I think top programs should appoint professors more like football managers. "Princeton just appointed Brett Karlan." "That's a string of 5 rejections from Nous. Karlan and the board are at odds again." "Karlan sacked from his job at Princeton after 5 months and no Phil Review papers."

We don’t call each other names! We merely have writing techniques like this:
“Let us call this view of Karlan ‘the pig-ignorant view’ and then dispassionately assess its merits.”

Pam Karlan 20 years ago put it pretty simply: "Suppose you have two parties. The Problack party and the Antiblack party." Suppose their platforms reflect the names.
Hm... are we going to see racial polarization? Rhetorical question.
But 2026 SCOTUS says nope. That's PARTISAN polarization. 🤨

I stand with Brett Karlan. Analytic philosophers and other humanists don't get along and each will pretend its because the other is annoying whereas they are not, but in fact the fight is simply between two diametrically opposed ways of being annoying. None of us are normal, none of us are bearable.
"Analytic philosophers are annoying" sure, agree. But other humanities academics are infinitely more annoying. Give me autism-coded obsessive geeks over the children of various US suburbs LARPing as Europeans any day
