My 4 yo was looking over my shoulder and said “I think those are bad guys trying to take her, and she’s yelling help”
Video shows immigration agents dragging Minneapolis woman out of her car. This is unconstitutional. All of them need to be prosecuted and sent to jail.

1. Texas A&M has banned a philosophy teacher from teaching Plato because it has "gender ideology" in it.
The banning stems from excerpts from Plato’s Aristophanes’ Myth of the Split Humans and Diotima’s Ladder of Love.

Texas A&M Bans Philosophy Prof. From Teaching Plato Because of "Gender Ideology"
“Silencing 2,500-year-old ideas from one of the world’s most influential thinkers betrays the mission of higher education.”

Things like student loan debt is great, because it puts workers into massive debt before going into the workforce, which gives capitalists leverage over us.
But really it doesn't go far enough. We should just be born with debt. Babies have been getting off scot-free for far too long.

I am so grateful to read this thoughtful and interesting review of my book! I love the way that it focuses on "interdependence," a concept central to the land ethic and to environmental conservation in general.

From tomorrow - the Josiah Royce Lectures at Brown.
Apt choice by Brown Philosophy of the photo of me in a western shirt. Royce was born in Grass Valley in the Sierra foothills (California), in 1855.

Another reminder that this online event will take place this Friday. I might be alone representing the West Coast (it's at 7am PT) but hope colleagues from other time zones consider stopping by and joining the discussion. My talk will be not-so-subtly titled "Replication Is (Not)".
OK I had announced this before but forgot to say that Andrew Gelman would be joining Nancy Cartwright and myself as well. Short idea talks, lots of panel discussion and Q&A.
Join us on April 25th to discuss RCTs, replications, and scientific inference.
