#Reconceptualization
The world is watching in horror as the hegemon commits suicide via the deliberate destruction of state capacity and the elimination of professional expertise.

This is not some coherent reconceptualization of U.S. foreign policy: It is national self-sabotage of world-historic dimensions.
AP follows the @notus.com report on how the Trump administration had already gutted the State Dept’s staff of Middle East policy experts — and “eliminated the dedicated Iran office ..”

It is 100% true to say that Clinton and the mainstream of the Democratic Party did a great deal to further entrench this paradigm. But inflation-phobia — and the concomitant reconceptualization of the citizen as consumer — was a political economic project that encompassed the entire elite class.

between the billionaire rails he's snorting and the dozens of head/body reconceptualization surgeries he's received, elon musk must breathe like an english bulldog at the top of a hill

ultimately the struggle around transness is also a struggle around the reconceptualization of (the regime of) sex and the sexed body - i would add, not unlike the struggle to decouple sex (the thing you do with people) as a relationship of shared pleasure vs sex as heterosexual reproduction

Exciting day. My set-theoretic reconceptualization of the DSM (w/ MDD, GAD, and PTSD as empirical examples) is out today in JPCS, along with four invited commentaries and my response. I'm biased, but I recommend all six papers. I was really jazzed by all four commentaries. 1/25

"A couple days work," he said, sitting at the precipice of a complete reconceptualization and rewrite
has anyone had luck with online journals lately? I've got something timely and ~7k words that I could get in submission shape with a couple of days of work but the LR spreadsheet says the online journals have been essentially completely radio silent this fall.

The modern reconceptualization of the tomboy as a marketable sex object instead of a undesired deviant is somewhat shocking.

I think many Canadians would be open to this relationship, or at the very least. the reconceptualization of a defense agreement that excludes the USA who has so far threatened two existing NATO members (Canada, Denmark) and thrown shade at many more.

Excited for this reconceptualization of the already very good A VERY GOOD YEAR podcast. Never a bad idea to walk in Danny Peary's footsteps.
So on our show, also titled GUIDE FOR THE FILM FANATIC, we'll invite a guest to pick one of the "must-see movies" for an hour-long deep dive. It can be one that they love, or that they just think is underrated, or even overrated, or EVEN something they've always meant to see but haven't. Whatever!

Last thing for tonight! Revisiting #astraria 's heart as a concept again for another class as well! So here's some reconceptualization for sage.

The bones of this argument as presented are pretty chilling, and hint at a wholesale reconceptualization of the relationship between citizen and state.
One chilling implication of this bonkers (but still horrifying) argument is the “one cannot give allegiance and promise to be bound by the laws through and act of defiance of those laws.”

You don’t have to take that too many steps out to be terrified about what that implies about citizenship.
Point to hit again and again is that this **is not true** in most cases. Most of these people entered LEGALLY and then didn’t leave. They absolutely did “give allegiance.” Flatly false.

I wrote a blog post about the massive new article on "Neural and molecular changes during a mind-body reconceptualization, meditation, and open label placebo healing intervention." It was a bloodbath neurocritic.blogspot.com/2025/11/crea...

The emergence of plasma-based directed-energy weapon systems requires a reconceptualization of deterrence theory, writes Mohammad Eslami.

Unlike nuclear deterrence, based in the logic of catastrophic retaliation, plasma deterrence may function through precision, disruption, and strategic ambiguity.
Plasma weapons and deterrence in the age of emerging military technologies
The emergence of plasma-based directed-energy weapon systems necessitates a reconceptualization of deterrence theory. Plasma weapons are advanced, experimental systems designed to project…

There is a nice paper on the ethnographic contribution of ice age research by Matthew Birkhold (trigger warning: contains German, might cause unnecesarily complex sentence structure, cravings of sausage, and needlessly restrictive beer composition laws) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

she dissociates on my identity until I realize that the dark shadow other is merely an alternate but still fundementally fictional reconceptualization of the same base trauma that informs my own self-concept. she also does some weird mouth stuff

Ds take note:
"American governance requires more than incremental adjustment; it demands fundamental reconceptualization. The challenge transcends mere efficiency—it encompasses the very relationship between citizens and their institutions."

Maybe it's time for a reconceptualization of the opposition to the new administration?

even after second viewing the movie’s reconceptualization of the Ozdust Ballroom feels muddled-
if it’s supposed to be an “underground” space, there should be animals dancing alongside humans !

Prof. Reich, it’s not a question of unrigging the system. The system is working as designed: To provide exceptional financial rewards to sociopaths.

A new system must be built while the old one is dismantled.

First, there needs to be a complete reconceptualization of law.

On my way to Montreal for SASE 2025. We’ll have a running theme, throughout the conference, of new thinking about economics after the end of capitalism.

I’m excited to present my new work and to debate with others. See you there!
