There's no single atrocity that one can imagine that the Zionists are incapable of perpetrating, no depravity that they are yet to revel in. In that senseâin finally exhausting language and fantasyâit truly is fitting that they represent the last of Western humanism.

Genuinely mystified by the large Iranian delegation to Islamabad. It seems obvious to me that the U.S. and Israel will murder them on their way back if thereâs no deal?

USians are probably the most preachy, pedantic, drillmasterish, âlet me speak to the managerâ people in the world so it makes perfect sense that they derive inordinate pleasure from pretending that they love art for artâs sake.

Habermasâs support for the genocidal Israeli state in some ways rung the death knell for North Atlantic political liberalism far more than almost any other development in the intellectual history of the 21st century.

My favourite assignment to grade this semester is the annotation assignment. Students actually read, offer their thoughts, and I am able to glean how well they are able to process this, and then apply to writing assignments. Cannot recommend it enough!

Arguably, one of the weakest features of state (Iran, Venezuela, Cuba) and para-state (Hezbollah) leadership formations in the crosshairs of NATO and Zionist terrorism has been their pragmatism.

One can tell the U.S. is an empire of evangelicals, salespeople, agony aunts, and pedagogues because they find unthinkable the very idea of utterances not intended to persuade, communicate, connect, or influence.

The perennial Bluesky sniping between the âI do not regret to inform you that we are going to winâ true believers and what they perceive to be their antagonistsâpessimists, doomers, and catastrophistsâis a baked in feature of affirmative culture.

You won't get the analytic philosophers to let go of their epistemic + noun fetish. The best you can do is steer them to another word they can obsess over. What word should that be?

Itâs very funny to me that centuries into the future when scholars attempt to recover the lost knowledges destroyed in The Great Agnotology of 2025, their minds will be blown by basic analytic insights like: âThink relationally, not essentially.â âAlways historicize.â

It is very much a part of the rightwingâs anti-politics to declare the political a brute, emotive, non-cognitive zone of indistinction.

I think one of the most important lessons humanists impart to undergrads is why a statement like âthis is politicalâ is not some thought-terminating moral judgment but rather an invitationâthe beginning, evenâof critical inquiry.

I donât think we talk enough about how the differences between academic and journalist epistemes is part the dynamic driving the woke/anti-woke social media/little magazine wars. Especially true as these differences have become even more blurred as the university and media industries collapse.

I simply canât overemphasize enough that the single most important requirement that'll earn you a commission to write books in and around African political and intellectual history in North Atlantic literary pubs is that you have to be utterly and irredeemably asinine.

There are any number of things a person can say about the uses and abuses of AI, but any honest engagement must start by acknowledging and working through the implications of the actually existing forces, structures, and magnates that run and control universities.
