple any more than I wanted to have any. A “school” is awful for a very simple reason: a “school” takes a lot of time, one turns into an administrator. Consider philosophers who have their own “school”:

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.
Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals
This is a HUGE breach.

Tidligere i år meldte vi et forskningsprosjekt til redelighetsutvalget ved OUS og UiO.
Nå er forskerne felt for alvorlige brudd på forskningsetiske normer.

History, according to Foucault, circumscribes us and sets limits, it doesn't determine what we are, but what we're in the process of differing from; it doesn't fix our identity, but disperses it into our essential otherness. That's why Foucault deals with recent short historical series

Desire, or, it matters little, the unconscious: it is not imaginary or symbolic, it is uniquely machinic and as long as you have not reached the region of the machine of desire, as long as you remain in the imaginary, the structural or the symbolic, you do not have a genuine hold on the unconscious.

It’s up to the discretion of RFK Jr to define what ”medically frail” is when it comes to potential Medicaid work requirement exemptions—which may play a huge role in deciding which chronically ill and disabled people could qualify. My latest for @motherjones.com.

RFK Jr. is getting personal authority over who to kick off of Medicaid
“It's just a way of cutting people off of coverage and then blaming them for it.”

Oh man, we told a bunch of people to focus on a particular job like coding and now there's less demand for that job and those people are out of work? Wild. Anyway, happy to announce my new center for training hundreds of PhDs in the philosophy of AI!
