      Not even a mention of the possibility that what one writes publicly isn’t always subsumable under the institutional good (too inconvenient) or is motivated by the good of a different, non-academic community. A white perspective. But what do I know, I’m not a philosopher.

      .@jehsmith is quite wrong about the attitude philosophers have towards public work, they HATE it generally and it counts against your career. But he is also wrong about why academic parents tweet the same things non-academic parents tweet about (it’s because they’re parents!).

      He’s also wrong about fun, and I’m sure he is anti-cookies as well. I still enjoy reading him because he is incredibly cantankerous and smart. But yeah his takes can be a a bit Martian like (the comment about parents being an example). He is outside the sociology of the field.

      Thanks Jason, I do admire in you some of the traits I lack. Some corrections: I love families (not least my own!). What I don't love is mass surveillance and the new 'job creep' that places us amidst our colleagues, ...

      I think you don’t understand the genuine hostility a lot of analytic philosophers have for public work.

      Ah, ok, this was the last point I meant to address, and what I wanted to say is: of course I do! I experience the hostility myself. I have first-hand certainty of it. That said, for complex economic reasons, I've noticed, and I think you must have noticed, that very recently...

          ... administrators, if not yet all colleagues, are treating public work as something positive, classifying it as 'outreach', etc. That doesn't mean you won't get pushback from colleagues who don't like what you're doing or who think it's taking away from your scholarship.
