Really pushing the limits of contextually restricted quantification.

Weak man 1: What's the plan today? Weak man 2: I dunno. I was thinking about creating some hard times. Weak man 3: omg I am so down dude. Weak man 1: Count me in, bro.

I've carefully considered it, and I've decided that I'd like some information. I'm not picky about what kind: true, false, Shannon, whatever. I just want some information.

Philosophy party at my house tonight. A.Y.O.A. (Arrive with Your Own Arguments)

Only three wishes and I can't wish for more wishes? Fine, I wish that I CAN wish for more wishes, and then I wish for more wishes. This does not take a genius.

Since I quit nicotine, every time I sit down to write, I feel like I chugged one of these.

Pumped for this. The 1983 original is absolutely ridiculous and one of my wife's favorites. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-_M...

I thought "groyper" was a word for some kind of generic right wing troll, like "chud". Recent revelations have disabused me of my ignorance, and now I understand that it is something far more specific. Thanks internet.

This fool is just salty that I would LIGHT HIS ASS UP in Goldeneye 007.

Time to write a paper defending an iteration principle about scolding: If one is scoldable for doing x, then one is also scoldable for scolding someone for doing x. “The SS Principle” doesn’t seem like a great name so I propose calling it “the tsk-tsk principle.”

Being a parent is weird because so many of the other parents are in this strangely overt competition over whose baby is the biggest or the smartest. What these idiots don’t realize is that MY baby is the biggest and the smartest.

Watching Sam Sulek videos has done irreparable damage to the youth’s ability to lift weights properly. They focus on exotic variations of exercises that they cannot correctly perform in their standard form, e.g. narrow stance, heels raised squat.

"Chat" is just a contemporary version of "dear reader". In the future, it will sound quaint.

I'm shocked, pleased, baffled, and frustrated to report that several applications *just work* on my 10 yr old budget clanker running linux mint, but they fight me every step of the way on my new mac. It's unclear what advantages the mac offers so long as this is the case.

You mean to tell me that, on condition that p, not p must follow? Well, this p sounds entirely ridiculous and absurd! It simply must be false, this p.

The bots are back on philpapers/philpeople.

Going to begin referring to all anime as “Ghibli adjacent”.

I did not know that drugs battling drugs and violence was this big of a problem.

While it's true that epistemic injustice is a popular topic in the literature, metaphysicians can take solace in the fact that the literature on metaphysical injustice, which of course, is just regular injustice, is much larger and extends well beyond contemporary analytic philosophy.

I normally like to keep it lighthearted, but the entire ROTC squad was at the gym today to record PRs. What I saw and heard was pathetic. If there is a war in the near future America is doomed.

Neighborhood in the streets, relational in the sheets.

I'm not TT so it's kind of a situationship.

scope ambiguity

If I could make a tweet, let alone a published journal article, that wasn’t riddled with typos that would be great. This is a bridge too far, apparently.

Going to start presenting my milquetoast political opinions as if they extreme or remarkable (brave). To separate myself from the pack, I plan to use a rhetorical device known as satire (clever). You, dear reader, will like the result (popular).

guys twitter is getting good again

"you cannot say rude things about my waifu" is a disease academics must purge. because it is endemic with medievalists here

Tom Clancy’s Aspects of a Theory of Syntax

Could we all agree not to talk about AI for just one day? Just one day is all I ask.

espn is on at the gym and they’ve spent the past 20 minutes on taylor swift’s engagement hell yeah dude

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

Seriously considering running some manner of fighting game/retro game tournament (after hours) at the eastern APA this year. Tentative title: Strong Player’s Ball I’d hope there is some interest, but historically, philosophers have been super flaky on this sort of thing. Whose tryna?

This semester, prolific ethicist and wealthy business mogul Patrick Skeels will be teaching three sections of business ethics, a course dedicated to his unique interests and expertise.

The html embedding tool on canvas is unusable. It was both faster and more effective for me to learn some html and do the entire page manually. Not having to do this is the purpose of the tool.

Look, I’m a tolerant guy, but K-Pop Demon Hunters is NOT an anime, and I cannot remain peaceful if you continue to insist that it is.

she saturate my concept til i refer

Sinn UND bedeutung? In this economy?

Ontological full ROM

Ontological full ROM

Visited Buc-ees for the first time ever on a road trip to Tennessee. It’s like if In N Out was a a gas station where you can also buy a case for your gun. Hell yeah, 10/10.

So Nick Cave donated the issue of Mind with Alan Turing’s paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” to @oxfamgb.bsky.social - and it sold for £7000! (Image from Oxfam on Instagram)

If the thesis that the mind is a computer is a metaphor then the thesis that a computer is a computer is a metaphor also.

“We’d be grateful to receive a report within a month” lol yeah me too

unrealistic beauty standards for philosophers of mind.

Forced to stare at myself as I edit lecture videos. That hairline has seen better days.

Hume was right we need to go back to calling all non-philosophers “the vulgar”

Just calling them “ersatz worlds” because you don’t want to do metaphysics is, unironically, a galaxy brained move.
