As the last recipient of the Albertus Magnus Professorship, I am adding my voice to those who denounce the decision to withdraw this honour from Prof. Nancy Fraser, and have written accordingly to the Rector of the University of Cologne. Perhaps they can still change course.

As the last recipient of the Albertus Magnus Professorship, I am adding my voice to those who denounce the decision to withdraw this honour from Prof. Nancy Fraser, and have written accordingly to the Rector of the University of Cologne. Perhaps they can still change course.

The NeoHobbesians are going a bit nuts these days or what?

The Taz attempts a criticism of our scientific methods, clumsily making several basic errors. When confronted about their falsehoods and misrepresentations they respond saying it’s only a cultural review.

'We tend to exaggerate our differences. The results of such exaggeration are often catastrophic... we can easily forget just how minor these differences really are.'

New piece on Zone of Interest: the speech, the lies, most of all, Glazer's harrowing warning about how genocide can become 'ambient.'
