MY THEORY ABOUT WHY STUDENTS ARE PROTESTING: they are upset about israeli military activity in gaza, and the role the united states government has in it
As a contingent philosophy faculty member, this is the exact opposite of what I would say in this situation. I’d say “Whatever you do, don’t call the philosophy department. What you are seeing is definitely not someone in the philosophy department getting arrested” 😂

“Can you call the philosophy department and tell them I’ve been arrested?” is an all-time quote.

WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet. This video provided to us by an #Emory PHD student. You can hear him in this video. @ATLNewsFirst

You cannot follow Jesus & be “pro death penalty”—that’s following the powers of the revenge, violence, & empire.
@ChosenZela I value being a citizen of earth. Nations divide people.
@WhyRWeHere99 No. I find nationalism or patriotism to be one of the most childish things a person can feel towards a country
@Richie8990_ @historyinmemes My highest respect goes to those servicemen who refused orders. I am truly in awe of their courage and steadfastness to principles, morality and decency.
I take my cue from Jesus Christ who told me and told all of us to love each other, clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and visit those in prison. If you can’t do that, you’re not a believer—I don’t care what church you go to. - James Baldwin
Dehumanizing people is the same tactic used by Nazis against Jews ("rats"); Americans against Native Americans ("savages") and Japanese ("vermin"); and Hutu against Tutsi ("cockroaches"). Dehumanization means you can treat people like animals and, eventually, exterminate them...

From Descartes-Kant, experience is cut up from the world such that humans are not ontologically continuous w the world (esp. Cartesian dualism). Neuroscience only makes sense because my inner life and outer life are of the same stuff. Don't be afraid. Be a neutral monist.
I do not like the Facts vs Opinions dichotomy and I think people should stop peddling it. In this blog post I link to some detailed objections I find persuasive, and also outline my big picture objection. sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2024/03/facts-…

@BrainyPirate @TiffanyKWayne There’s an alphabetize button in word? I alphabetized all my bibliographies manually 😅
@gallatinmoore @TiffanyKWayne Don’t have time? It’s not like you are retyping it.
@gtinag_tina @TiffanyKWayne All bibliographies are published in alphabetical order in every book they'll ever consult. It's not just a weird expectation for this particular course.
@jlazarus001 @TiffanyKWayne But who even uses paper in the era of google docs? Hell most students at my uni don’t have a printer. I do b/c I am old, but nobody else does.
Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.
... & regrets & failures for features of the world, just generally being a fuddy-duddy. I thought *all* young people were committed to that. So it is wild & incredibly disheartening to look around & see hordes of people my age & even younger just tromping down that path.
When I was young I spent a considerable amount of time thinking about how to avoid becoming the kind of old person I saw around me -- pinched, instinctively averse to change, convinced that society's in decline & kids don't know the value of hard work, mistaking my own fears ...
@SchopenhauerG3 Then teach them otherwise. “Students may feel…” is something to anticipate and respond to. Your job isn’t to encourage folks to *keep* their cynicism, their fear, or their worst (if warranted) suspicions about the world. It’s to challenge them. prove things can be otherwise.
@SchopenhauerG3 How bout modeling that just like in society where we have to learn to maintain the integrity of our offices + good faith in relationships across ideological chasms, classrooms are no exception & transparency can be a critical component of establishing that good faith/integrity?
@SchopenhauerG3 When professors share their position with humility, as though there could be arguments against or reasonable people who disagree, and work to provide that classroom environment it works. When they don't it doesn't work.
@SchopenhauerG3 I think instructors not saying what their views are can contribute to a, "Well, who knows what to think about this?? If the teacher can't tell or have a responsible view on the matter, am I likely to be able to do that?" So I think non-disclosure can lead to bad skepticism.
@SchopenhauerG3 I teach sustainability and environment classes. It's hard to avoid politics when it comes to things like whether climate change is real.
Jesus: Love your neighbour. Internet Christians: But don’t forget to hate!!! 🙄
