If you google "dedomestication" the first result will be the wikipedia article on "breeding back", which, according to the wikipedia article itself, should not be confused with "dedomestication."

lmao the end, "I refused to write the required DEI statement and received no job offers or interviews". "incomplete application" is like literally the first filtering mechanism when you're looking at hundreds of applications for one position lol

Eduardo Mendieta has passed away. He was a friend and mentor to me, and he was responsible for so much of the activity in Latin American philosophy in the US in 90s and 00s. He is sorely missed.

Just in time for Xmas 😀 My paper on the absence of sustained discussion of power relations in R. Brandom's inferentialism is out! "Who Gets to Play? Power in the Game of Giving and Asking for Reasons". Abstract 👇 journals.openedition.org/ejpap/5366

Briefly thought of doing this as part of my dissertation when I was but a wee grad student, looks cool

in the movies this is the screensaver on the computers at the world’s most evil company

removing 1 and 2. IME these allowed approaches for responding to prompts can lead to completely undefended or reasoned answers. Without several courses in the field in question for students to serve as calibration for what types of responses are acceptable, you tend to get these types of answers.

People get so mad on the internet they trick themselves or lie about silly shit. Melodrama over the quality of the writing of that OU student assignment. It is a bad assignment. It is not unreadable. It is not the worst student writing you've ever read, not by a longshot, come on now.

I have news. Wonderful news. New paper on #disinformation. The title is the thesis. Think of disinformation as content that functions to optimise the decisions of the audience for the disinformant. This doesn't require deception or content that induces false belief. philpapers.org/rec/LITDIF

#OnThisDay in 1859, Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species was first published. Much of the original manuscript was used as scrap paper by Darwin's children. On the back of this painting of a house is an original manuscript page from Origin! #CambridgeUniversityLibrary (DAR 185)

It is not just up to you what you signal though! :(

had an idea for a powerful new subway ad campaign

We *know* shockingly little about prehistory—we *speculate* about it, in ways that tend to reaffirm our own assumptions and biases, and then these speculations become sage wisdom about human nature, but only to the exact extent that they assert that women evolved to make sandwiches.

I have to say, in the long history of “Marx failed to consider” takes by internet reply-guys, “Marx failed to consider the use-value of warm coats” should win its own category of award

She's right

Letitia Meynell and I have a new paper out! We revisit the Gaia hypothesis and try to defend the idea and reality of Gaia from some of the main criticisms that led to its dismissal. Thread 1/9 doi.org/10.1007/s105...

Take heart, Canadians. More of us live in LA than Winnipeg, so LA is basically a Canadian city!

Married her yesterday.

i'm a deleuzean in the very specific sense that i spiritually align with the freaks but i really like hanging out at home

The funny thing about the invention of the wheel is the guy who invented it died penniless. It wasn't until much much later that pennies were invented

Mamdani's brazen lie has infected many of our nation's children. Reports from all over the country of kids calling people who are not their parents' siblings "unc"

Sorry I can't get over this but it's just so funny to say "The test starts off with giraffes and elephants but the questions get way harder than that"

Briefly went on the other site and lol

It becomes a bit more understandable when you note that the "young researcher" in question is 11 years post-PhD and has been a professor for that same amount of time and has tenure. Personally I think it's near-certain they have heard of the second shift, given their research profile.

Forgive me, Chicago, I was not aware of your game

Whenever I see people in this admin brazenly lie or Trump say incoherent shit I think of clips of politics in other countries where sometimes other politicians yell at the president or PM or whatever and idly wonder whether it would make any difference to get interrupted and called out mid-lie

Its actually about how bandwagon fans are evil and those that stick with a team through good and bad days are better people. The child is a representation of being in a coma when your team wins the superbowl and you don't get to see it.

When humans were evolving on the veldt, we never encountered any crappy evolutionary psychology arguments. That's why we never evolved defenses against them.

Maybe he's just a big and dumb fan of Death in June

Happy for my Canadian friends cheering for the blue jays, sad that I must root for los doyers to crush them

republicans love to call trayvon martin a thug and then when some vile racism leaks go 'please show some empathy. he's a mere child, a babe, a lamb. it's so unfair to expect a poor 32 year old who works full time in politics to not be racist'

R&R is now an acceptance, hell yea

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

easy for me to say as another Large Account perhaps but: the idea that how you should treat another grown adult turns directly on which of you has more followers is among the most "please touch grass" opinions I encounter on here - and I am a leftist anime enjoyer

police are gangs that we all collectively pretend answer to elected officials because the truth is scary i'm not even properly an anarchist but i thought we all knew this

My little book on Schrödinger's famous classic 'What Is Life?' is out! Offering the most comprehensive analysis ever undertaken of the book's origins, reception, impact, and legacy, it uncovers Schrödinger's motivations in writing it, and shows how it has shaped our current understanding of the cell

“What’s your barber name?” is crazy 😂

the fact that there's an energy source responsible for life on earth that will just keep stably emitting tons of energy for another five billion years and that the most powerful country in the world has an administration that wants to wholly reject harnessing it is crazy

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics, making them even more beautiful than before. Here’s a fine example in our favourite local Japanese restaurant.
