An Open Letter to Neil deGrasse Tyson | The Horseless Telegraph
https://horselesstelegraph.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/an-open-letter-to-neil-degrasse-tyson
Lewis Powell's Philosophy Blog. An Open Letter to Neil deGrasse Tyson. Dear Dr. Tyson,. Like many philosophers, I was very disheartened by some of your recent remarks. Philosophers. I would like to think that you and I should be, in some broad sense, partners against a rising tide of anti-intellectualism. What makes something a boon to humankind? Why should you (or anyone) care about one outcome over another? As I said above, I’d love to talk more with you about the value of philosophical inquiry. The br...

WikiLeaks Shines a Light on the Limits of Techno-Politics
http://whimsley.typepad.com/whimsley/2010/12/wikileaks-shines-a-light-on-the-limits-of-techno-politics.html
This site is now abandoned and is gathering dust. Everything has been moved to the bright and shiny tomslee.net. December 05, 2010. WikiLeaks Shines a Light on the Limits of Techno-Politics. For example, Open Government advocates are one group having a tough time reacting to the leaks, and their struggles show that the real issues are not the open source/hacker technological questions of openness, access to data, and transparency, but the old political question of US foreign policy, for or against? There...

June 2, 2015. Whalers on the moon: curious despatches from an old dream. It was the devious-cruising Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing children, only found another orphan. Quite apart from anything else, the past even the very recent past, maybe especially the very recent present is a mass of detail that’s hard to take in and process (not least because you have to push away the immediate present to do so). My conference. Here at Freaky Trigger. In a sense there is nothing. Post, a re...

Category: How Value Happens. July 10, 2016. Re-litigating the 70s: what we wanted, what went right, what went wrong, where do we go from here? 8220;During the Conservative government of Edward Heath there were five declarations of emergency under this Act [viz the Emergency Powers Act 1920. So for last 18 months, my plan had been to launch the kickstarter for the book of the conference I ran at Birkbeck. The kickstarter is here. But it had fermented in the undergrounds. The anti-racist agit-prop paper.

Flaubert’s “Sentimental Education”, II | Haquelebac
https://haquelebac.wordpress.com/2014/02/19/2331
An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia mundus regatur. Flaubert’s “Sentimental Education”, II. And he went into a private room by himself. Through the two open windows he could see people in the windows of the houses opposite. Broad puddles quivered like watered silk on the drying asphalt, and a magnolia at the edge of the balcony filled the room with its perfume. This scent and the cool of the evening soothed his nerves; and he sank onto the red divan under the mirror…. Flaubert, after several false st...

An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia mundus regatur. I said I never read anyone who takes philosophy personally or confuses philosophy with things that matter in their little lives. Philosopher cited in Wilshire, 2002, p. 1, explaining why he never read William James. The gist of Aaron Preston’s new book. Analytic Philosophy: The History of an Illusion. For Preston the rule of the paradigm is just wrong and unphilosophical if philosophy won’t examine and criticize paradigms, who will? In philosophy, t...
