I thoroughly enjoyed talking about Iris Murdoch (and my recent book on her early philosophical writings) with Christopher Satoor from The Young Idealist (who's in the midst of a series of similar videos on the life and work of women in the history of philosophy!) #philsky #philosophy

At this point, Republicans are fighting so hard to spread disease, you'd think germs were campaign donors. I look into how the eugenicist impulse, which was once on the fringe of the GOP, is fueling this "unleash the plague" era for Republicans. www.salon.com/2025/02/05/u...

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?

This is insane. We have an all out attack on our government and the major news agencies in the United States are practically silent on this. What is going down right now is downright terrifying and I can't help but think something terrible is about to happen.

Listening to REM's Murmer for the first time in maybe a decade and thinking about 'Moral Kiosk'. What is a moral kiosk? A small shop selling moral theories/opinions? And why is it more attractive to be jnside? And has anyone worked this song into a moral philosophy paper? So many questions.

Late to the party but I miss seeing what everyone in philosophy, psych, etc. is thinking about! Social epistemologists, cognitive scientists, and other co-conspirators: What's one project you're working on that you're excited about? 🤓
