@dwaldenwrites The fundamental teleology present in the Aristotelian distinction between matter and form is dualistic in character.
English
"Dualism" doesn't mean "anything that isn't brute physicalism" and a take like this perfectly illustrates why superficial learning is worse than none at all.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
It is not surprising to see that the Pope endorses a lot of superstitious mind/body dualism about artificial intelligence but it’s still wrong, even as he is also raising a lot of good points about some of the risks at play.
English
Dualism? Korsgaard was right when she told this guy that he didn’t really have what it takes to understand philosophy. 😂

@RLangford18 You and only you are supposed to applaud. You are supposed to do so until your arms go numb and your palms begin to bleed. Thank you for asking.
English
@FreyChristopher Are we supposed to applaud your announcement which in its very nature is rather silly?

On my next paper, I’m going to cite a couple hundred p-hacked, unreplicable papers I haven’t read. The dozen coauthors I’ve never met and can’t vouch for can add some more. This the very nature of research.

universities below the top 20 are going to face a massive enrollment crisis. can’t lend $400k against a credential that no longer has a wage premium.
math does not work.
we're going to see more and more of these schools up for sale. how would you turn around your fav school?

I'm grateful to @DouthatNYT for inviting me on his podcast to discuss the fate of the liberal arts and humanities in the age of AI. I hope that all those who follow higher ed and care about the liberal arts will listen.

So is this going to get them under the 3k tuition-paying student threshold to avoid the endowment tax?
The University of Chicago@UChicago
UChicago is launching an initiative that will guarantee free tuition for families with incomes below $250,000, starting in fall 2027. The College will provide free housing and meals and waive fees for families with incomes less than $125,000. Learn more: ms.spr.ly/6014vuUPM

@FreyChristopher Take a 9 pager, use courier font, and justify margins. Voila 10 pages. AI not needed.
English
This is right. I was only able to write papers that were 1-9 pages or 11+ pages. AI has finally unlocked the 10 page paper for me!
Lo@lolo_tho
I was told by a 22yr old today that there was no way people were writing 10 page papers without AI.
English
lol. I just looked up an old attempt (over 20 years ago) to translate the Odyssey. I went with “the man of tortuous paths.” I will not defend this choice on either linguistic or poetic grounds. 😂
English
Knowledge of ancient Greek is necessary to have an informed opinion about translations. But it’s certainly not sufficient to have a judicious or insightful opinion. I’ve seen a lot of “experts” making wild claims and arguments here.
English
@dikaioslin Well, they did all dislike the kind of moral philosophy being done at Oxford and on fairly similar grounds. That part I think is plausible. There are clear parallels between all four women's work, even if there are also differences.
English
I forgot which but there was a book review that made a similar (good) point that the four of them were so far apart in their philosophical stances that there is no plausible way to argue that they were all rebelling against the same dominant philosophical view.
Phil Hoyeck@PAHoyeck
And apart from Anscombe, who was a Catholic and so might have gone in for some kind of different account, none of these four women are likely to have rejected that picture! On the contrary, both Foot and Midgley were highly scientifically-minded. 11/

I have long admired the philosophy department @UVA and am incredibly fortunate to be part of this community and teach their amazing students for the next two years.
Jennifer A. Frey@jennfrey
I've finally finished up my last week of teaching at UTulsa and I'm thrilled to share that Chris and I are moving to Charlottesville in June where we will both be taking up positions @UVA. Some pics of my last few visits on grounds to celebrate--I can't wait to get back! 🧵(1/5)

Being late Gen X is perfect timing. Had a childhood without the internet, college without smartphones, grad school and early career without AI, and will get to live a reasonably long and fruitful life before the machines exterminate us all.

These are BA programs that nobody was doing anyways. This is basically a law making them update the website to get rid of the non existent majors they still have in the catalog because it's nobody's job to clean it. Ohio State is not getting rid of chemistry and physics
Christopher Frey@FreyChristopher
Ohio is eliminating ~90 degree programs. This includes 4 year degrees is physics (at 4 schools), math (at 3), chemistry (at 3), and at least 7 other stem degrees. (Plus a bunch of education degrees in stem fields)
