Something I’ll be talking about in a November conference paper is how many horrible fucking pedophiles (+pedo enablers) work on ancient pedophilia or pederasty to justify their actions and proximity to power

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I am tired of having to pretend that the value of studying my discipline solely rests on the "marketable skills" we teach. Sometimes things are just worth knowing and doing because they make your life bigger and richer.

I ran into this all the time teaching aesthetics + art/music history! People don't all agree about anything ever! and certainly not what makes good art. There's always somebody reacting to the new trend by doing the opposite, and the oldheads who hate change, the spinoffs and satires...

Why Bridging Simon Edvinsson Is A High-Risk Play

Honestly, I think a lot of this comes out of spaces and situations where intentionally reading 'the enemy' - be that a high school rival, a political outsider, another academic, whatever - in bad faith is rewarded as a display of group solidarity, a demonstration of belonging through hate.

in the long run it's hard to make out the difference between behavior caused by a lack of skill and behavior caused by lack of incentive, since ceteris paribus you'd expect either over time to produce the other. but these changes are recent enough that we can probably sort out which is the culprit

One of the fun parts of parenting is you can tell your kids about something all you want but once they learn it somewhere else it’s, “Mom, sit down you will not believe this,” and you just smile and nod.

I think there's something to be said for how much we want even our enemies to go out with respect and dignity. They've earned a chance to end their careers the way we hope to end ours. And any dad getting hugged that tightly by his daughter while he cries is doing something right off the field.

This, from Dennett, I wish I'd taken to heart earlier in my life. www.themarginalian.org/2014/03/28/d...

How to compose a successful critical commentary:

1 You should attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly, and fairly that your target says, “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it that way.”
2 You should list any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3 You should mention anything you have learned from your target.
4 Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

The thing about actual Roman damnationes memoriarum is that they didn't really obliterate all memory of a bad emperor. None of our sources are afraid to talk about these figures. It wasn't truly about forgetting the guy, but about abolishing his (positive) public commemoration.

Every one of those brave and inspiring people you hear about on the news was exhausted and terrified the whole time. They were sad and angry and wanted to crawl into a hole and not come out. They wished they could have stayed in bed. Then they did it anyway. But they did it scared and sad and tired.
