Is there a setting on Twitter that I can turn on so that I no longer see anything by or about Bill Ackman?

Zhuangzi on FAFO: "If you play around near Archer Yi's target, lurking near the bulls-eye, it is only normal to get hit. If you manage to escape getting hit, it's just fate, good luck."

Dennett, displaying that he has zero FTG

Gave talk to Philosophy Club on applying Daoist thinking to reduce stress, got rejected again from NYC marathon lottery, ran 6 miles, learned more geometry (tutoring kid #2), got a Victory Royale in Fortnite. Maybe I'll just pack it in and go to bed now.

Dennett is a smart guy but I'm not going to ask him for advice on where to hang pictures or install shelves.

Dennett, R.I.P.

My students are having a hard time functioning today; Taylor dropped a double album last night, they haven't had time to hear it all, and it has songs about Travis on it. Trying to cover content today is futile.

Many of my students are baffled by this approach (my advisor called it the "principle of respect"), because they've internalized the belief that the point of argument is winning, not learning or a joint pursuit of the truth.

Today my Daoism class finished the Zhuangzi (Inner Chapters) and my Public Seminar class finished a semester-long reading of Aurelius' Meditations. What wonderful books - I appreciate the rich, deep, and meaningful discussions they generate. Props and thanks, my ancient brothers.

Ross blames protests on left-wing classes like "Contemporary Civilization" at Columbia. Read the piece, hit the link for the course, and see if you think the year-long course is excessively liberal. Ross is so, so tired as a writer. nytimes.com/2024/04/27/opi…

You'd think Frank Luntz knew that there were three sides represented in this conflict, but his poll seems oblivious to this and one side simply disappears from consideration. I wonder why that is.

So much demagoguery and theater, so little time.

The end result: much less outside writing assigned, more focus on in-class exams; difficulty of course goes up (focus on exam content), but student writing gets worse.

A 35, a 5.09 weighted GPA, and a #1 class rank is not sufficient to be admitted to get into Ivies. This is just standard online resentment harvesting for people who don't know any better.

Speaker Johnson has an odd epistemology.

I value student comments, but it's rare that there's a "consensus" about what works/doesn't work. I have a good sense about what was effective or not; comments usually help me to fill out the user experience side of what I'm already well aware of one way or the other.

Humanity will not heal as long as we define success as superiority over others. Societies engendering winners and losers continue to be endlessly plagued by contempt and anguish. “Knowing” series, Book 1. Visit Knowing tab of site in profile. Follow timeline for excerpts. #quote
