I "interviewed" ChatGPT about its pretensions to consciousness last week. ChatGPT waxes nicely philosophical and, yowza, agrees with my premise that Musk's wacko insistence his Grok AI emulate the political persuasions of his own scurvy brain is Bad Seed stuff.

I’ve read very little of Dugin, and I really don’t care all that much, but this interview came up in my Twitter timeline and so I read a bit. www.multipolarpress.com/p/philosophi...

I don’t know the audience and I’m not sure if there’s a translation issue, but there are telltale charlatan signs.

Philosophical Sovereignty: The Foundation of a State’s Independence

Russia’s destiny depends on the rebirth of its own sacred way of thinking.

I was recently thinking of some of the cultural issues behind this at my own newsletter. I hope you won't mind if I share it here. I don't know how universal these experiences are, but it reflects my own life in the field.

This is where I personally stood on the question of Trump, free speech, and annoying centrists vs good decent progressives.

I used to be a practitioner of the "write an article about a single academic study" form of journalism, which I've come to think is a pretty bad way to cover research.

But covering it better by summarizing a bunch of related studies is a lot more work...

But the things that made my research successful: originality, crossing disciplinary boundaries, open-mindedness – that ended up getting in the way of my finding a steady job as university faculty. This latest post meditates on why I never fit in.

I'm currently in the early stages of building a newsletter & figuring out how best to fix its focus. Right now, it's beginning by taking stock of where I am in my career. It's a difficult spot

My latest newsletter considers the potential for philosophical thinking's creativity to come up with solutions for the crisis in higher education, & why the field stumbles over its own feet before it can even try.

Also in those days there were broken-toothed radicals on Greyhounds who refused to have social security numbers & nattered on about fluoride & arresting war criminal Henry Kissinger. These were the anti-vax, Chemtrails-addled eccentrics of their time.
