THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

wasn’t that the ultra reactionary monarchist movement whose pretender turned out to be a leftist so all his followers had to adopt leftist positions bc if you’re a reactionary monarchist questioning the will of the king is treason

Since I found out the DPRK are actually material supporters of Hamas I've been a lot more sympathetic (the only state to do so besides Iran I guess?). I'm just some dumb American for all I know Kim Ill Sung was actually the second coming of Marx/Jesus/whatever let's give juche thought a try on the continent.

Accordingly in 1820 de Quincey was nominated for a Professorship in Moral Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. "

Idk if it has changed but at least now for at least some professorships anyone can make a nomination. It's not like he got the job.

Is de Quincey all that notable beyond Confessions? Would you reccomend him?

1: godel's incompleteness theorems were 1931

2: turing's computing machinery and intelligence was 1950

3: it's a dark horse, but I'm partial to van invawgen's incompatibility of free will and determinism which was published in 1975

4: I get that people dig the tractatus but even the extremely dead and gay discipline of philosophy kept right on asking questions

If the Empire decides to invade Iran they will probably do what their Ukrainian franchise has been doing and draft 40 year olds or whatever.

edit

yeah

Despite this fame, [wittgenstein] could not initially work at Cambridge as he did not have a degree, so he applied as an advanced undergraduate. Russell noted that his previous residency was sufficient to fulfill eligibility requirements for a PhD, and urged him to offer the Tractatus as his thesis.[207] It was examined in 1929 by Russell and Moore; at the end of the thesis defence, Wittgenstein clapped the two examiners on the shoulder and said, ‘”Don’t worry, I know you’ll never understand it.”[208] Moore wrote in the examiner’s report: “I myself consider that this is a work of genius; but, even if I am completely mistaken and it is nothing of the sort, it is well above the standard required for the Ph.D. degree.”[209] Wittgenstein was appointed as a lecturer and was made a fellow of Trinity College.

God drat, what a baller. Insulted his examiners to their faces and the examiners basically agreed that the insult was appropriate.
