what Brett means is that there are no good philosophers. it’s just the contemporary form of Plato’s no knowledge argument

i maintain that Elizabeth Anderson started one of the best genre’s of book review
a screenshot of the book Scrutinizing Feminist Epistemology a 1 star review written by Elizabeth Anderson in 2004 titled “Attacks Straw Men.” The text of the review reads: "The reader's embarrassment grows, with each amazing example" of error, says contributor Gonzalo Munévar of Sandra Harding's work in feminist epistemology. This accurately captures my own reaction to this book, which is packed with flat misreadings of feminist epistemologists that cannot withstand the simplest tests of consistency with what they say, or that beat dead horses killed long ago by feminist epistemologists themselves. No wonder some of the contributors go on for pages talking about what feminist epistemologists claim, without actually citing any of them, or with only the slightest documentation, sometimes even to the point of misquotation. Amazon.com forbids URL's in reader reviews. But you can find my full critique of this book on my website (accessible through the University of Michigan, Department of Philosophy).”

maybe old news but gains for the two largest private prison companies (geo group and civiccore) are just wild since the election.
a chart of percent of stock price change in the past three years. in three years the s&p is up 27% while the civiccore is up 128% and geocore is up 288%
