If you think Chomsky gets burned in the Epstein files, wait until you read @tonychemero.bsky.social (2009) on the poverty of stimulus argument.

To be complety honest, I don't miss the days when the US pretended wars to be about human rights and democracy.

I just made the experiment of taking out the word "enactive" and its cognates from an enactivist analysis of medical practice via an ethnography, and everything just equally made sense. So maybe we don't have to commit to a specific view of cognition to do good interpretative social science?

The usual fans of pop-science rarely engage with explorations of contingency, cooperation, relationality, and system-level emergence.

It's crazy how the favorite songs of a 76 year old person who's trained in classical music and who's had a unique life --traveling around the world, meeting a crazy list of VIPs-- are pretty much taken from the Billboard top 40. He really is the most boring human alive.

I feel like I won't like Balatro that much, even though I like poker and sort of liked (but not became hooked on) Slay the Spire, the only turned base roguelike I've ever played. It sounds unappealing on paper. Still, I'm afraid to try it because I've heard of folks getting really obsessed.

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I think your team might be conducting a survey by sending some automated messages on your behalf in Substack without disclosing it's a chatbot. It's kind of embarrassing for us to answer the first message without knowing it beforehand.

Suppose the US became a Canadian province and at the same time Canada became a U state. Call this a non-well founded country (even ig countries are not sets). Has something like this ever happened in history?

Given the importance of the subject, it's crazy how there are probably less than 50 philosophers constantly publishing (say, at least every 2 years) works on social epistemology. If we include adjacent topics, such as trust and conspiracy theories, I don't think it's more than 200.

I was watching a video blaming the financial failure of Mortal Kombat 1 on two characters being reimagined as non-white women. As always, the stated complain isn't that, but the fact that "they changed the character too much." But somehow this seems to come up only when it's non-white women.

My opinion after two days of using Substack: I started checking it out (only the free content) to read Paul Krugman. I like the idea of a platform that notifies you when someone writes about X or Y, although I'm still not entirely clear on the consequences of its monetization scheme …
