A 1975 footnote about central banks turns out to explain almost everything wrong with late capitalism.

Just in case you doubt that there are non-flashy academics on the ground still fighting the good fight: today marks 2 years and 2 days for me as a pro se Plaintiff in a Federal case against an institution of higher learning. Would not recommend, yet still persisting.

New episode dropped today and you might want to put in your earbuds for this one, because we're figuring out whether or not "a**holes" can be defined precisely enough to constitute a philosophical category! hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/ahol...

Why are there suddenly so many of them?

I say this in the newest @hotelbarpodcast.bsky.social episode (linked below), which really should go without saying, but I cannot imagine anything more immediately disqualifying for a person to hold office than to announce his intention to commit war crimes. hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/war-...

Episode 221: War Crimes - Hotel Bar Podcast

A philosophical discussion about the worst we do to one another.

hotelbarpodcast.com

Few topics generate more heat and less light than war crimes — and few topics deserve more careful philosophical attention right now. Check out our most recent episode, which dropped today, on "War Crimes" below: hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/war-...

Oh, coooool -- possible worlds!! Can't wait to hear! (Everyone, Hotel Bar Sessions is such a great podcast; it's always fascinating no matter the topic being discussed. Try it out!) @hotelbarpodcast.bsky.social #scifi #astronomy #simulations #possibleworlds #philosophy #futures

Jen Kling@jenhkling.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Why are philosophers so obsessed with possible worlds—thought experiments, counterfactuals, fictional worlds, and ideal worlds? What’s going on with all that? @drleighmjohnson.bsky.social, @philosophymatters.bsky.social, and I discuss!

Not familiar with @hotelbarpodcast.bsky.social ? Strongly recommend. Great #philosophy discussions for philosophers and non-philosophers alike. I think of it as The New Yorker for philosophy. Perfect #podcast for driving or relaxing on a rainy afternoon.
