"Money, again, has often been a cause of the delusion of multitudes. (...) To trace the history of the most prominent of these delusions is the object of the present pages. Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds (...)" -- Charles Mackay (1841)

Same. Philosophy shouldn’t have to justify itself instrumentally by supplying skills to other “practical” fields. The value of philosophy lies in how it expands your horizons, how it forces you to think differently and deeply about the world.

it is nearly impossible for new artists, animators, or programmers to share their work without a swath of people accusing it of being AI. the only way to avoid that is to have proof that your project existed before gen AI. i think this ignorance ultimately helps normalize AI more than anything.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Detail of a 17th century painting called Still life of fish by Joannes Fijt. There's a grey and white cat behind a wooden tub, surrounded by fish and crab. The cat's face is wonderfully derpy. Picture taken at Snijder & Rockox House, Antwerp.

And this is why - even if you personally don't agree with it - sex work needs to be decriminalized and treated as any other job. Because the people in charge set the rules on what 'unacceptable' work is, and one day that could be whatever it is you're doing.

ADHD is both real and a social construct. 'Neurodevelopmental disorders' in general are both real and socially constructed. Lots of things are both real and social constructs: money, the economy, gender, society. I'm sick of people talking like 'social construct' is a synonym for 'fake'.

Peter Singer, for example, has implied that disability studies is an “activist” field due to it’s advocacy position in behalf of disabled folks; similarly, feminism and queer philosophy were positioned as “activist” fields in their move towards establishment by philosophers across the discipline.

I'm not too fond of this idea of remaking art just to make it more palatable to a newer generation. Books, movies, games...as long as they're accessible to younger audiences (meaning they can be read, viewed, played by anyone, anywhere) I don't see what more we should do.
