@messina_jp I find myself constantly rolling my eyes at how much blatant AI-produced content I see on these platforms. Or, as an offending posts might sign off with: "It's not content. It's slop."

The paper is a part of a special issue dedicated to Nozick's ASU. I take the inspiration of my main thesis from Nozick's discussion of self-esteem.

[Harrison Frye @hpfrye]

I've got a new paper out arguing that an economy dedicated to the value of community will likely generate status competition. This is a problem if the value of community is grounded in a claim of equal esteem or recognition.

I have a new paper out on envy and stability. The thesis is that envy is a serious problem, and we ought to pay more attention to cultural practices as ways of mitigating it.

[Harrison Frye @hpfrye]

So, if you are a political theorist who can credibly teach Intro to American Politics and are interested in a teaching position in a very cool college town, this is a good job for you to apply to.

Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. 3/3

We are hiring for a renewable lecturer position in the Department of Political Science here at UGA (link below). This is a teaching-oriented job with a promotion track that, when available, provides research support such as travel funding. 1/3

I should note that, while we mainly need people to teach Introduction to American Politics, the position is open to political theorists and allows for teaching political theory courses. 2/3

In a new paper in the Journal of Moral Philosophy,@AmandaRGreene and I argue that both the sovereign and the structural models of power are inadequate when it comes to tech companies like Meta and OpenAI.

@sam_director_ Basically all of the major generalist ones as far as I can tell (APSR, JOP, AJPS, BJPS).

@Kpourvand In the section on crude communism in the 1844 manuscripts, Marx explains why a raising of wages would not solve the problem of alienation. Roughly, the issue is still you are working for the sake of a wage.

@wtfis2bdone @JKandiyali The paper is more modest than that. I focus on some recent arguments that have become popular in the literature and try to show why they are invalid. If this means radicals have other arguments, fine with me! An alternative frame for my paper could be: https://t.co/bdtbk32BlN

[Harrison Frye @hpfrye]

My paper criticizing radical republicanism has an issue and volume now.

@matthenryyoung I guess I’m getting blocked by someone but Theory of Justice is the natural choice.

An alternative I like is to pick a book recently published you want to read that you think might work with undergraduates. I’ve done that a few times and thought it worked out.

Another issue of Social Philosophy & Policy - this one on Egalitarianism - and just about every article is a banger.

@ZoltnGborSzcs1 That seems reasonable. Though, I think it is valuable to distinguish the question of what a person's legal obligations are and the question of the duty to obey the law, whether or not the latter issue is called "political obligation."
