Recent discussions of "longtermism" remind me that the dissertation I never wrote for the PhD I never got in philosophy was going to defend the thesis that, to put it very simply, epistemic humility ought to be at the center of any naturalistic ethics.

Russia is 1,664 days behind its schedule as Putin's (not so) "special operation" has descended into desperate recruitment of foreign meat to fight over scraps of land.

The word "fascist" comes from the Latin *fasces*, a bundle of sticks; the symbology here is that a single twig is weak and brittle, but bundled together, many twigs are strong. It's a sound political theory, because in politics, coalitions are everything:

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.

ALERT: everyone in the US must understand… everything Trump says is projection! Think of him as operating exactly like the Kremlin. All his accusations are a confession. When he introduces a new scare (D’s are communists) scrutinise his actions for communism. Putin is Trump’s mentor!
In two separate instances on Capitol Hill yesterday, there were references to Trump effectively embracing his own brand of “communism.”
And while there’s no point in trying to reduce the midterms to two competing red scares, the underling criticisms are hardly baseless.

Talk of Trump-style ‘communism’ reaches Capitol Hill ahead of the midterms
“I can think of no administration in the last 50 years that is quite as communist as the Trump administration,” one congressional Democrat said.
