jaydeedubyu.bsky.social @jaydeedubyu.bsky.social · 01/12/2025There's a 1967 Candid Camera where the principal tells teachers the students will grade the teachers, including on their "inspirational qualities". Teachers reactions are impressive.... a clip: 161

He seems always to want to have in hand some socialistic plaything or other. Just now it is a municipal power plant." 828781

Andrew Cuomo does not. 463872617

But ... the degree and the quality of definiteness and of simplicity, or elementariness, required, are determined by the problem that evokes and controls inquiry” 100
jaydeedubyu.bsky.social @jaydeedubyu.bsky.social · 05/03/2025178 "Propositions are vague when ... they do not delimit the problem sufficiently to indicate what kind of a solution is relevant. It is hardly necessary to say that when we don't know the conditions constituting a problem we are trying to solve, our efforts at solution at best will be fumbling..." 100
jaydeedubyu.bsky.social @jaydeedubyu.bsky.social · 05/03/2025He gets into the problem of the "vague" proposition, the idea of a proposition wherein we're trying to figure things out and we get results that are neither true nor false, but that do help us better to formulate the problem. 100
jaydeedubyu.bsky.social @jaydeedubyu.bsky.social · 05/03/2025It's all over his Logic. But yeah, that tome is kind of a heavy lift. Dewey has some IMO interesting argument on this in his 1941 response to Russell ("Propositions, warranted assertibility, and truth") in the Journ of Philosophy (complaining that Russell misunderstood the Logic) 110
