If I submit something here, if it then gets accepted, if I subsequently put it on my resumé - would anybody even notice?
What if we all pimped our h-index by writing for at least one predatory journal each week?

Das Problem ist nicht nur, dass dies zutiefst rassistisch ist. Es gefährdet alle Menschen, die nun qua ihres Aussehens als "nicht deutsch" kategorisiert werden - weil so "von oben" genehmigt. #Merz' Aussage ist ein Freibrief für jene, die selbst "Hand anlegen" wollen.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

man muss nur "mathematical vector space" weniger mathematisch und mehr psychoanalytisch denken, dann ist man da, wo der Mensch eben nicht "Herr im eigenen Haus" (Freud) ist, sondern "gesprochen wird". Ich find das irre spannend - und natürlich gefährlich, da es um Mensch-Maschinen-Abhängigkeit geht.

Übrigens wird der Grund, warum manche Lacanianer sagen, das #AI ein Unterbewusstsein habe, in so einem Satz von Salvaggio verdeutlicht: "The mind becomes a vast mathematical vector space through which words assert themselves rather than a personal library through which words are, sometimes, found."

#KarlJaspers final two pages of his "The idea of the university" (1946) - more pertinent than ever!

"Nationalism, like everything else, forms a legitimate topic of research but cannot provide the basic direction of the university itself."
excerpt from Karl Jaspers THE IDEA OF THE UNIVERSITY The University and the Nation Greek in origin, the idea of the university is part of the Western tradition. As a publicly endowed institution the university belongs to the state; as a privately endowed institution it is certainly part of a given national scene. In either case, it is the expression of a whole people. Seeking truth and the improvement of mankind, the university aims to stand for man's humanity par excellence. Humanttas is part of its very fiber, no matter how often and how deeply that term has changed its meaning. Thus, while every university is part of a nation, it has its sights set on goals above and beyond nationhood. Differences aside, in this respect, at least, it is akin to the idea of the church. The university proper must not take sides in the conflict between nations, even though as human beings its members have each their national allegiance. Members of the university, whether faculty, deans or the president himself, abuse their position if they should choose to hold political rallies in favor of either a particular party or of the country as a whole. They serve their nation and all mankind solely through the medium of intellectual creativity. The idea of the university suffers when abused for extraneous ends. Nationalism, like everything else, forms a legitimate topic of research but cannot provide the basic direction of the university itself. We have come to the end. Beginning with the attempt to define the nature of science and the intellectual life sustaining it, we were led to examine the university as an institution. The variety of issues which had to be raised could ob- (end of page) scure the one all-important issue: the ideal of the university which is the very lifeblood of higher education. This ideal cannot be reduced to a few simple statements but had to be brought out indirectly. May we grow ever more aware of its real meaning, and may it serve as a standard guiding our judgment of all aspects of university life. No one who does not feel its validity can be made to see it Since discussion is fruitless except where there is common ground, all we have done is put familiar facts in a new light. We are deeply committed to this ideal which has given meaning to our life; yet we lack the necessary strength to speak of it with the enthusiasm it deserves. We know that truth, striving all around us to be seen and recognized, will live or perish with our ability to realize the ideal of the university in its ever-changing forms. (end of page)

"Just as it is philosophy’s task to unite truth and freedom, so it is the equally herculean task of politics to bring freedom and justice together."

There is a lot of right-wing talk (incl. Republican) on 'activist judges' these days, using the term negatively. This judge right here is someone who could be labelled as such: appearing on cable news, promoting her book while at the same time trying to discredit #SCOTUS and her entire profession.

Wenn aus dem „Mitmachen“ eine Notwendigkeit wird, dann wird das Handeln (die wahre politische Tätigkeit) zum Funktionieren degradiert. Für #HannahArendt lag darin eine Perversion; sie sprach von der „verrückte[n] Idealisierung des Gehorsams“
(NDR-Interview mit dem Journalisten Joachim Fest, 1964).

Dass ein Satz mit solch autoritärem Sound von der SPD fällt ist das eine. Dass ein Social-Media-Team sich dann hinsetzt und denkt: »Geil, den posten wir«, da fällt mir nix mehr zu ein.

« circulation pure » könnte hier aber wie das Lacansche « réel » gemeint sein. Also nicht als Realität, sondern als Reales. Aber dazu müsste ich den Kontext besser kennen. Ist ne witzige Leseerfahrung für mich. Ich denke, ich kenn es, aber irgendwas ist „schräg“…

Spannend. Viele Anleihen an Lacan. Konzepte ähnlich, Interpretation anders:
B: « signe » L: « signifiant »

B: « enchainé au réel »,
L: « réel » ja, aber nicht Verkettung sondern Loch

B: Kapital „befreit“ die Zeichen
L: Kapital „entleert“ sie (« vider »)

B: « circulation pure »
L: « jouissance »

#HannahArendt ist ‘in’: von Söder über Kretschmann bis zum Papst, von links- wie rechts, vom Globalen Norden bis Süden, ihr Name in aller Munde. Aber nicht im Rahmen öffentlicher Debatten, sondern zur Selbsterhöhung. Es hat sich nichts geändert: sie hat es damals schon gehasst. Lest sie selbst!
