It is not as if the founders had much time for abstract ideas about what society they wanted.

The financial crisis and recession starting in Spring 2027 just as the Dem led congress takes over will sweep Trump Junior into office in 2028.

But we can take comfort in the knowledge that Trump will find a way to bankrupt those oil companies, the final nail in the oil industry’s coffin.

The ‘danger’ this signals is not that Trump will be a loser but that he’ll be a bad one.

Sorry to hear that

David Hunter @dhunterto.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Exactly. He’d probably injure the President if he tired. That’d be bad for national security

Trump doesn’t open his own umbrella because of national security

I am surprised it is only 44% because it is included by default now in every computer program.

Our first mortgage, in Buffalo in 1998, was 7.25% and nobody could believe it was so low.

That’s a nice Medicare system you have. Would be a shame if anything were to happen to it……

—No, but we did make a small number of people so wealthy that they each had more money than the rest of us combined.

Right! He is doing remarkably well for a deeply stupid, rapist, racist, multiply-bankrupted, conman, sex-trafficker-buddy, convicted felon.

He also thinks SCOTUS will let him build whatever monuments to himself he wants so long as there is a national security angle.

Agree about trolling. Sterelny’s position (afaict) is that there is no a priori-a posteriori distinction. Not that there is a clear distinction and philosophy can only be done properly on one side. But maybe I’m missing some point

David Hunter @dhunterto.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
I agree with Sterelny: a posteriori philosophy is a waste of time. (His reason for saying that A Priori philosophy is a waste of time is that there is no a priori-a posteriori distinction.)

That’s interesting. My contract includes service to the profession as a duty

Of course I’m not defending the Journal’s bossy email.

But you get paid for it. Just like you get paid for department service even though it too mostly counts for nothing.

Doesn’t your university work include service to the profession?

Maybe if we all said that the US got $50 Billion more in stuff than Canada this simpleton would take his nap.
