@hilzoy Pocket oracle! I still teach this using a fake oracle app on my phone. Synthesized voices and everything.

@gdmorejon §26 of the B-Deduction would like a word with you.

[Nathan Bauer @n9bauer]

@jennfrey Well, it's super long. But I thought it did a great job of depicting life in an institution that's focused on plans well beyond a human lifetime. The ending is kind of wild. Worth reading, I'd say, but it's no Canticle!

@ProfWCox Reminder to self: prepare draft of new department sock policy.

@nescio13 One value of history of philosophy is to free us from our contemporary blindspots. Developmental accounts, by walking us through the process that led to the mature view, can ease us into new ways of conceiving of philosophical problematics.

@daveweinfeld And we're thrilled you're joining us!

@SantaSoaked @alexxguss A surprising venue for raw Dionysian energy...

@chrisschuringa @loriakennedy How is our experience of space Euclidean, rather than non? After all, it's not like we have ever experienced two infinite parallel lines failing to meet...

Hey @jennfrey -- so I was thinking of restarting an old springtime contest from our Society of Fellows days... #marchmadnous

@RobertTalisse Justice as airfareness?

@AgnesCallard [insert crooked timber joke here]

[Nathan Bauer @n9bauer]

@cbcsteve Unfortunately, one key question -- "What if my spouse is not Canadian? Do they have to quarantine?" -- is never answered in the story. Would really like to know this!

@adamkotsko @jdvdub First and foremost, I was thinking of the impact of her capabilities approach on UN policy groups. But there's a broader overview here - https://t.co/fAxIrsr98L

[Nathan Bauer @n9bauer]

@jdvdub @adamkotsko Sure. It just seemed funny that the person who made the most famous version of this complaint about Butler is also the philosopher you'd be least likely to accuse of having no practical impact!

[Nathan Bauer @n9bauer]

@ProfWCox Wow, that's ridiculous. (Also, your parents named you 'Whitney' because 'Everest' was too on the nose?)

[Nathan Bauer @n9bauer]

@jennfrey I suppose the rest of the song is less appropriate for annual reviews...

[Nathan Bauer @n9bauer]

@AgnesCallard Yep, that all makes sense. Just wanted to add the cautionary note.

[Nathan Bauer @n9bauer]

@AgnesCallard Liddell & Scott limit that meaning ("one's own") to Homer and some early poets, so it might be more of a weird idiom than a primary meaning that Socrates, etc. would be relying on.
