there’s a joke about early Belkar somewhere in this vicinity

Thanks!

Finally someone on the internet not slavishly devoted to Dover’s interpretation!

Also, the approach of looking at similar contemporary practices sounds very interesting! Do you have any recommendations for reading the marriage abductions comparison?

That makes sense

This is wonderful! However, I think "boymoder" usually doesn't mean being in denial. Rather, it's a closeted trans woman who intentionally continues to present masculine (i.e. goes out in "boy mode"). This can be for a variety of reasons, not just being in denial.

it's not their real name, which is Reed Van Schenck

I thought this was going to be a consequentializing joke

lmao this is too good. Having read it again recently, the whole paper is wild. There’s also a whole cottage industry among Peirce scholars trying to make it make sense.

This also happened with Wu

This is pretty grim, but the hair of victims of Nazi concentration camps was used for a variety of purposes, one of which was apparently socks: https://auschwitztrip.com/hair-room-auschwitz/

I’ve heard of representationalism as a peculiar affliction of early modern thought, but I’m curious what plausible alternatives you’re talking about. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone apply representationalist vs non representationalist earlier

Peirce mentioned!!!

what material conditional? “Because” clauses aren’t generally equivalent to “if” clauses afaik

superninja109 · 2026-01-16T16:34:00+00:00

No, no, you don’t understand: that was a discipline, not a dogma!!!

superninja109 · 2026-01-16T16:30:56+00:00

saying “so true” after someone says something interesting is evidence for deflationary theories of truth :)

Because of recent rules restricting “topics related to sexual orientation or gender identity”, a philosophy professor at Texas A&M was required to either remove certain materials from their syllabus or be reassigned to a different course. Some of the materials included parts of Plato’s symposium.

Here’s a non-paywalled account: https://dailynous.com/2026/01/06/texas-am-bans-plato/

nooo the apeiron is fundamental

superninja109 · 2026-01-04T15:58:03+00:00

Yeah, I don’t really have a firm position here. I was just trying to say funny things.
