I'm a thinker, not a fame seeker. I'm a progressive, or what is more, a radical Humanist. I don't pay attention to titles, I pay attention to intellectual substance. And though I love theory, I recognize its abstract limits. Knowledge, as privilege, means social responsibility.

This regime is a behemoth of incompetence.
🔥 "A federal judge tossed out separate criminal charges against the former FBI director James B. Comey and Attorney General Letitia James of New York, saying the prosecutor’s appointment was invalid—a major blow to the president’s effort to make the criminal justice system do as he pleases." - NYT

Here’s a very simple argument against Hegel’s philosophy: that Hegel makes people feel like they have transcended the laws of logic proves that Hegel’s philosophy is dangerous. This persuasion simply has the effect of confidently submerging people in error.

Many of us have been calling it out for a long time, it’s what I have referred to as ‘geopolitics.’ Just do the Machiavellian math. Geopolitical actors infiltrated our system with propaganda, it’s the new warfare of the 21st century. @ninajankowicz.com has been fighting & warning about it for years!

If you want something profound, consider this: we humans rarely grasp the full potential of our own tools. A chimpanzee knows a stick can pull ants from a log, but never imagines it as a spear. We, too, live inside the limits of our imagination.

Cultural shifts in shallow culture: the simple fact that a narrative is too hard to defend against, such as the Epstein narrative, automatically causes people to distance from those condemned by it— simply because holding opposition to it is too difficult: “are you really defending that?”

Weird. Nothing on the @nytimes.com homepage about the President of the United States calling for the execution of members of the opposition in response to their political speech.
Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

Some of the best legal minds that America has ever produced are fighting this regime everyday on every front. It’s extraordinary.

I think it is wise advice to always call the police (when people dressed like this won’t identify themselves) and report that people are impersonating officers.

Johnson doesn’t look shook to me. Look at that little smile form on his face. I’m highly skeptical. I suspect the Republican corruption of the DOJ and FBI thinks they can land this plane without casualties. And, tragically, because they control the material, it might actually work.
holy shit mike johnson is SHOOK on Epstein vote in Senate

There can indeed be a crystallizing effect, wherein ideology and conspiracy are given a form by the LLM that strengthens their hold on the individual.
LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

Hegel created a sophistry by artificially dividing identity against itself. The insight here, is that this may very well be the essence of all sophistry, what we find when we trace it to its root.

Critical theory failed precisely because it took up the philosophical line of German idealism. This means it taught people how to think ideologically instead of logically. It never occurred to these theorists (with the exception of Habermas) that rationality was the very thing that was needed.

There’s literally nothing legal about this.

They didn’t even have sufficient basis for a stop.
