Philosophy prof. UC San Diego. I mostly post about (political) philosophy and academic freedom. Views here are mine only (not employer's).

The Point is pleased to announce, apropos of nothing in particular, the Blue Book Nonfiction Writing Contest, to be administered in-person, on college campuses across the country. The winning essay(s) will be published on our website. But not before an editor has a look!

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

Got an R&R today where both reviewers says they disagreed with almost every argument in the paper, but it was so interesting and well put together that the paper deserved to be published. This is the way; I salute you.

Smartphones are often assumed to be obvious examples of cognitive extension. We offer reasons to reject this assessment . . . [they] are better understood as external to, but symbiotic with, our minds, and, sometimes even parasitic on us. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

The role of the teacher is changing. Across campuses, the experience of education is shifting — and not everyone sees it the same way. Watch SPEECHLESS and tell us what you think. Now streaming on @cbcgem and @BBCiPlayer.

A free, searchable index of 212,000+ philosophy book reviews. Covers 1,200+ journals going back to the 1890s. Filter by subfield, journal, author, reviewer, year, or access type. Built it because I kept wishing this existed. Now it does. philreviews.org

1/ The Academic Freedom Index, developed by V-Dem and others, claims to assess de facto levels of academic freedom across the world. The Index is influential and contains useful information. However, I don't think it does a good job of measuring academic freedom.🧵
Heterodox Academy@HdxAcademy

🚨 The U.S. continues its fall on the Academic Freedom Index, but the story is more complicated than it seems. This story, rising self-censorship, government intervention, disciplinary reform, debates over controversial research, and more in HxA's weekly round-up.

A lot of anti-YIMBYs suffer from what could be called “housing exceptionalism”—they offer explanations for why increasing the supply of housing will not deliver lower real prices over time that imply that increasing the supply of other goods will not deliver lower real prices over time (even though it’s uncontroversial that they do).
Kate Willett@katewillett

A major new study has confirmed what many of us know from reading all previous research. Socialists in NYC should care about this, bc Mayor Mamdani has filled his administration with developer hawks in hopes of delivering the Affordability Agenda. It won’t.

@conor64 @annakhachiyan Metropolitan, by Whit Stillman (1989 I think). Nominated for best screenplay Oscar. Excellent film.

@annakhachiyan What was the best art that the right produced in the most recent pre-social media period––say, 1990 to 2014 (or whatever alternative dates you think are better, if you object to these)?

I think sadly the lack of good art or culture in our age has more to do with the fact that social media lets people experience the rewards of creativity without having to endure the process. The right is not any more driven by hatred and resentment than the left. This is your particular narrativization that you need for your psyche for whatever reason.
Pedro L. Gonzalez@emeriticus

The new right can’t and will not ever produce any real art or culture that will stand the test of time because it is fundamentally driven by hatred and resentment and a movement based on those things cannot create anything beautiful or worthwhile. It is a gutter movement. It lives in an imaginative and moral sewer from which nothing good can ever emerge.
