[Long Read] Who’s Afraid of #JudithButler?
The #philosopher and #gender #theorist has been #denounced, #demonized, even #burnedineffigy. They have a #theory about that.For their latest work, Butler became a #student again, wading into a #world #ruled by enveloping #dread. “I just tried to go deeper into that place of enormous #stuckness and #rage,” they said.

Robert F Kennedy Jr’s campaign bankrolled by Republican mega-donor
A Super Pac affiliated with #Robert F #Kennedy #Jr, the anti-vaccine #conspiracy #theorist running for president as a Democrat, owes half its cash to a longtime Republican #mega-#donor and Trump backer, according to campaign finance reports filed on Monday.
The group, American Values 2024, reported receiving $5m from #Timothy #Mellon, a wealthy businessman from Wyoming, according to NBC News and Politico. It registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in April, days before Kennedy officially launched his campaign, according to FEC records.
Mellon, 81, is the grandson of Andrew Mellon, a former US treasury secretary who made his fortune in banking. The Texas Tribune reported that Mellon, a top donor to Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election effort, supported controversial immigration laws and was 🔸responsible for 98% of the contributions to the Texas governor Greg Abbott’s fund to build a border wall🔸.
Mellon, who twice gave $10m to the Trump-aligned America First Action Super Pac in 2020, also used 🔹racist stereotypes 🔹to describe Black people in an autobiography he self-published in 2015.

#Edward #Fredkin, who despite never having graduated from college became an influential professor of #computer #science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a pioneer in #artificial #intelligence and a maverick #theorist who championed the idea that the entire universe might function like one big computer, died on June 13 in Brookline, Mass. He was 88.
Fueled by a seemingly limitless scientific imagination and a blithe indifference to conventional thinking, Professor Fredkin charged through an endlessly mutating career that could appear as mind-warping as the iconoclastic theories that made him a force in both computer science and physics.
“Ed Fredkin had more ideas per day than most people have in a month,” Gerald Sussman, a professor of electronic engineering and a longtime colleague at M.I.T., said in a phone interview. “Most of them were bad, and he would have agreed with me on that. But out of those, there were good ideas, too. So he had more good ideas in a lifetime than most people ever have.”.

Here's the "doctor" that was ejected from the Texas senate hearing:
Steven Forrest Hotze is an American conservative #talk #radio #host, #conspiracy #theorist, #physician, Republican #activist and #megadonor in Texas.
Hotze is known as a supporter of a variety of right-wing political causes: #against LGBT anti-discrimination protections, #against COVID vaccine mandates, and as a #proponent of Donald Trump's false claims that he was cheated in the 2020 presidential election.
Hotze is currently under criminal indictment on two charges (unlawful restraint and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon), for his alleged involvement in a private investigation into supposed "voter fraud" that resulted in a private investigator (who was hired by Hotze) attacking and holding an air conditioning repairman at gunpoint

A #conspiracy #theorist is a special kind of person. It's someone with an overdose of #paranoid traits. The type of person who threw a boomerang six years ago that didn't come back and keeps looking over his shoulder since that day.
The conspiracy theorist has no use for simple, #logical #explanations. There must be more to it, it must be complicated. It must be so complicated and #illogical that no one can make sense of it, except the conspiracy theorist himself.

#econodon #econtwitter As a #theorist I always thought that knowing the "story of a proof" is far more valuable than reading the final version of the proof. For teaching, it would be amazing to keep a note on the process that led to the proof in each econ paper to show how it was done, it would help students (and the whole community) a lot #randomthought #econtheory #teaching

5/ One cool aspect: When repeating this procedure - the first 6 features stay the same, so the relevant features are pretty reliable. The diagrams describe the EFPs it found (ask your local #theorist for the details).

A proposal: let us stop saying “#conspiracy #theorist” to denote someone who believes some crazy idea that is unsupported by the facts. There is no conspiracy and their #beliefs do not qualify as theories since they are immune to disproof.
Henceforth, such a person shall be referred to as a “whacko”.
What say you? Yay or Nay?

In 2016 I had the good fortune of co-editing with ire'ne lara silva an anthology of #poets writing on the life and work of the visionary poet and #theorist #GloriaAnzaldúa. So much had been written about Anzaldúa as an inspirational theorist in various fields of study, while her role as poet had languished in reflection. We were delighted to publish the work of 54 poets from around the world whose #poems, #essays, and #hybrid writings engaged and dialogued with her legacy. #GloriaAnzaldua

Remember one of Jones' main roles now (knowing or not) is to normalize various forms of prosecution as an anti-establishment #conspiracy #theorist. #alexjones #roleplay #kayfabe
