saukare.bsky.social @saukare.bsky.social · 18/09/2026no this is the usual configuration: STEM often wants language to be a transparent medium for accessing the world; humanities understands that language is its own world. (You could ask: do you write about your method or is writing your method?) 011

saukare.bsky.social @saukare.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Hmm... yes, but given the necessity of making omissions, what is omitted vs what is retained is probably worth discussing. And Nolan did draw material from Virgil et al. to add to the story, so this is not just about economy 000
saukare.bsky.social @saukare.bsky.social · 28/07/2026i don’t dispute this, but (to an outsider at least) US popular culture has contributed to a representational skew—there are Jewish characters in most of my favourite teevee shows! if i didnt think too much about it, i might assume the average USian knows more Jewish people than i do 200
saukare.bsky.social @saukare.bsky.social · 24/07/2026I appreciate this perspective, but do think some friction is essential to learning. Sometimes you need to encounter a new context and try to make sense of it in its entangled complexity, rather than isolate the appropriable elements for your own context. 010
saukare.bsky.social @saukare.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Is this an after-effect of our leaders and institutions all but giving up on addressing climate change--accompanied by very obvious, everyday reminders that the change is real and substantial and affecting us all? Is it displacement of something big like that? I honestly don't know. 020
