  1. RE: mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYo

    Not only did Kamala Harris fail to express a humane position concerning the slaughter of innocent Palestinian men, women, and children in Gaza, she also inexcusably refused to allow any Palestinian-American to speak at the Democratic National Convention.

  5. I am fiddling with a taxonomy of unforced errors in philosophy and science.

    Very WIP.

    A big one is "Trying to define the naturally occurring".
    Some big doozies in here, like "truth" and "knowledge" and "word".
    Examplifying: Plato didn't create the knowledge concept. People had been talking about what they knew or did not know for hundreds or thousands of years by then. "Knowledge" then is a naturally occurring concept, and its meaning would have needed to be discovered, not defined. Two thousand years down the drain trying to fix the unfixable.

    Another example is morality. People have been talking about good and bad for thousands of years. Try to discover what they mean, and be prepared for the potential of contradiction, because reality isn't axiomatic.

    A very general one: Focusing on validity, rather than soundness. So many astoundingly bad arguments get a pass on a correctness of form.
    Interrogate the premises.

  9. This is so incredibly short sighted and intentionally ignorant, too. Laying off so many staff - and the entire evaluation department (!!!) - in response to fascist-led federal cuts will hurt the museum and surrounding communities for years. Evaluation staff at SMM did all kinds of good and thoughtful work all around the state and were committed to equitable evaluation principles.

    A whole lot more #transparency about this proposal would certainly be welcome. But I don't have high hopes for that; the "New Google", with its self-destructive and (at least in appearance) anti-user decisions, doesn't seem to want to #communicate effectively with the public.
