Induction this, deduction that. Why don't we talk about the real earth-shattering inferential method. Which is subduction.

the WNBA policy says "Only women can play in the WNBA" but then they've had two publicly enby players, and celebrated them?? anyone understand what's up with that? image thing for them? are they just asleep at the wheel on the policy? strikes me as pretty disrespectful tbh
Yes, I think it is bad to train machines to churn out plausible-sounding arguments for any claim whatsoever with no regard for its plausibility. And that is why I'm in favour of shutting down the philosophy department.

!["Out of the 32 pieces on the Suspiria master list, 18 are not extant; they were either planned but never written, or written but lost before publication. (In his later years, De Quincey, working by candlelight, had an unfortunate propensity to set things — his papers; his hair — on fire.)[7] The lost pieces bear evocative and provoking titles:
The Dreadful Infant (There was the glory of innocence made perfect; there was the dreadful beauty of infancy that had seen God)
Foundering Ships
The Archbishop and the Controller of Fire
God that didst Promise
Count the Leaves in Vallombrosa
But if I submitted with Resignation, not the less I searched for the Unsearchable — sometimes in Arab Deserts, sometimes in the Sea
That ran before us in malice
Morning of Execution
Kyrie Eleison
The Nursery in Arabian Deserts
The Halcyon Calm and the Coffin
Faces! Angels' Faces!
At that Word
Oh, Apothanate! that hatest death, and cleansest from the Pollution of Sorrow
Who is this Woman that for some Months has followed me up and down? Her face I cannot see, for she keeps for ever behind me
Cagot and Cressida
Lethe and Anapaula
Oh, sweep away, Angel, with Angelic Scorn, the Dogs that come with Curious Eyes to gaze.

People say that posting has no real-world impact but an article in the Oxford Handbook Of Moral Realism carefully explains one of my hilarious jokes, so
!["It is so easy to fail to imagine even relatively obvious possibilities that this fact can be easily exploited for humorous effect:"
Screenshot of tweet by MikeBenchCapon on May 8th 2021: "People think that if two people are facing each other then one of them's left is the other one's right, but that's only true if neither or both of them are upside down"
Main text continues: "This works as a joke because (sorry, as philosophers we have to explain this) as you read it the words ‘facing
each other’ prime you to expect that indeed, one person’s left is the other person’s right, and so when the author describes people as “thinking” this, you think ‘of course they think it – it’s true’. And then the humor
comes from obviousness in retrospect that this is not, in fact, generally true, but only true under the ordinary kind of circumstances that we imagine when we imagine two people facing one another.
The same thing, we know, has happened repeatedly in the recent history of metaethics. Before Mackie [1977], it was easy to define moral realism in contrast to noncognitivism..."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5bdrmuceq4ypcb2v7jlkxrh5/bafkreidkc5nqnv2j5o5vs3drbtpjbeyxgpb6v3xdktt5b7xrnn3fudl6li)
