> It is therefore important to introduce students to digital tools and practices at an early stage—both in specialized, DH-oriented programs and in philosophy education more broadly. Proposed minimum competencies include working with digital bibliographic data and reference management tools such as Zotero, basic knowledge of regular expressions (regex), and proficient use of document styles/templates for academic texts.

”Whitehead says, look,…every individual must become a philosopher. Not just a few elites. But we need to foster the type of pedagogy and educational context wherein that’s possible. And we don’t have that.”

”I don’t think the problem is that philosophy is not relevant. I think it’s just that there’s a lot of bad philosophy. You know—Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Steve Bannon—these are the intellectual architects of…the current administration in many respects.”

The dawn of the post-literate society - by James Marriott (September 2025):
https://jmarriott.substack.com/p/the-dawn-of-the-post-literate-society-aa1
The author makes an interesting reference to Walter Ong's book "Orality and Literacy", which states that "certain kinds of complex and logical thinking simply cannot be achieved without reading and writing".

Last was "Simone de Beauvoir: Philosophy & Feminism" by Nancy Bauer. This is very much a philosophical work, but within that genre it's one of the more readable and reasonable books that I've read. Bauer reflects on Beauvoir's work and responds to her critics, taking an even handed approach and importantly not reflexively quoting giants of the field as if they are religious figures. Highly recommend

This statement about the entitlement of privilege mindset floors me every time it shows up. Must pin.

New rant, domestication, parsed by your neurotype.

Watching The Zoo at Tampa or something, they have a Red Wolf with a problem, they’re giving meds, and they’re a little embarrassed, the wolf is talking to them, hanging around asking for his meds wrapped in hamburger, “He’s not as shy as he should be, but it’s working in our favour for this.”
.
The one, more tolerant wolf, that’s the dog origin story, right?
.
I have it here at home too, sixth summer here, this year I have my first tolerant hummingbird, hangs around when I open the door, when I’m out there - and I see the others learning from that one, they do a double take and some stay when that one stays.
.
So right now to me, it looks like everything is ready to be . . . civil, all the time. The zoo shows really drive that feeling home.
.
Domestication isn’t some rare, one in ten thousand year thing, it’s more like . . . normal. The world isn’t 100% aggression all the time, and these are predators.
.
That’s just . . . not to be confrontational, Imma say a polite, “us.”

I have a few huge questions regarding . . . Neolithic, or forever Indigenous lives, and one is I need to know about childrearing before the Spanking Gene, and also, wildlife management, how do you deal with bears and wolves NOT the way modern people have.
.
I have ideas, but I wish I could KNOW these things. 🤨💜
