Philosopher. Ethics. Epistemology. Race. In my expert opinion everything is terrible (except dogs).
If we just hang out and talk philosophy you’ll see it’s fun and worthwhile and something to look forward to.

I find this a lot in people’s explanations of why public philosophy is important eg “the public is stupid and need us to teach them cRiTiCaL tHiNkInG” is so deeply insulting. Stop talking down, you’re not as smart as you think you are. Can’t we think *together* instead or just provide *space*???
