“Academic English,” the dominant language of contemporary philosophy, is different from everyday English.

One step closer to a state legislature here in actually represents the citizens of Wisconsin. Republicans will now have to work hard to earn votes rather than just count on the gerrymander for safe seats

Ik geef toe dat ik niet de handigste persoon van de wereld ben. Daar mag iemand ook best wat van zeggen. Maar dat als ik bij bol.com tuinhandschoenen bestel, ze me twee linkerhandschoenen sturen, dat gaat wel erg ver.

Do we (humans) have any other long term probes up there that will be even more interesting (and endearing) in a couple of decades?

My grandma and I message on whatsapp. If I send her a message directly, she literally never reads it.
If I send her a message to a group chat called "Ethan Landes" that only contains me and her, she will often respond within 5 minutes.

@vcaston @androcat @philosophy Yes. This is a correct formulation of the structure. Transcendental arguments are logically valid. (Of course many of them aren't sound.)

Selbst wenn es wenig überrascht – der Job von Journalist*innen ist es, Belege zu sammeln und im gesellschaftlichen Kontext einzuordnen. NDR, WDR und SZ sind an internes Material einer Agentur gekommen, die für Russland Desinformation verbreitet:
"Indem wir unsere Informationsangriffe sorgfältig vorbereitet haben [...], glauben wir fest an den endgültigen Sieg. Das Schlachtfeld sind die Köpfe der Bewohner des Planeten Erde. Auf diesem Schlachtfeld werden wir herrschen."

Here's the next core concept video on John Wisdom's "Gods", looking at the sources of questions people can have in disputes over God's existence. Some are experimental, some are metaphysical, but it's a third kind that Wisdom is particularly interested in
