I gave a talk on what I see as problematic in the EI research program (Robin saw a version of it too) that was attended by @lisabortolotti.com who then invited me to contribute to this SI. I think the two of you would be great contributors to it, hope you consider sending something in 😊

To be clear, I'm very much in favor of philotainment! The fun can be deep, and the deep can be fun 😀

Brandom has been a major influence on my thinking for over 15 years. But as I became more interested in the entanglement of discursive practices with politics and power relations, I moved away from idealized approaches such as his GOGAR towards more 'realistic' accounts of argumentative processes.

I don’t think so, I love Eurovision! But it’s time for Israel not to be allowed to participate anymore.
