Its also a huge, glaring omission for NYT to not mention the role of Bessel van der Kolk in the debacle of The Tell. He set the foundation for recovery of repressed memories to be casually accepted and promoted the book with a blurb.

Thinking of Richard Laviolette.

It is heartening to come online here and see there are people more knowledgeable than myself, working through and on difficult stuff, and sharing that knowledge and work with us; sometimes even for free.

Every time I talk about how there is growing antisemitism on a segment of the American left, who are being pushed towards conspiracism by legitimate anger at Israel's genocide in Gaza, a whole lot of leftists who insist they are in no way antisemitic are nonetheless convinced I'm talking about them.

Now listened all the way through and repeat my recommendation. But not for squeamish, since has EHCR and Refugee Conv gone in 10 y, possible Farage PM, mass deportation in near future, and EU transformed into vehicle of pan-Euro exclusionary "Christian" nationalism. All avoidable if we fight back.

Read @mattpolprof.bsky.social’s review of Volumes I & II of Habermas’ Also a History from earlier this year alongside his new review of Volume III. Thought provoking and challenging stuff. christiansocialism.com/2025/03/19/j...

Looking forward to participating in this workshop. I’ll be talking about whether there’s a human right to participate in science.

‘One veteran shaman, returning from his first experience performing at a top-dollar eco-lodge, asked the ayahuasca researcher Stephan Beyer why these people had come halfway round the world to see him when they weren’t sick.’ @mikejay.bsky.social on shamanism: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

In the 80s I went to a lecture by a Bulgarian political philosopher. The whole lecture was delivered with his back to the audience writing incomprehensible symbols on the board. He said afterward that they’d developed this habit so the secret police watching would think they were doing maths.
