Mastodon BR precisa de uma hashtag para divulgar e compartilhar nossas belezas locais; adoro fotos (embora não pratique) e aqui só vejo coisas da Europa e EUA, isso aqui está muito colônia ainda. Vivemos num país continental, e em cada cidade há algo a ser captado pelo olhar sutil de vocês.

“Trump’s calls for unity are not sincere, and simply running a politician’s insincere claims as banner headlines is not journalism, it’s advertising.” — the excellent @foser at https://www.findinggravity.net/p/the-totalitarian-tell-in-trumps-unity

“While the media was quick to adopt the Trump campaign’s preferred talking points, the most important passage in Trump’s speech has received almost no media attention: Trump rambled on at length about his fondness for Viktor Orban and Kim Jung Un — both of whom, Trump suggested, want him back in the White House. …” 1/2

“… Victor Orban is the Hungarian authoritarian who has become something of a role model for the Republican Party. Kim Jung Un… is the North Korean dictator known for ordering the executions of political figures including members of his own family.” 2/2 https://www.findinggravity.net/p/the-totalitarian-tell-in-trumps-unity by @foser

Remember those lovely (not) photos of the Republican attendees at their cult convention the NYT published? You will believe what the Times decided not to report. https://www.findinggravity.net/p/horny-for-fascism

Dies Diskussion um noch längere Lebensarbeitszeit ebbt nicht ab. Die Ampel will es mit Geldversprechen erreichen.

Ich hab ja schon einige Verwandte und Bekannte verloren, die deutlich vor dem Rentenalter gestorben sind …

Davon mal ab: kennt irgendwer Firmen, wo man mit 65, 67 überhaupt noch einen Job haben oder bekommen *kann*??

In today's English/Chinese philosophy salon here in #Tainan, I talked about drawing as taking a line for a walk, and #philosophy as taking a thought for a walk. Then we all took a line of text about walking from Zhuangzi, Laozi or Kongzi, and took it for a walk to see where it led us.

Some people left the building with their texts. But they all wandered back, and by the end of the session, people were so deep in conversation, they didn't want to leave.

No philosophy today: the armchair is making that face again. #pareidolia

Slept in and woke up very late today. Having some coffee, and then I've got a Descartes class and the Classic Metal class for the rest of the morning and early afternoon. Gotta get it in gear!

I gave a lecture on Hegel's Master-Slave Dialectic to Intro To Philosophy students at Marist College using the "old-school" education at the Culinary Institute of America at the time as an example to illustrate the dynamic
