"On our end-of-year survey for all the programs, we had many students say that they were more likely to apply to graduate school in philosophy, but a large number also indicated that they were not."

Seeing the direction academia is headed, maybe that means we were successful?

I grew up the son of a Baptist preacher. Unsurprisingly, the first time I read the word ‘philosophy’ was in the Bible. The message was not a positive one.

A Korean translation of my @1000wordphilosophy.bsky.social article on epistemic arguments for democracy is now available. Unfortunately I can't read it to see if they translated me correctly. An overlooked application for Google translate

From my wife Laura on political signaling while mourning Charlie Kirk. There's no need for "even though I don't agree with his politics..."
