I'll be the keynote speaker at the Voir Dire Conference on October 9th/10th. In my talk, “Theorizing Justice Beyond the Status Quo: Indigenous Views and Hope for the Future,” I'll reflect on what a theory of justice would look like if we consider Indigenous perspectives instead of Western views.

If those 12 separatists could understand what they read, they would be really offended by this publication.

Now that Canada is about to join the EU as an "associate member," I expect the Canadian national anthem to be played constantly in Brussels. Here is the national anthem, in case you are not familiar with Canadian culture. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bFH...

You are telling me that governments working to favour billionaires over their citizens, and backing genocides against their constituents' wishes, could make citizens opt for a radical proposal that simplifies things in terms of race but promises some form of real democratic input? Shocking!

The AfD, classified as 'far-right extremist' by Germany's intelligence agency, is projected to come first in 2029.

Hot take #Philosophy: Just like NOBODY endorses phrenology as a scientifically valid field today, racial hierarchies will also be disregarded altogether from academia. I know this affects the core beliefs of the "just asking questions" crew, but trust me, you guys are the phrenologists of today. 1/2

Why are people attacking analytic philosophers now? The "I am just asking questions" crew deserves their racism, misogyny, and general insecurities protected. Just because they would rather endorse segregation, it doesnt mean we get to call them trash... or does it? 😂

“if we don’t stand up for the free speech of racists, it puts everyone’s free speech in danger.” - guy who only ever talks about free speech when it’s racism

Imagine saying that THE FIRST time you sign an open letter for academic freedom in a country that has been tearing it for the last few years, is TO SUPPORT RACISTS who spout debunked views because they are getting removed from academia. Weird hill to die on, but the comments are fun at least.

Alexander Kustov@akoustov.bsky.social · 3mo ago

This is the first open letter I've signed. I encourage all academics who still care about higher ed's credibility to do it. We're at a crossroads: if we can't uphold academic freedom even for those whose views are despicable, we won't agree on anything else. johnarmstrongmaths.com/openletters/...

Good. Any agreement with the US is unreliable. Let the millions of US citizens who allow this circus to keep going to suffer the consequences of their exceptionalism. As in, how exceptionally unaware they are of their reliance on Canadian products. www.cbc.ca/news/world/l...

Excellent question... which "opinions" of this racist POS are unpopular? If they actually list them, I am certain they would have a lot of explaining to do.

flyingrodent@flyingrodent.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Which opinions?

I have found so many US academics that think that any discussion about race, gender, social impacts, etc. HAS to be framed as part of their culture wars. No, they do not. The fastest most of the academic world breaks from US exceptionalism, the better our global discourses will be.

As of today, the US is officially at war against the International Criminal Court. Yes, the court that investigates war crimes and has, for the most part, refused to investigate Western countries for their war crimes and crimes against humanity. 1/3

The Republican Party and half the Democrats in the US right now:

Pierre Poilievre is so pathetic that he is trying to emulate Pete Hegseth now. The amount of fragile masculinity here is bewildering. Funny thing is these people try so hard to sound like MAGA but when you call them Maple MAGA they cry about it. #Canada #Politics

can't stop laughing at this Poilievre: "We will reinstill a warrior culture, not a woke culture."

The United States of America hosting the world cup is a disgrace. @fifaclubworldcup.bsky.social compromised the largest sports event in the planet to cuddle with Dorito Mussolini. To expose athletes to humiliation, violence, and clear political harassment is absolutely disgusting.

First leg of my European trip is done. Thanks to Noe Exposito and Fundación Sicomoro for organizing this and letting me talk about Andean pre-colonial philosophy in Madrid. Next stop Paris for #LASA2026. See you then! #philosophy #IndigenousPhilosophy #Madrid

El 19 de mayo de 2026 impartiré una charla sobre la filosofía andina precolonial. La reunión será a las 6:00 pm hora de Madrid, en la calle Castillo 20, local de la Fundación Sicomoro. Habrá transmisión en vivo por Zoom. (enlace 👇) fundacionsicomoro.org/evento/sabid...

This past semester I taught my philosophy of law class. There, I discussed the Mikisew Cree First Nation v. Canada (Governor General in Council) case from 2018 with them. I pointed out how the duty to consult Indigenous people was denied by the supreme court. 1/4 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Someone called vapes "douche flutes" and I think that is the best way to describe those aberrations. 🤣

What if, all the universities that have faculties devoted to software development were to commission and pay their own staff and students to develop ther own online learning platforms. Instead of, and I know this is wild, having 9k institutions paying one single company to do it for them. 1/2

The Alberta Premier, who has been changing legislation and advocating for separatists to get their unconstitutional referedum off the ground is now surprised that the separatists have broken de law to ACCESS AND SHARE the private info of 3 million people. #albertapolitics #leak #rcmp

The ambassador of the USA in Peru has effectively pushed for a coup in Peru. The Peruvian armed forces have overriden the current president and moved forward with the purchase of a group of F16 jets. The planes are, as per US regulations, useless against any US allied country. 1/4

Heidegger, Derrida, and Rawls WERE TERRIBLE WRITERS. Why do people in Western philosophy, either analytic or continental, still try to sound and write like these people? The more some try to sound "technical," the more I understand why some people think of philosophy as mere pretentious opinion.

This sound just like the NYT, can't tell the difference anymore 😅

Trump’s threat of Armageddon raises eyebrows in some liberal circles.

The fact that Trump can threaten to commiting atrocities in order to stop an illegal war HE started, is an indictment of the entire US society. All of their presidents have been bombing, killing, and destroying people's lives around the planet for almost 100 years and they never really care. 1/3
