I’ve never discovered an acceptance or a rejection by logging into the author portal. I always receive an email. Nevertheless…

Here is a picture of me, brow furrowed, struggling with a notebook in the middle of my talk yesterday. Follow your dreams.

Everyone who does work that is more formal than mine is lost in trivial details and needs to focus on real philosophy. Meanwhile. anyone who does work less formal than mine needs to get serious and quit being so frightened by a little math.

At O’hare. Brandon Johnson’s voice booms through the loudspeaker to inform travelers that they don’t need to leave the airport to experience Chicago. Concourse B is like a slowed down version of Mad Max. My Monster cost $7.58. Judge Dredd levels of dystopian.

Introduction to deontic logic.

One of the nice things about having an office across from the seminar room is that a few times a year someone defends their dissertation and I get to see them walk out once exhausted and nervous and then again with a big smile.

Language of Thought

My wife’s aunt was a storyteller so we have several cassette tapes of stories from my wife’s childhood. My daughter listens to them on a cassette player. I was getting a little tired of frozen and K-pop demon hunters so I got her a new tape. Now she runs around the house going ah-ah-aaaaaahh-ahh

I think they should have to take logic. You should have to take it also.

On very rare occasion I have my students read a paper that I, myself, have not yet read. I did this today, and they read a chapter in a reputable anthology. Each time this happens, I am reminded why I do this so rarely.

you don't have to know about the oscars, timothy chalamet, or michael b. jordan. when people mention them you can just stop reading. you can just play outside with your kid and then play pokemon snap on the n64. it doesn't matter.

Some years ago I bought an analogue pocket to play my (many) old game boy games. I was recently reminded that it runs on FPGA, so I dug around and found some cores online, and one thing led to another. Anyway, here’s Quake on a “Gameboy”.

I prefer Stone Cold Steve Austin over Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson primarily because Stone Cold exhibits far greater epistemic humility.

Most philosophers will not understand, but this is a truly incredible post. A+ 10/10

two weeks later and i still can't get this out of head, especially as i work through some of my first FF games the internet loves to give modern pokemon shit for its graphics, but by refusing to participate in the AAA graphics arms race, they have unambigiously dominated the culture. they won.

Serious Post: quitting nicotine this summer has absolutely devastated my ability to write. This week I finished the first complete draft I've written since I quit. It took almost EIGHT months, but we got there and I never fell off the wagon. I think we're back.
