@Alex_A_Guerrero kinda sucks even for okc fans (i am one of them) cuz it diminishes the reward of winning games like this one, or the game 7 (with the way caruso was defending jokic)

[Samuel Delorme @samwdelorme]

@Alex_A_Guerrero that's fair--hard to see how the refs would justify the officiating between consistent across both teams

@AgnesCallard first person that came to mind was Levin (from Anna Karenina)

[Samuel Delorme @samwdelorme]

main reason i dont think mill is a utilitarian deep down is that he makes enjoyable and humane psychological observations

[Samuel Delorme @samwdelorme]

@victorckumar @AgnesCallard that is so true

@paulbloomatyale "What Does It Mean to be Biased: Motivated Reasoning and Rationality" by Ulrike Hahn and Adam Harris (2014) is a great critical survey of the literature

@GreggDCaruso i'm not sure that's how I would interpret suchness, but it's live interpretation i think :)

[Samuel Delorme @samwdelorme]

@GreggDCaruso aligns with at least one way of reading the notion of suchness (Tathatā) in some buddhist doctrines--the world as it is deprived of delusion. one way of taking that, given that the world is composed of momentary sense-impressions (dharmas), would be a world of pure qualia.

@messina_jp *enter kids these days/attention span/social media expanation*

best thing to do though would be to ask them if possible, they'll tell you! some groups are full of people who love reading. especially if its accessible writing.

godspeed

[Samuel Delorme @samwdelorme]

@messina_jp there were reading response assignments + lecture was participation-focused--but there was so little uptake it was tough to watch.

if you assign 100+ pages some students will definitely read it! but my sense is that the longer the total pages are, the fewer will read at all.
