Philosopher Jersey Flight

I'm a thinker, not a fame seeker. I'm a progressive, or what is more, a radical humanist. I don't pay attention to titles, I pay attention to intellectual substance. And though I love theory, I recognize its abstract limits. Knowledge, as privilege, means social responsibility.

What is good in the world: it was never religion, it was always Humanism.

A philosopher is everyone’s fool until he discovers logic.

“You should not fool the layman when you’re talking as a scientist.” —Richard Feynman, Cargo Cult Science I’m just going to leave this quote and link here today for no particular reason. jonathanshedler.substack.com/p/cbt-research…

@SpeedWatkins Simply pursue, “binding,” and you will have the correct answer. Discovering the authority of thought is an extraordinary moment in a thinker’s life.

Morality is binding whether or not it is a human construct. The bindingness of morality is a datum; realist and constructivist theories are explanations of that. However, it is not an implication of constructivism that "anything goes." Actually reading meta-ethics is important.

@AmberBrunsart Beauty— as always!

@JoshuaLWatson Brilliant, and hilarious.

believing contradictions seems like a bad strategy for believing what's true

@simonmaechling Superb! I love your rationalism, and great defense of science. Enlightenment can only advance through reason, never through superstition.

“Hello AI, we will now be using you to wage war on the earth, you shall become a war machine going up against other war machines. The earth will now be filled with war machines like you. You will cover all and see all for those who want you to see, to control those who cannot.”

Richard Feynman’s savage takedown of pseudo-science still burns in 2026: “Social science is an example of a science which is not a science. They follow the forms… but they don’t get any laws. They haven’t found out anything.” He goes harder: Experts who “sit at a typewriter and make up” claims — “organic food is better,” “this diet cures everything” — as if it’s settled science, when no rigorous experiments or checks have been done. Feynman: “I know what it means to really know something. How careful you have to be. How easy it is to fool yourself. I see how they get their information… and I can’t believe that they know.” The Nobel physicist calls it straight: most of what passes for “expert” opinion is noise dressed up as knowledge. In an age drowning in TikTok “science,” influencers, and clickbait studies — Feynman’s 1:52 rant feels more relevant than ever. Who’s the biggest pseudo-expert that grinds your gears right now? Clip is timeless fire — watch it and feel the clarity.

It is necessary for God to exist, so He can save us from His worshipers!

@SamBaudinette Can we get a book like this that actually attacks something that needs to be attacked: DBT — Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

The book by Heidi Keller, whose article critiquing attachment theory I shared a few days ago, is currently on sale from Routledge. It might be worth picking up if you want to read more about why we should jettison attachment theory’s claim to universality routledge.com/The-Myth-of-At…

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer exists. - Hannah Arendt

Hello intellectual: Knowledge = social responsibility. Knowledge = social responsibility. Knowledge = social responsibility.

After their toxic masculinity, once again, reduced to the horror of caveman wars, they suddenly realized they didn’t want to regress to the stupidity of violence. Thus “toxic masculinity” was finally understood to be existentially toxic.

In order to be free, we must first understand the ways in which we are bound.

All the debts I have to pay, I owe back in kindness; bless you who treated me with kindness, for you taught me the only true light in the world.

When the skeptic tells me I’m “wrong” (or in “error”), has he not refuted himself?

To live virtuous simply means that one is always trying to return to virtue.
