I’m excited to announce the release of my latest article, published in Logos & Episteme. I defend Wittgenstein’s private language argument from Scott Soams' accusations of ambiguity and collapse. #Philosophymatters #Philosophy #PhilosophyPapers #PhilSky #PhDSky #Wittgenstien #PrivateLanguage

In this I tell Joe Davidson how Trump/Musk might turn their attack on federal workers, their agencies, & their rights to bargain collectively into another PATCO moment, hurting not only feds and their unions, but all workers and unions--as happened under Reagan--only worse this time bit.ly/41II3uR

What’s the opposite of woke? Sleepwalking into brutal dictatorship.

"Not only this, but the Modern Academic must toil under the weight of the extant literature. This literature lives within the lights of the computer. The Academic stares into the lights. Night after night. Day after day. Yes, it is intellectual, but physico-muscular, too." #sociology

Some think it's unfair that people should receive recompense for injustice done to their ancestors. Yet it's widely accepted that people should inherit the wealth and status their ancestors accrued. If success can be inherited, why can't harm?

There's something quintessentially postmodern about not giving a shit about actually challenging plutocratic rule; instead substituting by taking on the woke cultural platitudes articulated by symbolic capitalists and liberal elites.

One thing legal scholars can do is to make it known that every time the trump admin cites rights and rules, they are really talking about something else. Eg “free speech” = “You speak only what I like.” Or explain better what we mean by “first amendment lochnerism.” academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...
