Philosophy is comprehensively bunk. The value in studying it is that if you don’t, and if you think about abstract stuff, you inevitably reinvent it. Fortunately, for every attractive philosophical idea, someone has already done the work of figuring out why it’s wrong

How would you classify your project(s)? Historical scholarship? Popular critique? Philosophy(???)

Self-help for nerds mostly. Some amateur social critique.

I wonder if you may overgeneralize "cognitive science", giving it bad rep it doesn't deserve. Cognitivism is kinda dead, at least at my school (UCSD). Interactionist approach is default & strongly emphasized See Hutchins 2010—"Cognitive Ecology"

Yes, I’ve always admired Hutchins’ work, and I’m aware that parts of the field have recently looped back around to embodied/embedded/etc approaches, and am supportive of that:https://meaningness.com/metablog/abstract-emergent …

Would you say that cognitivist (or non-interactionist) approaches are still dominant at other major institutions, say Brown, IU Bloomington, MIT, Stanford? I have found it odd, especially, that the department is called "Symbolic Systems" at Stanford.

I don’t know… I am not close enough to them. My impression is yes but I could easily be wrong.

I'm particularly also wondering why you lament the decline of ethnomethodology—or is that an old perspective? What did Garfinkel's work have that you think is missing from ethnographic methods today? Anthropology, cognitive ethnography, design...

That’s a big topic, I’m not the right person to explain it, and it’s bed time :)
