“I have zero introspection…400 years ago it would never have occurred to anyone to be introspective”. Andreessen’s combo of neurodivergence, vast wealth, airport book executive summary knowledge and intense white guy sense of personal centrality should be studied by future historians

I enjoyed this recent @mattpolprof.bsky.social piece on Habermas, which makes the sympathetic observation that Habermas *wanted* philosophy to be dull and difficult, if by that you mean modest and respectful of the arguments of others www.liberalcurrents.com/also-a-revie...

liberalcurrents.com

Also a Review of Habermas

Is Habermas a titan of recent philosophy or a stodgy academic lacking a burning political vision?

In British "democracy", the media cannot call the far right "far right" for fear of being sued but spreading reactionary conspiracy theories is fair game Interestingly too, media reform is not on the agenda of mainstream parties 🤔

I know DC is still digging out of the snowstorm and the roads aren’t clear. But someone needs to head over to Matt Ygelsias’s house and give the guy a wedgie. This is a wedgie-emergency. He is begging you to give him one.

A former scholar of the far right will stand as a far-right candidate in the U.K. Anyone who knows Matt, or has followed his career, will not be surprised by this. It is, nevertheless, a good reminder that the tides have turned and the grift is moving (far) right these days, also within academia.

This is very good but in a way the conclusion is even worse than @newlefteviews.bsky.social describes. The power to be prioritised in the next crisis imv will sit with major hedge funds who are now guardians or purveyors of liquidity in Treasuries and Gilts. unherd.com/2026/01/the-...
