Big Government vs small farmer
This kind of problem is fixable. The more people aware of food quality and the importance of small farms, the better. We go out of our way to buy good food from quality local farmers. ABN

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson
To give the public what they do not want, and yet expect to be supported: we have there a strange pretension, and yet not uncommon, above all with painters. The first duty in this world is for a man to pay his way; when that is quite accomplished, he may plunge into what eccentricity he likes; but emphatically not till then.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman Who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3More about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-robert-lou…

My new essay Objectivity Is Illusion: An Operating Model of Social and Moral Reasoning is now archived with a DOI.
I argue that what passes as “objectivity” is consensus disguised as granite. Truth is rhetorical, morality prescriptive, and our real obligation is care: tending the scaffolding we walk on.

The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or perchance a palace or temple on the earth, and at length the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed of them.
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer

Survey of Pragmatic Semiotic Information • 8
• https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/03/01/survey-of-pragmatic-semiotic-information-8/This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on a theory of information which grows out of pragmatic semiotic ideas. This line of inquiry is more open‑ended than most. The question is —
• What is information and how does it impact the spectrum of activities answering to the name of inquiry?
Setting out on what would become his lifelong quest to explore and explain the “Logic of Science”, C.S. Peirce pierced the veil of historical confusions obscuring the issue and fixed on what he called the “laws of information” as the key to solving the puzzle.
The first hints of the Information Revolution in our understanding of scientific inquiry may be traced to Peirce’s lectures of 1865–1866 at Harvard University and the Lowell Institute. There Peirce took up “the puzzle of the validity of scientific inference” and claimed it was “entirely removed by a consideration of the laws of information”.

If you've got half an hour free during the day, this is a rather interesting conversation with #philosopher, or 'metaethicist', Simon Blackburn. The discussion touches on #ethics, #pragmatism, #truth, #Rorty, #Ryle, #Nietzsche, #perspectivism, and plenty more.
In one section he cites #Russell on #Bradley, which made me think of you @PeterSjostedtH

• http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2023/07/23/survey-of-pragmatic-semiotic-information-7/This is a Survey of blog and wiki posts on a theory of information which grows out of pragmatic semiotic ideas. All my projects are exploratory in character but this line of inquiry is more open‑ended than most. The question is —

Setting out on what would become his lifelong quest to explore and explain the “Logic of Science”, C.S. Peirce pierced the veil of historical confusions obscuring the issue and fixed on what he called the “laws of information” as the key to solving the puzzle.

There Peirce took up “the puzzle of the validity of scientific inference” and claimed it was “entirely removed by a consideration of the laws of information”.
Fast forward to the present and I see the Big Question as follows. Having gone through the exercise of comparing and contrasting Peirce's theory of information, however much it yet remains in a rough‑hewn state, with Shannon's paradigm so pervasively informing the ongoing revolution in our understanding and use of information, I have reason to believe Peirce's idea is root and branch more general and has the potential, with due development, to resolve many mysteries still bedeviling our grasp of inference, information, and inquiry.

"By #historicism I mean the doctrine that there is no relation of "closeness of fit" between language and the world: no image of the world projected by language is more or less representative of the way the world really is than any other."
This is from #Rorty. I have to say, I do not grasp the basis for defining the specific term "historicism" in this way. It seems rather to beg the question.
@ironick17 or anyone else, any illumination?

"An Ironist Must Learn to Listen Poetically"
"The poetic is in the listening as much as it is the speaking; it is made by the human ear as much as by the human voice. While poets are those who write or speak poetically; ironists are those who read or listen poetically."

"Government, business, art, religion, all social institutions have... a purpose[:]... to set free the capacities of human individuals... [T]he test of their value is the extent to which they educate every individual into the full stature of his possibility."
- #Dewey, Reconstruction in #Philosophy (1920) [as quoted by #Rorty (1998)].Wonder what kind of values would be returned were such tests applied to our social institutions, beginning with academia.

"Your devotion to #democracy is unlikely to be wholehearted if you believe, as monotheists typically do, that we can have #knowledge of an "objective" ranking of human needs that can overrule the result of democratic consensus."
- Richard #Rorty (1998).Generally, I find Rorty to be a troublesome thinker, often unconcerned with revising his interpretations (as nevertheless befits his global #philosophy). This, however, is a powerful statement in favor of secularism.

Things I never thought I'd see:
(1) Rorty labeled an "ultranationalist".
(2) Rorty writing approvingly (albeit in personal correspondence) about political assassination."Richard Rorty at Princeton: Personal Recollections" by Raymond Geuss

Just came across this gem: Rorty tying his "anything can be made to look good or bad" back to Socrates! And the examples are fire(!): I suspect that the souls of the Aztec priests painstakingly gouging out their prisoners’ hearts and..those of the Catholic bureaucrats whose mission civilizatrice made the Congo so profitable to King Leopold, and of the Unitarian captains of the slave ships, were as harmonious as most."

#introduction
I am a trade unionist at #FNV #NL. My master's thesis in #philosophy (2002) was about #Wittgenstein's #pragmatism and #enactivism. I am currently particularly interested in The Labor Question, then and now.Do my best to learn #Italian. Papà di 2 ragazzi e 2 ragazze.

• https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2022/06/12/survey-of-theme-one-program-4/A program I worked on all through the 80s aimed to develop #Algorithms and #DataStructures for integrating #EmpiricalLearning and #LogicalReasoning. I had earlier developed programs for #Learning #TwoLevelFormalLanguages and for #PropositionalLogic #ConstraintSatisfaction based on C.S. #Peirce's #LogicalGraphs. Getting those 2 faculties to work together meant integrating the ways of #Empiricism and #Rationalism.
