Camus, again, sees it…

Mags is arguing for critical realism, as it allows for a mind independent reality, but also fallible knowledge about reality and the role of the scientists in science

[See me on LinkedIn - I've quit X (Phillip Dawson) @phillipdawson]

@s_palm Now @RobynYucel discussing the sorts of questions we might ask of students in teaching about the nature of science. Important stuff in a post truth world!

@JeremyScrivens @SBS Coverage tonight was appalling. Janice Peterson asking the academic why he didn't consider the option that Ukraine did it deliberately.

[Jeremy Scrivens @JeremyScrivens]

@SBS Can’t believe SBS that there is a huge dam in #Ukraine that #Russia has just been blown up #NovaKakhova with a major catastrophe looming and you don’t even cover it on tonight’s news !!

Turnitin locking in AI detection (giving institutions no choice to turn it off) seems to me like a last ditch, all-in effort to remain relevant. How about you?

Alternative @jordanbpeterson -

"People who factcheck the copious rubbish and hateful fictions I spew forth to my gullible fan base are meanies"

Peterson's entire empire pivots on "pseudo-profound bullshit" - let's look at that - a short thread..🧵

Take a look at this new infographic for a 2021 article by @DrKateThomson & Simon Barrie: 'Conversations as a source of professional learning: exploring the dynamics of camaraderie and common ground amongst university teachers' - https://t.co/mR4GxxdDJW

Academics "riding their fear carousel"(@Anda19) can't think about innovative ways to use #ChatGTP. So I asked ChatGTP: "If AI is part of future professional workflows how can academics get students to use it ethically as part of an assessment" Their reply: #highered #assessment

New theory*: those who write off online teaching / learning as inherently inferior have probably not yet had a really good online learning experience. Implication: they may be less qualified to comment on the issue than others.

* actually an old theory

COVID didn't wreck the economy. Science deniers wrecked the economy.

The poor aren't struggling. The ultra rich are profiting off the backs of the poor.

The planet isn't burning. The fossil fuel industry is burning the planet.

When asked, the Treasurer couldn't give even one justification for Labor's Stage 3 tax cuts.

Not one.

Scrap Labor's Stage 3 tax cuts now.
