Hmm. What do we think of this? I'm inclined to think identifying postmodern content in university courses is not an unethical thing to do.

I don't think it constitutes harassment to identify course content. And it could be used by students & parents who wanted pomo based studies as well as those who wanted to avoid them.

there's a diff between cautionary warning & critique of poor epistemology & calling academics evil people with sinister motivations while foaming at the mouth, he's the wrong person to deliver this, & yes, it will lead to harassment. See some of his followers behavior on twitter.

ps: no problem with clear, objective statement of contents, like fire does for free speech codes. it's useful for students.

Stupid. Please define POMO. What isn’t to naive rationalist taste I’m thinking.

It’s rationalist god-botherers like Jordan Peterson and Gad Saad who need the trigger warnings

JP is not a rationalist. He doesn't believe in objective truth.

Disagree. He thinks Sky Fairy is objectively true.

Show me? He might do but his epistemology is explicitly against this. First two from Maps of Meaning.pic.twitter.com/o2dWnBPYIv

Interesting. A@d his reference to knowledge as it were as “what is useful” (to survive in an environment) isn’t all that diff from Rorty.

Precisely. I mistook him for a postmodernist for a long time & now I understand his stance better, I still have the same problems with it that I have with postmodern epistemology.
