New paper out (Open Access). In which I apply Brandom-style inferentialist pragmasemantics to social meanings. The account covers a broad range of expressions: slurs, code words and dogwhistles, but also more "ordinary" ones like 'mother', 'property' etc.

To become rich from curing cancer, you have to withhold the cure from people suffering and dying from cancer. So yes, you don't deserve to get rich from curing cancer. Only in an exploitative and unethical system is this seen as acceptable.

the paradox of academia is that each academic knows everything about something but all academics together know nothing about anything

As a lapsed Star Wars fan I really think it’s all just the Rise of Skywalker. It was not only calamitous but nonsensical, insulting and because it was the climax of the trilogy it made people feel like their yearslong emotional investment in the sequels had been a waste of time.

I know we're all saying this now but if you told me 15 years ago I was about to see a new Star Wars movie and I couldn't care less I would've thought you were insane

Why watch MICHAEL when you could be watching MICHAEL CLAYTON

[evan @Evan64m]

Classic dad thing is when you first hear about some movies he’ll be like “you can’t watch that until you’re 18” then you turn 11 and he’s probably thinking “well I need someone to talk to about this” and makes you watch it lol

Don't know what to watch? Put on a heist film.

The ONLY choice you have is to dedicate your life to the humanities.

It seems to me the value of taxing the rich is not to fund government (call me MMT, I suppose) but to compress the wealth distribution, so as to ensure those up top are not so disproportionately wealthier than others as to be able to exercise vast undemocratic power.

Writing in most fields is clear when you actually attempt to understand it. That often takes time and requires work. What the fetishization of clarity often masks is the desire for a shortcut.
