    "Like police detectives who go undercover and become too attached to the trappings of the criminal underworld to ever return from it, so too are logicians drawn in by sophisms.” (Currently enjoying @jehsmith *Irrationality*)

        He is good on how Zizek's "self-Orientalizing schtick...enables him to play at undermining the pieties of liberal democratic or bourgeois society, as he comes from a place where, the prejudice has it, these pieties have no hope of taking root in the inhospitable soil. ”pic.twitter.com/czF2PiED50

        On Nabokov on Freud:"What Nabokov could not abide is the idea that we might be mysteries to ourselves, that we might not be fully in command of our own lives, but rather are all driven by strange tics and hang-ups that we must turn to someone else, a purported expert, to discern"

        Now reading part on art and genius, I wish @jehsmith had discussed the way in which "genius" makes idiosyncracy/irrationality safe--the idea that genius is innate, unacquirable, untransmittable i.e. *uninfectious*, has always struck me as important for 'containment' of irrational

        Smith (rightly) criticizes Brennan for not explaining how epistocracy could come to be (in any way that doesn't entrench power), but is guilty of same lacuna when suggesting the internet/social media could be good if regulated by democratic deliberation. How cd. this come to be?

        Not to get too meta on you but here's his take on twitter: “Online discourse feels free, to the extent that it is pleasing to the individual who puts it out there, but it is more or less always channeled either down the path of like-seeking, or down the path of trolling.”

        "if we hope to establish a way of looking at human variety that favors continuity and fluidity, how does it help matters to simply shift the fundamental rift from that between “male” and “female” to that between “cis” and “trans”? ” I enjoyed his tiptoeing into "universalism"

        “the economic model of the individual actor has tended to envision him as being of infinite duration, as not standing before the horizon of his own finitude.” I do think this is the dividing line btwn the parts of phil. more and less conversant with economics.

        "We have been analyzing human diversity to no end over the past several decades, but the sort of diversity of human experience that emerges from the fact that we are all of different ages, that there are stages on life’s way, has been largely neglected” --@jehsmith, Irrationality
