For a brief moment I thought about just not showing up to my classes so I could help the government deregulate my students’ education. But that would be irresponsible and contrary to the purpose of a university education.

Yesterday, Trump posted to Truth Social, “He who saves his Country violates no law.” This is apparently a quotation by Napoleon Bonaparte, as some people have pointed out.

Trying to de-Meta my life as much as I can so I figured this would be a good place to go. I’ll mostly be keeping up with friends and philosophy/philosophy adjacent academics.
