A thread for me to show my love of schizo academic diagrams:
1st, the OG themselves, Deleuze and Guattari

Video games have the potential to be the highest and most comprehensive “total work of art” in the Wagnerian sense. But that potential is largely squandered by the types of people who become video game developers.

@freganmitts Bad take

[🅱️askerville @WB_Baskerville]

A weird thing the contemporary world is that the average secular person is very confident they have a rational and scientific worldview, yet they have tons of beliefs that are sort of very obviously mystical or “woo”. But this doesn’t register to them at all.

Just occurred to me this is the first time in my lifetime I can remember a billionaire funding a valuable public works project. Andrew Carnegie funded like 2000 libraries alone lol

Hard to think of anything that compares to it in depth, erudition or sweep

[KU Philosophy @UKansPhilosophy]

The Department of Philosophy at the University of Kansas is deeply saddened by the passing of Dale Dorsey. A valued colleague, mentor, and friend for 16 years, he made a lasting impact on our community and the field. He will be missed.

Rooting for Michigan

@JoshuaLWatson Oh ok haha. Well I agree with you as well

[Jack Leonard @jacleo13]

@JoshuaLWatson I do, that’s why my mental health got a lot better after undergrad when I made friends in philosophy club

[Jack Leonard @jacleo13]

@JoshuaLWatson I don’t know, since this is been one of the big struggles in my life, part of me is pessimistic about it being possible to have the type of belonging religions have in a secular fashion (other than perhaps sports, which have their own sort of jingoism)

There are just so many people in the AI convo who need to read Neil Postman. The constant assertions/assumptions that all technologies are neutral tools dependent on the user's morals are stunningly naive. You challenge that assumption & people keep repeating it like a catechism.
